Chapter 157 - 157: How Dare You?
"I have the right to interfere with your business! Savannah, do you forget who you are?" Dylan said with emphasis.
His words had knocked all the spirit out of Savannah.
Yes, of course, he had the right.
She could not say no, even if he asked her to suffer a frame-up!
Savannah held the phone tightly to hold back her anger. She pressed her lips so tightly that they all went white.
***
The next day, Savannah went to JK to continue the last few shots.
What happened yesterday had really gotten her down. Her power was still under a cloud when she went upstairs and walked into JK's office area.
"Have you seen that tweet? Miss Schulz looked so cute and kind. I fail to see she is a girl like that." A female employee said.
"The face is no index to the heart. It's so monstrous for her to hurt a pregnant woman." It's another woman's voice.
"Gee, why did JK select her as the endorser for Fairy World? With such a bad image among people, will she destroy JK's brand?"
"I think we should end her engagement and find another spokesperson!"
When Savannah walked through the office area, she found those who were usually friendly to her did not even greet her. Everyone in the office looked at her with a very peculiar expression.
"No work to do? Don't gossip during office hours! You want to be fired?" A man's cold voice called out from the front.
The two female colleagues immediately shut up and went back to their seats.
"Are you well enough? Why not stay at home for a few days more?" Kevin walked toward Savannah, and his face registered anxiety.
"I'm fine. I've applied some ointment and had a good sleep. I feel much better now. Let's finish the shots early so as not to delay the post process."
Kevin looked at Savannah. Even in such a situation, she still worried about her work and was afraid of bringing troubles to others. Suddenly Kevin turned around and announced to everyone in the office.
"The spokesperson for Fairy World is Savannah and will always be Savannah. It will never change. If there is anyone who engages in or spreads gossip in the company, please leave JK yourself."
His remark brought everyone up with a jerk.
"Yes, sir." Then they answered.
A sense of warmth flowed from Savannah's heart. She looked at Kevin.
"Brother Kevin, thank you. But I'm really afraid that I will affect your game in the present situation."
"I'm here with you. What's there to worry about? Didn't you say you want to finish the last few shots? Let's go." Kevin smiled with his hands in his pants pockets.
Brother Kevin was always so good to her.
The rims of her eyes went pink. She held back her tears and nodded. They said nothing more and headed for the studio.
"Don't go anywhere!" Just then, the sound of a woman's shrill voice came from the entrance of JK. Savannah could hear her high-heels click-clack down the corridor.
"Go to the police station first!" The woman shouted at Savannah.
All the people in the office turned, startled, and looked at the entrance in surprise.
A middle-aged lady in expensive clothes walked in with two uniformed police officers.
Savannah paused. It was Susan.
"I'm the head of JK," Kevin frowned and came forward, "what's the matter, please?"
One officer looked down at his papers before he turned to Savannah.
"We are from the Police Department of LA. Mrs. Yontz testified that Miss Schultz pushed her daughter-in-law down the stairs a month ago. We are taking Miss Schultz to the police station for questioning."
The murmur in the office swelled into a roar. Was that story in twitter true? Even the police were coming!
Kevin's expression changed abruptly. He didn't expect the Sterling to leave any room for compromise.
"This is a mistake," he quickly walked over to explain.
"A mistake?" cried Susan in a sort of shriek. "The victim claimed Savannah did it, and the witness testified that she saw Savannah did it. Was it still a mistake?" Susan said as she stared at the man in front of her up and down.
Of course, she recognized that this man was the one who had beaten her son into the hospital.
"You take her part again. Do you have an affair with her?" Susan said, and then she turned to Savannah, "it's a waste that you do not provide escort services--"
This little bitch hooked up with another guy? She hasn't broken up with Dylan yet!
And this Kevin is the boss of JK, young and promising! Susan thought as she sneered.
Kevin knew the middle-aged lady was Devin's mother. What's more, she almost became Savannah's mother-in-law and had always looked down upon Savannah. But he didn't expect Susan to needle Savannah with such sarcastic remarks.
Kevin looked at Susan's scornful look, frowning.
"Mrs. Yontz, please pay attention to your manners and shut up! Or I will ask you to leave here!" He said sharply as he pointed to the door.
"You dare to drive me away? Do you know who I am?" Susan shouted furiously.
"Of course, you old bitch!" Kevin hit back.
"How dare you --" Susan hit the ceiling at his words.
"Here's my company, and I certainly have the right to kick you out," Kevin said coldly.
"I don't want to come here at all! I'll immediately leave when the police arrest this little bitch! Officer, take her back!" "Susan shouted, pointing to Savannah.
Kevin blazed with anger and clenched his fists. He would have laid his hands on her just like he had punched Devin if Susan were a man!
"Kevin," Savannah hurried over to Kevin and pulled him over. "That's fine, Brother Kevin. I didn't do it, and I'm not afraid of going to the police station." She took a deep breath and said.
She knew the matter about Valerie's abortion was not over yet. But she didn't expect that Susan brought the police to JK.
"I'm going with you. I have a lawyer friend, and I'll call him right away." Kevin controlled his anger and quickly said.
With Kevin's support and protection, Savannah feared nothing now. She forced a smile, nodded, and then turned to the police.
"Officer, I would like to go back with you to assist the investigation."
