Chapter 425
Constance immediately hung up and opened Facebook. The top trending news was about Felix sexually harassing an employee.
She clicked on it, and the comments were all cursing Felix.
[I used to think he was handsome, but he did something so disgusting. He should just die!]
[Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he has capital? We may not have the power, but we can unite and put pressure on him. We must get the truth for that deceased girl!]
[People like him, I don't believe he only targeted one girl. There must be other victims. This poor girl just happened to have a mental breakdown and chose to end her life to expose his true nature!]
[I now suspect that all the pretty female employees at the Clinton Group have been harassed by Felix. I suggest the police investigate each one thoroughly!]
Seeing those comments cursing Felix, Constance's face turned icy cold.
She dialed a number and said in a deep voice, "Do me a favor."
Ten minutes later, Facebook's servers crashed.
Constance looked at the phone screen showing the server crash, exited the app, and dialed James's number.
"Is Felix in custody now? Have you hired a lawyer?" Constance asked.
"Ms. Drake, the lawyer and I are following up at the police station. I'll update you on the situation later." James's tone was urgent, and he hung up immediately after speaking.
Constance pursed her lips and directly asked Tom to find out which police station Felix was being held at.
Half an hour later, seeing Constance appear at the police station, James couldn't help but frown.
Earlier, when Felix was taken away by the police, he specifically instructed James not to tell Constance which police station he was at. He didn't expect Constance to find out on her own.
Constance looked worried. "How is he now?"
James's face looked grim. "Things might be tricky. The police found some evidence at the workstation of the employee who committed suicide that is unfavorable to Mr. Clinton. The lawyer is still negotiating with the police to see if we can get Mr. Clinton out on bail."
Constance's expression was icy. "Have you investigated that employee? Who has she been in contact with recently?"
"Not yet."
Seeing James's serious expression, Constance didn't blame him. After all, he had been with Felix for so long, and it was normal to panic in such a situation.
She dialed Tom's number and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you a name. Find out what she's been doing in the past three months and who she's met with."
Meanwhile, in the president's office of Vertex Holdings Group.
Thomas, Bella, and Julian sat on the sofa, all with smug smiles on their faces.
Julian couldn't help but express his admiration to Thomas, saying with satisfaction, "Mr. Clinton, you're really something. Not only did you get Felix sent in, but you also diverted public attention. Those people online have finally stopped cursing the Redstone Group."
Thinking about how he was scolded for being an unfit father and how people wanted to boycott the Redstone Group's products because of Constance's Facebook post, he couldn't help but feel angry.
But thinking about Felix being in custody, he smiled again.
Thomas's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Julian. If it weren't for the fact that Julian was his daughter's grandfather and still useful to him, Thomas wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
"Mr. Redstone, don't forget what you promised me when I agreed to help the Redstone Group. If there's no concrete action soon, I can withdraw my investment in the Redstone Group at any time," Thomas said.
Julian's face changed immediately upon hearing this. Previously, the Clinton Group and the Drake Group had been constantly suppressing the Redstone Group because of Constance. If they lost Thomas's investment, the Redstone Group wouldn't be able to develop in Thundertop and might even go bankrupt!
He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Clinton, rest assured, I'll expedite it."
"Then I'll be waiting to hear your good news." Thomas downed the glass of red wine in front of him and looked at Bella. "It's almost time for work. You and Mr. Redstone should leave first. It's not good if people in the company see you here."
After Bella and Julian left, Thomas called Jason in.
"How's Felix doing?" Thomas asked.
"Mr. Clinton, he's still in custody at the police station. But if there's no stronger evidence, he should be bailed out today," Jason replied.
A cold smile appeared on Thomas's lips, and his eyes were filled with hatred and malice.
"Have Mandy Zane's parents and relatives been brought over?" Thomas changed the subject.
"They're here now, waiting outside the police station."
"Alright, the best way to deal with an enemy is to repeatedly give them hope and then crush it."
Seeing Thomas's sinister smile, Brian couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Clinton, don't forget that my master wants the key. As for your grudge with Felix, you can settle it later."
Thomas lowered his eyes, which were cold.
"I understand. You can go back to work now. Remember to send people to continue talking to the Clinton Group's shareholders. If the negotiations don't go well, I'll make the Clinton Group go bankrupt!"
"Understood."
After Brian left, a cold glint flashed in Thomas's eyes.
The feeling of having someone watching him all the time was very unpleasant.
But for now, he still needed Scorpio's help to get back at Felix. Once he dealt with Felix, he would slowly get rid of those annoying people around him.
Felix's lawyer negotiated with the police for several hours and finally succeeded in getting Felix bailed out.
Seeing Constance, Felix's cold gaze turned to James. "Didn't I tell you not to let her know which police station I was at?"
Constance spoke up to explain for James, "Don't blame him. He's been busy with your matters, and I found out on my own, not from James!"
"I'm fine. You don't need to worry. Don't you have work today? I'll have James take you there."
Even at this moment, he wasn't concerned about himself but was worried about her work. Constance felt both angry and heartbroken.
"I took the day off. I'll stay with you and help you handle this."
"No need. I can handle it myself, and I don't want to drag you into this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Constance looked at him disapprovingly. "When you're fine, I'm with you. When something happens, I should stay away? What do you take me for?"
"I don't want this to affect you. Constance, please, I can handle it."
Constance shook off his hand and said coldly, "If you won't let me help you, then there's no point in us being together!"
In her heart, being together meant sharing both good and bad times, facing everything together. Felix pushing her away at this moment made her feel insignificant to him.
Seeing Constance about to leave, Felix quickly grabbed her, his tone somewhat helpless. "Alright, but you just need to stay by my side. You don't have to do anything else."
Constance was still a bit unhappy but nodded. "I understand."
Seeing the two reconcile, the lawyer finally dared to step forward. "Mr. Clinton, Mandy's family has already filed a lawsuit. I need to gather evidence to prove you didn't harass Mandy, which may require investigating your recent activities."
