Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613 

“Who the heck are you? Do you realize we can sue you for defamation?” 

Leonardo and Cornelia’s relationship was mostly squabble–filled, neither of them big fans of each other, but if anyone tried to tarnish Cornelia’s reputation, Leonardo 

wouldn’t stand for it 

He continued, “Ryan, you’re a lawyer, you should teach this spiteful woman a lesson Defaming others can lead to serious consequences How many years could she be sentenced to if it’s severe 

Ryan played along. “That depends on the severity of the situation and how much damage the slander has done to the person’s reputation and life 

The woman in black was clearly prepared. She fearlessly retorted, “Well since there’s a lawyer among you, can you kindly tell this thief what the consequences of stealing are? Especially when it’s something worth thirty million dollars?” 

Without giving anyone the chance to respond, the woman in black eyed Cornelia, “You’re not bad looking quite pretty actually Made a decent amount of money through shady means, I suppose. Why the need to steal then?” 

In society the most effective way to stigmatize a woman was through malicious slander. Cornelia had seen too much of this over the years. 

Now being attacked like this, she barely flinched. 

“Who the hell are you? If you continue this nonsense, Ill make you regret i 

Coming from a wealthy family, Leonardo wasn’t used to being bullied Hearing such an insult, he got instantly pissed, 

“Look, he’s getting upset. Guilty, perhaps? The woman in black raised her voice, attracting the attention of the guests. 

With the crowd growing, naturally, it caused a stir. Cameron appeared at the scene just in time, “What seems to be the problem here?” 

The woman in black pointed at Cornelia and yelled, “This woman stole Mrs. Reese’s necklace” 

If it wasn’t for his upbringing that taught him never to hit a woman, Leonardo would’ve slapped her, “Try spouting that nonsense again” 

Cameron held back an agitated Leonardo, “Leo, hold your horses. If there are accusations against Cornelia, we’ll clear her name. It’s not a big deal 

Leonardo shook off Cameron’s hand, “It might not be a big deal, but isn’t this damaging to one’s self–esteem? Cameron, no one’s bullying Cornelia as long as I’m here” 

Cameron frowned. “Everyone is standing around now If Cornelia can’t prove she didn’t steal the necklace, it might tarnish her reputation and may even affect the Hartley Group.” 

Leonardo retorted, “Pshh! All the sweet talk. I think this woman in black is the one who stole the necklace. She’s just pointing fingers at us first.” 

The woman in black countered, “You suspect that I stole the necklace? Did you see me take it?” She took off her coat and handed it to Cameron, “Mr. Reese, please clear my name in front of everyone.”
