Chapter 175 Clara's Fate!
After Victoria went to the hospital, Alexander returned to the company, Vertex Holdings Group.
Victoria was completely unaware of the video circulating online showing her "pushing" Clara down the stairs, or that all the videos had been taken down.
However, even if she knew, she wouldn't care about it.
"Mr. Howard, we found out that it was the government officials who took down those videos," Quentin said.
Quentin, who had just received the news and was still in disbelief, didn't dare to delay and immediately came back to report.
Government officials?
Alexander sat, his expression darkening; his eyes narrowed, brows furrowed, exuding a powerful aura.
After a long while, a faint, indescribable smile appeared on Alexander's face.
Quentin didn't understand but didn't dare to ask.
He never expected that Victoria had government officials backing her.
On the surface, she seemed to be just an unfavoured daughter of the Kennedy family and the CEO of a company, but in reality, her identity was far more complex.
"I see. Is Victoria still at the hospital?" Alexander asked.
"Dylan just sent a message saying she has already left," Quentin replied respectfully.
Although the videos were taken down, people online were still relentless, pressuring major media outlets and the police for justice, claiming that Victoria pushed Clara and caused a life to be lost, and that she should be held responsible, regardless of her wealthy background.
Most of these people were parents, generally siding with the victim.
At six o'clock, the Ridgefield police officially released a notice: [At 12:58 PM today, an incident of 'pushing someone down the stairs causing a miscarriage' occurred at a restaurant. The police investigated and found that Victoria was not involved, and Clara also admitted this herself. Thank you to all the concerned netizens; Ridgefield police will always uphold justice!]
Netizens were confused, but since the most authoritative source had spoken that, they had nothing more to say.
However, this left them with endless speculation.
If Victoria didn't push her, did Clara slip?
Everyone knew that the restaurant's floors were carpeted, even the stairs, so it couldn't have been slippery, right?
Victoria was currently on the phone with Lila.
"No, I just don't get it. Is this matter just going to end like this?" Lila was so angry she didn't know what to say. She was very dissatisfied, having seen firsthand how netizens had accused Victoria.
While Victoria thought the outcome was quite good.
After this incident, Clara would likely be much more restrained, especially since she had lost Lucas' trust, which was more painful for her than losing her reputation.
"Rather than letting the netizens know what she did, Lucas is the one who can truly make her suffer, and that's enough," Victoria said.
Amid Lila's incessant complaints, Victoria calmly said this, and Lila immediately fell silent.
"That does make sense." Lila suddenly realized, laughing gleefully.
Victoria helplessly laughed along.
Then Lila asked a puzzled question, "Dear, right after Clara's incident, someone immediately posted a video online showing you and Clara seemingly arguing at the restaurant, but it was taken down shortly after. And from the beginning to the end, no media outlet dared to report on it, nor did any reporters show up. Logically, this should be a newsworthy event, right? They shouldn't miss this chance."
Victoria didn't know about the video.
But she had not seen any reporters or suspicious individuals at the hospital or near the police station.
At that time, she hadn't had time to do anything, not even check her phone, except to have someone send a message to Philip.
So, the only person who could have managed this was probably Alexander.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, Lila's voice rang out. "Looks like Alexander is quite capable, protecting you without giving anything away."
Victoria replied with a smile, "Of course."
After hanging up Lila's call, it wasn't long before her phone rang again. Seeing the caller, she was a bit surprised.
