Chapter 111 - 111 Well Played
Vivian followed Jason to the back of the door and took out a voice recorder from her bag. “I recorded it after the police came.”
After Jason had finished listening, Vivian told him the truth of the situation again. Jason had a rough idea in his mind, and the two returned to the property office again.
At this moment, Diana had also arrived at the scene. When she entered, she was stunned to see a bunch of unfamiliar faces.
Carol immediately stepped forward and held her sister-in-law’s hand. She complained to her husband, “Diana, look at how your Brother is being beaten up by this little b*stard!”
Vivian held back her anger and asked coldly, “Jason, the other party insulted my son. Can I sue them?”
“Of course you can,” Jason replied with a smile. “This is your legitimate right.”
Edison was excited when he heard this. The police and his sister were here. This was his home ground!
He got up and retorted loudly, “So what if I scold you? You’ve beaten me up like this, so I’ll be imprisoned! I’m going to sue you until you go bankrupt! I thought that you were siblings, but I didn’t expect you to be a mother and son. To have such a big son at such a young age, it seems that you also dropped out of school at a young age to fool around with men! No wonder you came to seduce me immediately when you saw that I had money!”
Edison was so deep in the script made up by his wife that he almost believed what he said.
Jason saw that his Young Master was about to rush out and beat someone up again, so he quickly stepped forward and took out a recording pen. He said seriously, “My client is now going to sue you for slander and defamation. You’ve distorted the truth and caused great damage to my client’s reputation and mental health! The recording pen has already recorded everything you said, and the staff who were present at the time can also prove the truth of the conflict!”
Edison panicked for a moment, but Carol regained her senses and whispered a few words into her husband’s ear. She then said to the police, “We’re not afraid! Mr. Police, you can go and get a witness!”
After the police asked for the location of the counter where the conflict occurred, the young police officer turned around and went out to look for a witness.
Two minutes later, the two employees of the store arrived at the property room. Carol glared at the two girls and shouted with a warning look, “All of you just watched my husband get beaten up and didn’t help. My Sister-in-law is the Manager, Diana. She will remember this! You’d better tell me the truth now. Did this woman seduce my husband, so she made the first move?”
The two girls looked at Diana and exchanged uneasy glances.
Although they were merchants, this department store was famous and especially difficult to enter. The boss talked for a long time before they agreed. The two of them were worried that they would offend Diana. If she complained to the boss, they would definitely lose their jobs. In the end, the two of them went against their conscience and gave false testimony.
Diana didn’t say anything as she was sizing up Vivian and Leon.
There were many well-known brands in the mall. In addition, her work required her to be in contact with various luxury goods. She recognized all the brands that Vivian was wearing. Her entire outfit was about ten to twenty thousand yuan. Then, she looked at Leon, and the more she looked, the more her brows furrowed.
Seeing that she had gained the upper hand, Carol looked at Vivian and the others provocatively, trying to see the panic in their eyes. Unfortunately, she only saw the usual calm expression on their faces.
Vivian had already seen through Carol’s tricks. She smiled and said, “I should be able to charge you with another crime now, threatening a witness and obstructing justice!”
Although Vivian was not a law student, she had a basic understanding of the law. Edison and Carol thought that they had the upper hand because they did not know her background.
A single mother brought her child to start a business, but she was harassed, insulted, and slandered by people with ill intentions. Her son stood up and beat up the bad guys to protect his mother. If such an inspirational and heartwarming story were to be told in court, it was estimated that more than half of the jury would shed tears, and they might even cheer for them, “Well played!”
Edison thought that since the witnesses were on his side, there was nothing to be afraid of. Just as he was about to accept it before Diana tugged at his sleeve.
Diana whispered, “Brother! Don’t say anymore! Let’s just forget about this matter.”
Edison and Carol frowned and asked in dissatisfaction, “Why are you siding with an outsider?”
