<h4>Chapter 47: Chapter 46: Assistant</h4>


    As soon as the South City Police Department announced the news, theizens went into a frenzy.


    User7654: "See, I told you she wasn’t any good. Now she’s been caught! That woman was really pretending!"


    Beacon Fire Tower: "Serves her right, the malicious and filthy woman from the entertainment industry. I suggest a total ban! My dear Eleanor suffered so many attacks, and now the truth is out."


    All Joy and Goodness: "So Joy Lyle was really that kind of person. I regret supporting her, it makes me sick."


    The one called All Joy and Goodness, Elliana Lyle had seen this person’sments before.


    Now it’s like everyone’s piling on.


    At this moment, she thought of Luna and quickly opened WeChat.


    Moon Detective: "I’m busy, what’s up?"


    Kitty: "I want to investigate the online issue of Joy Lyle’s overpriced contracts."


    Moon Detective: "Sure, 20k, no bargaining."


    Elliana agreed, and Moon continued:


    Moon Detective: "I can’t handle it alone, meet me at Times Square at 6 PM."


    It was just noon now, still early, seems she’d have to wait.


    Ding Ding!


    It was QQ notification Elliana hadn’t heard in a while.


    It was Rupert Zeller.


    Rupert Zeller: "Sis, my aunt just bought me a phone. I went to the hospital and had an abortion, and now my aunt wants me to rest."


    This result didfort Elliana, but she also thought of something worrisome.


    Though Rupert is living at her uncle’s house now, the girl is essentially living under someone else’s roof, which might not be easy going forward.


    Elliana: "Please take good care and rest, it’s important right now. You should be able to continue schooling this year, don’t y too much with your phone during school."


    Rupert Zeller: "Yeah, my uncle is transferring me to another school because he’s scared my previous ssmates will make fun of me."


    Hearing this, Elliana decided to sponsor Rupert’s education, so she asked Rupert about her new school’s name and ss.


    After their chat ended, Elliana found the contact information of Rupert’s new homeroom teacher, Jane Foster, on the education website and had Lana discuss sponsoring Rupert’s tuition and living expenses.


    On the other end, Jane Foster said: "Alright alright, may I ask for your name so I can inform the student’s parents?"


    What’s inconvenient about doing a good deed? Elliana nodded directly, and Lana reported Elliana’s full name.


    She had just transferred the money, and within half an hour, she received a message from Rupert.


    She didn’t expect Teacher Foster to contact so quickly; Rupert’s uncle already knew and came to thank her.


    Very warmly, Elliana also hoped Rupert’s uncle would continue to treat her well.


    ...


    PM


    Times Square.


    A graceful music coffee shop, a favorite ce for girls.


    But most whoe here are couples.


    Elliana sat by the window waiting for Luna, the half-sunken sun cast warmth upon her fair, smooth face.


    The white dress flowed like water, her delicate hands were captivating even as she held a ss of water.


    She had already been waiting here for nearly half an hour, Luna still hadn’t shown up, but she was recognized and signed several autographs.


    Some even asked about Joy Lyle’s situation...


    "Sorry! I’mte!" Luna looked stylish today, in Han elements with a Lolita style, and still sucking on a lollipop.


    The whole demeanor radiated cuteness; no other word seemed fitting.


    Seeing Luna sit down, Elliana slowly spoke: "You’re here."


    Luna paused, then curiously said: "What on earth is wrong with your voice? Sounds like a duck, caught a cold?"


    ... Elliana neither denied nor admitted, she went straight to the point: "Let me tell you the situation. The official Rnd and Art Elegance agreements are indeed 3 million, but this mysterious overpriced contract rmed the police. Someone anonymously reported, and now Joy Lyle has been detained."


    "That’s tricky. We need to find the actual overpriced contract’s original. How about this? Youe with me to find the specific contract!" Luna said easily, looking quite rxed.


    Elliana asked: "How do we find it?"


    "Of course, go to Rnd’spany, am I supposed to conjure it up for you?" Luna’s words were yful today.


    ...


    ―――North City Rnd Agency Limited Branch.


    The two arrived at Rnd branch entrance. ess was restricted.


    Luna nced around, said: "Forget it, such buildings don’t have anything substantial."


    Hence Luna changed her n, deciding to go to Art Elegance culture mediapany.


    Elliana tried not to speak if possible, she followed whatever Luna said.


    Half an hourter.


    They arrived below Art Elegance Culture Media headquarters.


    Several guards stood watch at the entrance, it seemed like work hadn’t ended yet.


    After observing the area thoroughly, Luna said: "Okay, apany me for some barbecue, we’lle backter."


    ...


    Elliana thought Luna seemed like a thief scouting the spot, but she was eager to find the evidence.


    They went to the barbecue ce Luna named, sitting face to face, Luna considerately ordered her a dish of iced sugar stewed pear.


    Luna ate heartily, tempting her a bit, but she dared not swallow food.


    "Luna, what have you been busy withtely?" Elliana held the spoon, crushing the pear flesh.


    Chewing a mouthful of meat, Luna replied: "It’s an extramarital affair, let me tell you, if I confirm it, a major figure in North City might be in big trouble!"


    "What do you mean by that?" Elliana suddenly grew curious.


    "Most extramarital affairs involve bigamy crime. Think about it, he’s wealthy and influential, but his wife isn’t a pushover either." Luna stopped at this.


    Elliana somewhat envied Luna’s life, how to say it, quite thrilling!


    Half jokingly and half seriously said: "Luna, take me along for case investigations, okay?"


    "Take you? You want to join us?" Luna looked at her with a somewhat suspicious gaze.


    Elliana followed up: "Can I?"


    "Well..." Luna hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have some spark in her eyes, like a weasel.


    "Alright! Be my assistant from now on, I won’t have to handle trivial stuff, I’ll give you a 9.8% discount on your matters from now on."


    It sounded like a supermarket promotion, but could save some money; Elliana dly epted.


    ―――North City Melody Harmony Group Branch.


    Knock, knock knock.


    "President, it’s Raymond Wood."


    "Come in."


    Hearing the response inside, Raymond Wood entered, "President, Lana called saying Miss Lyle went out and hasn’t returned to the hotel."


    "Where did she go?" Norman Bet asked sternly, feeling helpless. Why did his little girl always love running around?


    He didn’t stop his little girl’s lively free spirit, but sometimes wished he could tether her beside him.


    Raymond quickly replied: "Near the Art Elegance Culture Mediapany’s barbecue restaurant, with that girl fromst time."


    "Keep an eye, don’t let anything happen."


    Norman Bet’s tone was unreadable, Raymond also breathed a sigh of relief, handed over several blue folders, "President, please review these documents, also, I’ve arranged tomorrow’s meeting schedule for you."


    "Okay, leave them."
