Diamond was astonished by the recording. She thought the attacker was a random crazy woman who would attack anyone for no apparent reason.
But it was a mother of four, and the children seed overly familiar with Chloe.
In fact, just by looking at the recording, Diamond could say that the boys seed to favor Chloe much more than their real Mom.
'With that kind of familiarity, this woman who attacked her must be her family. But what kind? Cousin? Sister? Or just a close friend?' Diamond wondered.
But before she could think more about the problem, the head of security asked, "Do you need sothing else?"
Desmond nudged Diamond's heel with his shoe, signaling Diamond to stand straight again.
Diamond resud her nonchalant expression and replied, "That is all. Can you send this CCTV recording to ?"
The head security glanced at the manager, and the manager glanced at Desmond, the attorney who seed to be holding a high rank.
Thus, the manager nodded.
"Alright, I will put this in a flash disk," the head of security took out a new flash disk, copied that recording inside, and then handed it to Diamond.
Diamond gave Desmond a side glance, hunting they had gotten everything they needed.
Thus, Desmond cleared his throat and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. Don't worry about the store, we will try not to give you too much trouble."
Diamond and Desmond left the grocery store and went into Diamond's car.
They took deep, relieved breaths together as they had finished their pretense.
Desmond looked at his little sister and asked, "What the hell was that? Why do you need that kind of recording? I thought your boss was a single fuckboy who barely managed to maintain a relationship for a week."
"But now he is already married apparently?" Desmond asked.
Diamond often told stories of what was happening with her job to her brothers, and she often complained about how much of a fuckboy Vernon Phoenix Gray was.
So this was a surprise for Desmond, who suddenly got a call from his little sister, asking for help to pretend that he was the attorney handling this case.
"Well, this case is about Chloe. She got attacked in the grocery store, and I'm trying to find the culprit," Diamond told her Big brother.
"Chloe— oh, you an the beautiful woman you had a selfie with?" Desmond said.
"Yeah, she's my best friend. That's why I'm willing to help my boss to find the culprit," Diamond confird.
"I see…" Desmond nodded as he suddenly took this seriously. "If Chloe wants the help of an attorney, you can always contact . I will handle her personally."
Diamond shuddered as she quickly realized the true intention of her Big brother;
"Ain't no way I'm gonna give her to you!"
"Hahah! Fine, fine, but don't forget to contact if she happens to be interested in an attorney. I can give her a good life with my current salary too. I saw the selfie you took with her, and I think I fell in love."
Diamond rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe that all her brothers were in love with Chloe with a single look at her selfie.
But then again, Diamond also loved Chloe, but in a sisterly way.
'So, let's just say she is my whole family type,' Diamond thought. If one of her brothers married Chloe, then Chloe would be everyone's dearest. Her parents seed to be fond of her simply from Diamond's story.
'Maybe I should bring hogirl to the next thanksgiving, or christmas, bet everyone will love her,' Diamond thought.
"Well, I'm off to work now. Bye, Diamond."
"Bye, Desmond. Thanks for the help."
Desmond exited the car and returned to his car.
Diamond started typing a note on her phone again, this ti for a new problem;
1. A Hogirl got attacked in the grocery store.
2. The attacker was a mother of four that might be close to her. Presumably a very close friend, cousin, or sister.
3. Chloe doesn't attack back. She is just defending herself and refuses to tell the attacker's identity. So…
"It's probably her sister," Diamond theorized. "Chloe never told about her family, though. She only talked about how much Vincent's family despised her because she didn't co from a rich background.
But she said nothing about her own family, 'The only thing she told about her family was how much she appreciated her mother for raising her as a single mother. Heck, I don't even know the na of anyone in her family.'
Diamond felt depressed as she realized that her feeling of closeness might not be well reciprocated with Chloe.
Diamond told Chloe everything about herself, but Chloe hid everything from her.
The realization disappointed her. She wouldn't lie.
She told Chloe everything about her family, even many of her secrets because she knew that Chloe would never tell anyone.
But she also expected Chloe to open up and share many of her secrets.
"I know that she has a lot of trauma, and it's difficult for her to open up. But I can't help feeling disheartened…." Diamond murmured. "Am I just being too excited over being her best friend? Maybe she doesn't think of the sa way?"
There was a lot of disappointnt stacked up in her heart right now. She had never tried this hard just to help soone who might or might not feel the sa for her.
But she still wanted to help her hogirl to find justice nonetheless.
"At least she should know how serious I am to help her. Maybe she will eventually open up about everything in the end."
Diamond returned to the case that she was handling right now.
She had a strong guess the attacker was Chloe's sister, or at least her close cousin if she had one.
"If that's the case, then it made sense how she tried to hide the identity of the attacker. She must've thought about covering up for her sister, especially looking at how close she is with her nephews."
