The manager, who had accepted a bribe of 150 thousand from Samantha, was quick to deny any wrongdoing. Nervously, he laughed, “No, no, we would never engage in such activities.” However, his guilty demeanor was impossible to hide.
Ezekiel sneered, “In that case, your whole company can forget about escaping. Wait for
my lawyer to arrive.”
“Sir, this has nothing to do with us! We were just following the manager’s orders.”
“That’s right, we were just doing what he told us to do during the morning meeting. He found these articles for us, and we were only responsible for uploading them!”
The employees immediately turned against the manager, pointing fingers at him. The manager broke out in a cold sweat.
Harmony was determined to find the person behind the scenes. She seized the opportunity to say, “Sir, it seems you can take all the blame. If you’re not sentenced to three to five years, I’ll be surprised.”
Cold sweat began dripping down the manager’s face, and he quickly turned to Harmony. “Miss Mayo, how about we settle this privately? Our company is willing to compensate you 150 thousand and issue a public apology immediately. What do you say?”
“Do you think I’m short of money?” Harmony responded coldly. “I won’t settle this privately, and I don’t want money or an apology. I just want you to serve five years in prison.”
“No, no, Miss Mayo…” The manager certainly didn’t want to go to jail.
“Tell me then, who’s behind this smear campaign against me?” Harmony stared at him.
Ezekiel didn’t intervene, knowing that Harmony could handle this better. The manager, realizing he could no longer hide the truth, finally confessed, “It was… It was Samantha. She called me this morning to smear you. I was just doing what I was paid to do; I didn’t really want to smear you.”
Harmony clenched her fists. Samantha.
“Do you have evidence? Hand them all to me.” Harmony demanded.
“Yes, I have text messages, her voice recordings, and the record of the money transfer. I didn’t delete anything. I’ll screenshot everything and save it for you now.”
The manager quickly found a nearby computer and sent all the text messages, Samantha’s voice recordings, and the money transfer record to Harmony After receiving the USB drive, Harmony turned to the manager. “If I need you to testify, don’t try to evade it. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”
“I wouldn’t dare, Miss Mayo, I’ll testify immediately if you need me.” The manager quickly responded, hoping to shift the trouble onto Samantha.
After Harmony left with the evidence, the manager’s assistant quickly handed him a piece of paper. “Here, sir, wipe your sweat!”
The manager heaved a sigh of relief. “I didn’t expect Harmony to be so tough!”
At this moment, Samantha, having lost the job of seducing Ezekiel, was planning to move on to other men as she was running low on funds. In such a tense situation, she still spent 150 thousand to smear Harmony, which pained her greatly.
Just as she was in the spa, the police came knocking on her door.
“Are you Samantha Leiderman?”
Samantha was startled and quickly opened her eyes. “How can I help you?”
“Please get dressed and come with us.”
Samantha had just spent tens of thousands on maintenance, but what came after her wait now was the police. She considered herself law- abiding. Even if she did seduce men, it wasn’t illegal either!
“What do you want with me? I’m a law-abiding citizen.”
“You’re involved in a case of defamation through monetary transactions. Come with us!” the officer said.
Samantha was shocked. “What? How is that possible? I’ve never done such a thing.”
To avoid being forcibly taken away by the police, Samantha had no choice but to cooperate and get into the police car. At the same time, she quickly contacted her agent to come to the police station to bail her out.
On the way, Samantha racked her brains but couldn’t figure out what law she had broken, and it wasn’t until she walked into the police station and saw Harmony getting out of the car that she was completely stunned.
