The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 148

Diana’s pov

The next day.

Unlike usual, I didn’t rush to the lab.

Remembering today’s plan, I sat in front of the vanity mirror, carefully applying lipstick.

My maid looked at me in surprise, “Miss, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you dress up like this.”

I paused with the lipstick in hand.

Since being coerced by William, most of my time had been devoted to the lab.

I seldom came home.

Even when I did, it was just to crash into bed, waking up the next day with dark circles under my eyes to head back to the lab.

Anyway, with masks and protective suits, makeup seemed like a waste of time.

But today was different.

“Is everything ready?” I asked the maid.

She nodded, “Yes.”

Standing up from the chair, I looked at myself in the mirror.

With delicate makeup, curly hair, and a tailored navy blue professional suit, I perfectly embodied my Dark Moon Pack princess identity.

I couldn’t help but anticipate how Fisher, usually prone to flattery, would react when he saw me like t

Like this. Fiddling with the earrings worth a cruise ship, I whispered, “Let’s go.”

“No…no! Let me go!”

As I approached Fisher’s office door, I heard a woman’s panicked screams and the sounds of struggle from inside.

Then, Fisher’s sleazy laughter followed.

“Don’t struggle, come with me, and I promise you’ll thrive in the lab. But if you resist…”

Smack!

A loud slap echoed.

Fisher menacingly warned, “I’ll keep hitting until you stop resisting.”

The woman started sobbing

I hadn’t realized Fisher had become so brazen. I frowned and gestured to a bodyguard walking beside

1. me.

The bodyguard immediately understood my signal.

With a swift kick, the office door creaked twice and slammed heavily onto the floor, revealing an appalling scene inside-

Fisher, disheveled, was pinning a young female researcher on the sofa, his hands shamelessly tearing at her clothes.

The fallen door made a loud noise.

Startled, Fisher abruptly lifted his head from the researcher’s body, his eyes wide with shock.

“Who…who are you? Who let you in? Where are the security guards? Security!”

Fisher hastily pulled up his pants and panicked, shouting.

However, I had already instructed the security guards at the lab entrance not to let anyone in no matter what happened.

Fisher’s cries were in vain..

“Hold him down,” I told the bodyguard.

Then, I took off my suit jacket and walked toward the female researcher

Her clothes were already torn, and she was curled up on the sofa, trembling with fear from the recent panic.

I draped the clothes over the researcher’s shoulders and tidied her disheveled hair.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you get revenge.”

I smiled gently at the researcher.

Then, I turned slowly, my gaze soft until it met Fisher’s repulsive face, at which moment it turned as cold as ice.

He was being restrained by two bodyguards, facing downwards on the floor, with only… his mouth free

to move.

“Let me go! Damn it, do you know who I am? I’m with William! If you dare lay a finger on me, I’ll have William kill all of you!”

“William?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I raised an eyebrow, scoffing lightly, and casually picked up a desk lamp from Fisher’s desk, weighing it in my hand.

“Yes, William!” Fisher thought invoking William’s name would intimidate me, continuing arrogantly, “If you’re smart, you’ll release me now and apologize to me on your knees. Maybe then, I’ll forgive you!

Otherwise !!

“Otherwise what?” I chuckled coldly, stepping in front of Fisher, towering over him with a mocking

tone, “I don’t know if William will kill us all, but right now, I can certainly take your life.”

With that said, I raised the solid fron lamp and, without hesitation, aimed at the back of Fisher’s head and brought it down forcefully

I can assure you, he won’t die from this, but he’ll definitely be in agony

“Ahhh!”

His screams echoed through the entire top floor.

Bright red blood flowed from the back of Fisher’s neck, quickly staining his shirt collar red.

After the intense pain, he seemed to realize at last that I was here to take his life.

He lifted his head, scrutinizing me, and then… Perhaps he remembered something, because his eyes widened, and they trembled even more violently,

He looked terrified!

“D–Diana?”

He trembled as he uttered my name.

I smiled.

“So you do know me. I thought you only had eyes for William.”

Fisher trembled even more, his arrogance and conceit completely gone, replaced by fear and panic. “H–How could it be?” He pleaded, looking at me with an ingratiating expression, stuttering, “I–I have always respected you greatly, Your Highness.”

I raised an eyebrow.

Fisher shifted his bulky frame, “Miss Reist, today is just a misunderstanding. I can explain, please… please spare me.”

“Misunderstanding?”

“Yes!” Fisher swallowed hard, his gaze shifting to the female researcher, “The truth is… the truth is this woman seduced me. She said she wanted to sleep with me and asked for a raise. I intended to

refuse, but she… she undressed herself, and I lost control for a moment, and… and… anyway, I was indeed wrong, but… but I’m also a victim.”

“N–No, that’s not true…” The female researcher cried, “I didn’t seduce him, he… He tried to rape me. “I didn’t!” Fisher denied, “Miss Reist, you can’t just believe this slut. She… she’s smearing my name!” “Smearing you?” I laughed, “But just now at the door, I heard her begging you to let her go, and you told. her that if she dared to resist, you’d beat her until she stopped resisting.”

Fisher turned pale.

“No, I didn’t!” he exclaimed.

“How so?” I inquired.

Fisher’s eyes darted around, clearly searching for excuses to absolve himself.

Suddenly, a cunning gleam flashed in his eyes.

His throat bobbed as he said, “I know! I know! This whole thing is a conspiracy against me!”

I chuckled at Fisher, genuinely curious about what outrageous claims he could come up with.

Nodding, I said, “Alright, then tell me, what conspiracy is this?”

Relieved to be given a chance to argue his case, Fisher sighed.

“Here’s what happened,” he began, “this woman seduced me first, and… I couldn’t resist, so I gave in. Who knew… who knew that as soon as I approached her, she started screaming, accusing me of trying to rape her! Worried about drawing attention and misunderstanding, I tried to restrain her. I was puzzled why she behaved differently before and after, but now that I see you, it all makes sense!”

“What makes sense?” Iprompted.

Fisher confidently stated, “It must be because she knew you were coming today, so she took the opportunity to deliberately frame me!”

“I didn’t!” The female researcher angrily shouted, “What benefit would I gain from doing that?

‘It’s not about you benefiting, but someone else!” Fisher scoffed, “It must be Healer who instructed you to do this, right?”

“Healer?” I widened my eyes in surprise, never expecting that the mastermind behind all this would somehow become me.

Fisher immediately continued loudly, “Yes, Healer! Miss Reist, don’t you know? Healer has always been jealous since I took over as lab manager, so she’s been targeting me at every turn. Now, she’s using you to kick me out of the lab! Don’t be deceived by that evil woman!”
