Chapter 85 What Was Susanna's Identity?
Susanna looked at Allison lying on the ground and said, "You should have pursued a career in the entertainment industry; it's a pity for your acting skills."
Allison looked at her with resentment. "Susanna, you are feeling guilty. How do you explain getting that contract?"
At this moment, everyone was looking at her.
Susanna remained calm, walked over to the daughter of the old man, and whispered, "Because I know there are issues with the land where your family invested in and opened a golf course. If this matter is exposed, your family's company probably won't fare well."
"How do you know about this?" The older man's daughter suddenly became alert. After all, not many people knew about this matter; only those within their circle could be aware of it.
However, Susanna was just a designer; how did she know about these things? What exactly was her identity?
Susanna replied lightly, "That's not important. I want to say this is why I was able to smoothly secure this design contract and leave your father's villa."
The older man's daughter hesitated for a moment, finding it hard to believe Susanna's words.
However, there were some issues with that piece of land; at least Susanna had some background.
After the older woman finished pondering, she turned around and slapped Allison. "No wonder you could make my father so happy. It turns out you are so dishonest. Let's see how I deal with you today."
Nevertheless, she couldn't rock the boat with Susanna, so she decided to go after Allison. After all, there were photos as evidence, and the truth was already clear.
Allison looked incredulous, wondering how Susanna could easily get away.
She thought, 'What did she say just now?'
Allison felt despair, looking at her colleague, with whom she had a good relationship, for help. "Save me, call the police for me!"
The female colleague hurriedly hid aside. "So it was you spreading rumors that led to our studio being slandered, causing my date to fail. I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Another female colleague also spoke angrily, "Allison, no wonder you always pretend to be rich. It turns out all that money comes from being a prostitute. Someone kept you, yet you shamelessly spread rumors and slander Susanna. You really shameless!"
For a moment, no one was willing to stand up for Allison, and some even felt she deserved it.
On the other side, Dick saw no one stepping forward. As the boss, he couldn't let anything happen to Allison in his studio. He could only helplessly say, "Stop; if she is in danger, you will all be in trouble. After all, this is a society ruled by law."
The woman stopped upon hearing this, still somewhat angry. "Fine, I'll take her out."
Dick breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
At this moment, Allison, with blood all over her face, looked at Dick. "Save me!"
Dick felt awkward but remained silent.
After all, when he saw those photos, he finally saw Allison's true colors. She was so malicious to slander Susanna, pretending to be innocent all along. She was morally corrupt!
Allison, disappointed, withdrew her gaze and crawled to Susanna on her knees. "I didn't do this on my own; I did it according to Elaine's instructions. This has nothing to do with me."
Susanna took a few steps back. "While these photos are not fake. I gave you a chance this morning, but you refused it yourself. Who can you blame? This is called reaping what you sow."
Allison looked at the photos on the ground, recalling what Susanna said when she overheard her phone call earlier. She now deeply regretted it.
If only time could turn back, but unfortunately, it couldn't.
Several black-clad bodyguards directly took away Allison, and the studio's lobby was a mess with a slightly awkward atmosphere.
After all, in the morning, Allison had tried so hard to tarnish Susanna's reputation, but in the afternoon, the truth came out. The older man had kept the person, who turned out to be Allison herself.
Dick cleared his throat and said to the front desk staff, "Have someone clean up the lobby. There's nothing much to do now; everyone can leave work."
Soon, only Dick and Susanna were left in the studio.
Susanna raised her head. "The truth has come out now, but this incident has still caused trouble for the studio."
Dick suggested, "Susanna, I have always known you are innocent, but I never expected Allison to be like this. The studio will state that it will dismiss Allison later. It's getting late now; after dealing with this matter, let's have dinner together tonight."
"Okay." Susanna replied, she also felt that she had caused Dick a lot of trouble that she couldn't refuse his invitation.
Soon, Dick went to the office to handle the matter.
She sat in her working spot outside, opened her computer, and saw the photos and videos she posted under a pseudonym, which had exploded in comments.
Thinking of Allison's fate just now, Susanna deleted these videos and photos. However, judging by their popularity, they had probably already been circulated.
At this moment, she saw a media influencer post: [Master Susan was envied by her studio colleagues, deliberately spreading rumors and slandering, but the truth was revealed after exposing the rumor-monger's videos and photos.]
Susanna clicked on the post, which clearly explained the origin of the rumors. However, the post should have mentioned that Allison was not the only participant.
At that moment, she also saw a related topic: A famous law firm in Novaria publicly sued a certain construction company's chairman and his family for defaming Master Susan and demanding a public apology.
Susanna was stunned to see the famous law firm: [This seems to be the law firm where Daniel works.]
Seeing her brothers defending her, she felt happy and touched.
So this was what it felt like to have a family!
It was great!
An hour later, Dick finished his work and came out of the office. "Susanna, the police need us to come over to close the case."
"Let's go."
Susanna was grateful that Dick believed in her under the circumstances that morning and reported the incident. Now she was determined to cooperate with Dick to resolve these matters.
After leaving the studio, they went straight to the police station.
After handling the matters, it was already dinner time. Dick said while driving. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I'm fine with anything; let's find a place nearby to eat." Susanna replied casually, she was a bit tired and wanted to rest early.
Half an hour later, Dick parked the car outside a restaurant and said to Susanna, "Have you hired a lawyer?"
Susanna looked at him, knowing that Dick was referring to the public legal letter. She replied, "My brother is a lawyer; he works at that law firm. He knew I was being slandered, so he wanted to clarify things for me."
Dick paused. "But aren't you an orphan?"
"Yes, but I found my family." Susanna replied.
"Really? That's great. But weren't you originally from Novaria?" Dick felt confused.
Susanna nodded. "Yes."
Dick remarked, "Your brother working at such a prestigious law firm must be excellent. Your original family must have been much better than your current foster family. Congratulations, you seem much brighter than before."
"Thank you."
Susanna also felt that she was in a better state than before.
As they entered the restaurant, she looked up and saw a familiar face.
The world was indeed very small!
