William? Rape?

Chapter 421

The young girl, fearing disbelief, quickly widened her eyes and said, “It’s true. The whole company is buzzing about it. They say that it was Sue who reported it under her own name, claiming Mr. William is tied to her daughter’s death.”

Brielle was rooted to the spot, stunned. It took her a full minute to regain her composure before she chuckled and shook her head. She refused to believe that William could have anything to do with Sue. After all, William wasn’t Ryan; he wouldn’t leave such a scandalous trail.

Brielle set down her cup, trying to fathom Sue’s motives. If Sue was just spreading rumors, and the police cleared William’s name, he certainly wouldn’t let Sue off the hook with his temperament. He might even silence her permanently. And at the very least, Sue would face arrest and charges for defamation. Why would she take such a reckless step?

“Ms. Haywood, you must find it hard to believe, too. We were all discussing it. We thought Mr. Dorsey was such a gentleman, but who knew he could be such a person in private? Poor Sue has already suffered so much, only to face this too.”

In the video, Sue was entirely presented as a victim – a meek, pitiable figure, devoid of any defiance. She bore the brunt of humiliation and physical abuse without uttering a word in retaliation. It was a glaring testament to her chronically timid nature.

If such a woman was daring to bite at the high ranks of Dorsey International, then her words must’ve held a measure of truth. And the public always prided itself on moral high ground, with a penchant for filling in the blanks. They would naturally rationalize Sue’s actions. A weakling who dares to fight back is to be encouraged and praised. The public would not hesitate to side
