"Mr. Charles, please spare my father. My father did it with good intentions. Please forgive my sister. Although my sister has made a mistake, I believe that she must have been forced to do so!" Alicia knelt on the ground, pleading for me and Marvin in tears.
"What a kind-hearted lady. I have never seen such a kind person before. Rachael has seduced her fiancé, which is unforgivable. But Alicia still pleads for her!"
"That's right. She's so kind. Compared to her, Rachael is really disgusting!"
"That's right. Forced to do so? She looks very happy when having sex with those men in those photos. I hope Mr. Charles throws her into the Pacific Ocean to feed the sharks!" When the people in the office saw Alicia plead for me, they criticized me angrily.
Seeing everyone criticizing me angrily, Alicia, who was kneeling and staring at the floor, pretending to be crying, curled her lips into a happy smile.
Kieran swept across the office with his bloodshot eyes. Immediately, the huge office fell into dead silence. Everyone shut up in fear.
Kieran narrowed his eyes. He slowly walked from the other side of the office and stopped in front of me. Immediately, a powerful and cold aura enveloped me, causing me to hold my breath. Sure enough, Kieran knew about those indecent photos and came to settle the score with me. I didn't dare to look up at all. Instead, I bowed my head, staring at my shoes.
However, even so, I could still feel Kieran's cold gaze fixed on me, as though a knife stabbing my skin.
"Rachael, how dare you!" Kieran said. His voice was cold, as though it came from hell, causing my heart to sink in an instant.
I forced a smile and said, "Kieran, I don't know what you're talking about!" I knew that Kieran must have known, but I had to play dumb right now.
"Rachael, things have come to this point. Why don't you have any remorse? Hurry up and confess to Mr. Charles. Perhaps Mr. Charles can forgive you with a big heart!" Alicia cut in loudly.
"You bitch, you should confess and apologize to Mr. Charles right now!" Marvin came out of the trash bin and pressed me to the ground, making me unable to move, trying to force me to apologize to Kieran.
He pressed so hard that my body ached, but I took a deep breath and said calmly, "Father, I don't know what you're talking about!"
Here came a loud bang!
Marvin pressed me down on the ground harder. "Apologize! Apologize to Mr. Charles immediately! I don't want to repeat the disgusting things you've done! Apologize!" Marvin snarled at me fiercely, but when he turned to look at Kieran, his face was filled with fear.
"That's right. Rachael, you cheated on Mr. Charles with so many..." Alicia said as she sobbed softly. She paused, as if she was trying her best to keep some secrets for me. Everyone present thought that she was an innocent, pure, and kind woman.
"You slept with so many men... Mr. Charles treats you so well. And you're getting engaged in a few days. Rachael, you cheated on Mr. Charles. Don't you have any remorse now?" Alicia told the "truth", faking a struggling look. Then, she wailed and said to me, "Rachael, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Charles. It's wrong for you to hurt Mr. Charles like this!"
Pressed on the ground by Marvin, I couldn't move, but I smiled coldly. Every word of Alicia seemed to be for my own good, but she was, in fact, condemning me for my disgusting behaviors. She tried to set Kieran against me by reminding him that his pride had been hurt. She wanted Kieran to disengage me and even torture me to death.
Kieran's gaze landed on Alicia. In an instant, Alicia was so frightened that she became silent. Kieran moved his fingers, and Armand's eyes turned cold. He moved over and grabbed Marvin and kicked him into the trash bin again.
