The hand that grabbed the secretary's wrist wasn't Jennifer's—it was someone else entirely. Anna's actual secretary was named Clara Mitchell, a striking woman in her late twenties with auburn hair, sharp features, and an efficient demeanor that had made her invaluable to Morrison Enterprises.

And right now, Clara was being yanked back into Anna's office by Noah Patterson with enough force to make her stumble on her heels.

"Noah!" Clara hissed, struggling against his grip as he closed the office door behind them. "What the hell do you think you're doing? I need to follow Ms. Morrison to the meeting!"

"The meeting can wait," Noah said, finally releasing her wrist but positioning himself between Clara and the door. "We need to talk. Now."

Clara rubbed her wrist where Noah's fingers had dug in, her expression a mixture of anger and something more complicated—hurt, maybe, or betrayal. She straightened her blazer with sharp, irritated movements, her professional mask cracking to reveal genu

CHAPTER 148 PART 1
Despite Linda's visible panic and inability to provide specifics, several members of the crowd still clung to their earlier conviction, unwilling to admit they might have been wrong."We believe you, Linda!" Michael Roberts called out, though his voice lacked its earlier certainty. "Don't let Tyler intimidate you with his legal talk!""Yeah!" Sarah Chen added. "You don't have to prove anything to him! We saw how he treated you! We know what kind of person he is!""The victim shouldn't have to defend themselves!" Tom Bradford insisted. "That's victim-blaming! That's exactly what predators want—to make their victims feel like they're the ones on trial!"But their support sounded hollow now, defensive, like people trying to convince themselves as much as Linda. The earlier mob enthusiasm had transformed into something more uncertain, more desperate.Pervis listened to them with that same calm expression, then pulled out his phone again, holding it up so everyone could see."I'll make thi

Linda's face went pale, then flushed red again. "I'm not worried about anything! Because I'm telling the truth! I witnessed your crimes! I'm a victim of your harassment!"She took a shaky breath, trying to regain her earlier confidence. "You can threaten me with lawsuits all you want, Tyler, but it won't change the facts! I know what I saw! I know what happened! And no amount of your manipulation or intimidation will make me recant!""Recant implies you're currently telling the truth," Pervis pointed out. "The word you're looking for is probably 'confess.' As in, confess to making false accusations.""I'M NOT MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS!" Linda shrieked, her composure crumbling further. "Why won't anyone believe me? Why is everyone taking his side?"She looked around at the crowd, which was noticeably quieter now, less eager to voice their support. "You all said you believed me! You all said I was telling the truth! Don't let him bully you into changing your minds!"Michael Roberts shift

"Pervis?" Aria Coleman's voice came through the speaker phone clearly, cutting through the tense silence of the office like a blade. "I just received a report that there's some kind of disturbance in your department. What's happening down there?"Every person in the office held their breath, waiting to hear what Pervis would say. Would he complain about being attacked by his coworkers? Would he report their accusations to the CEO? Would he use this opportunity to get all of them in trouble?But Pervis's response was surprisingly casual, almost dismissive."It's nothing serious, Aria," Pervis said calmly, his eyes scanning the increasingly nervous faces around him. "Just some pests I need to take care of. Minor annoyances. Nothing that requires your direct intervention."The word "pests" landed like a slap. Several people in the crowd flinched visibly at being so casually dismissed, at being categorized as mere irritations rather than serious threats or righteous accusers.Linda's face
CHAPTER 146 PART 3
Pervis looked at his phone thoughtfully. "Actually, Linda, I have a better question for you. Do you have any evidence to support your accusations? Any proof whatsoever that I harassed you, manipulated Alicia, or did any of the things you've claimed?"Linda's confident expression didn't waver. "I have my testimony! I saw what I saw with my own eyes! I experienced what I experienced!""So no actual evidence," Pervis clarified. "No recordings, no messages, no witnesses who aren't part of this mob, no documentation of any kind. Just your word.""My word is enough!" Linda insisted. "The testimony of a victim is evidence in itself! That's what all the experts say! Believe women! Believe survivors!""Even when they're lying?" Pervis asked mildly."I'M NOT LYING!" Linda screamed, her composure finally cracking. "I know what happened! I know what I saw! I don't need physical evidence because I have the truth in my memory!"She gestured wildly at the crowd. "This is exactly the problem with soc

He met each person's eyes in turn, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "Don't regret your decisions today. Don't come crying to me later claiming you were misled or pressured or didn't understand what you were doing. You're making a choice right now—to believe Linda's lies, to condemn me without evidence, to participate in what will ultimately be revealed as a malicious mob attack on an innocent person.""We won't regret anything!" the crowd shouted back."Because we're right!""Because you're guilty!""Because justice is on our side!"Linda was practically glowing with satisfaction now. She took several steps closer to Pervis, invading his personal space in a way that was clearly meant to be intimidating or provocative. Her chest—clearly augmented by plastic surgery and deliberately emphasized by her too-tight blouse—was thrust forward as she leaned in close to his face."You're going to regret every single thing you've done to me," Linda hissed, her breath hot against Pervis's
CHAPTER 146 PART 1
He paused for effect. "Would you accept the consequences of having believed her? Of having spread her lies? Of having publicly condemned an innocent person?"The crowd shifted uncomfortably, not quite sure where Pervis was going with this."What consequences?" Michael Roberts asked suspiciously."Whatever consequences would be appropriate," Pervis replied. "Public apologies, for starters. Admitting you were wrong. Acknowledging that you participated in spreading malicious falsehoods about a coworker.""We won't need to apologize," Linda interjected confidently. "Because I'm telling the truth! Everything I said about you is real!""Is it?" Pervis asked mildly. "You're absolutely certain? You want to stand by every single accusation you made?""Absolutely!" Linda declared. "Every word! You're a predator, a manipulator, and a violent criminal! And everyone here believes me because they've seen your true colors!""We do believe her!" the crowd agreed."Completely!""Without a doubt!""You
