Cecelia had been taken to the police station
Wendy s face turned pale as she hung up the phone She turned to Halsey Halsey I need togo to the police station

At the police station Wendy and Halsey found Cecelia locked in a holding cell Wendy grasped Cecelia scold hands Cecelia what happened Why are you here
Cecelia s face was pale and she looked utterly confused Wendy this is all connected to that celebrity Luna Fisher
Cecelia explained what had happened

Wendy s clear thoughtful gaze flickered for a moment asifa realization crossed her mind She gently reassured Cecelia Don t worry I ll go speak to Luna As soon as she rescinds her statement you ll be free
Wendy and Halsey headed to the hospital where Halsey spoke up Wendy do you think Luna set Cecelia up It doesn t make sense Cecelia is your best friend after all

Luna didn t even look at the assistant as she sharply said didn task you to get it
The assistant froze awkwardly standing still
Luna then turned her gaze to Wendy and it was clear what he wanted She expected Wendy to get the water Halsey opened her mouth to say something but Wendy raised a hand to stop her I ll get it
Wendy went to the side and poured a glass of water before handing it to Luna
Luna smiled slyly Thankyou Wendy
But as Luna reached for the cup her expression suddenly changed With a quick motion she knocked the cup out of Wendy shand The water s so hot Are you trying to burn me
The water splashed all over Wendy s hands and clothes
