CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 476: VERBAL AND WRITTEN CONDEMNATION

However, Lucy Carter seemed suddenly provoked, sharply shaking off Evelyn Clayton’s hand, her voice piercing: "Let go of me!"

Evelyn Clayton was slightly startled and instinctively released her grip.

Lucy Carter glared fiercely at Evelyn Clayton and turned to run.

Just ahead was an intersection, and as Evelyn Clayton was about to catch up, she saw Rhys Jacobs driving his car across the intersection, blocking Lucy Carter’s path.

Franklin Ford and Rhys Jacobs got out of the car, eyes deeply fixed on Lucy Carter.

Lucy Carter immediately grew flustered.

She suddenly pulled out her phone, turned on the camera towards them, and removed her mask, revealing a beautiful and delicate face.

"What do you want to do? Kidnap me? Or threaten me?!" Lucy Carter’s voice was sharp, her whole demeanor like a spiked hedgehog, impossible for anyone to approach.

Evelyn Clayton had a headache and dared not act rashly.

She had considered all aspects, never expecting Lucy Carter to react so radically.

"Miss Carter, please don’t be nervous. We’re just here to ask about the situation." Evelyn Clayton signaled to the two to step back, cautiously approaching herself, "If you feel it’s dangerous, could you take me to your home, just you and me? You can bring an assistant, and we can talk privately, is that okay?"

However, Lucy Carter was unmoved, suddenly turning around, pointing the camera at Evelyn Clayton, and shouted loudly: "Everyone look, this is Evelyn Clayton, the CEO of Gem! She’s here with people to coerce me!"

After speaking, Lucy Carter suddenly put down the camera, lowered her eyes, and tapped her phone swiftly, then looked at Evelyn Clayton with a seemingly triumphant expression, holding up her phone.

"I’ve already uploaded the video of you following me online! If you aren’t afraid of public censure, be my guest!"

Her fluid actions left Rhys Jacobs and Franklin Ford in awe.

A nameless rage swept over Evelyn Clayton’s heart. She held back, making her tone even more gentle: "Miss Carter, if you don’t want to talk today, let’s do it another day, or we can have lawyers or officials as notaries, how about that?"

"Cut the crap!" Lucy Carter shouted, as if afraid that people in the shops and on the street wouldn’t hear, "You capitalists only know how to exploit the common people all day long! Now something’s gone wrong, you come begging for help, even using such vile means!"

Evelyn Clayton was speechless.

She almost suspected that Lucy Carter’s mental state was unstable.

At this point, it seemed there was nothing left to say.

She no longer paid any attention to Lucy Carter, walking straight toward the car under her wary and guarded eyes.

Rhys Jacobs hesitantly looked at her: "Director Clayton—"

Evelyn Clayton calmly said: "Let’s go, it seems we can’t reach a conclusion today."

The group got into the car, and they saw Lucy Carter turn around and run toward the residential area, seemingly fleeing back home.

As the car drove out of the neighborhood, Franklin Ford commented with a hint of sigh: "That lady’s mental state is quite concerning."

Evelyn Clayton was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Indeed, it was concerning.

Up until now, Evelyn Clayton could hardly tell if she was being manipulated or genuinely outraged.

"Let’s head back to the company first." Evelyn Clayton pondered, "Dragging it out like this isn’t a solution."

Rhys Jacobs drove back to the company as Gem’s employees were coming in one after another to clock in.

Unexpectedly, Violet Ford was also there.

As Evelyn Clayton entered the company doors, Mr. Wang approached her with a worried and stern face.

"Director Clayton." Mr. Wang’s voice trembled slightly, "Uh, Director Ford has brought Julia Lawrence back. They’re waiting for you in the conference room."
