Chapter 104 Ms. Everly, I Am Teaching You a Lesson
"What was I talking about? Can't you hear me from such a close distance? Ms. Everly, you'd better go to the doctor and have a check with your listening. You cannot be deaf at such a young age!"
I stared at Everly coldly, "Since Ms. Everly doesn't remember it, let me give you a hint. Two days ago, you said I have three days to solve the photo things; otherwise, I would get dismissed. I think I have explained everything clear in front of all the colleagues here. Do you have any further questions, Ms. Everly?" I looked at Everly, with a fake smile on my face.
Everly snorted and said with disdain, "Since you've got things under control, you can stay. It is just that you are good at quibbling. It doesn't mean that you're innocent."
"Ms. Everly, you just said that it's just I am good at quibbling, and it doesn't mean that you're innocent!" I immediately repeated what Everly had just said. The colleagues' attention was attracted to us quickly. "Isn't this clear enough? Even Mr. Night had already issued a statement and the photos had been restored. If these are all quibbles, what is the truth?"
"Exactly. Even a blind person would not dare to say that those photos are real. How could Ms. Everly, a well-educated woman..."
I kept my ears on for those murmuring bad comments of Everly and looked at her with a smile, "Ms. Everly, you are a smart well-educated person. I am different. May I ask you something? If everything I said today were quibbles, what is the truth? Or you are just like Alicia, knowing someone who can refute Mr. Night's statement? If so, I do not mind meeting that person face to face!" I said as I handed Everly my phone. The meaning was very clear. It was to make Everly under Alicia's ridiculous situation.
Everly's face immediately darkened, "Rachael, this is the company. Do not cross the line. Since the matter has been addressed, I will not expel you, who contribute nothing to our company!" As Everly spoke, she was about to push me away and leave.
I held Everly's hand with strength. My face raised and smiled at Everly, "Ms. Everly, if I remember correctly, you were the one who accused me of shamelessness and being with many men in front of the crowds two days ago without any evidence... And you almost fired me without giving me a chance to prove my innocence. Don't you think you owe me an apology?" I narrowed my eyes and stared at Everly. Everly trembled fiercely, and then said with a confident voice, "Why should I apologize?"
I took a step forward and raised my volume, "Because you humiliated me in public and disrespected me!"
Panic flashed quickly in Everly's eyes. She tried to shake off my hand but could not move because I held her hand fiercely. I stared into her eyes and spat out the words, "Everly, this is your last chance. Apologize, now. Otherwise, you will regret it!" My eyes were filled with coldness. Everyone in the office did not even dare to breathe out for a moment.
Everly's another hand that was not held by me trembled fiercely. She clenched her teeth and said, "I am sorry!"
"Ms. Everly, apologies have to be sincere. Don't you understand this?" I exerted force on Everly's hand. Everly glared at me fiercely, but in the end, she said again, "I am truly sorry!"
I snorted and threw Everly's hand off, "Ms. Everly, you like Mr. Charles, but that is your own business. If you like someone, you pursue him. Do not try to do anything with Alicia behind me. If you play with fire, you will eventually get burned. This time is Alicia. You will be the next if you continue doing this!"
After I finished speaking, I directly took my bag and left work without looking at Everly.
"Rachael!" Emmalee ran to me angrily when I was about to walk to the bus stop. I looked at the high heels under her feet, which were almost 15 centimeters tall, admiring her ability of running so fast. Amazing!
"Rachael, what do you mean? You want revenge and you want to use me in your dirty trick? I will not fall for that!" Emmalee glared at me fiercely. Her eyes were filled with anger, showing her long-held anger. I smiled and looked at Emmalee. Before I said anything, Emmalee continued, "I told you, I already knew everything. Do not think that you can get away with it without saying anything. Alicia was the one who had a close relationship with Kaleb. I am warning you, the things between you and Alicia are between you two. If you dare to use me again, I will not make it easy for you!"
"Oh, it seems like Alicia and her cousin are so close to each other!" I crossed my arms in front of my chest.
"Alicia is my cousin. There is no chance that I would help you!"
"Then, dear cousin, why did you help me stop Kaleb from picking up Alicia's phone call in the afternoon?" I laughed.
In the afternoon, before Alicia was about to call Kaleb to slander me, I sent a pre-edited text message to Emmalee. The purpose was to ask Emmalee to try her best to stop Kaleb from answering the phone. At the same time, I told Emmalee that this call was made by a woman who was associated with Kaleb. If she could stop Kaleb from answering the phone, she would have a chance to take over that woman's position.
As for Emmalee, she did what I asked her to do!
And this was not strange at all, because I know Emmalee very well. No, it was the rooted evilness among the Cornell family. If there were benefits to pursue, she would try everything she could do. This rule applied to Marvin, Alicia, and Emmalee was of no exception.
Emmalee had haven enough of the days without money and that she had to fawn others. Therefore, if she could marry a wealthy man or could get money, she would do everything.
I looked at the marks on Emmalee's neck. They were clear signs that Emmalee had a sexual relationship with Kaleb to stop him from getting the phone call.
Of course, this was what I expected to see!
Emmalee was silenced by my questioning because there was no affection but only interests between Alicia and her!
I smiled, walked in front of Emmalee, and held her hand, "You have already made your choice, haven't you? We should just cooperate!"
Emmalee pulled her hand away, "What exactly do you want to do?"
I smiled happily, "You know clearly what I want to do!" I approached Emmalee and spat out the words, "I want Alicia to lose her reputation and suffer the most tragic torture in the world. She should live the rest of her life as if she were in hell!"
Emmalee was shocked. She looked at me as if she did not recognize me. Of course. In her eyes, I was always the one that could be bullied and humiliated without any resistance.
"However, this is my goal, not yours. Emmalee, money is the most important thing in this world. I believe that you know it the best. Only the rich and powerful one could be in charge. Otherwise, those without power can only live with misery and let others look down on you!" I said slowly.
Emmalee's expression gradually disappeared. I knew I said what she had been thinking the whole time. She never lived with money and power since she was young, and therefore she could only live under the shadow of the Cornell family. That was what she hated the most.
Emmalee hated Alicia, just like me!☐☐☐
