Eula naturally detected the sarcasm in Deanna's words. Her eyes darkened, but she still refused to admit anything. "It is possible that one of my subordinates acted without my knowledge. Since Miss Deanna insists on an explanation, I will certainly provide one that satisfies you."
She paused, then continued, "Please tell me which of my subordinates did this behind my back."
Deanna heard this and locked eyes with Eula for a few seconds before suddenly smiling.
"It seems, Miss Eula, that you want to settle this privately. Unfortunately, I have no such intention. Whatever you have to say, you can tell the police."
"You are playing me!"
Eula immediately narrowed her eyes, glaring dangerously at Deanna.
Deanna spread her hands and said, "How am I playing you? I told you from the beginning that I called the police."
Eula was momentarily speechless.
After a while, she said, "Fine, since you called the police, we have nothing more to discuss. Please leave."
She made a gesture indicating for Deanna to leave.
However, Deanna remained seated on the sofa, her expression suddenly becoming stern.
"Eula, I know you care about Lance and wish for me to disappear from his world. But let me tell you, I don't know what kind of person I was before, but now I have a bad temper and can't stand any threats. Otherwise, I will repay them a hundredfold."
As she finished speaking, voices could be heard from outside the room. "Police business, take us to your boss."
Hearing this, Deanna stood up from the sofa. "The police are here. Take care of yourself."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the police arrived at the door.
They were surprised to see Deanna.
"Miss Deanna, you're here too."
"Yes, I had some things to clarify with this foreign lady. Now that I'm done, I'm ready to leave."
Deanna responded gracefully.
The police nodded.
Just like that, Deanna quickly left the hotel with her people.
However, she did not leave immediately but sat in her car, watching the hotel entrance.
After a while, she saw Eula come out with the police and get into a police car.
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Deanna's face. Without turning her head, she instructed Nightingale beside her, "Have someone keep an eye on the police station and inform me immediately if there's any news."
"Miss, I think that woman won't be in any real trouble. Do we really need to do nothing?"
Nightingale frowned and looked over in confusion.
Hearing this, Deanna finally withdrew her gaze and said softly, "On the surface, she won't be in any trouble. But her official record will now have a file at the police station. If anything happens in the future, who knows what might happen."
Indeed, as Deanna said.
Because Eula insisted she was unaware and her subordinate admitted they acted on their own to avenge their boss by hiring someone to hit Deanna, Eula was only recorded at the police station and released an hour later.
However, she left with an extremely unpleasant expression.
Although she didn't suffer any substantial loss this time, having a record at the police station meant that if anything happened in the future, she could be deported.
Even being an investor in a foreign enterprise wouldn't help!
Despite her anger, Eula didn't forget her main task.
On the way back, she asked Avery beside her, "How is the investigation going?"
"It's clear now. Lance had no reaction to this incident. The people Deanna brought were not Lance's but borrowed from her mentor."
Avery reported his findings truthfully.
Eula frowned and pondered, "So Lance really doesn't care about Deanna anymore?"
Landon had the same thought.
He had also heard about Deanna's incident yesterday and had been keeping an eye on it.
The reason he didn't go to Deanna immediately was that he was still grounded by his father.
Yes, he was under house arrest.
The next two days were calm.
Deanna spent her time either receiving treatment from her mentor every three days or running between the hospital and her company.
A week passed quickly.
The online buzz about Deanna and Lance's breakup gradually subsided.
That day, when Deanna left her company, she saw Landon standing by his car with a bouquet of red roses.
Seeing him, Deanna was momentarily stunned and felt a headache coming on. She wondered if it was too late to go back to the company.
"Deanna."
Landon didn't know what Deanna was thinking and walked over with a charming smile.
Seeing this, Deanna knew it was too late to return to the company.
She put on a polite smile and said, "What brings you here?"
"I should have come earlier, but I've been grounded by my dad recently. How have you been? Let's have dinner tonight."
Landon looked at her with concern and handed her the roses. "These are for you!"
