Chapter 202 Robin Is My Fiancé
As Piper presented her story, Shirley's gaze turned cold.
"Piper, do you know that Robin is my fiancé?" she asked coldly.
"Do you think he'd be so desperate for attention that he'd sneak out in the middle of the night to harass you?
"Just how starved for affection do you imagine him to be?
"Stop your nonsense!"
<i>Wait, Robin is Ms. Dunn's fiancé?</i>
Both Piper and Rosalie were stunned.
Rosalie instinctively looked over at Robin, who was still fiddling with his phone. Her heart skipped a beat.
<i>Thank goodness I had never dared to think too far ahead.</i>
<i>Harmonfield's most stunning woman, Shirley, was engaged to Robin!</i>
<i>Oh, Piper, what a laughable fool you've made of yourself!</i>
<i>From the moment you met Robin, you insisted he was scheming to win you over.</i>
<i>But, would Robin have the desire to pursue or harass someone like you with Ms. Dunn as his fiancée?</i>
<i>You're nothing standing next to Ms. Dunn. Who gave you the confidence to think otherwise?</i>
Recovering from the initial shock, Piper replied, "Ms. Dunn, just because you're his fiancée, that doesn't guarantee he wouldn't go after other women, does it?"
Amber, surprised at Piper's boldness, gave her a sharp look.
It was the first time Amber had truly taken a look at this arrogant woman.
<i>She's plain and mediocre in every way. Nothing compared to Ms. Dunn.</i>
<i>Her actions screamed that she was delusional and arrogant instead of confident.</i>
Shirley chuckled lightly. "If Robin were to pursue another woman, he'd pick someone like Amber before ever looking at you. Do you think you're more beautiful or captivating than Amber?"
"Huh?" Amber, who was taken aback, shot Shirley a playful but indignant glance.
"But I have proof of Robin's harassment," Piper insisted confidently. "Ms. Dunn, that's the undeniable truth!"
Shirley's voice turned cold. "Piper, the only reason I haven't dealt with this issue publicly is to give you a chance to admit your wrongs on your own.
"Someone like you doesn't have the skill or standing to play games with me and Robin.
"You've caused trouble for him repeatedly and stirred up drama within the company, yet neither of us took action against you.
"I'll make it clear. We haven't done anything about you because you're simply not worth the effort.
"I won't hold back if you continue down this path. Your actions have already seriously damaged Robin's reputation and hurt the company.
"I'm giving you one last chance—publicly clarify the truth within the company, and resign."
Piper sneered. "Ms. Dunn, are you threatening me?
"Let me remind you, I have evidence of Robin harassing me.
"If I post it online, you know what kind of fallout that will bring for both Robin and the Dunn Group."
Rosalie tugged at her and pleaded. "Piper, Ms. Dunn is giving you a chance. Don't do this!
"You falsely accused Robin by spreading misleading and decontextualized photos on the company network. You've caused severe harm to both Robin and Ms. Dunn's reputation.
"She brought you here to keep this situation from escalating further. Do you think you have any standing to go up against Ms. Dunn and Robin?
"Piper, when we applied for jobs here, you said you wanted to work hard and fulfill your dreams with the Dunn Group.
"But now ... look how far you've strayed. I can't understand why you'd end up here.
"Do as Ms. Dunn says, and explain everything on the internal network—"
"Shut up!" Piper snapped. "You idiot. Who are you to lecture me?
"If Robin doesn't know his place, I'll make sure he learns what happens when you ignore me!"
Shirley shook her head. "Fine if you don't appreciate the chance. Ms. Jenning, post this recording on the company's internal network and publish the decision regarding Piper."
"Recording?" Piper's eyes darted to Rosalie. In an instant, she realized what had happened.
"Rosalie, you ... you betrayed me!"
Rosalie stepped back, trembling. "Piper, it wasn't betrayal. You went too far. Robin has helped me so much, and I couldn't just stand by while you set him up ... "
Piper laughed bitterly at Shirley. "So what? I can still release these photos online. Who's to say what's true and what's false then, huh?"
Robin, unperturbed, looked up at Shirley. "No need to waste your time on some trash, Shirley. Just post the video online, and the truth will be clear to everyone." Then, he forwarded the footage of Piper's attempted trap from the previous night to Shirley.
After reviewing the video content, Shirley's expression changed.
"Piper, you brought this on yourself. You can leave now. Ms. Jenning, have the PR department release the video and follow up thoroughly.
"If Piper insists on challenging the Dunn Group, then let her and anyone who tries to undermine us understand what it means to bite off more than you can chew."
Amber was surprised at the video that Shirley had forwarded to her.
