Chapter 1037: Chapter 1017: The Scheming Bitch is Exposed!

Before Hanny Josh could finish speaking, Bella Gordon abruptly cut her off.

"So, Mrs. Thompson, considering Mr. Thompson’s reputation and moral values, it would be rational and just for him to dare not lay a finger on Josh Group!"

Hanny Josh had thought that after Bella Gordon watched the video, she would invariably be moved, at the very least, show some mercy. To someone who wasn’t lacking in money and had no competitors, reputation was naturally the most important thing. Moreover, both the Gordon family and the Thompson family’s reputations had been very good over the years; therefore, Hanny almost concluded that Bella would protect this reputation and let her off the hook, after all, nothing had happened to her yet!

Aren’t all the kindhearted and naive female leads in TV series like this?

Overflowing with sympathy, so Bella Gordon must be the same!

But what she didn’t expect was...

"What if my husband has already acted against your Josh Group, what then?"

With a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, Bella Gordon handed her phone to her, then spoke lazily, "What is reputation? I’m not aware of it. All I know is, whatever my husband does is right! I’ve said my piece, I can go now, right?"

What an international joke, thinking a few indecent photos could trigger her overflowing sympathy. She is not some naive girl; a vixen like her shouldn’t be sympathetic. Back then, her mommy sympathized with Yuri Sanders, letting her daddy let her off, which almost cost Auntie Lina her life. Such lessons needed to be learned.

"Bella Gordon, you stop right there!"

Hanny Josh never expected Bella Gordon to speak so assertively and especially after seeing the photos and videos she took. Is the top socialite of Andras City not concerned about her reputation at all?

"Now, I’m the one at a disadvantage, and I’m also the one not pursuing responsibility. Can’t you just leave a way out for others? After all, I was the victim that night, and nothing happened to you, Bella Gordon. Don’t be so ruthless in your dealings, or else..."

"Or else what?!"

Hanny Josh had not finished her anguished cry when Bella Gordon swiftly turned around, "Or else you want to kidnap me just like they do in TV series? Let me tell you, Hanny Josh, I’ve already given you face. Take the hint and quit while you’re ahead!"

"How would my photos be in your possession if I simply went to the bathroom? Clearly, someone used an aphrodisiac in the bathroom and then clung to my man, and it was your doing. The Rino Hotel videos can’t be obtained, so that’s why you had someone secretly take photos. If I’m not mistaken, you must be in cahoots with Adrian Watkins. Once she succeeded in her move against me, you could then present these photos and videos to my husband, claiming that I wasn’t drugged and assaulted, but went with a man willingly. To be exact, I was already involved with him. That way, after Brother Roy was made a cuckold, he wouldn’t need to sympathize with me, and you’d have your chance to make a grab for him, wouldn’t you?"

Shock, shock!

Unbelievable, unbelievable!

Lina Miller’s eyes widened inch by inch, shock after shock rippling through her heart. She hadn’t expected that a woman would, after only seeing one video involving her, manage to reveal all of her thoughts in one statement. That woman, merely having outgrown her youthful innocence, exhibited a nimbleness of thinking that matched hers, a seasoned player in the business world.

Having her thoughts laid bare, Lina Miller couldn’t speak for quite some time.

"What’s the matter? Lost your words, huh? Let me tell you, Lina Miller, don’t use the little tricks you learned from petty business against me and Brother Roy. Great achievements come from sincerity. Josh Group, after all these diligent years, still only counts as a third-tier elite, and the reason is simple: too clever by half, thinking you’re something special when you’re actually nothing in others’ eyes!"

"If you have the guts to play dirty with others, then have the guts to face the consequences, right? If the person you schemed against today were a regular employee, would you think you’ve scored someone else’s husband? Chose the wrong target today and now you’ve to face the consequences, starting to talk about reputation, huh? How embarrassing, reputation is something only those with a moral baseline understand. A person like you, who failed to steal someone else’s husband and then resorts to underhanded tactics against his wife, how could you understand that?"

"Also, Lina Miller, I forgot to tell you one more thing—I, Bella Gordon, always abide by a principle in my dictionary of life: do not trouble others if they do not trouble me, but if troubled, I shall return it a hundredfold! Especially for someone like you, without a moral baseline, you deserve such treatment. As for whether my husband wants to acquire Josh Group, that’s a business issue. Besides, Shawn Group doesn’t know how many companies it acquires in a day. If everyone were uncooperative like you, should we even continue running our enterprise? With your kind of character, if Josh Group was acquired, those employees of yours are probably clapping behind the scenes, finally seeing the sun, because our Shawn Group has always put people first, respecting employees and focusing on their wellbeing. So, you’ve wasted your efforts, decisions made by Brother Roy are pointless for you to contest. Goodbye, oh, never to see you again!"

Having said all that in one breath, Bella Gordon turned her head and walked straight out of the coffee shop, heading upstairs to work, leaving the petrified woman sitting there dumbfounded. It took a long time for Lina Miller to recover from those words before her face slowly twisted with resentment!

Kidnapping?

This woman really dared to say such things?

She’d better not push me too far; if I dare to say it, I dare to do it!

But she hadn’t anticipated that after meeting Bella Gordon, she’d fail to find a solution and instead make things even worse, leaving no chance for turning back. Since her failed negotiation with Roy Thompson yesterday, Josh Group’s share prices had been falling. The shareholders’ stocks had all gone into Roy Thompson’s pocket overnight. Some employees hearing the rumors either quietly looked for other places to work or outright resigned!

She had really underestimated Roy Thompson’s combat power. In just one day, he had almost brought down half of Josh Group.

It was clear that Roy Thompson was ruthless, but she hadn’t expected Bella Gordon to be even more venomous. The deviousness that she was so proud of was laughable in front of Bella. It seemed she couldn’t outsmart her; all that was left was to see who was more ruthless. If they pushed her to a dead end, she was prepared to go down with them. What was the point in living if years of hard-won gains from numerous battles were to be lost in an instant?

All day long, Bella Gordon’s mind had been preoccupied with those photos and videos of Lina Miller, and when she thought back to the news she saw yesterday, she basically understood their intention. However, if she released those photos or videos, it would really look like she had put a green hat on Brother Roy, wouldn’t it?

She didn’t care, as the innocent has nothing to hide. But naturally, it would look different in other people’s eyes. With her making a scene, it was not only Brother Roy’s face that was lost, but the face of both the Gordon family and the Thompson family!
