Coco was frustrated, "I just can’t stand you little worms who spout nonsense everywhere. My sister is so tolerant and doesn’t want to pick a fight with you, but you just carry things too far!"
"Carry things too far? I had to laugh, not to mention this, but now Charlotte’s ’brilliant history’ is all over the internet," the woman speaking sneered, provoking Charlotte with her gaze, and continued, "If she dares to do such things, why can’t we talk about it?"
The woman who spoke was called Amelia Forbes. Despite the grace suggested by her name, her words lacked any semblance of tact, and she was adept at mocking others. The source of thɪs content is novel⦿fire.net
"How much truth can there be online?" Coco clenched her fists, "You only acknowledge what you see on the internet, and you don’t even bother to verify the truth. You just spread rumors at will."
Amelia Forbes sneered and looked at Coco with playful eyes.
"Stop trying to vindicate her. Charlotte’s reputation is completely ruined, and those talking about her aren’t only in our design department." She blinked slowly, "You can confront us, but can you silence the voices across the internet? Can you?"
Hearing this, Coco’s face fell, rendered speechless for a moment.
As if suddenly remembering something after she finished speaking, she turned her head: "Oh, this reminds me of that celebrity Charlotte got locked up a while back...What was her name again?"
Her eyes brightened as she remembered, "That’s right, Evelyn Curtis. She is not only good looking but also very competent. Plus, she was Mr. Battleson’s fiancée, and she was on a smooth path to stardom."
She paused slightly and licked her lips: "Only ’was’, but her future got ruined by individuals as cruel and ruthless as Charlotte. And now, isn’t Charlotte about to take over Evelyn’s position? Should we interpret this as premeditated?"
As her words drifted off, Amelia blinked and turned towards her colleagues in the design department, raising her voice slightly, "Do you all agree with what I said?"
Laughter broke out across the room, indicating their agreement with Amelia and their disdain for Charlotte.
Charlotte, who couldn’t be bothered to listen to their jeers, had long since returned to her office.
Coco trembled with rage, "All that stuff about Evelyn Curtis is ancient history now, and it’s Mr. Battleson’s prerogative who he dates. Why do you all assume it was my sister running after him?"
"You claim Evelyn was harmed by my sister, but let’s be honest here. Why would my sister, who has no grudge against her, sully her hands with such actions?"
Facing Coco’s reasonable clarification, Amelia shrugged dismissively, "Who knows? Coco, you are still too naive. Some people are capable of anything for their own gain."
"We only believe what we see and perceive."
"You are just burying your heads in the sand!" retorted Coco, "Deep down, all of you know that there’s more than meets the eye. But driven by jealousy, you oppose my sister at every turn."
She shut her eyes, no longer wishing to argue, "The truly malicious ones here are you."
With that, without waiting for Amelia to speak, she turned and went into the office.
In the office, Charlotte was busy tidying up, her expression inscrutable.
Still fuming, Coco flopped down on the sofa and promptly relayed everything to Charlotte.
