Although Autumn found it a little puzzling, she still got up and headed to the president’s office to deliver the documents.
She’d heard her fair share of gossip in the company but had no intention of getting involved.
People who looked at others through tinted lenses only believed what they wanted to see.
They would never believe a word of explanation from the person involved.
From her experience, the more one tried to explain, the worse it looked.
They’d just assume she was guilty and too afraid to admit it.
So, she chose not to explain.
She would let the rumors grow because when the truth finally came out, it would hurt even more.
The elevator reached the tenth floor, and just as the doors opened, Autumn saw Luna and Jasmine walking out of Ethan’s office.
It seemed their conversation hadn’t gone well; both of them looked upset.
The moment they saw Autumn, they froze.
Clearly, neither of them expected her to be here.
As Autumn walked past Jasmine, she glanced sideways at her and said, “Jasmine, don’t think the internet forgets. What you did back then-people still remember.
“Someone like you, who bites the hand that fed her, never ends well. Don’t you agree p>
Every time she saw Jasmine now, she couldn’t help but think of the day her uncle was wrongly imprisoned, and how broken he looked after he got out.
Just thinking about it made her want to strangle the woman standing in front of her.
But she couldn’t.
Murder was a crime.
And throwing her life away for someone so vile just wasn’t worth it.
Jasmine turned pale at her words.
She hadn’t expected Autumn to still remember what happened after all these years.
She gripped Luna’s hand tightly, her voice trembling as she said, “Autumn, you better watch what you say. If you have proof, then show it. If not, I have every right to sue you for defamation.
“If this blows up, you’ll have to take legal responsibility p>
Chapter 106
Back then, she was only thirteen or fourteen-far too young to understand anything.
She simply did whatever her parents told her to do.
Because of the help George Fang had once given their family, her parents set their sights on him and framed him for molesting a minor.
It was all part of a scheme they orchestrated themselves.
Their goal was to extort money, planning to settle the matter privately for a payout.
No one expected George to insist on his innocence and choose prison over paying a cent.
Eventually, the court ruled in their favor, and the Fang family had no choice but to hand over compensation.
She’d just been too scared.
For a long time, guilt gnawed at her.
She had tried to persuade her parents, but they refused to listen and insisted on going through with it.
The worst time was when she begged her father in tears to stop, but all she got in return was being locked up without food for days.
Eventually, she gave up resisting.
She let things spiral because she couldn’t do anything about it.
What she didn’t expect was for things to get so out of hand that George ended up in prison.
After taking the money, her family moved to a neighboring city and didn’t return until a couple of years ago.
This was the first time in ten years that she and Autumn had crossed paths, and it just had to be under these circumstances.
“What did I even say to make you so worked up p>
Autumn stepped closer to her, a mocking smile tugging at her lips. “What’s wrong? Feeling guilty already p>
If she had the evidence, she would’ve thrown them all behind bars long ago.
There’s no way she’d let Jasmine walk around so freely.
It was only because she didn’t have proof that she’d held back.
So, for now, Jasmine could enjoy a few more easy days.
But the good days of bad people were always numbered. Once she got the evidence, their time would be up.
