Chapter 368
Everyone assumed Eva would withdraw the report. However, she unexpectedly gave Aurelia a smug look and shook her head.
“I won’t be withdrawing my report. After all, I’ll still hold Aurelia accountable for dropping the necklace. If it weren’t for the conflict between her and Kimberly, how could the necklace be broken? She still needs to bear responsibility for it,” she insisted.
As long as she could make Aurelia pay for it–even if it was just one–fifth of it–it would still be enough to financially ruin Aurelia.
As long as she could do that, she would be able to achieve her goal.
Aurelia bit her lip, momentarily unsure how to counter Eva.
Although the situation had taken an unexpected turn, no one expected that Eva seemed to have prepared a way out in advance.
Therefore, Eva still had the right to hold Aurelia accountable.
Although she wasn’t directly responsible for the incident, she could still be held accountable for the damages.
In short, it was Aurelia’s fault for being associated with the supposed main culprit, Kimberly, and also being the one who personally dropped the necklace.
Besides, Aurelia was also the one who willingly accepted Eva’s request to retrieve the box of jewelry.
Therefore, it would be difficult for her to extricate herself from the situation.
While she was at her wit’s end, Leslie slowly stood up and walked toward her.
“We intended to hold IN Magazine and Eva accountable as well,” he declared.
Eva sneered, “Are you out of your mind, Leslie? What right do you have to hold us
accountable?”
“Although I don’t have the right, Aurelia does. Please take a look at the documents I have before we proceed,” he said simply.
After saying that, Leslie took out the documents and passed them to Lucia.
When she looked through them, Lucia’s eyes widened in surprise and her expression
quickly turned grave.
“Eva, you’d better give us a good explanation for this!” she demanded.
“Huh? Why should I have to explain anything?” Eva asked, confused.
Eva stepped forward, her eyes quickly scanning the documents before her expression turned incredulous. “No! This can’t be true!”
Aurelia was puzzled. What could have caused such a reaction?
Right as she was about to step forward, Eva snatched the documents from Lucia’s hands.
Eva frantically rifled through the documents. After going through them three times, she suddenly lifted her gaze and glared fiercely at Aurelia.
She shouted, “There’s no way this could be true! It must have been forged! I refuse to believe it! Go get the lawyer right now! I’ll definitely make her regret this!
“Aurelia, you’ve just made your situation much worse by attempting to forge something like this. I’ll make sure you end up behind bars!”
Eva confidently shook the documents in her hand.
Before long, Eva’s lawyer, Lewis Sandler, rushed into the room.
Eva handed the documents to Lewis. “Please examine these and prove to Ms. Simmons that I’m not that easily fooled!” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Got it, Ms. Hanks,” he said.
Lewis meticulously read through the documents, leaving no detail unchecked. He even grabbed his phone for a quick search, his face growing more worried with each result.
In the end, Lewis sneakily glanced at Aurelia before approaching Eva and whispered, ” Ms. Hanks, I’ve checked it-”
“Speak up, Mr. Sandler. We must make sure that Ms. Simmons understands the consequences of forging documents. We can’t have her accusing us of mistreating her later on,” Eva said haughtily.
Lewis tentatively responded, “There’s no problem with it.”
Eva exclaimed in disbelief, “What did you just say? That’s impossible!”
“Although thou’re just confes all the necessary documentation is present “Lewis said.
Eva uttered through gritted teeth, “That’s impossible-”
At that moment, Leslie interjected, “Since Ms. Hanks is still unconvinced about it, why don’t we hear what our lawyer has to say?”
