The moment the manager spoke, everyone else fell silent.

Thea Shaw offended June Sherman, and suddenly, June Sherman’s company invited everyone to dinner.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence knew it might be a trap, yet everyone went. Why was that?

Wasn’t it because they thought it was just a meal? At the time, someone even thought that since it was Thea Shaw who offended them, it had nothing to do with them.

Even if something were to happen, it would be aimed at Thea Shaw, what did it have to do with them?

Now that June Sherman is being investigated, the manager realizes who the real victor is, naturally speaking up for Thea Shaw. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

And solving someone like June Sherman could be considered addressing a social issue.

In any case, it was a good thing.

What kind of person was June Sherman? As a manager, she knew a little about her.

"Get back to work!"

The manager tossed out the words and returned to her office.

Thea Shaw calmly sat back in her seat, and Aurora Sutton patted her head: "Don’t be upset."

Thea Shaw raised an eyebrow: "I’m not."

This kind of thing isn’t worth getting upset over.

After so many years, she’s seen all kinds of people and has gotten used to it.

Rowan Donovan leaned over and whispered: "That June Sherman is really rotten, isn’t she?"

When she woke up yesterday and found out it was June Sherman, she couldn’t believe it.

Dousing with water was such a minor issue—did it really have to escalate to such maliciousness?

Drugging everyone unconscious, and then planning to take Thea Shaw away—was it just a simple lesson for her?

Certainly not, even Rowan Donovan understood this.

If Thea Shaw hadn’t prepared herself, Rowan would almost be sure that Thea Shaw would have faced a fate even more tragic than Vivian Doyle’s.

"She hasn’t been decent for a day or two."

Thea Shaw shook her head: "Right now, June Sherman isn’t the main issue."

June Sherman is completely beyond salvation. With all the ruckus last night, and Landon Ford himself showing up, if June Sherman could still be saved by Alex Sherman, then Landon Ford might as well not call himself a Ford Family member.

Now Alex Sherman is also under investigation, and the evidence is enough for his complete downfall. Now it’s a matter of whether the people behind him will reveal themselves to protect Alex Sherman.

The person could obscure Alex Sherman’s demeanor, making him seem almost like a regular person; they indeed have some skills.

Nobody expected such people to be involved from behind. Thea Shaw figured she and the other party must have already formed a grudge.

Let’s see if the other party will clash with Thea Shaw.

If they won’t, then Alex Sherman is certainly doomed.

The news Landon Ford brought wasn’t surprising to Thea Shaw: "The investigation is proceeding smoothly. The police, while viewing the nightclub footage, naturally stumbled upon it. Alex Sherman confessed to everything, yet took the blame entirely upon himself, not implicating anyone else."

In other words, he’s been abandoned; those behind him aren’t willing to confront Thea Shaw and her allies.

Thea Shaw said: "Those nightclub videos are no small matter. They involve many people, and it’s impossible for Alex Sherman to cover everything alone."

"Exactly." Landon Ford snorted with a laugh: "Their methods are ruthless; those involved will basically undergo investigation, but the investigative team hasn’t met any obstacles. It seems they’ve opted to sacrifice the pawn to protect the king, cutting off their own well-fed tail."

Thea Shaw furrowed her brows: "It’s troublesome that the people behind aren’t revealing themselves."

She knew someone was behind Alex Sherman, but she couldn’t find a person without any information at all.

She didn’t even know if the other party was male or female.

Landon Ford chuckled lightly: "Have you forgotten that this is the modern world after all the fortune-telling? I’m investigating all the forces Alex Sherman has been in contact with; there will always be traces left behind."
