Chapter 746
The two bodyguards standing beside Maribel let go at the same time.
She was thrown to the ground. There were red marks on her wrists, and her face contorted in pain.
Yet she could not care less. She ran to pick up the torn clothes on the ground to cover up her body.
She forced herself to ignore the mocking expressions from those male colleagues.
After covering her private parts, Catelyn walked over slowly and eventually stopped in front of her.
Maribel's eyes landed on Catelyn's high heels, and she slowly looked up to meet Catelyn's deep eyes.
"Now tell me, who gave you the order last night?"
Maribel's face was swollen like a bun. she bit her lower lip forcefully and asked instead, "How did Missus Zimmer learn about her husband and me? Did you tell her? It's you who led her to find me, right?!"
Catelyn chuckled. "Missus Zimmer probably hasn't gone far. she seemed reluctant to let you go. should I call her back again?"
"No! I'll talk!" Recalling the scene of being bullied by Missus Zimmer, Maribel trembled uncontrollably, as she was dominated by fear, and stammered, "The person who told me your address that day was Miss Weir, she instructed me to ruin you last night..."
'Not surprised. What kind of hatred does she have for me? Why does she want to kill me at all costs? Just because Stella remarried her father? shouldn't she blame Stella for being vain? what does it have to do with me?' Catelyn pondered.
Hunter then had the by-standing staff get back to work after the incident.
Jolene secretly posted the video of Maribel accusing Quinn on the Internet, together with other videos she secretly filmed Maribel being beaten as a mistress. Those videos immediately caught people's attention and received over a million views on social media.
After all, people on the web only pay attention to and care about sensationalist yet trivial things.
Jolene felt no pity for Maribel. Her face was perfectly captured in every frame of the video.
Coupled with Jolene's skillful editing, the video content became that Quinn Weir, the head of Pentaland Group, deliberately bribed Maribel to frame the VSA Group.
In addition, Missus Zimmer also wanted to make Maribel notorious, so she paid a group of people to promote, through commenting and sharing, those videos.
In the end, Maribel suffered by being accused as a mistress and beaten by Missus Zimmer.
Those videos instantly became the topics of top trends on Twidder. However, that was not the end of suffering for Maribel.
That was because her cousin failed to escape and was caught.
Hunter asked the Department of Justice to accuse Maribel and her cousin of embezzlement.
Before Maribel could recover from the trauma of being beaten by Missus Zimmer, she had been visited by the police because of the shoddy construction projects.
Afterward, Catelyn repeatedly checked the details of other projects that Maribel had taken over with the help of Hunter. Fortunately, although Maribel and her cousin had long embezzled the company's fund, they did not dare to be too blatant at that, so there were just negligible flaws in the construction.
