After riding the elevator upstairs, Le, apanied by the police, went straight to the nning Department. Amid the stares of the department members, she knocked on the door of the manager’s office.
As the door opened, the man inside first looked puzzled, then smiled at Le. “Miss Patel, what’s this about?”
Le remainedposed. “Mr. Knox, there’s a case about a video. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation.”
Mr. Knox’s expression tensed slightly. “That matter… Alright,e in.”
He stepped aside to let Le and the police enter. “I’m not quite clear about that incident either. I saw it in the work group chat. But I’ve already instructed everyone in our department to delete the video and ensure it doesn’t spread…”
“I may not have been clear enough. I’m referring not to the gossip video, but to the video of you bribing a waitress at the hotel to drug me.”
As Le spoke, Mr. Knox’s face turned pale.
Le spoke openly in the nning Department’s office area. This caused a stir among the people, and discussions broke out.
“Is what Miss Patel said true or false? Did Mr. Knox drug her?”
“Impossible, right? Mr. Knox and Miss Patel seemed to have a good private rtionship. They even went out to dinner together a few days ago. I thought Mr. Knox was pursuing Miss Patel.”
“It doesn’t look like it’s fake. Miss Patel brought the police with her.”
Hearing the discussions, Mr. Knox staggered slightly. “Miss Patel, is there some misunderstanding here? What waitress? What drugging? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Facing this, Le turned to the police behind her. “Sir, I need your assistance.”
The leading police officer nodded. “That’s what we’re here for.”
He then focused his gaze on Mr. Knox, showing his police badge and saying sternly, “Sir, any further discussion should take ce at the police station.”
Mr. Knox recoiled. “I haven’tmitted any crimes, why should you take me to the police station?”
“I can sue you for this. Just because you’re police officers doesn’t mean you can act recklessly.”
“You took me away like this and ruined my reputation in thepany. How will I continue to work in thepany in the future?”Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
The leading officer signaled to the other three officers, who stepped forward to stop Mr. Knox and escort him away.
Watching the police escort the man into the elevator, Le tightened her hand slightly at her side and then turned to walk towards her office.
Her assistant rushed over. “Miss Patel, Miss Patel!”
Le halted. “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Lee is looking for you.”
Le frowned. “I’m aware.”
With that, she handed her bag to the assistant and took the elevator to Mr. Lee’s office.
Mr. Lee was furious. He mmed his hand on the desk, making a loud ‘thud’ sound.
Observing this, Le couldn’t help but marvel at the quality of the desks at Nova Group.
After pounding the desk, Mr. Lee pointed at Le. “You, you…”
Realizing his rudeness, he withdrew his hand, crossed his arms, and seethed, “Le, you… Thepany hired you with a high sry to create value, not to cause trouble.”
“Yes, I admit you’re capable. You’ve closed several major deals in just a few months, but even so, you can’t turn thepany upside down just because you’ve done some good work.”
Mr. Lee had just heard about Le bringing the police to thepany. Before he could inquire, he received reports of the nning department manager being arrested.
He hadn’t even finished exining yesterday’s video scandal to his boss, and now there was an even bigger problem.
“Exin!”
Le had anticipated this when she reported to the police, so she remained quiteposed.
She took out a USB drive from her pocket and ced it on Mr. Lee’s desk. “Mr. Lee, you should take a look at this first.”
Mr. Lee nced at the USB drive with a furrowed brow. “What’s this?”
Seeing his hesitation, Le took the USB drive and plugged it into hisputer. She opened it and turned the screen towards him.
As the video yed, Mr. Lee’s expression grew darker and darker.
Once the video ended, Mr. Lee’s anger subsided, leaving only a grim expression on his face.
“Why didn’t you report this to me when it happened?”
Le remainedposed. “Mr. Lee, this is my personal matter. I believe I have the right to handle it as I see fit.”
Mr. Lee. “…”
Le continued, “I admit I’ve caused you a lot of trouble recently, and I’m sorry for that. But ultimately, the fault lies not with me.”
