Chapter 83
“No rush,” Charlotte said with a faint smile. “The best part’s still to come.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Just then, Yasmine burst into the office too, face flushed with anger
“Charlotte Riley! You really tiled a lawsuit against me? I just said a few things. Do you really have to go that far?”
Charlotte didn’t even blink “Oh look, here comes the other one.”
Yasmine had just received a court notice via text. She didn’t believe it at first, but once she clicked the link and saw the official complaint and case number, she was stunned speechless
Charlotte finally looked up at the two of them, calm and collected sec
“You’re both lawyers. You should know exactly what consequences come with slandering someone. If you want to ruin your own careers, I’m happy to help speed. things along.”
“You
“Yasmine opened her mouth to snap back but stopped herself just in
Ein time.
The thought of a criminal conviction and the end of her legal career sank in fast. Her expression shifted, and her voice softened.
Miss Riley, I was wrong. I really am sorry, I shouldn’t have gossiped or spread those rumors. Please drop the lawsuit. I’m begging you. I swear I’llneverd again.”
charlotte gave a light, mocking smile.
“Too late.”
Her voice turned cold.
“I gave you a chance. You two have been spreading lies about me for days. Did either of you ever think to apologize? Or do you only take it seriously now that I’m pushing back? If that’s the case, then go ahead–take the consequences like adults.”
“Please, just give me one more chance, “Yasmine pleaded, her panic growing
Willy, seeing that Charlotte wasn’t backing down to kindness, suddenly lunged forward and swung at her.
Charlotte reacted quicidy, leaning back and dodging the slap.
“Getting desperate, are we?” she said as she rose from herchair. “Weren’t you real tough back when you were trashing me behind my back?”
Willy cursed and charged at her again
But before he could get close, two uniformed police officers walled into the office.
“Willy Kennedy?” one of them asked. “You’re under investigation for rape. You’ll need to come with us.”
willy froze, unable to process what he had just heard–until the handcuffs clicked around his wrists.
“There must be a mistake,” he stammered. “You’ve got the wrong person!”
Charlotte stood calmly with her anus crossed, smiling sweetly
“Didn’t I say? The best part was still coming”
After Yvonne’s resignation, a senior attomey named Lily Cook was promoted to department head.
Lily was well–liked, honest, competent, and fair. She treated everyone respectfully and never played politics. The whole team was happy with the change.
And everyone knew about Willy getting taken away by the police.
Colleagues started approaching Charlotte privately.
“What happened? What’s this about Willy being charged with rape?”
charlotte didn’t bother hiding in. She believed in making it clear that messing with her had consequences.
“oh, that? saw a post online from a young girl asking for help. She said she was drunk at a bar and someone took advantage of her. She was too scared to go to the police. She was worried her classmates or family would find out
1 didn’t think much of it at first, just wanted to help her but then she showed me a photo of the man who assaulted her and it was willy.
the moment i saw that picture, I was floored. Who would’ve thought this so–called proper attorney was out here preying on drank underage gitis in bars?
“I helped her report it and guided her through the evidence collection. Thankfully, she hadn’t showed after it happened, and the lab found traces of his DNA. The
1/2
evidence is solid and Willy’s going down.
she’s still a student, you know. The guy’s disgusting.”
Charlotte counted the whole story clearly and calmly, then added, “I’m not sharing her name,
of course.”
The crowd around her was stunned. Everyone shook their heads, murmuring about how appearances can be deceiving
Some called Willy a hypocrite. Others went further, saying he was worse than an animal.
