Chapter 371
Lucia glanced at Aurelia, puzzled. “Ms. Simmons, what do you want then?”
Aurelia pulled out her phone and tapped on Eva’s Instagram account. “Ms. Hanks, using her IN Magazine Fashion Director certification, keeps posting personal attacks and slander against me. Yet your company hasn’t intervened. Can I assume you’re condoning her actions?”
While she aimed to leverage Lucia to eliminate Eva, wasn’t the magazine publisher’s indifference to Eva’s actions equally harmful to her?
Trying to shake off Eva now wasn’t as easy as she thought.
Lucia glanced at Aurelia with a hint of surprise. She had initially pegged her as someone with just a bit of cleverness. But, it seemed she was actually quite impressive, holding others accountable right after utilizing them. Her courage had nothing to do with her adorable face.
Even so, Lucia couldn’t help but admire Aurelia. With a bit of guidance, she was destined
for success.
Lucia remained composed. “So?”
Aurelia had prepared something of her own. She immediately took out a proposal from her bag. “Ms. Lawson, please take a look.”
When Lucia saw the proposal, both she and Leslie were stunned.
Aurelia was undoubtedly the most passionate worker Leslie had ever encountered among women. Despite being fired, she hadn’t abandoned her plans.
Aurelia added, “I’m aware your magazine publisher has been organizing a charity event for women lately. But if allegations of slandering women, or even coercing confessions, were to surface now, I question whether this event should proceed.”
Upon hearing this, Eva pointed angrily at Aurelia. “Who do you think you are, trying to threaten us like that, Aurelia?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Aurelia glanced at Eva and spoke calmly, “Ms. Hanks, I could either be the mediator for this meeting or the one who’s been wronged. It’s up to you how you want to approach this.”
“You!” Eva gritted her teeth and glared at Aurelia. “Aurelia, do you think you’re all that?
Just because-”
“Wait a moment,” Lucia interrupted Eva abruptly. Then she pointed to the proposal on the table. “Ms. Simmons, did you actually write this?”
“Yeah, but it’s just a first draft.” Aurelia nodded.
“Share your thoughts.” Lucia gestured.
“Okay,” said Aurelia.
After Aurelia finished speaking, Eva stepped forward to intercept Lucia. “Ms. Lawson, are you out of your mind? She’s here to make trouble, and you’re actually backing her?”
Lucia spoke firmly as she accused Eva of reckless behavior, “Ms. Hanks, let’s face it. Most of the trouble seems to be coming from you, doesn’t it?
“The police have already issued an investigation notice. Do you really think those influencers you reached out to will still have your back at this point? They’re probably too busy trying to protect themselves.
“And trust me, it won’t be long before angry netizens come banging on the magazine publisher’s door. Do you really want the president to come back and find his hometown under siege? Or do you have a better plan?”
Even with Eva’s background, nobody dared to support her.
With no response from anyone, Eva, feeling frustrated, resorted to a sneaky move.
She tried threatening again, “This is IN Magazine’s turf. If we catch Aurelia trying anything fishy, what can she do to us? If she doesn’t sign the liability waiver agreement today, we’ll…”
