Chapter 79: A Woman with No Past
The moment Florence stepped into the restroom and saw five black-clad figures standing in a circle around a fallen woman, her heart skipped a beat. Panic surged through her veins. But then, her eyes scanned the room frantically... and there, standing a few feet away from the group with her arms crossed and an unfazed expression, was Eleanor.
A loud, audible sigh of relief escaped Florence’s lips. It was so dramatic that even normal humans could have heard it echo across the marble walls.
Eleanor raised an eyebrow. Her lips twitched in amusement.
In that brief moment, she found herself genuinely liking the woman.
Before Eleanor could comment, Florence rushed toward her and spoke, her voice drenched in relief. "Thank God you’re alright! I heard glass shattering and thought... something bad had happened to you."
Eleanor gave her a cool, composed nod. "Florence, wait outside. This matter concerns them... it has nothing to do with us."
Although Florence didn’t fully understand what was going on, she nodded obediently and exited the room without protest.
Once the door clicked shut, Eleanor gave a brief series of instructions.
"Ophelia, hand me the spare dress. Elias, lock the restroom door. The rest of you... check her body for any tracking devices."
Isadora stepped forward and said, "Already checked. Aside from her mobile phone, there are no hidden devices or transmitters."
Eleanor gave a small nod. "Sebastian, you know the drill. Remove the body from any public area. Then begin the investigation. She may have had partners in the crowd. I’m going to change."
