Chapter 864
Seeing Thomas’s lack of response, a flicker of displeasure rippled through Johanna’s heart. She felt Thomas was deliberately distancing himself from her in Sharon’s presence.
It was always the same: whenever Sharon appeared, her importance fell a step behind.
Sharon averted her gaze and asked, “Have they caught the attacker?”
Rick’s expression darkened. “No. Johanna rushed to get Victoria to the hospital. There was no time to chase the culprit.”
At that moment, Lex spoke.
“By the time I sent people to search, the attacker had already vanished.”
His eyes locked onto Sharon’s, his meaning sharp as a blade.
“Even the surveillance cameras caught nothing. Someone deliberately wiped away the trail.”
Sharon’s brows furrowed. “What exactly are you implying?”
A ghost of a smile curved Lex’s thin lips. “Sharon, Victoria was attacked during your concert. Don’t you think the timing is… suspicious?”
Sharon met his stare without flinching. “Lex, are you trying to pin Victoria’s injury on me?”
“You misunderstand.” Lex’s smile lingered, but it never reached his eyes. “I only find it curious. Surveillance in other areas being destroyed, fine-but the cameras at the very entrance of your concert? Also gone.
“In Amstern City, aside from Carter and Xavier, who else has the power to pull that off? Not even I, nor Richard, could manage it so cleanly.”
The Kalen, Malcolm, and Walton families held little influence in Zachemaine. Their wealth and power surpassed most, yet even they had to tread carefully in Carter’s domain.
