Chapter 100
It was so humiliating. I didn’t even know how I managed to say that. I should have been the victim’s family member, but here I was, the first one being shoved into a police car.
After saying those words, I couldn’t bear to lace anyone anymore, so I hung up. I just hoped Jeremy wouldn’t take it to heart, though I knew he wouldn’t be coming anyway,
In front of the police, I carefully explained everything that had happened. I knew how important Clara’s reputation was, but I also knew that if I didn’t set the record straight, she’d be swallowed up by rumors.
People like Wilbur and Dexter would stop at nothing to get what they wanted, using any dirty trick they could.
I couldn’t be there for Clara all the time, but the only way to fight back was to keep speaking up, relentlessly.
I said, “Wilbur was the one who tried to assault my sister. That’s why I smashed his car. He took her into his car when she was completely drunk, out cold!”
Wilbur shot back immediately, “Stop talking nonsense! Your sister was the one who came on to me.
“She’s just an intern–if she wants to make it in the company, she’s got to use every opportunity, even if it means sleeping with me. She’s the one who started it, so why are you blaming me?”
I didn’t let him off the hook. “Oh, really? What project would require her to ‘sacrifice‘ herself for a promotion? If she really wanted to get ahead, why didn’t she come to me instead?
“Between my skills and what I have, I’m ten times better than you. Don’t you know that? I’m her real sister, closer to her than you
could ever be. Do you really think your excuse is going to hold up?”
My anger was reaching a boiling point. “Wilbur, you already have a reputation for harassing female employees at the company. Go ask anyone there–they all know the kind of person you are!
“Not only that, you’ve been sleeping with your subordinates‘ wives, using your position to exploit them for your sick needs.”
He laughed in a creepy way. “Is that so? Your husband’s also my subordinate, so does that mean I’ve slept with you too?”
“You-
“Ah, I see now.” He smirked. “You’re just mad because you saw me with other women, huh? Jealous? You pathetic, loose woman–thinking you’re some kind of prize.”
My chest tightened with rage. In that moment, I wished someone would step in and protect me. But there was no one. I was completely alone.
I sneered. “You really should take a look in the mirror. You look like a toad from a filthy gutter–no one would want you, not even if you paid them.
“Look at you with your fat face and pig ears. You’ve made all that money, but you don’t even think about getting a facelift or losing some weight. Just looking at you makes me
sick.
“Jealous of you? You must have eaten something rotten to talk such garbage.”
“You–Sylvia, you slut!” He lunged at me, but the police officers quickly grabbed him, holding him back before he could reach me. The scene got chaotic, almost out of control.

Wilbur managed to calm down a bit and sneered, “Either way, you damaged my car first. You’ll be paying for it. It’s an BMW
-costs over 300 thousand dollars with everything added up. You’re going to pay, just wait.”
I was about to respond when I suddenly heard Jeremy’s voice behind me. “Pay for it? Ms. Moreno was just acting in the public interest, stopping a crime. She doesn’t owe you a single penny.”
I turned around in shock and saw him–tall, poised, and looking effortlessly elegant in just a simple shirt, his presence almost glowing in the dim night. For a moment, I regretted letting someone like him get caught up in this mess with my family.
“This is the evidence.” He handed me a video.
