"Go collect your paycheck, and then get out!" Thomas happed without mercy.

"Yes,"

The employee hadn't expected to lose their job so suddenly and was filled with regret.

Meanwhile, Lysanna stood frozen in place, her face pale. She attempted to arguc, "Mr. Stafford, it really was her who started it." Thomas' fury intensified.novelbin

"You have the audacity to stay here? Apologize to Mrs. Rainsworth immediately, or consider yourself my enemy."

Tears welled up in Lysanna's eyes. She knew she couldn't afford to offend Thomas.

Yet, she felt unwilling to apologize to Cecilia.

Cecilia hadn't expected Nathaniel to hold so much sway. With just a few words, he had Thomas stepping in to defend her.

Lysanna looked at Cecilia and begrudgingly said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Rainsworth. It was all my fault. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me." Cecilia didn't even glance at her. She picked up her vibrating phone and checked the message. It was the test report sent by the hospital.

As expected, traces of drugs were found in the water tumbler. The evidence was now conclusive.

"There's a saying online: if apologies were enough, we wouldn't need the police."

Cecilia calmly picked up her phone and called the police in front of everyone.

Thomas was a bit puzzled. For an altercation like this, calling the police seemed excessive. Handling it privately might have been more straightforward. However, as Cecilia spoke to the officer, everyone around her froze in shock.

"Last night, a colleague at my company drugged me and sent me to a man's room. I have surveillance footage and a hospital report as evidence." The murmurs among the employees began immediately.

"Oh my God! Wasn't it said that Cecilia went with Mr. Whitaker willingly last night? How has the story changed now?"

Lysanna really crossed the line. Drugging someone is illegal!"

"I can't believe she'd go that far. It's all because she's jealous of Cecilia's looks and her dancing skills."

"Jealousy destroys people."

"Cecilia, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. Don't call the police. My life will be ruined."

Cecilia showed no sympathy for her belated remorse.

"When you tried to destroy me last night, did you ever think about how my life could be ruined too? It's easy to disregard consequences when it doesn't happen to you, isn't it?" Lysanna clung to Cecilia's pants, sobbing uncontrollably. "I don't want to go to jail. Please, I'm begging you to let me go this once. It's not entirely my fault. Mr. Whitaker made me do it." "Hah. Save those words for the police," Cecilia said coldly as she stepped back, shaking off Lysanna's grip.

Seeing no hope, Lysanna turned to Thomas for help.

Thomas rebuked her harshly. "How could you do something like this? And you expect me to help you? If I did, wouldn't that make me complicit?"

All hope lost, Lysanna collapsed onto the ground, utterly defeated.

Not long after, the police arrived and took her away.

Cecilia also went along to provide her statement, and naturally, Nathaniel followed her.

Cecilia looked at him curiously: "Why are you coming too?"

"I'm worried about you being there alone," Nathaniel replied.

"Thank you for helping me today, but I can handle the rest myself. You don't need to trouble yourself further," Cecilia said cautiously.

She remembered Nicholas's words and tried to maintain her distance from Nathaniel.

Nathaniel felt a sharp pain in his chest at her distant tone, as if a part of him was missing.

"We're married. It's no trouble at all."
