Landon Ford said directly, "Does it have anything to do with The Aetherium Sect?"

Thea Shaw: "We can’t say that without evidence."

From what she had observed of The Aetherium Sect’s members so far, she felt Mark Moody and Adrian Anson didn’t have that kind of power.

It’s just that The Aetherium Sect’s fame is simply too big, so whenever something happens, people think of them first—which isn’t entirely undeserved.

Landon Ford frowned, thinking of a few things as well.

If there’s a fortune teller behind this, similar to Thea, and the plan gets discovered and disrupted, whether there will be retaliation is another matter. If they fear the power of the Ford Group, that would be better. But if they act rashly, there’s a chance they could do something incomprehensible.

Thea had a vague feeling that the line behind Alex Sherman was tied to a huge conspiracy. Whether this conspiracy involved The Aetherium Sect was still unknown.

The two of them were discussing while not straying too far from the police’s line of sight, as Thea was still involved in the incident.

Before the investigation was clarified, Thea appeared to be the victim, but she seemed even more aggressive than the perpetrator.

When the police reviewed the footage, they couldn’t believe that the girl swinging the wine bottle so vigorously was so ethereal in appearance.

First impressions can really be misleading!

Moreover, when they checked her records, it wasn’t her first time in the police station.

Multiple priors!

It was late, and Thea hadn’t returned home, so Aurora Sutton called to check on her.

Thea told her she was with Landon Ford, and upon hearing Landon was there, Aurora didn’t worry anymore. She just reminded Thea to come home early.

Due to overdosing on the drugs, the colleagues were expected to wake up only by the next morning.

After providing her statement with no issues, Landon Ford took Thea home.

By the next morning, the colleagues receiving treatment at the hospital had all woken up.

They had no idea what had happened. They woke up in the hospital, completely startled.

After the police explained, everyone was trembling with fear and filled with dread.

If June Sherman had any malevolent intentions, not one of them could have escaped.

Luckily, Thea was awake.

But not everyone understood the situation. During the explanation, the police also revealed that the target of the incident was Thea Shaw.

Hailey King immediately became upset, sharply questioning the police, "So you’re saying we got into this mess because of Thea?"

The police hesitated, unsure how to explain.

This clearly seemed like holding a grudge.

But Thea was also a victim.

The manager reacted quickly, recalling that Thea had warned June beforehand. It was fortunate that Thea was indeed reliable.

She could never have imagined June Sherman resorting to drugging everyone. Not even the most absurd situation she had experienced was as ridiculous as this.

They weren’t in the same ward, but the manager knew someone would blame Thea because of this incident, so she had to control the situation.

No one expected June Sherman to take action. Besides, the dinner invitation was voluntary, not mandatory. Everyone was in high spirits last night, and there’s no one else to blame if they sought advantage. Now that nothing serious had happened, it was the best outcome.

She quickly reported to the company, granting everyone a day’s leave.

Most people were okay with it. After Rowan Donovan woke up and learned the truth, he called Aurora Sutton and Thea Shaw to make sure they were fine.

Furthermore, June Sherman had already been arrested, so the matter was considered resolved.
