Chapter 204
Hector still had some porn on his phone, and if Simon saw them, it would be unbearably awkward!
No way, he couldn’t let his brother see his private stuff.
But Simon gave him no chance. He held the phone high and swiped straight to the call log.
Sure enough, at 9:30 this morning, Irene had indeed called Hector’s number, and the call lasted one minute.
Even though he already knew the truth, he still wanted to give Luna a chance to clear her name.
Avoiding Hector’s attempts to snatch back the phone, Simon asked with a trace of hope, “What were you doing at 9:30 this morning p>
Hector failed to get the phone back, sulked, and said irritably, “Simon, why are you suddenly asking this? Just give me back my phone p>
He really didn’t understand.
It was just a trip, not like they hadn’t traveled before-why was it such a big deal this time?
When he caught sight of his brother’s stern expression, he scratched his head in frustration, completely at a loss.
They had gone to so many places-how was he supposed to remember?
Luna, however, felt uneasy. Hector didn’t know the truth, but she knew very well.
At 9:30 this morning, Irene had called Hector’s phone.
At that time, he was off doing a skydiving activity and had left his phone with her.
After the activity ended, she never told him about their grandmother’s illness. That had been her selfish choice.
Only she and Irene knew about this, and since she hadn’t said a word, Irene never realized it was her who had answered the call.
The only person who could have told Simon was Autumn. And only Autumn would stab her in the back, wishing for her downfall.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward to explain for Hector. “Simon, at that time Hector was skydiving, so he left his phone with me. He really didn’t know about this.
“Maybe because of the mountains, I couldn’t hear clearly what Irene was saying, so I didn’t mention it to Hector.
“Simon, I truly didn’t know Grandma was sick. If I had known, I would’ve come back with Hector right away p>
Autumn might have wanted to use this chance to ruin her, but it wasn’t going to work.
She had even considered deleting the call record back then.
But deleting the call record required a password, and she didn’t know Hector’s.
She tried several times but failed, and in the end, couldn’t delete it.
She hadn’t expected this to become Autumn’s evidence to stab her in the back. That woman was truly devious, leaving no room as she tried to ruin her completely.
Luckily, she reacted quickly, or she really would have fallen into Autumn’s trap. That woman was terrifying.
Autumn seemed to enjoy playing dirty, and she loved to speak ill of others. It was despicable and shameless.
At this moment, Hector stammered as he tried to explain, “Simon, what exactly did Autumn tell you? You came back with a dark

face and started questioning me and Luna.
“Luna is so well-behaved, there’s no way she would lie. It must be Autumn exaggerating and saying bad things about us.
“What exactly does she want? She won’t be satisfied until she tears this family apart, is that it p>
The more he spoke, the angrier he became.
After a pause, he added, “Just because we didn’t attend Mom’s third death anniversary while we were taking care of Luna, she decided to go against us?
“And I don’t even know how she latched onto Keith Sinclair, but tonight he actually defended her.
“The last time we tried to negotiate with Vanguard, she stuck her nose in and nearly cost us the deal. Now she’s outright making sure we can’t even talk business. How can her heart be this malicious p>
