Chapter 88: Who knows, right?
Two days later...
"Gosh. I can’t believe some trashes will beat up a man who is minding his own business." Elise grumbled, clicking her mouse angrily. "This world had truly become a scary one."
She pouted as the invisible clouds hovering over her head turned darker. Fil, whose desk was beside Elise’s, slid her eyes into the corner.
"This is frustrating!" she expressed. "Whoever did this to Kenzo should be charged with attempted murder."
When Elise couldn’t take it anymore, she turned to Fil. "Fil, should we help with the investigation?"
"Help with the investigation? Like doing some legwork, check the CCTV recording that the police had already checked? And then take our work home since we couldn’t do it because of this extracurricular activity?" Fil replied innocently. "Sounds fun. Let’s do it."
"Never mind." Elise pouted, clicking her tongue in irritation. "I just feel really bad for Kenzo. How can some random guy beat him while on his way to the convenience store?"
Fil pressed her lips into a thin line. Just this morning, their boss, Olivia, disclosed to them what truly happened to Kenzo. Everyone knew Kenzo couldn’t come to work because of a terrible incident. Olivia only told Fil more details earlier because she trusted Fil, and Fil was the leader of the Solana Project. In other words, she had the right to know.
But Elise and everyone only heard this detail today.
Unfortunately, the details they knew were nothing like the truth. For Fil, Kenzo made a decision not to press charges. To be honest, she already guessed Kenzo still lied to her. He didn’t tell his brother what truly happened to him. If Kenzo did, she knew if a settlement was proceeding.
"I also feel bad for Kenzo, but I’m sure this is a lesson learned for him," Fil offered Elise a reassuring smile. "His injuries aren’t that bad."
