Sylvia stood up and looked at Nell with sharp eyes, her voice cold and stern. “I've never been able to be harsh on you since your mother died when you were young, but I’ve unexpectedly spoiled you into having such a malicious and stubborn mind!
“Young Master Morton and your sister are in love. It’s fine if you’re jealous of your sister, but you insist on coming in between them. Not only that, but you also bullied your sister repeatedly and reversed the truth, saying that she was the one who stole from you!
“Nell, let me ask you. Do you have a conscience? Your sister has always been good to you. She tolerated so much humiliation at home, but what about you?
“You’re unruly and domineering, not to mention outrageous and unreasonable, and now you even beat someone up and sent them to the hospital! What exactly do you want?”
On the other side of the office door, a group of employees who had crowded over to listen to the gossip were shocked at the news and revealed expressions of contempt.
They never expected that Nell Jennings, who looked so gentle and reasonable in public, would actually hide such a face in private.
Relying on her financial backer, she hooked up with a young and promising man, and even tried to steal her sister’s rich boyfriend.
Not only that, her family found a partner for an arranged marriage out of consideration for her reputation, but she beat him up and sent him to the hospital.
Heavens! How could she be such a person? She was too shameless! Too horrible!
The secrets of the rich and powerful were always subjects of much discussion.
The employees of the company were no exception.
With so many people hearing these words today, they were sure that before long, the entirety of Jincheng would know about this.
At this time, a stern voice suddenly shouted from behind them.
“It’s office hours now! Don’t you guys have to work? Maybe you all don’t want to work anymore?”
Everyone was shocked and turned back, only to find that it was Hannah.
Hannah’s cold expression and icy eyes swept over everyone.
“All of you, get back to work!”
The employees went in a hurry.
In the office.
Nell looked at the smug-looking people across her and sneered, but could not help but feel cold.
She naturally heard the angry shouts outside earlier.
Sylvia must have deliberately said those words because she knew curious employees were huddled outside.
Not only was it to embarrass her, but it was also to create the impression that what she said was the truth, and that Nell was unforgivable.
The Jennings family was forced to come to the company because they could not stand it any longer and escalated things to the way it was now!
As for the people outside, it did not matter whether what was being said was true or false. After listening to those words, they would naturally spread it like wildfire.
Sometimes, it did not matter what the truth was.
What mattered was the speaker’s acting skills. Due to her identity as an elder, people would already naturally believe her words without thinking about it.
Nell sneered silently.
She had already seen this trick five years ago.
Using the power of public opinion, Sylvia suppressed her own granddaughter and forced her to drop out of school and go abroad, so that she would bury herself in the crowd and never dare to willingly come out again.
At that time, she was naive enough to think that as long as she explained it clearly, someone would believe her, and she would be able to prove her innocence.
Thus, she tried hard to beg those people to believe in her and to give her a chance to prove herself.
However… In this world, there were some people and some things that one would only know how horrid they were after experiencing them first-hand.
They did not care about justice and the truth. To achieve their own goals and interests, they would distort the truth deliberately without question.
They would eat steam buns dipped in human blood. Even if the persecuted person was kneeling in front of them, begging and pleading, they would not be moved in the slightest and would not turn back.
Nell took a deep breath.
