There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Genevieve’s voice came through.

“Alright, the police might call you to the station tomorrow to take your statement. Make sure your phone is available.”

“Okay. Thank you for handling this, Genevieve,”

Genevieve sighed and said earnestly, “Nyla, you’re still young. Unlike me, you don’t think about the long- term consequences when making decisions. But sometimes, giving others a chance is also giving yourself a chance.”

“I understand. But I can’t be lenient with everyone. If Mr. Sumner hadn’t been there today, I might have been disfigured.”

Moreover, this issue could affect her job. If she got fired from Park Pharmaceuticals because of this, what pharmaceutical company would hire her in the future? It was not that she wasn’t willing to let Mabel off, but the latter wasn’t willing to let her off.

Genevieve realized she couldn’t persuade Nyla, so she said nothing more and hung up.

Nyla put down her phone, thinking about how Damon had used his suit to protect her from the concentrated sulfuric acid this morning. She frowned. This was the second suit she had ruined for Damon. Should she… buy him two new ones as compensation?

Nyla had always disliked owing people anything. After a few moments of hesitation, she went onto a bespoke clothing website, estimated Damon’s size, and ordered two suits, sending them directly to Prospectus Technology’s CEO’s office.

In Genevieve’s office.

Genevieve looked at Spencer, who was sitting opposite her, and said tiredly, “Mr. Hogg, Ms. Jayston wants to call the police.”

If Spencer hadn’t personally come to oversee this, she might have tried to persuade Nyla further, considering this could affect Mabel’s future. Then again, if they hadn’t found out it was Mabel, Nyla would have taken the fall, and she had almost gotten disfigured. This incident could also change Nyla’s future.

Spencer nodded. “Alright, I understand. I’ll handle this personally. Mr. Sumner said that such an incident also indicates a lack of oversight at Park Pharmaceuticals. He hopes you’ll strengthen employee management in the future.”

“I understand. Thank you, Mr. Hogg.”

After Spencer left, Genevieve picked up the fingerprint comparison report on her desk and sighed. They hadn’t actually found any fingerprints on the labels. They had spread this false information to see if anyone would panic and make a mistake.

The fingerprints collected that afternoon had been compared with those taken when the employees were hired. Everyone else’s matched, except for Mabel’s, which didn’t match at all. If she hadn’t tried to deceive them, they wouldn’t have had any evidence against her. Mabel was indeed too clever for her own

Mabel met Lucia for dinner at an upscale restaurant, having safely navigated the fingerprint collection

that afternoon.

*Lucia, your dad is amazing! He actually got those realistic gloves. When I wore them this afternoon, it felt a bit weird at first, but then it felt just like my own skin,

Lucia’s eyes gleamed with pride. “Of course. This kind of thing is a piece of cake.”

“Now that the issue with Nyla is over, she’ll probably be fired tomorrow morning and won’t appear in front of us again. About my dad’s job…

“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to my dad tonight. It’ll be settled by tomorrow.”

As they were talking, two police officers entered the restaurant and walked straight toward their table. At first, they thought there might be a fugitive in the restaurant. However, when the officers stopped at their table, they turned pale.
