Vivian s final word-“slut–echoed through the hall as the screamed it with every ounce of strength the possessed.
For a heartbeat, the entire lobby fell silent, the slur reverberating through the grand space.
The stunned onlookers forgot about recording videos or taking photos. Instead, they gathered in small clusters, whispering among themselves

“So what Vivian’s saying isn’t completely made up?”
This is the Tudor Group Building–would she dare make up such lies here? She’d have to be suicidal.”
“I wonder what seductive tricks Louisa used to entice Mr. Tudor,”
*Exactly, Mr. Tudor is such a dignified person. How could he be bewitched
hed by a divorced woman?”
As the unfavorable rumors spread, Vivian shot Louisa a malicious, triumphant look–challenging and threatening
Louisa merely smiled, surveying everyone present with a sharp gaze before settling her gentle smile on Vivian. “You claim I seduced my boss and climbed
into his bed. Do you have any evidence?”
Vivian opened her mouth, but no words came out. How had she forgotten to prepare evidence?
But there was no backing down now. She lifted her chin high with righteous indignation, “Of course I have evidence! Julian targeting my family’s company because of you that’s the evidence! Why else would he go after us?”
This statement made Louisa laugh again, her smile growing even brighter as she addressed the crowd, “Ms. Price speaks with such conviction, it seems she really does have evidence. I’m truly speechless.
“Since her evidence is so compelling, why don’t we ask Mr. Tudor himself what he thinks?
Without waiting for anyone’s reaction, Louisa turned to the receptionist. “Call Mr. Tudor and tell him someone down here is spreading tumors about him. Ask if he wants to clarify the situation or call the police!”
Louisa’s sharp, commanding presence
e made the receptionist act without hesitation, immediately picking up the phone to call Teddy.
The onlookers were stunned. No one expected such boldness from Louise. How dare she speak about Julian this way? Even if they had slept together, would

As memories of those terrible prison experiences flooded back, she swayed unsteadily on her feet, on the verge of collapse.
“Yes, yes, Mr. Young, I understand. Call the police,” the receptionist said before hanging up and immediately dialing the police.

Chapter 149
Vivian was completely stunned. She couldn’t go back to prison–she was terrified of that place now. She scrambled to her feet and tried to run
Louisa quickly grabbed het by the hair, holding her like a dead rat.
“Who are you leaving so soon?” she smirked coldly. “Didn’t you have solid evidente? Weren’t you so righteous? Stay and confront this!
“Or is it that prison didn’t teach you to turn over a new leaf? Perhaps you’d like to go back for more lessons? Or maybe you’d prefer to avoid all this trouble
by apologizing and admitting you have no evidence–that you were purely spreading malicious rumors about me?‘
Faced with this soul–crushing ultimatum, Vivian crumpled. I’m sorry, The sorry! I was wrong. I have no evidence, I was making up rumors, okay?”
With that, she wrenched herself free and ran away covering her face, even knocking aside a security guard who tried to stop her.
The onlookers watched this series of twists with utter disbelief.
Sexual rumors were every working woman’s worst nightmare, yet Louisa had resolved it so effortlessly?
Everyone looked at her with a mixture of shock and fear, just who was this woman?
But she had dared to call for police involvement, and Julian had agreed. It seemed there truly wasn’t anything inappropriate between them after all
Louisa calmly surveyed the crowd, taking in everyone’s expressions. This move wasn’t just about dealing with Vivian–it was also about making an example, a
vaming to these bystanders.
With so many witnesses, she had to control the situation or it would be all over town by tomorrow. She needed to show them that spreading malicious
rumors came with consequences.
With the situation finally resolved, Louisa couldn’t be bothered with these people anymore. She returned to her office to collect her things and head home.
On the 36th floor, Teddy was reporting everything to Julian, his words full of admiration for how Louisa had handled the situation with such decisiveness.
Julian looked up at him. “You seem to like her quite a bit.”
Caught up in his excitement, Teddy replied without thinking, “Who wouldn’t like someone as beautiful and clever as Ms. Forbes”
The air
air around them suddenly turned frigid.
“I mean like as in a friendly way, not in a romantic sense,” Teddy quickly added.
Julian gave him a cool look. “Did I ask?”
Teddy thought to himself: Weren’t you just asking me exactly that?!
Julian ignored him and said, “Send a message from the company’s official be immediately terminated.”
“Yes, sir! Teddy promptly responded.

“Also…” Julian paused in his signing, his tone cold, “tell Noah to keep a close eye on things. Vivian might try to harm Louisa”

“Yes, sir.” Teddy hurried to make the arrangements.
Just then, Teresa called Julian, her voice gentle, Julian, Moni Adeline just called to say dinners almost ready. She wants us to come back.”
I understand,” Julian said before hanging up.
Having overheard this, Teddy couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Tudor, you haven’t been back to Cozy Community for several days. Are you still not planning to go hack tonight?”
