Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 271 I've Made a Police Report

My eyes widened in shock when I heard Dad's words. I asked, "Why should I?"

Jack sneered and pulled out the video clip of me going to the Simpson residence on his phone. "Why don't you tell us? Don't you know what the entire internet is saying about this video? What will happen to the company's image if you continue to handle it?"

"But I did nothing of the sort," I responded nonchalantly. "I've been going to Mr. Simpson's place because I promised to make him lunch for a certain period of time. After that, he'll collaborate with us."

At the next moment, silence hung over the meeting room. It was as if everyone had agreed on a reaction beforehand. They were uncharacteristically united.

Dad looked heartbroken. "Of course, we do. It's just that—"

Mr. Linden nodded and went along with him. "Exactly. What you did isn't important. It's what everyone sees that counts."
