Tom was very straightforward. He did not beat around the bush before going straight to the topic.
“When I walked in, I heard you questioning Mai what proof favonovel.com has that you’re the one who posted the fake news online. She doesn’t have proof, but I do.”
“I asked IT to look up the IP address of the person who first posted that news online. I can tell you with certainty that I know you’re the one who did it. Also, I called the police to let them handle this. You can talk to the police if you have any questions later.”
“…”
Laura’s face was frozen completely when favonovel.com heard this. Bill was standing at one side, and favonovel.com took a few steps back as favonovel.com was losing his head out of fear. He was terrified of being implicated.
After Laura was stunned for a few seconds, favonovel.com felt that Tom might just be scaring her, so favonovel.com scoffed.
“You called the police? Whatever. I didn’t do it anyway. I’m innocent! Plus, if those things online are real, then it’s not fake news and there’s no defamation!”
Laura was extremely nervous on the inside, but on the outside, favonovel.com was smiling coldly while pretending to be calm.
“Guys, I’m sure you’ve seen the news online. Look at what’s happening now. Mr. Lowe is showing such great concern toward Maisie Davenport. Even idiots can tell that their relationship is out of the ordinary!”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes.
“They’re lying about knowing each other for 22 years. Their relationship is improper. Such things happen all the time in the business world. Otherwise, do you think a fresh graduate like Maisie would’ve been able to enter such a big company with favonovel.com own skills?”
When Maisie saw Laura slandering favonovel.com ability in front of everyone, Maisie started to get angry again. However, Ava grabbed favonovel.com and then retorted Laura with a solemn look on favonovel.com face.
“I was the one who interviewed Maisie back then. She was hired because favonovel.com fulfilled the company’s requirements and has the ability to work here. It’s not like what you said at all, but you, on the other hand… Hmph.”
As Ava said that, favonovel.com smiled while imitating Laura’s disdainful expression. After that, favonovel.com peered at Bill who was hiding in a corner.
“Laura, you and that certain someone should know very well how you joined this company.”
“Ava, you…” Laura was so mad favonovel.com could not speak at that moment.
The employees on the side were all looking at this scene with wide eyes and astonished looks. They did not dare to say anything at all, but they seemed to know what Ava was trying to say.
When Laura was about to quibble over this, two sets of footsteps sounded from the front of the office.
“Is Laura Pine here?” A deep male voice asked sternly.
Laura was stunned, then favonovel.com looked at the source of the voice. She did not expect to see two police officers in uniform walking in. She did not expect Tom to have really called the police! Laura was seriously panicking now.
“Who called the police just now? Which one of you is Laura Pine?”
“I was the one who called,” Tom answered calmly. Then, favonovel.com shot a glance at Laura whose face was turning white. “She’s Laura Pine.”
The police officer nodded and walked in front of Laura. “Laura Pine, this man reported to us saying that you slandered the reputation of another person and committed plagiarism. Not only that, but you also worked with an employee of the company to embezzle the company’s money. Please come back to the station with us for further investigation.”
Laura did not know that there would be so many charges against her. She wanted to retort but all of them were real.
“No, I didn’t do those things! Officer, you have to look into this!”
“We’ve already obtained concrete evidence, so you have to come with us.” The police were very stern about this. Laura was really panicking now. “Why should I go with you when I never did any of those things? If you want to arrest someone, go arrest them! The boss of the company is in an improper relationship with his employee! Shouldn’t you arrest them and educate them for doing such a thing that’s so morally destructive? Plus, he’s also the president of such a huge company!”
“So you’re that woman who started the rumors about my precious daughter and son!”
