Love After Leaving: No Regret

Chapter 50 A Crime

Agnes said, “No need to cancel. Even if they leave bad reviews, don’t delete them.”

Rebecca panicked. “Agnes, are you serious? Does this mean we shouldn’t open the store anymore?”

“Of course, we’re opening! Why wouldn’t we? If they want to buy, let them wait in line. Even now, if you want a luxury bag or shoes, you have to preorder first, right?”

Rebecca could only grit her teeth and watch as more orders kept coming in online, feeling helpless.

Several days passed, and they still hadn’t finished many pieces, But Agnes remained calm, acting leisurely each day.

Soon, Tidewhisper Lily’s online store’s comment section was filled with low ratings, and customers who had received products began returning them one after another.

At the same time, posts accusing Tidewhisper Lily of taking money without delivering, or claiming prices and quality didn’t match, appeared online.

Agnes looked at the orders and returns on her computer and did a rough calculation, thinking to herself.

Just then, her phone rang, showing Jasper on the caller ID.

After hearing what he said on the other end, Agnes smiled. It was exactly as she expected.

At the Y&N office building, Hillary looked at the posts on her phone and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Heh, Tidewhisper Lily, Aurora… Since I can’t beat you, I might as well make you miserable a bit.”

Just as she was gloating, the office door opened. Her assistant rushed in, flustered.

Hillary frowned slightly. “What’s the big deal? Don’t you know to knock before entering my office?”

The assistant looked pale and blurted out anxiously, “H–Hillary… There are police officers outside looking for you…”

Hillary froze. “What? Police? Why would there be police?”

Before she could finish, several uniformed officers walked in.

“You’re Hillary Young, right? Someone reported that, out of personal grudges, you created multiple accounts and subordinates, repeatedly purchased products from Tidewhisper Lily, and maliciously returned and refunded them multiple times.

“Based on the data provided by the complainant, your cumulative transactions amount to three million dollars, which constitutes business sabotage.

“Additionally, you employed an online bot army to spread baseless rumors and defame Tidewhisper Lily, which constitutes defamation.

“In summary, you have committed a criminal offense. You’re to come with us.”

Hillary’s face turned pale. She stood there in shock, unable to react immediately.

“You… you must be mistaken! Officer, what joke is this? I didn’t commit a crime!”

The officers stepped forward and showed her a detention notice with her name clearly on it.

Hillary was utterly dumbfounded.

How could Tidewhisper Lily trace that back to her so quickly? She had spread orders through multiple people.

The officers didn’t give her a chance to argue and simply took her away.

Posts defaming Tidewhisper Lily were gradually removed from the internet.

Meanwhile, a prominent headline appeared online.

“Grandridge Newton Group Heir Raymond’s Girlfriend Allegedly Taken by Police.”

Below it was a photo of Hillary walking flanked by police officers.

She looked panicked as two officers guided her arms to the police car parked outside.

Rebecca looked at the computer in confusion, then glanced at Agnes, who was leisurely sipping her coffee.

“What’s going on, Agnes? What kind of move is this? I was worried sick, and suddenly, everything online is peaceful?

“All the posts bashing our store are gone?”

Agnes said, “Do you know why I told you to send our stock to those people first and let them place orders without stopping them?”

Rebecca stared at Agnes, wide–eyed, completely confused.

Agnes continued, “It was clearly malicious ordering. If the total amount is too low, it doesn’t meet the threshold for a criminal case.

‘Legally, malicious ordering is considered fraud. If the amount reaches over ten thousand, it’s considered a relatively large amount.

“It can be investigated as a criminal case. The offender faces at least three years in prison and must compensate for my losses.”
