Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 502

Gwyneth turned to the City Hall officials with a look of genuine regret. “I promise I’ll have my team investigate the tampered delivery van thoroughly. Since we’re working with City Hall, you have my word—I would never falsify data or try to cheat the process.”

It was rare for Gwyneth to bother with polite formalities. She glanced at Selene, an almost admiring smile touching her lips. “Selene, you really do know how to surprise me.”

But the praise tasted bitter. Inside, Gwyneth was seething.

She was certain Selene had known about the fraudulent testing long before today. Selene had waited for the perfect moment, right here in front of everyone, to shatter the lies in public—leaving Gwyneth with no way to cover for her team. Events had spun entirely out of her control.

Her expression darkened as the realization settled in.

“...full investigation…”

“...accountability…”

Each phrase sent another chill down Gwyneth’s spine.

Selene’s gaze landed on her.

“Ms. Lockridge, don’t you agree that this deserves a thorough investigation?”
