How could she change her attitude dramatically overnight?
And it seemed that my guess yesterday was proved to be right!
Someone was guiding Ronald's wife on what to say and how to do.
I looked at Ronald's wife and asked her, "There are so many people in our company, most of whom are women. How can you know that I am Charlotte Archer accurately?"
Hearing my question, Ronald's wife suddenly panicked. Then she stared at the ground and paused for a long time before saying, "You, you look bad at first sight! Who else can it be Charlotte Archer?"
I looked at the policeman who came with her and asked with a faint smile, "Police, she is so powerful that she can see who is the bad person at a glance. Do you want to consider recruiting her as police?"
"What do you mean?" Ronald's wife was anxious. She stood up and pointed to me as she scolded, "It is you who harmed my husband! My husband is healthy. If it weren't for someone who did something to him, how could he have died?"
Seeing that Ronald's wife point to me and scold me, the police seemed to have realized something as well at the moment.
He tried to persuade Ronald's wife, "These are two things. Before you have any evidence, don't connect them together."
Hearing that the police weren't on her side, Ronald's wife pointed to the police and complained, "You will help the rich and bully the poor, right?"
As soon as she roared, the two twins, who were sleeping beside her, burst into tears!
"I'm telling you the truth."
The police were also in a daze.
Instead of suppressing this matter, they got me involved instead.
The colleagues around me looked at me in an unfriendly manner as they whispered.
Someone said in public, "Well, let's fire Charlotte Archer."
"Fire her? Can my husband go back to life after that?" Ronald's wife pointed at the speaker and shouted, "It is not your family member who died. Of course, you don't know the pain I suffer!"
The colleague dared not speak again.
In order not to disturb everyone's work, Seth planned to invite Ronald's wife to his office.
But she insisted on making a big scene here.
She had been making a scene there in such a way for three days in a row.
On the third day, Ronald's wife brought a test sheet for Ronald's stomach examination conducted by the hospital with her, saying that Glorious Seth Design exploited the staff. It was because her husband couldn't have the meal on time that he got sick.
Generally speaking, the compensation for this kind of case was only about 200 or 300 thousand dollars or 500 thousand dollars at most.
It was probably because I got involved in this matter that Seth kindly offered Ronald's wife a million dollars as compensation.
However, she did not agree.
On the fifth day...
When we went to the office in the morning, we found that she had placed Ronald's body at the entrance of the office building! It was unknown what kind of method she had used.
Before that, Seth and I had already bought a shroud for Ronald and asked an undertaker to do him makeup.
At this moment, the corpse was lying at the door. Anyone who took a look at it would be frightened!
I took a look at it from afar. When Ronald's wife saw me, she pounced on me as if she had gone mad and scolded, "Charlotte Archer, it's you. It's you who took advantage of my husband and made him feel that he owed the company. That's why he worked hard and died!"
There were a lot of onlookers around. But most of them dared not approach us.
As Ronald's wife rushed to me, everyone was enjoying it as a show.
"Regardng this matter, including the project, they have nothing to do with me."
I explained it to her.
But she just wouldn't listen to me. And she pulled me as she burst into tears.
Then, as she cried, she asked everyone to help her get an explanation.
None of the onlookers dared to move forward. Based on Ronald's wife's current behavior, she seemed to be crazy.
Not long after, the police arrived and invited her upstairs.
They wanted her to take the body back to the funeral house and burn it so that Ronald could rest at peace.
