Nathan looked down at Melanie and the others, who were groveling on the ground. He sneered, "Have you all realized your mistake? I was wondering what was taking so long. What were all of you up to?"
Jenny added oil to the fire, "Pretty sure they were busy with mobilizing the fans to spread malicious rumors, directly causing our company's stock price to plummet. We lost a whopping seven billion because of this!"
Melanie, Hugoand the others trembled in fright as they groveled on the ground. All of them were sweating profusely out of pure terror.
Melanie cried as she begged, "Mr. Cross and Ms. Smith, it's all our fault. We were blind! We should never have offended both of you."
"I have made the news headlines which instantly destroyed my reputation among the fans. Relevant departments have blacklisted me, and the police are looking for me to carry out further investigations." "Mr. Cross and Ms. Smith, I was wrong! Please give me another chance and let me off the hook this time!"
Nathan hissed at them, "I gave you a chance during the day, but you chose not to take it. You are finished."
At this moment, Channing Investigation Unit's Captain Zed Walker arrived along with the police squad.
The captain pulled out an arrest warrant as he announced, "Melanie Zane and Hugo Lawson, both of you are suspected of spreading malicious rumors and involved in other crimes. Please follow us back to assist in our investigations."
Hugo's face turned ashen while Melanie wept uncontrollably.
They were both filled with remorse. Unfortunately, there was no crying over spilt milk.
Once Melanie and the rest were arrested, Penny, along with the others, celebrated in unison.
The rogues who had caused Cross Group to lose their reputation and a loss of 7 billion were finally going to pay the price.
Penny stared at the clock and realized it was already 8 p.m. The company executives who were working overtime until now have not had anything to eat yet.
She then announced that she would treat everyone to some steamboat.
Penny and Nathan took the elevator down to the company's basement, and Penny soon realized Nathan was driving a black Hongqi HS7.
She asked in surprise, "Nathan, when did you buy this car?"
Nathan chuckled, "We have three cars at home. Two of the BMWs are being utilized by you and your dad. The remaining one is too flashy, so I asked my friend to get me a car to help me get around."
