Luke, noticing my confusion, explained, "Before I handed the evidence to the police, Stephen came to me. He said he'd secured crucial evidence before Joey could destroy it. When Joey couldn't find the burner phone she'd used, she panicked. While searching, she learned I'd been to her hospital room and assumed I'd taken it.""At first, when Stephen told me this, I thought it was a coincidence. Now I realize that when she called to invite me to her room, she had already set the stage, placing the evidence right under my nose for me to find.""I had an important call come in, so I answered while entering her room. Seeing she wasn't there, I left. By chance, the evidence fell into Stephen's hands. Knowing the kidnapping case would eventually lead to Joey, and not wanting her to get in trouble, Stephen came to me about the evidence.""Stephen is so devoted to Joey!" I exclaimed, thinking Stephen must owe Joey a huge debt to be so loyal.This incident had lowered my opinion of Stephen.

Caught under my intense gaze, a faint blush spread across his face. He cleared his throat softly, his hand covering his mouth. "If you keep looking at me like that, I might not be able to handle it."Snapping back to reality, I suddenly remembered what I had just done. My face instantly felt hot, and I squirmed uncomfortably, not noticing Luke's reaction or words.I quickly stood up, searching for an excuse to leave."When I suggested this approach, Stephen remained silent. Now it seems he followed my lead. Joey always trusted him, thinking he'd help her unconditionally if she brought up their past. This time, Stephen finally showed some sense."Luke's words stopped me in my tracks."So that's the whole truth. Mr. Walker didn't make any deals with Joey. Once everything's cleared up, there should be no impact on the company."Hanque had just launched a popular new model, and their reputation was on the rise. We couldn't let all of that go to waste."Some things are hard to prove.

I'm finding it hard to keep my emotions in check. It's only a matter of time before I spill what's on my mind.After a prolonged silence from me, Wendy called out, "Honey?""Luke didn't make a deal with Joey," I said.I headed to the pantry and poured myself a glass of water."If Luke didn't make any deal with Joey, then what she's doing is pure slander. By now, Luke must have gathered enough evidence and is prepared to confront this head-on," Wendy theorized, basing her prediction on the assumption that Luke had made a deal with Joey. "Cases that are straightforward with clear facts and of public interest tend to be resolved much quicker. But more than the case itself, I'm curious about what Luke told you yesterday afternoon."I gave Wendy a brief overview of the situation."Classic Luke," Wendy said, impressed. "He's a master at playing along and turning the tables! He's much smarter than that so-called undefeatable lawyer who's just being led around by a woman.""Stephen know

Luke said, "Mr. York hasn't slept all night. He needs a cup of coffee.""Got it."I went to the pantry, made coffee for the two of them, and brought it back to the office.Inside, Luke was reading through documents while Stephen sat silently on the sofa.They clearly had something to discuss. I was about to leave when Luke stopped me, gesturing toward the sofa, indicating for me to sit down. "You're directly involved in this situation. There's no need to hide anything from you."As Luke's employee, I followed his instructions and sat down on the sofa.Luke and Stephen were friends, but Joey was someone Stephen felt indebted to. He was clearly stuck in a difficult position between the two of them.Stephen hesitated before finally speaking up, "Mr. Walker, I know Joey has gone too far with this, but she's still recovering from her car accident and needs rest.""How is her need for rest my problem?" Luke asked, not even looking up from his papers as he signed his name with ease. "

Luke's words left Stephen frozen in place, like a statue."You should have a genuine conversation with your client," Luke advised. "If I'm right, you won't need to work so hard. You can go home and rest earlier.""If she admits to having a mental illness, she'll be sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment. Once she's released, it'll be nearly impossible for her to find work or reintegrate into society. She would never take such a reckless step.""She didn't need a job before, and now Jon's importance is undeniable. She's his sister. Even if she loses guardianship, she won't end up destitute and homeless." Luke closed the file in his hands. "She may have already found a new guardian for Jon without informing you.""They don't have any family.""They may not have close relatives, but there could be distant ones." Luke handed Stephen a fax from the desk. "While she was in the hospital, Joey hired a detective agency and found a distant cousin. She met with this cousin before turni

"He reached his current position at the firm solely based on merit, but his strong moral compass can be seen as a weakness.""Honey, you're mistaken! Someone with excessive moral integrity could never become a highly successful lawyer. Who knows how many times he's ignored his conscience to get where he is today. When I have some free time, I'll dig into his past and give you a report.""Wendy, it seems like you're really interested in Mr. York's affairs.""There's nothing more satisfying than revealing the truth about someone who's been put on a pedestal!" Wendy's twisted sense of satisfaction was something no one else could truly understand."Just be cautious, Wendy. Don't end up getting hurt."When it came to matters unrelated to Joey, Stephen acted swiftly and decisively. He was like a predator, striking with speed and precision. I worried that Joey might cause more trouble."Don't worry, honey. I know how to survive," Wendy said, making it clear that she wouldn't abandon her

That afternoon, as I delivered the meeting materials to Luke's office, I overheard him on the phone with Stephen."I've handed over Joey's phone and SIM card she used during the crime to the police. JL Capital can start their PR campaign now.""I thought as much," Luke replied, his face impassive. He didn't seem smug or proud; it was as if the news was just another mundane detail, barely worth a reaction."She's planned everything out. She doesn't need my help anymore. JL Capital has been silent since Joey published that article - they were waiting for me to submit the evidence I had, weren't they?""That's correct."Joey's supposedly foolproof plan was actually flawed. In addition to the phone, Luke had already collected her DNA from the newspaper wrapped around the cash. Even if Stephen hadn't surrendered the phone, Luke could still prove that he hadn't "destroyed" any evidence.Luke's silence from JL Capital after the incident was his way of giving their friendship one last ch

The comments section under his post turned into a breeding ground for rumors, with people adding all sorts of fabricated details. In the version of events that online users had cooked up, I was painted as a divorced woman scheming to tie myself to Luke, a manipulative figure trying to ruin his relationship with Joey. In their fantasies, Joey’s response was framed as the heroic comeback of a female lead in a drama, with the public eagerly awaiting her grand exit from the police station, ready for her to take down the “scumbag man and the homewrecker” next.The absurdity of these theories gave me a headache. I didn’t even have the energy to defend myself.In their eyes, having been through a failed marriage and having sent Max to prison made me nothing but a calculating villain. They seemed to forget that in that marriage, I was the victim.Luke and Joey had never been in a relationship. Other than that one night at the Waldorf, Luke and I had maintained a professional relationship—no
