Chapter 262


    At this point, Lc was still trying to shirk responsibility. She did not once consider the damage her


    actions had caused me.


    How could she not understand that if those men had seeded, I would never have been able to see


    the light of day again?


    “You’re a vile and shameless person, Lc!” I was speechless in the face of her


    actions.


    Felix took the phone, pulled her arms off of him, and yed the recording.


    The conversation likely took ce outdoors, given the sound of wind and a street vendor’s distant


    cries. It seemed to take ce in a less bustling residential area. Lc had indeed gone to great lengths


    to plot against me.


    The recording wasn’t long. It was just under ten minutes.


    Lc had paid two thousand dors for those scoundrels to bag and beat me up however they liked, as


    long as they didn’t kill me.


    Those thugs were thrilled at the prospect of getting paid to beat someone up. They promised Lc to


    do a thorough job.


    There was no mention of rape anywhere in the recording. It was unclear whether Lc never mentioned


    it or if the recording had been edited to remove crucial


    parts.


    If it was the former, I might consider letting Lc off after teaching her a lesson. But if it was thetter


    and she had indeed intended to ruin me, there would be nothing else to say. She had to be brought to


    justice.


    As the person responsible for such a vile act, the weight of her crime was no less


    than those who carried out her orders.


    Apologizing was merely the first step in her atonement.


    “It’s not just about forgiveness now. Your actions have crossed the legal line and can’t just be exined


    away. Lc, no matter how outrageous your actions were in the past, I forgave and tolerated you. But


    you must take responsibility for


    today’s Incident.”


    Felix seemed somewhat ashamed as he spoke. His head was lowered, and he was awkwardly


    scraping his feet on the ground. He was clearly unsettled by the


    uncertainty of the situation’s oue.


    Lc was stunned for a moment as she grasped the meaning of Felix’s words. Feeling desperate, she


    threw herself onto the bed and clung to my legs while pleading, “Luna, please forgive me. Felix is so


    good to you, and I was just blinded by jealousy. I never intended to tarnish your innocence.


    “I swear, if I ever harbored such malicious thoughts, let me just be struck by lightning. There’s no deep


    hatred between us. I could never go that far. Trust me, Luna. I’m not that vicious.”


    Lc was adept at adapting to the situation.


    She clung to my legs and shook them. I had injured my knees when I fell earlier, and they started to


    hurt. It was fine when I was still, but now, they were starting to hurt again due to her frantic shaking.


    From the moment Lc and Felix entered, Colin’s expression had been exceptionally cold. Seeing my


    increasingly furrowed brows, his expression turned even colder. It was tinged with irritation.


    I tried to speak, but he stopped me with a look. He held down my shoulder when I tried to sit up. He


    was telling me to focus on recuperating and leave everything to

    him.


    He had promised to seek justice for me.


    Felix and Lc were taken out of the ward by Colin for a talk.


    As for where they went and what was discussed, I knew nothing about it. I didn’t want to know about it


    either. I had simply told Colin that a crime was a crime, and I would not ept any resolution outside of


    thew.


    With Colin handling the situation, I felt at ease.
