Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 562 The Investigation

"Oh? Do you remember who it was?" the officer inquired.

Margot thought carefully, then looked at Zelena and firmly stated, "It was Zelena's assistant, Celeste."

What was meant to happen would happen-it was unavoidable.

All eyes turned toward Zelena.

Zelena forced a smile and asked, "What? Really? Are you sure?"

Margot's tone was unwavering. "Yes, I am sure. Why would I lie in front of the police?"

Having changed her clothes, Celeste entered the room and made her way through the crowd. She quickly surveyed the room, sensing that something was wrong, but maintained a calm facade as she said, "There's a commotion outside!"

Zelena subtly glanced at her, exchanging a look.

"You're here. We were just talking about you."

Celeste played along. "Talking about me? What about?"

Zelena questioned, "Why don't you explain why your clothes match the ones in the video?"

Celeste feigned surprise. "Huh? What video? That can't be true."
