CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 128: SOMETHING HAPPENED

"Alright, Sister Phoebe, I’ll come to the airport to pick you up tomorrow morning."

A calm and gentle voice came through the phone: "Okay, it’s been quite cold in the mornings lately. If you’re coming to pick me up, dress warmly so you don’t catch a cold."

"Mm, got it."

"Okay, I need to go to the pet shop to board the cat, you can hang up."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, she barely let out a sigh of relief, always feeling sorry for Phoebe Lyle. She knew very well that John Shaw was a sore spot for Sister Phoebe, yet she still had to ask Sister Phoebe for help.

Sister Phoebe didn’t hesitate at all after hearing her reasons, which made her feel even more guilty. In the past life, she always thought Sister Phoebe was a rather cold person, but that wasn’t really the case.

Sister Phoebe had never been cold towards her.

Just as she was thinking, the ringing of the phone suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

She looked and saw it was from Luna.

"Hello, Luna, what’s up?"

"I got arrested by the police, at the city police station. Come bail me out."

Beep beep beep―――.

Looking at the phone that was abruptly hung up, Elliana Lyle was momentarily at a loss, the speed of hanging up the call was just too fast.

She wasn’t surprised that Luna got caught, just didn’t know what she did to get arrested.

But Luna hung up so quickly, she was really afraid that something big had happened. After thinking about it, she felt it was best to give Galen Collins a call.

"Hello, Galen..."

―――City Police Station.

An office.

"How old are you? What’s your name?"

Faced with the questioning of a young policeman, Luna didn’t want to say a word.

Beside her stood an angry security guard, with a dark complexion, eyes as large as copper bells glaring at her fiercely.

Additionally, there was a gaunt middle-aged man, the manager of Nightdream Hotel, also looking furious.

"At such a young age and not knowing better, if you were my daughter, I’d beat you to death..." The security uncle pointed at her head and scolded, about to poke her head with his hand.

The young policeman hurriedly stopped the security guard’s action, sternly saying, "This is the police station, watch it!"

The security guard quieted down a bit, cautiously glancing at the hotel manager. He knew leaving his post was a big responsibility, and not only might he get penalized, but he could also potentially lose his job.

So he quickly said, "I just went to the bathroom for a moment..."

Knock knock!

The group looked towards the door, it was a white-clad officer, Galen Collins. He had just received a call from Elliana Lyle, so he came to take a look.

The young policeman immediately stood up: "Captain Collins."

"Mm," Galen nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then walked in, greeting the young policeman, "Lewis, your team leader is calling you, you should go, I’ll handle it."

"Alright, then I’ll leave this to Captain Collins." After the young policeman left, Galen began to inquire about the situation, looking to the three of them and starting to question Luna.

"Tell me, what’s going on?"

Before Luna could speak, the security guard immediately shouted out loudly, "Oh officer, she broke into our hotel’s monitor room to steal things, and even turned off our hotel’s surveillance for a while! Who knows how much she stole during that time! And when I caught her, I saw her putting things in her pockets, we demand a body search."

Luna immediately got angry upon hearing that: "Who said I stole something? I just entered the wrong room by accident. Do you have any evidence to prove I stole something? What do you mean I turned off the surveillance, maybe your surveillance was originally broken, what does it have to do with me?"

"You!" The security guard was rendered speechless for a moment, because there was indeed no surveillance at the entrance of the monitor room, he didn’t know how this little girl managed to sneak in, so he could only look at the hotel manager for help.

The hotel manager wasn’t easy to talk to either, immediately saying angrily, "We caught you in the monitor room, and you still deny it! Are you daring enough to take out what’s in your pockets and show us?"

"Why should I show you?" Luna turned her head angrily, having never been falsely accused of theft before in her life!

At this moment, the hotel manager’s phone rang.

"Hello, was there anything missing from the hotel?"

With the speaker on, the voice on the other end was loud, "Nothing is missing."

Hearing this, the hotel manager was a bit incredulous, but since nothing was reported missing in the hotel, he couldn’t demand a search. Maybe this young lady did indeed just enter the wrong room.

And most of their surveillance cameras were originally broken to facilitate business, with the only functioning one being in the second-floor corridor.

Luna let out a cold snort and said, "I told you I didn’t steal anything. You scared me, and in turn, should compensate me for emotional distress."

Upon hearing this, the manager was momentarily angered, but he couldn’t lash out in front of the police, so he lowered his stance and smiled, "Young lady, how about we call this even, and on behalf of our hotel, I apologize to you."

...

After the people from Nightdream Hotel left, Galen Collins finally turned serious, warning Luna: "In this country, put away the ways you have abroad."

He knew very well what status Luna had, and in fact, he had some acquaintance with Owen Sutton, but Luna bringing her foreign habits here wouldn’t work.

"Got it, can I leave now?"

Seeing Luna’s indifferent attitude, Galen said coldly, "What I’m telling you is a serious matter! Whatever you do abroad is not my concern, but when you’re in this country, in South City!"

Luna nodded, looked him in the eye, and said seriously, "I understand." In the future, I’ll just avoid you.

"Mm, Miss Elliana will come to pick you up later, wait here, I have more work to do."

"Mm, okay."

...

After about ten minutes, Elliana Lyle hurriedly arrived at the police station. Seeing Luna calmly drinking tea while sitting on a chair, her previously tense emotions finally calmed down.

"Oh dear, what did you do to get yourself brought in here?"

"It’s a long story, I’ll tell you afterwards." Luna stood up and took over the handle that Lana was pushing, "Let me."

―――Bennett Family Villa.

Luna cut off the beginning part, starting to explain to Elliana about the hotel incident...

"Hello sir, I’m room service."

When George Lyle came out of the shower, Luna had already run to the door. Originally, she could have just left by opening the door, but that would easily arouse George’s suspicion, so she casually pulled the cart parked in the hallway inside, pretending she was coming in from outside.

However, George was very angry about someone entering uninvited, immediately roaring, "Who allowed you to come in?"

Luna quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, sir, I’ll leave right away."

She closed the door and let out a breath, then pushed the cart and walked out.

She needed to quickly retrieve the item she placed in the hotel’s monitor room.

When she arrived, she had already observed that this themed hotel had very few guests during the day, so there was no guard in the monitor room, but she also discovered that most of the cameras in the monitor room were broken, except for one in the second-floor corridor.

And George had booked a room on the second floor.

Arriving on the first floor, she saw several receptionists napping in the lobby, so she tiptoed to the monitor room.

Just as she retrieved her item, someone shouted behind her, "How did you get in here? Thief!"

...

Luna shrugged, indicating she had finished her story.
