Always keepin the loop, alright?" Leah pressed her lips together, a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "I understand. Don't worry. I'll listen to you." Satisfied, Andromache gave a few more pieces of advice before ending the call.
Soon, the reporters settled into their seats, and it was Leah's turn to speak.
"First, I want to thank the media for their attention and concern regarding this incident," Leah began, her voice calm and measured. "I'm sorry we meet under such circumstances, but I promise to provide a full explanation of the false rumors and accusations that have been circulating." Her demeanor was poised, a gentle smile gracing her lips, as always.
"From the moment I becaware of the situation, I have been investigating to understand the full story. It's undeniable that Miss Holland's accident was partly caused by my assistant, Luna Potter. But her actions were her own, and no one else directed her. After the incident, I personally apologized to Miss Holland and sought her forgiveness. I have video evidence to prove my sincerity." "I've consulted the most esteemed orthopedic specialists in the country, and they have confirmed that Miss Holland's foot injury is minor. There is no lasting damage whatsoever. So, I fail to understand where these absurd rumors of a so-called disability originated. These baseless accusations have severely disrupted my life and causedgreat distress. Therefore, I wish to make it absolutely clear-I will not let this slander go unanswered. I will pursue those responsible for spreading these falsehoods to the very end. As for my former assistant, Luna Potter, my company will terminate her employment, effective immediately, and reclaim all previously paid wages. She will never be rehired." With that, Leah took a step back, pressed a hand to her chest, and bowed deeply before the cameras and the crowd. It was the perfect act of grace and dignity.

Leah repeatedly insisted that Luna acted alone, that no one else had been involved. But murder, or even assault, was never without motive. Luna and Corrine were nothing more than strangers who had crossed paths once. Why would Luna suddenly take it upon herself to harm Corrine?
And if her actions were supposedly in defense of Leah... that explanation of Latexplanation е seemed even more implausible.
Perhaps the truth wasn't what Leah claimed. Perhaps, as the online m rumors suggested, Luna had been carrying an unspoken burden and had taken the fall for someone else.
