At John’s retort, Anne was speechless. In the end, she slammed her fork on the table and shouted, "John Young, whose side are you on? Why do you keep speaking up for Joshua?”
John sighed and said, "I only told you all these because I don't want your friend to be tricked.” He glanced at Luna's troubled expression and hesitated for a long time before he finally opened his mouth and said, "I'm so certain that Joshua did all these the day Fiona became chief designer because...because of that woman, Charmaine Ross. My colleague is her cousin, he's her only family here in Banyan City.
"Two weeks ago, when Charmaine was fired, she did receive a sum of money requesting her to leave the city. Back then, my colleague asked me to drive her out of the city."
Hearing John’s words, Luna raised her head unconsciously. She bit her lip. "Then what happened?"
"Then...” John sighed, "I remember clearly, that day, after the news of you bullying Fiona was exposed online, someone contacted my colleague, wanting to know Charmaine’s whereabouts. Back then, my colleague even wanted to ask me to bring her back to the city, but later on, the person said they could drive, my colleague just needed to show them the way, so I didn't go."
Luna bit her lip unconsciously, under the table, her hands knitted together tightly.
"So... Were they looking for her in the morning or at night?"
"In the afternoon," John answered firmly. "My colleague received the call after we had lunch together, I remember clearly."
Luna gritted her teeth and did not say a single word. If her memory served her right... A few days ago, when the news that she was bullying Fiona was exposed online, it was around 11 a m. in the morning. The video of her 'bullying' Charmaine two weeks ago was also included in the big reveal. And when Joshua asked her to give up the position of chief designer...
It was in the evening.
That day he said that replacing her with Fiona was the result of the discussion between him and President Calvin, he even said he would help her think of another way. Back then, she was filled with anger, she did not take his words seriously at all...
But now...
If what he said was true, he only sent the evidence he collected to Bonnie so Fiona would not spend too much time on work...
