Lucia nced at Aurelia, puzzled. “Ms. Simmons, what do you want then?”


    Aurelia pulled out her phone and tapped on Eva’s Instagram ount. “Ms. Hanks, using her IN


    Magazine Fashion Director certification, keeps posting personal attacks and nder against me. Yet


    yourpany hasn’t intervened. Can I assume you’re condoning her actions?”


    While she aimed to leverage Lucia to eliminate Eva, wasn’t the magazine publisher’s indifference to


    Eva’s actions equally harmful to her?


    Trying to shake off Eva now wasn’t as easy as she thought.


    Lucia nced at Aurelia with a hint of surprise. She had initially pegged her as someone with just a bit


    of cleverness. But, it seemed she was actually quite impressive, holding others ountable right after


    utilizing them. Her courage had nothing to do with her adorable face.


    Even so, Lucia couldn’t help but admire Aurelia. With a bit of guidance, she was destined


    for sess.


    Lucia remainedposed. “So?”


    Aurelia had prepared something of her own. She immediately took out a proposal from her bag. “Ms.


    Lawson, please take a look.”


    When Lucia saw the proposal, both she and Leslie were stunned.


    Aurelia was undoubtedly the most passionate worker Leslie had ever encountered among women.


    Despite being fired, she hadn’t abandoned her ns.


    Aurelia added, “I’m aware your magazine publisher has been organizing a charity event for women


    lately. But if allegations of ndering women, or even coercing confessions, were to surface now, I


    question whether this event should proceed.”


    Upon hearing this, Eva pointed angrily at Aurelia. “Who do you think you are, trying to threaten us like


    that, Aurelia?”


    Aurelia nced at Eva and spoke calmly, “Ms. Hanks, I could either be the mediator for this meeting or


    the one who’s been wronged. It’s up to you how you want to approach this.”


    “You!” Eva gritted her teeth and red at Aurelia. “Aurelia, do you think you’re all that?


    Just because-”


    “Wait a moment,” Lucia interrupted Eva abruptly. Then she pointed to the proposal on the table. “Ms.


    Simmons, did you actually write this?”


    “Yeah, but it’s just a first draft.” Aurelia nodded.


    “Share your thoughts.” Lucia gestured.


    “Okay,” said Aurelia.


    After Aurelia finished speaking, Eva stepped forward to intercept Lucia. “Ms. Lawson, are you out of


    your mind? She’s here to make trouble, and you’re actually backing her?”


    Lucia spoke firmly as she used Eva of reckless behavior, “Ms. Hanks, let’s face it. Most of the


    trouble seems to being from you, doesn’t it?

    “The police have already issued an investigation notice. Do you really think those influencers you


    reached out to will still have your back at this point? They’re probably too busy trying to protect


    themselves.


    “And trust me, it won’t be long before angryizense banging on the magazine publisher’s door.


    Do you really want the president toe back and find his hometown under siege? Or do you have a


    better n?”


    Even with Eva’s background, nobody dared to support her.


    With no response from anyone, Eva, feeling frustrated, resorted to a sneaky move.


    She tried threatening again, “This is IN Magazine’s turf. If we catch Aurelia trying anything fishy, what


    can she do to us? If she doesn’t sign the liability waiver agreement today, we’ll…”
