“You… you… stop spreading lies, Bella! How could Bella fall for Charlotte’s tricks?
This fake news was fabricated by her friend who specializes in writing for social media. Moreover, the photo itself is a fake, with no actual evidence, and it’s even pixelated.
Furthermore, the accompanying text of this so-called news is ambiguous, without mentioning specific individuals. Miss Pittman from Spicurity Group, but it doesn’t explicitly point fingers at anyone. Who dares to say it’s defamation?
Legally speaking, no one can claim their reputation has been damaged.
So, this article, at most, is just a tidbit, not specifically targeting anyone. But for Charlotte, it’s undoubtedly a heavy blow. All the suspicions in the office have fallen on her!
This is where Bella’s cunning lies. She knows that this fake news cannot be definitively categorized, and Charlotte has no evidence to accuse others of defaming her.
After all, they didn’t explicitly mention her!
Do you have any evidence to support your accusation of defamation?
But how will people in the office perceive it? Whom will they believe?
Without explicitly pointing fingers, everyone can guess who it is!
This is a psychological blow!
Charlotte’s reputation is ruined.
Charlotte gritted her teeth and said, “Bella, words carry responsibility. Do you have any evidence to claim that I am the person in question? And based on a piece of fake news, you dare to spread rumors here!”
“Believe it or not, I will sue you for defamation?”
Bella sneered, “I’m just relaying what the news said to everyone. What do you mean by defamation? Charlotte, actions speak louder than words! You know it yourself!”
“Also, this news doesn’t specify which Pittman employee had an affair with top management from another company. Why are you so agitated?”
“Is it because the guilty are afraid?”
Charlotte also looked at her coldly and said, “Since the news didn’t explicitly mention that person is me, what makes you assume it’s me? Or is this fake news something you orchestrated?”
After Charlotte finished speaking, she scanned the room with her cold gaze and said, “Firstly, I want to make it clear that the person in that photo is not me, and I have never been to a hotel with any top management!”
“This news is purely defamatory and fabricated! As colleagues, I warn you all not to spread rumors!”
“Otherwise, I won’t show any mercy! Spreading rumors and causing significant damage to someone’s reputation is enough to land you in trouble for a while!”
“Furthermore, I will find out who wrote this article. I would love to see who has the audacity to speak such nonsense!”
Charlotte sneered, “If it were just an ordinary journalist or paparazzi, how could they know so much and directly target Spicurity Group, a specific department, and a female colleague…”
“How coincidental!”
“I walk a righteous path and sit upright. But don’t let me find out who is defaming me behind my back! I will make that person pay! Also, let me tell some unrelated people that until everything is revealed, don’t gossip carelessly. Otherwise, some gossipmongers will find their names on a lawyer’s letter!”
Charlotte’s tone was domineering, exuding a queen-like aura. The people in the office looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say, and could only awkwardly lower their heads and pretend to work.
Bella suffered a hidden loss and was unwilling to let it go. She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright then, since you have nothing to hide, let’s go ask Mr. Garza for confirmation!”
Bella secretly thought that she and Jaeden had already coordinated their testimonies. This time, they would completely expose this woman’s true colors.
With a cold laugh, she dialed Jaeden’s number and put it on speakerphone!
