Chapter 1308


    Charles was incredibly flustered as his cheeks were a burning shade of red. “You people are ndering me! | never did


    anything!”


    “Heh... You''re the one who wronged her in the first ce! You tried to take advantage of her because she’s pretty. I''ve seen


    plenty of men like you.”


    Charles wanted to charge at them.


    Sylvia and Christopher quickly held him back.


    Sylvia spoke up and directly addressed Odell, “Odell, | believe him. He‘d never do something like that.”


    DI


    The people who were against Charles kept their mouths shut when they saw Sylvia speaking up for him again.


    Odell zipped his lips into a thin line with a serious expression.


    Shermaine suddenly said, “Mrs. Carter, do you have some kind of bad impression of me? Do you think I''m someone who would


    use him without any grounds?”


    She seemed very vexed by the situation. Sylvia frowned deeply. She had not forgotten what Shermaine had done for Madam


    Carter but the fact that Shermaine was now standing next to Odell in a getup that


    was nearly identical to what she herself was wearing roused a strange, repulsive feeling inside her.


    While she was pondering over what to say, Cliff suddenly spoke up, “Ma‘am, | know Shermaine well enough. | don''t think she‘dN?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    lie.


    Sylvia turned to Odell again.


    He spoke atst, “I trust Shermaine too.”


    He spoke in a deep and unfaltering voice.


    Shermaine cast a wounded look at Sylvia as if to call for justice.


    Everyone was casting the same look at Sylvia. It was as if they were using her of standing up for her colleagues without


    considering the reality of the situation.


    Sylvia clenched her hand into a fist. Perhaps she had been falsely using Shermaine this entire time as well? She felt a


    suffocating feeling rising in her chest as she turned to Odell for his verdict. “How do you n to handle this?”


    LIT


    Odell nced at the hotel manager. “We''re taking this to the police. Let them deal with it.”


    “Alright.” The hotel manager took the hint and promptly asked, “Master Carter, who are we bringing to the police?”


    It seemed like he was having a hard time deciding who


    was guilty here.


    Odell darted a look at Charles. “Him.”


    The hotel manager left after that.


    Charles was infuriated by the decision and lost his mind as he yelled like a madman, “Odell, | never did anything to her! What


    right do you have to point your finger at me? Just because she’s your secretary? Are you on her side because there‘s something


    more to your rtionship with her?”


    He continued advancing toward Odell. It took several men to hold him back this time.


    Adark gloom suddenly washed over Odell''s face.


    Sylvia was just as caught off guard by Charles‘ remarks.


    Everyone fell into an awkward silence.


    LLLLLL

    Shermaine suddenly scuttled away from Odell to keep some distance from him. She dered coldly and affirmatively , “I''m only


    Master Carter''s secretary. I''m doing nothing but honest work for him. He‘s someone with a family. Hell, his wife is standing right


    next to you! You using me of something I''ve never done is one thing, but using Master Carter is an entirely separate and


    unforgivable matter!”

    There was no longer any remnant of sanity in Charles’ mind by this point. “You look just like Sylvia except you''re younger than


    her. Who knows why Odell is


    keeping you around the office as his secretary? Judging by how cunning you are, | wouldn''t be surprised if you dug your ws


    into him already!” 2


    “You... You have no idea what you''re talking about!” Shermaine cried out and charged at him. It looked like she was going to


    strike him.


    It was Cliff who rushed forward and stopped her.


    He dragged her aside and tried to calm her down. “Don''t be rash. He''s all out of options and is trying to make up any excuse to


    distract us from what he’s done. Don''t fall for it.”


    Charles eximed, “I was wronged! | never did anything to her. I''d never do anything as disgusting as that!”


    Christopher patted him on the back. “Charles, calm down.


    With that, he turned to Odell. “Master Carter, Charles has been teaching at our academy for seven to eight years by this point


    and | know him very well. He has a good sense of humor and is very popr with all of the students and has never been in any


    scandals involving female students. Based on my years of professional teaching experience, | can assure you that he’s not


    someone who would do anything vile as molesting a woman.” Odell seemed sullen by this point. He looked at Sylvia and did not


    utter a word.


    Someone in the crowd sneered and said with scorn in his voice, “Heh... Impressions can be wrong. I''d suggest you stop


    defending him.” “Besides, look at him. He’s a grimy pervert no matter how you look at him.“
