Chapter 147 Poisoned
It was Janetta's competitor, Stella Egan.
Stella would do everything that Janetta did. Janetta held an art exhibition, and Stella held one too. Janetta released a design draft, and Stella did too.
Some clerks liked to curry favor with powerful customers.
Pearl chose thedress for Janetta and she would not let anyone take it away.
Pearl immediately pulled out the black card given by Oscar from her bag. "I'll take the dress."
Pearl took Janetta's hand and walked out of the fitting room.
There was no need for Janetta to even try it on.
The point was to outshine Stella.
The moment Stella and the salesman saw the black card, they were both shocked, especially Stella, who was very angry. "You're just a secretary. How dare you flaunt your boss's black card?"
Stella was a top VIP of the store.
Janetta was talented, but in terms of money and power, she couldn't compare to Stella.
Pearl was just a secretary!
"Watch your mouth!" Janetta couldn't hold back any longer. Stella had been copying everything she did and she was even smeared by Stella's crazy fans.
Now Stella was causing trouble in front of Janetta and trying to humiliate Pearl. Janetta couldn't stand it!
Stella crossed her arms, a cold smile appearing on her face."Am I not stating the facts? Isn't she showing off with her boss' card? Or is she Oscar's wife?"
Given Oscar's status, if he was married, he would have held a grand wedding.
"Or, you're Oscar's mistress!"
Her sarcasm was evident.
Pearl was furious.
Before Pearl could do anything, Janetta stepped forward and slapped Stella.
Janetta used all her strength, causing Stella's head to turn to one side.
Stella covered her left cheek. "Janetta, how dare you hit me? Do you want to die? I'm going to kill you!"
Then, Stella lost control and lunged at Janetta.
Stella and Janetta started to wrestle.
Pearl couldn't let Janetta be bullied by Stella, but Stella started shouting nonsense, "Help! This is a murder."
Stella's shouts immediately attracted many people.
Pearl and Janetta were two people, while Stella was alone.
Sure enough, someone in the crowd kindly called the police. The police arrived and the three of them were taken to the police station. The video of their fight soon went viral online.
Someone recorded the entire process.
Some netizens pointed out the black card in Pearl's hand. [Look! Pearl is holding a black card. Stella wasn't wrong; she was flaunting it!]
[Lady above, did you finish watching the video? If I've taken the dress, then you can't take it from me, or it's called robbery, even if you have the highest level of membership. Poor people also have the right to be angry.]
The people online immediately split into two groups, arguing fiercely.
There were also neutral voices, [Both sides are wrong. The rich one was arrogant, but that's not the reason for the other person to use violence.]
[I understand friends should help each other but in the video, it looked like they were bullying the lady on her own.]
[Stop arguing! Whether she's a mistress or not has nothing to do with us! We should just worry about our own business!]
[A mistress flaunting a black card? That's hilarious. I was wondering how someone so young could be the CEO's secretary. Turns out she got the job by sleeping with him!]
[Pearl is quite something. At the last party, Mr. Brown got very angry just to avenge her. And you might not know this, but Haley was pushed out by Pearl!]
[Really? If Pearl is so powerful, why hasn't Oscar married her?]
[Do you think it's that easy to become a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family?]
In the end, people online were all criticizing Pearl, even posting her obituary and slandering her terribly.
Haley, however, was extremely pleased.
At this moment, Haley put on a show, opening the nutritional supplements Pearl had sent.
They were liquid vitamin supplements.
Haley had Mae prepare them, and less than half an hour after taking them, Haley was writhing in pain on her bed and immediately called Oscar.
However, it was Halley who answered the phone.
Halley's voice was as cold and formal as ever. "Miss Garcia, what can I do for you? I will pass your message."
"Mr. Lewis, I'm poisoned. Where's Oscar? I took some liquid vitamins and I am feeling sick now!" Haley said forcefully.
Halley could tell that Haley was indeed very weak.
Halley had no choice but to respond, "Miss Garcia, Mr. Brown is currently in a meeting. I will inform him as soon as it ends."
"Thank you, Mr. Lewis. Haley's condition is very bad right now." It wasn't Haley's voice but her assistant Mae's.
Halley responded with a low voice, "Okay."
However, Halley also noticed a news notification on his phone; Pearl was currently embroiled in a public scandal and had even been taken to the police station!
On one hand, there was Haley, the life-saving benefactor Oscar valued, and on the other, his wife Pearl. Halley had no choice but to enter the meeting room and whisper in Oscar's ear.
Oscar's face instantly turned grim, and his voice was cold and emotionless. "Meeting adjourned."
Oscar stood up and walked out, his tall figure exuding a chilling aura.
Halley followed behind him. "Mr. Brown, are we going to the hospital or the police station?"
"The police station," Oscar said coldly, and then hurried away.
At the hospital.
Haley called Hathaway.
Hearing Haley's weak voice on the phone, Hathaway immediately asked worriedly, "Haley, what's wrong with you?"
"After drinking the liquid vitamin supplements, I felt unwell. When the doctor came, he told me I was poisoned." Haley's voice grew weaker.
Hathaway's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy.
Liquid vitamin supplements!
The nutritional supplements Hathaway had Pearl send were liquid vitamin supplements.
Pearl had actually poisoned the liquid vitamin supplements!
Hathaway comforted Haley, saying, "Haley, I'm so sorry. It's my fault. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this poisoning incident!"
Hathaway immediately called Pearl, but was met with an automated message, "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable."
And then she glanced at the TV and saw [Famous company secretary arrested for fighting!]
