Jean dropped her gaze with a snort and replied weakly, “What, don’t tell me you somehow know the real identities of every member in the organization?”
Jolene raised her eyebrows and suddenly laughed. “Not quite.”
She strolled over slowly, her voice falling close to Jean’s ear. “Your brother… is Easton, right?”
Jean’s eyes flew open, her pupils trembling. “How did you…”
Jolene had guessed it?
Back before the Abyssal Choir’s routine meeting–when Jean first met Jolene–she had asked Easton to help her get in contact with Jolene.
At the time, she had no idea Jolene was Moon.
Thinking back, Jolene must have figured out her real identity through that.
“Your brother reached out to me through his connections,” Jolene said casually. “But I rejected him without a second thought. Your identity wasn’t hard to guess.” She looked down, her deep eyes falling gently on the crown of Jean’s head. “I looked into it a little and pieced most of it together. But that’s not really the point.”
Jolene rubbed her hair and added, “This afternoon, I’ll be going to the station to see that friend of yours.”
“You’re that fast?” Jean couldn’t help but blurt out.
Jolene looked amused, her lips quirking in a half–smile. “Of course. I hate dragging things out.”
Jean and the others had lunch at Jolene’s law office.
That afternoon, Jolene would be going to the police station to meet Asher, with Mindy accompanying her.
Jean and Sofia, meanwhile, were planning to head back to school.
Sofia had skipped class to come out here, and Jean hadn’t been back in days…
The two of them got on the bus to Stellarford Academy, and they had only just sat down when-
Sofia, eyes glued to her phone, suddenly shook Jean’s shoulder in excitement. “Jean, you’re trending!”
Jean blinked in surprise. “What?”
She immediately pulled out her own phone from her pocket and opened Twitter-
Sure enough, she was trending. And she was trending with Jolene.
To be fair, Jean wasn’t a complete unknown.
Back when she’d played the role of the little tree in the Hope Cup stage play, she’d gained quite a few fans.

Jolene had made Mr. Lwain kneel down and bark like a dog in the middle of a crowded street, and Jean had been right there watching. A passerby had recorded the whole thing and posted the video online, sparking an uproar and landing them on the trending page.
“This is that legendary top lawyer Jolene who disappeared for years, right? Why does her grand reappearance look like bullying?”
“Jean and Jolene know each other? Never saw that plot twist coming.”
“Can someone explain what the hell is going on here? Are Jolene and Jean bullying this middle–aged man in public?”
“Jolene is this scary? She seems like a nightmare. Jean, girl, run while you still can.”
“Jean is still so cute, hahahahaha.”
“Why do I think they actually look good standing next to each other? What’s wrong with me.”
“You are messed up, just saying.”
“Anyone on the scene witness this? What’s really going on? Didn’t Jolene just use violence? Why is she acting like being powerful gives her the right to do anything?”
Jean scrolled through the hot search and read through all kinds of user comments. Trending wasn’t the scary part..
The scary part was–
It looked like she and Jolene had been misunderstood.
From the video alone, without any context, it did look like the two of them were ganging up on Mr. Lwain…
