Chapter 108
Lucille took a sharp turn in her tone.
“If not for you both, he would’ve reached the national top tier long ago!
It’s you dim–witted dead weights that dragged him down!”
“You…” Harlan and David’s faces twisted with rage.
Whoever Jumps Out Is Trash
“Cedrick!
Come out and explain your viper!”
Harlan shouted furiously.
Cedrick touched the stinging scratch on his cheek, frowning as he stepped forward. “Stop changing the subject, Lucille. What do you want?
Just say it.”
“Yeah, Lucille…” Maricela sidled closer. “Lucille, David already said this footage isn’t court evidence. Why escalate and hurt the company?
Why not tell us what you want?”
Lucille laughed. “Whether it’s evidence isn’t up to you. What matters is that everything in this footage is true–facts shape people’s judgment!
Even if the court rejects it, won’t the public believe it?
I’ll just post it online and let the court of public opinion decide!
Let everyone see how Cedrick and his crew framed his wife to protect his mistress!
Then we’ll see whether this counts as evidence!”
“You’re insane!”

Harlan’s eyes blazed. “What do you gain from ruining Cedrick’s reputation, destroying the company, and making Maricela despised?”
“Me?”
Lucille smirked. “I gain satisfaction!
I want the trash publicly condemned!”
She raised one finger. “I didn’t name anyone!
Whoever jumps out is guilty!
Or maybe–all of you are trash!”
Maricela, Harlan, and David swallowed their insults, faces flushing with stifled rage.
“Fk this!”
Harlan rolled up his sleeves, cursing and ready to strike.
Lucille stood rigid, jaw clenched. Was he out of his mind–trying to hit someone at a police station?
Cedrick stopped him.
Officers barked warnings.
But as Cedrick restrained Harlan, the others erupted.
David hurled vile insults at Lucille while the receptionist and Lucy wailed, and the electrician pounded tables claiming innocence.
Chaos engulfed the station.
By now, as Lucille had said, regardless of the footage’s origin, the facts were clear–she was the victim.
Details needed investigation, but the outcome was undeniable.
Cedrick surveyed the bedlam, the noise near deafening. He inhaled sharply and roared, “Shut up!
All of you–shut up!”
