Chapter 8 ར 93 Veronica's face turned pale as she asked , " You ... you actually recorded it ! " In response , I shrugged as I told her , " Veronica , why do you think I came from headquarters to the branch office without revealing that I'm the CEO's daughter ? " " Since the former sales manager at the branch resigned , several people with real talent were forced out one by one , leaving only you behind . Someone with such limited ability . " " Do you really think the head office wouldn't investigate why so many capable people left and would just help you take the position for no reason ? " " I came from headquarters this time to find out why those key staff members quit and to review the candidates for the business manager position . " " In the end , it turned out that you were the one behind everything , using such dirty and shameful tricks ! " Veronica quickly tried to explain , " No , it's a misunderstanding , Mr. Anderson ! Those people quit because they were ambitious and wanted to work for other companies . It has nothing to do with me ! " " Veronica , stop lying ! " Two girls suddenly came in angrily , glaring at her . "Dare to do it but not admit it? You were the one who spread those rumors to kick us out ! " Both of them took out evidence . One girl had been filmed by Veronica while having dinner with her cousin , then accused online of seducing a married man . Even though she clarified it quickly , people online were more interested in gossip than the truth . They chose not to believe her . Even now , she still managed to get hateful messages calling her a ' mistress . ' Another girl was accused of letting a man touch her in public and was called a shameless flirt online . But the photo had been taken from a misleading angle . It turned out that the man in that photo was the same one who had claimed to be my boyfriend today , The viewers in the livestream were completely enraged . [ Spreading dirty rumors just for a promotion ... how disgusting ! ] [ How dare she act righteous on a livestream after doing that ? ] [ Malicious gossip should be punished ! She deserves to be fired ! ] [ I have a co - worker like this who always spreads lies about others . Get her out of the Chapter 7 2/2 87.5 % 9:27 Thu , Oct 16 office already ! ] My father's men called the police . : 93 Veronica panicked , dropped to her knees and began kneeling as she begged , " Miss Anderson , Mr. Anderson , I was wrong . I really know I was wrong . Please forgive me ! " " I'm divorced and raising a daughter alone . I wanted the promotion so badly . I was greedy and blinded by ambition . Please don't let the police arrest me . I'll take a pay cut . I don't need the promotion anymore ." My dad gave a cold smile as he asked her back , " A pay cut ? A promotion ? Veronica , do you even understand your situation ? " " From now on , you're fired . " " And I'll formally sue you . Not just for my daughter's sake , but also for the other girls you ruined with your lies . My lawyers will handle everything ." " Get ready for jail time and compensation ! " Veronica fell to the floor , crying as she continued begging , " Please , I'm begging you . Let's settle this peacefully . I'll post a public apology online . I can't go to jail ! Please , for the sake of my daughter ! " I sneered and responded , " You have a daughter , but aren't we also someone's daughters ? " " When you spread rumors about others , did you ever think about what would happen if your daughter faced the same thing one day ? " " You had no empathy , but now you expect us to feel sorry for you ? " " Veronica , expect prison . We won't forgive you ! " Soon , the police arrived and took Veronica and the man away .

But before Mrs. Boyle could even breathe in relief , Mr. Boyle filed for divorce . He told Mrs. Boyle , " Mr. Anderson and his daughter are being kind by not suing , but I can't take this anymore ." " You've doubted me again and again . I stayed silent because of our long marriage . I even let you check my phone and video call anytime you wanted , " he continued . " But you came to my workplace and caused chaos . Have you thought about the impact ? I could tolerate your behavior at home , but this time , you went too far.
