Chapter 1320 The Trick Was Seen Through
The moment she noticed Brandon and Janet coming together to go after her, Vivi's tail tucked between her legs. They looked like they would personally take her to her company to demand an explanation. It made her quiver in fear.
Hastily standing up, she said, "Please don't bother, Miss White. I'll handle the conflict with my company myself. If you forgive me, I promise this will be the end of it."
Vivi wasn't in touch with her company anymore. She didn't dare approach them, even. Ever since her involvement in paying Internet trolls to tarnish Janet and falsely accusing Mandy was exposed, her company cut ties with her. She had been completely abandoned.
However, despite Vivi's strong refusal, Janet wouldn't let her go. "Vivi, you don't have to worry about causing me trouble. I've always detested these sordid companies and I'll stand up for employees like you who have been exploited. Don't burden yourself with guilt. We'll consider it as a public service."
"No, I really don't..." Vivi trailed off. A flustered expression appeared on her face.
With a serious tone, Janet said, "Well, as you have mentioned, your company was the one that defamed me. I want to seek justice. If your company is targeting me, I will face them head-on and not let them go!"
Brandon nodded in agreement. "That's right. My wife has been humiliated and I won't let the masterminds behind it run away freely. Rest assured that we'll protect you, Vivi. We'll sue this
company until it goes bankrupt."
The more they said, the more anxious Vivi a became. She bit her lip, trying her best not to cry out.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
She desperately scanned the crowd in hopes to find the man who had accompanied her earlier. Perhaps he could help her out. Otherwise, she would be digging her own grave.
Only then did she notice that the man she was looking for had been seized by Brandon's bodyguards. He was now pinned to the corner, unable to move.
Vivi instantly realized that Janet had long seen through her scheme.
The only reason Janet acted compassionate toward her was so that she would reveal her true intentions.
No amount of calculating and scheming would outsmart Janet. Vivi had lost before she even started.
She despondently hung her head. "If Miss White doesn't want to forgive me, then so be it. I'll come again another day to apologize. I won't give up until you forgive me," she promised, her voice laced with sadness.
Now that she said it, the only thing she wanted to do was slip away.
However, it would be impossible for Janet to let Vivi off so easily. At her signal, the bodyguards intercepted Vivi.
Several tall and sturdy, cold-looking bodyguards blocked Vivi's path. With a fake smile, the head of the bodyguards said to her, "Miss, Mr. and Mrs. Larson haven't told you to leave yet."
Brandon appeared from behind, speaking slowly. "Vivi, what's the rush? As our witness, we need you when we sue your company in court. Your testimony is crucial."
With several fierce-looking bodyguards surrounding her like towering walls, Vivi trembled in fear. Brandon's words were enough to make her regret
going after Janet. She shouldn't have caused her any trouble.
If she hadn't been so jealous that she paid Internet trolls to smear Janet, it wouldn't have come to this. She wouldn't have suffered such a devastating fall from grace. She would have held her head high instead of being treated like a social pariah. No one would have pointed at her and gossiped about her.
But it wasn't only that. Her involvement in such a heinous act led to her company abandoning her and demanding huge liquidated damages. If she couldn't come up with enough sum to pay, she would end up in jail.
That was also the reason why she came to Janet today in an attempt to frame her again.
But there was no use regretting it now.
The only consolation Vivi could get was the guarantee that they wouldn't be able to do anything to her. Confronting Janet outside the hospital where a lot of people could see was a bright idea. Even Brandon would not dare hurt her in the face of public eyes.
