Jessica's face twitched.

Her usually confident and arrogant gaze showed a hint of terror.

“I think you should just be honest, or this matter will never be resolved.”

A sarcastic voice came from the elevators beside them. Victoria had arrived quietly as she lazily leaned against the wall.

Jessica was so angry that she was trembling.

This woman is Bailey's best friend. How would this matter be easily resolved now that she has gotten involved?

Victoria waved her phone before Jessica and smiled. “As Mr. Luther has gone on a site visit and is not at the headquarters today, this matter may not have reached his ears yet. I will call and have him personally come over if you don't tell the truth.”

Jessica was speechless.

Quentin massaged his brow before walking to Victoria to tug on her arm. “For God's sake,” he muttered, “could you stop stirring up sh*t? Look at how many reporters are here. You'll ruin the company's reputation if you carry on with your nonsense.”

Raising her eyebrows, Victoria snickered. “What does that have to do with me? This company isn't mine, anyway. Artemis should be the one to worry about his reputation. None of this is my concern.”

Quentin gaped at her, at a loss for words. Growing up with Mr. Luther offers one special privilege. She's not even afraid of offending Luther Group.

Pointing at Victoria, Jessica fumed, “You're Bailey's friend. What right do you have to be speaking here?”

Victoria chuckled coldly. Is this woman trying to change the subject? That wouldn't do. I'd promised Bay to teach her a lesson.

“Yes, Bailey is my friend, and I'm defending her. You could call it defending a plagiarizer if it makes you happier. However, there is one thing I must warn you of. Before the trial verdict, you had best watch your filthy mouth and stop yapping false accusations.”

Then, she turned to address the group of reporters. “Under the misguidance of others, this stupid woman has told you that Bailey was in Century Hotel to use you to rattle her. You were just tools used by her for her grudge. A woman with conduct as poor as this is no different from Bailey.”

“Y-You...” Jessica was so furious that her body swayed on the spot. She could not even form proper sentences.

Letting out a snort, Victoria remarked, “You wanted headlines, didn't you? Here's one—'Colleague Makes A Scene: Luther Group's Chief Designer Jessica Tanner Jealous Of Bailey Jefferson And Leaked Her Whereabouts To The Press In An Attempt At Sabotage.' Go back and flesh this story out. I guarantee it will be a hit upon publishing from which you will earn a lot.”

The crowd of reporters was deathly silent at that proclamation.
