Chapter 250 Who Do You Fancy
Standing at a similar stature to Daniel, she elevated her height with a pair of seven-centimeter high heels. Combined with today's icy and alluring makeup, her aura alone could effortlessly overshadow him. "Since you seem so certain, why not elaborate on the specific gentlemen whose company I allegedly kept to secure my current standing?"
Daniel pretended to be calm with a stiff neck. "What do you want to do?"
"Of course, it's to invite these leaders here and confront you publicly. I don't know anyone influential, so I had to ask Caleb for help."
It was impossible to invite those busy big shots. They wouldn't bother to show up for such trivial gossip? But scaring him a bit was still feasible.
"It remains uncertain whether the one to lose face in the end will be you or me, the individual seemingly reliant on connections to stand in this place according to your accounts."
To deal with someone like Daniel, admitting what he said was more humiliating than confronting him head-on. Being surpassed by someone who had no skills and only used their body to climb up could really get to him.
However, Winona valued her reputation and didn't want to deal with him in a way that hurt herself. It wasn't about revenge but about not letting this bad person drag her into the dirty mud pit.
She had reached where she was today based on her true talents and skills, and no one could insult her career and integrity with such matters.
Although society claimed to be gender equal, there were still trashy people who thought women rose in status by sleeping around, and Daniel was one of them. She wanted to show him that women were not inferior to men, that they were equally capable, resourceful, and ambitious and didn't need to rely on such shady methods to succeed. The reason why most successful people in society were men was because most women had made sacrifices for their families and children.
Daniel looked at Caleb. "How can you make a fuss over such a trivial matter? Besides, I don't follow you around all day. How would I know who you've been with?"
"So, you're just making baseless accusations?" Winona turned her head. "In front of so many respected elders, you can insult women casually, and behind their backs, who knows what ill words you have spread about others. You are exactly the type of trash who blame women for being raped just because of how they dress."
Daniel's face blushed with anger, his chest heaving heavily, and he gasped for breath. "No matter what, I am still your elder. In terms of age, even if I couldn't be your father, I could be your younger uncle. Is this how you talk to me? It's simply disrespectful."
"So, I've decided to handle this in a more civilized manner to avoid people thinking I lack manners. Your words have seriously damaged my reputation. By tomorrow at the latest, you should receive a letter from my lawyer."
Daniel had lived for most of his life without even stepping into a courtroom, let alone hiring a lawyer. His first reaction was, how much money would it cost to hire a lawyer? But facing someone younger than him, with a higher position, in front of so many people, he couldn't bring himself to apologize.
Winona couldn't care less about what he was thinking. After confirming there was nothing else to discuss with Caleb, she left.
After work.
Rebecca invited Winona to dinner, and since she still had to work hard at the Watson Group, they chose a restaurant nearby.
Seeing Rebecca looking downcast, Winona asked, "What's wrong? Why the long face?"
Rebecca recounted the story of Anthony coming to the store to buy things that day, "His grandfather is turning eighty and wants to find an antique. I've been asking around for him these days. My mouth is about to blister."
"I think with your personality, you wouldn't want to do business with him, right?"
Rebecca waved her hand. "We're adults. There's no lingering grudge. It's all because of his abilities. In our line of work, we're bound to encounter a few difficult people. The more friends, the more paths. I have to make more friends, especially with capable people like Anthony. Besides, he's also someone who gets things done with money. If we really held grudges, it should be against Zachary..."
She even mimicked his expression. Then she suddenly remembered she had taken money and paused before saying. "The culprit."
Winona smiled slightly.
"Fiona has been going through a rough patch lately, struggling to find her place anywhere. Rumor has it she's once again preparing to go abroad, but it seems she doesn't meet the requirements for immigration, so she can only apply for a tourist visa."
"You're keeping an eye on her?"
"It's not me, it's my mom. She knows about the grudge between you and Fiona, so she asked around during those housewife gatherings and then asked me to pass on a message to liven up your spirits. "
Winona smiled, "Please thank your mom for me."
Rebecca leaned in. "Winona, has Zachary been pursuing you recently?"
Although she hadn't seen Zachary pursuing a woman before, he was transferring money to Winona and helping Winona repay her debts. If it weren't for pursuing her, it would be like being a sucker.
Winona replied, "It seems so."
"Then, Zachary, Matthew, and Austin, who do you like more?" Rebecca leaned in, blinking curiously.
Winona also leaned in like her. "I'm not interested in dating right now. I don't have any special feelings for the three of them. I want to find out who was behind the incident that harmed my mother. Dating would only distract me."
Rebecca gave her a thumbs-up. "Great. I'm not into marriage either. When we're old, we can retire together."
Winona smiled, "About that question just now, who prompted you to ask?"
Caught off guard, Rebecca awkwardly smiled.
A man's voice came from the next table. "She was asking it for me."
Upon hearing this voice, Rebecca's expression changed instantly.
