Chapter 45: Who?

"Why even think about it?" replied Ruby with a soft laugh.

"Aren't you going to say it?"

"At least I want to keep you curious?"

"..."

"Looks like you really want to make enemies with me."

"Come on, everyone needs a secret that needs to be hidden. If you know, it's no longer a secret."

"Were you helped by my secretary?" Miya finally asked straight to the point.

Herself being called out, Kim Hana was actually shedding tears to the point of sobbing.

Maybe she was sad that her boss was so suspicious of her.

However, it was not a wrong suspicion. Indeed, she is the biggest suspect here.

Miya asked, maybe she just wanted to make sure that it wasn't her.

"What do you think?" Ruby clearly didn't plan to answer, she was asking in a thought-provoking way.

With an answer like that, it could be that she was deliberately keeping the suspicion completely on Kim Hana so that Miya couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely make you say it," Miya replied in a very cold tone.

After saying that, she disconnected the phone, looking like she didn't want to talk anymore.

She then sat down with a sigh, resting her back on the sofa with her eyes almost closed.

Oliver was silent, thinking to himself while occasionally glancing at Kim Hana.

Miya probably didn't want to accuse and suspect the woman constantly, but he thought he needed stronger evidence before stopping suspecting her.

After a moment's thought, he approached her.

"Follow me to my room," she told him before continuing his steps to his room.

The sobbing Kim Hana hesitantly followed him. This was because she didn't want to leave Miya's side.

However, Miya looked at her again.

"Follow him!"

Even Miya asked her to follow Oliver, she couldn't say anything else, could only follow the young man to his room.

The moment she stepped in, Oliver was already standing beside the open door, waiting for her to enter.

She was actually walking while keeping her head down, so it was like she didn't see anything in front of her.

Continuing to walk, she finally passed the door, only to realize when she heard the sound of it being closed by Oliver.

She quickly turned towards him.

"Oliver, I really don't know anything," she said, continuing to cry.

Without Miya around, she could talk to him easily.

Unfortunately, now she really looked like a little girl who made a big mistake, an attitude that certainly didn't match her age.

Fortunately she was pretty so she gave off a cute impression while crying like that. If she wasn't pretty, people would probably find her annoying.

"How are you going to make me believe it?" Oliver replied.

"I?" Kim Hana was naturally confused when he asked her to convince him.

After all, this was something she couldn't prove.

"Don't think crying can disprove this. Even most criminals can easily cry when they are caught, trying to trick the police with their cries. I can't help but consider that your crying is part of the pretense," Oliver continued.

"I-I, I don't know," Kim Hana replied in a sobbing tone.

"I can't prove it wasn't me, but please believe me. You can ask me to do anything to prove my loyalty to the boss. If you ever get the Slave Seal, you can use it on me."

Her crying only became more uncontrollable when she said that, especially when she talked about the Slave Seal.

In fact, it was once the talk of the whole world when some constellation told people on earth about it.

It was said that it was an item that if you obtained and attached it to someone's body, that person would forever have to obey you and could not betray you.

If that person disobeyed, the seal would attack his body, making him suffer greatly.

When that was heard by the government, all the governments of all countries immediately agreed to make a law banning the use of Slave Seals. Anyone who used it was considered to have committed a grave violation of the law.

At least that was the rule although no one was sure it could be enforced. There are even many fake accounts that make offers to buy Slave Seals at high prices to anyone who finds them.

Kim Hana seems to be frustrated and desperate, unable to think of any more ways to prove her innocence.

Unfortunately, even for Oliver, there was no really convincing way to find out if Kim Hana was really the perpetrator.

If it was indeed done by her, it could only be said that she was very good at acting.

"Why so sad?" he said with a faint smile, then pinched her cheeks that were slightly puffed up from crying.

The woman was surprised by his sudden action. She spontaneously stepped back while her expression froze with open lips.

Why was he who originally looked scary suddenly being casual to her? Even seemed to be teasing her.

"Do you trust me?" She asked in a low voice.

"I just can't believe a woman like you would dare betray us," Oliver replied.

What he needed to do now was to rectify the situation.

There was no other way than to continue watching Kim Hana's movements.

The woman seemed happy to hear his answer even though it seemed like he was saying that she was a coward.

"I definitely wouldn't dare," she said.

"I know, and you're not the only one who might be a suspect. After all, there's still me and my aunt who might help that woman escape," Oliver replied.

He laughed softly when he said that, but then wondered, 'could it have been done by aunt?'

This kind of thought was of course so ridiculous that he really wanted to laugh harder.

However, there was no limit to speculation. It could have been done by him for who knows what motive. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Anyway, you can go," he said and opened the door, allowing her to exit his room.

Now he wanted to discuss in the group first. Maybe he could get some ideas.

Kim Hana obviously doesn't take his words seriously when he talks about himself and his aunt.

Being let out of the room, she was a little disappointed as she was rather comfortable alone with him there.

However, she had to see Miya first, wanting to convince her that it wasn't her.
