I can prove you wrong

Oh, did she? Lanni mocked him in her heart.

"I told her what I thought of it and she yelled at me. We fell out so badly that I had to call and ask whether what the media revealed is true." She explained the nonsense she had come up with a while ago, which was in line with Flynn's plan.

"It's a lie. You know that I would never hurt my own flesh and blood. Actually, Lanni, there is something I didn't tell you."

"What is it?" Lanni asked.

"That day, I had a bug on me. Someone is trying to investigate me for heaven knows what reason."

Lanni was amused by his ability to push logic. Was he trying to make it seem like he had been forced to say such mean words to save her and Luna? He had even cleverly left it to her imagination so she would be the one to fill in the meaning behind his words. If she exposed him later, he would simply deny having said anything about it.

"I understand." She was too tired to argue with him so she dismissed him.
