Chapter 2176
Tom was very straightforward. He did not beat around the bush before going straight to the topic.
“When I walked in, I heard you questioning Mai what proof she has that you’re the one who posted the fake news
online. She doesn’t have proof, but I do.”
“I asked IT to look up the IP address of the person who first posted that news online. I can tell you with certainty
that I know you’re the one who did it. Also, I called the police to let them handle this. You can talk to the police if
you have any questions later.”
Bill was standing at one side, and he took a few steps back as he was losing his head out of fear. He was terrified of
being implicated.
After Laura was stunned for a few seconds, she felt that Tom might just be scaring her, so she scoffed.
“You called the police? Whatever. I didn’t do it anyway. I’m innocent! Plus, if those things online are real, then it’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot fake news and there’s no defamation!”
Laura was extremely nervous on the inside, but on the outside, she was smiling coldly while pretending to be calm.
“Guys, I’m sure you’ve seen the news online. Look at what’s happening now. Mr. Lowe is showing such great
concern toward Maisie Davenport. Even idiots can tell that their relationship is out of the ordinary!”
As she said that, she rolled her eyes.
“They’re lying about knowing each other for 22 years. Their relationship is improper. Such things happen all the
time in the business world. Otherwise, do you think a fresh graduate like Maisie would’ve been able to enter such a
big company with her own skills?”
When Maisie saw Laura slandering her ability in front of everyone, Maisie started to get angry again. However, Ava
grabbed her and then retorted Laura with a solemn look on her face.
“I was the one who interviewed Maisie back then. She was hired because she fulfilled the company’s requirements
and has the ability to work here. It’s not like what you said at all, but you, on the other hand … Hmph.”
As Ava said that, she smiled while imitating Laura’s disdainful expression. After that, she peered at Bill who was
hiding in a corner.
“Laura, you and that certain someone should know very well how you joined this company.”
“Ava, you…” Laura was so mad she could not speak at that moment.
The employees on the side were all looking at this scene with wide eyes and astonished looks. They did not dare to
say anything at all, but they seemed to know what Ava was trying to say.
When Laura was about to quibble over this, two sets of footsteps sounded from the front of the office.
“Is Laura Pine here?” A deep male voice asked sternly.
Laura was stunned, then she looked at the source of the voice. She did not expect to see two police officers in
uniform walking in.
She did not expect Tom to have really called the police!
Laura was seriously panicking now.
“Who called the police just now? Which one of you is Laura Pine?”
“I was the one who called,” Tom answered calmly. Then, he shot a glance at Laura whose face was turning white.

The police officer nodded and walked in front of Laura.
“Laura Pine, this man reported to us saying that you slandered the reputation of another person and committed
plagiarism. Not only that, but you also worked with an employee of the company to embezzle the company’s
money. Please come back to the station with us for further investigation.”
“…” Laura did not know that there would be so many charges against her. She wanted to retort but all of them
were real.
“No, I didn’t do those things! Officer, you have to look into this!”
“We’ve already obtained concrete evidence, so you have to come with us.” The police were very stern about this.
Laura was really panicking now. “Why should I go with you when I never did any of those things? If you want to
arrest someone, go arrest them! The boss of the company is in an improper relationship with his employee!
Shouldn’t you arrest them and educate them for doing such a thing that’s so morally destructive? Plus, he’s also
the president of such a huge company!” “So you’re that woman who started the rumors about my precious
daughter and son!”
