Aveline hurriedly ate a few bites of her meal before heading to Selena's place.

As she reached the floor, she saw Selena's apartment door open with two police officers standing at the entrance. Selena was talking to them.

"Selena," Aveline called out as she walked over.

Selena looked at her and immediately asked, "Ave, when you were staying here, did anyone come in? Were you hurt?"

The two officers also turned their attention to her.

Aveline replied, "No one came in while I was staying here."

Selena said, "Then it must have happened after you moved out."

Aveline nodded. "It should have been last night. I was here the day before to pack my things."

The police checked the surveillance around the building but found nothing suspicious.

In the end, the matter had to be dropped.

Selena pulled Aveline inside. "This is such bad luck. I guess I'll have to move."

Aveline said, "I rented an apartment before, but I'm not staying there now. You can move in."

Selena asked curiously, "Why did you rent a place?"

Aveline explained the situation to her.

After listening, Selena touched her chin, her face showing a contemplative expression.

"You mean, someone deliberately sent Mr. Zane photos of his son being abused, but they didn't put his son in jail."

"Yes, I've been puzzled about that. I've thought about it a lot but can't figure out why. Aveline nodded.

Selena said, "It is strange. If they didn't intend to release Mr. Zane's son, why send those photos?"

Aveline sighed. "Well, it's no use overthinking it. The matter is done, and Mr. Zane made his choice. As an outsider, I shouldn't say much.

"Yeah..."

Selena sighed too.

Then she asked, "What's going on with you?"

Aveline didn't answer and instead asked, "Were you hurt? Are you okay now?"

Selena nodded. "I'm fine now. Look what I brought for you-aPublished by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

protective charm. Keep it in your bag, and you won't encounter those troubling things anymore."

She handed Aveline a beautifully packaged charm.

Aveline accepted it. "Thanks, babe."

Selena waved it off. "No need to thank me. Do you have plans today? If not, let's go out for a meal. I haven't eaten since I got back this morning!" "Sure, let's go eat," Aveline agreed with a nod.

The two of them tidied up a bit and then headed out.

Seeing a mall, Selena pulled Aveline inside.

Eating could wait-shopping was more important! After being in the

hospital for so long, she hadn't had a proper outing and was itching to shop.

Selena's mood lifted significantly just being around Aveline.

They entered a clothing store, and Selena immediately spotted a dress. She picked it up and held it against Aveline.

"Ave, this would look amazing on you. Try it on."

Aveline glanced at the dress and then nodded, reaching to take it.

But a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the dress away.

"Moon, you should try this on. It would look stunning on you."

Seeing someone take the dress away, Selena's face darkened. She stepped forward and snapped, "Hey, have some decency! How could you just snatch things from others like that?"

A woman sat on the sofa, bundled up in a hat, mask, and sunglasses. The girl who had taken the dress wore a hat as well and initially looked at the woman with a fawning expression. Hearing Selena's words, she glared at her fiercely. "This dress is so expensive. Can you even afford it?"
