Chapter 284
Jenny felt a surge of anxiety as she realized what Pearl might have uncovered about her. The thought of Pearl discovering her dealings with Lawson Enterprises terrified her, raising fears. of being ousted from the company or, worse, facing legal consequences.
A staggering 130 million dollars was at stake, and if her attempt to take down a company was exposed, she would be thrown into jail!
Jenny had been fortunate to receive support from some of her colleagues. They came to her defense, saying, “Even though she has a false identity, she’s a good person who has helped me a lot.”
“Yes, she helped me finish my work.”
“She was there for me when my son was sick.”
It was obvious Jenny won the hearts of a few people in the room, and they began advocating on her behalf.
“You’re going to help her twist the truth just because she helped you?” Pearl found it amusing. “Why do you think I want to hurt the company?”
Everyone seemed to ignore the logic and were solely focused on defending Jenny. One person. stated, “Well, show us some evidence. We don’t believe Jenny would engage in such actions, as she’s a kind-hearted person. You, on the other hand, as the president of Cerubleu, might have infiltrated the company to eliminate Waldorf, making it easier for Cerubleu to expand.”
Pearl knew they didn’t know who Jenny really was, so she handed the information to her assistant to distribute to everyone there.
“These are phone records between Jenny and Lawson Enterprises. There are quite a few of them, and each of the numbers is linked to their executives.”
She then added, “Also, Jenny gave the owner of the factory 110 thousand dollars to destroy all the products. The owner accepted it out of greed, but when I mentioned taking legal action, he confessed everything. We have the owner’s confession and thumbprint.”
Everyone read through the information and had to admit their mistake. Jenny was nothing like who they thought she was.
“Do you know how much trouble you’re in, Jenny?”
Jenny abandoned her pretense because she knew her charade was over. She began crying and turned to Richard. “Mister Richard, can you let me off? I look so much like your first love.”
Richard felt disgusted. “Am I supposed to spare you because you resemble her? You’re too presumptuous, Jenny.”
Richard watched her cry, and his past came to mind. He not only felt no sympathy but also grew irritated. “I have no feelings for her anymore. Didn’t Hugo tell you?”
Jenny froze, unable to believe what she had just heard.
No, Hugo had told her that Richard still couldn’t let go of his first love, implying that she could escape punishment due to her resemblance to her. Why had their plan backfired?
Jenny, confident until now, was nothing more than a young girl. Witnessing Pearl’s
determination, she felt her legs go weak. “I’ll tell you everything Lawson told me. Please let me go.”
Pearl was familiar with all the underhanded tactics their rival company might use, and she had no interest in any of them.
How could they dare send someone as clueless as Jenny? They clearly didn’t regard her as an essential pawn but rather a useless tool. How could she possess any top-level secrets?
Pearl scoffed and shook her head. “There’s no need for that, Jenny. You can tell all that to the police and see if they’ll let you go.”
The police? Jenny saw black and started feeling dizzy.
The police officers soon arrived and took the dejected Jenny back to Lawson Enterprises.
