"Someone asked you to accuse Reece of hitting you, right?"

Sophie cut to the chase, causing the woman to panic slightly. "Accusation? He did hit me!"

The woman's demeanor was evidently odd, and Sophie went on, "I looked into you and found out you're not even a fan of Reece. Why were you at the studio that day?"

Sophie's lie came naturally, but the woman seemed prepared. Her response was much smoother as she insisted, "I am a fan of Reece! I went there that day hoping to see him and get an autograph, but he just lashed out at me! So what if he's a big star? Isn't he propped up by fans like us? Reece is just all show!"

Hearing this, Sophie leaned back in her chair and asked, "Not many people know Reece's schedule, and he even left the studio early that day. How did you know?"

"I got the news ahead of time!"

"Where did you get the news from?"

"From a fan group, of course!"

"Are you in the group?"

"Of course!"

"Tell me your nickname then, and I'll look it up."

At this, the woman clearly hesitated.

Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "Those who know Reece's schedule and can get his autograph are usually the top fans. Our fan group isn't that large. If you were a top fan, I'd find you easily." Sophie waved her phone in front of the woman, making her even more nervous.

It was easy for her to frame Reece, but to leverage the narrative of Reece hitting a fan was a clever mistake.

Becoming a verified top fan wasn't something that happened overnight. The woman was lying. That was clear as day.

Sophie said, "kknow the person who

hired you is from Burke

International. They just wanted to trap Reece for a few days, and you've done that. If you keep

insisting on this today, I guarantee you won't be able to stay in Devonport."

"You..."

"Take your time. If you're willing to talk, I'll also give you a nice sum of money. You'll get money from both sides. Isn't that a great deal?" The woman was swayed by Sophie's words.

A moment later, Sophie walked out of the interrogation room composedly, the woman having agreed to settle privately.

Sophie then led Reece out, and just as they left the police station, Reece took Sophie's hand, frowning. "What did you promise her?"

"Just some money. People like her work for money. As long as there's money, she won't make trouble."

"But by doing this, we're just accepting a loss, and you know I didn't lay a hand on her."

Sophie patted Reece's hand and

said, "Don't worry, I always get even.

Since

Velke

We've taken a loss, we'll

definitely reclaim it from those who started this." S

"Ms. Sophie, is that you?"

Nichole's surprised voice came from across the street. Sophie turned to see Nichole arm in arm with James, holding a bouquet of roses. They just came out of the nearby diner, looking every bit the loving couple.

Reece frowned upon seeing James with Nichole. When did James and Nichole get together?

The next second, James spoke up coldly, "I didn't expect you to have so many lovers."
