CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 482: TURNING THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
The day after the public opinion war began, Lucy Carter’s side took action.
Lucy Carter had plenty of fans, and naturally, many supporters who urged her to report to the police.
However, Lucy Carter didn’t take action, she just posted a daily video, accompanying it with the text that she would never bow to authority.
When Yara Reagan saw this video, she was both angry and amused, "Does she think she’s acting in a drama?"
Evelyn Clayton spoke unhurriedly, "No rush. Let’s have Rhys Jacobs hang around Lucy Carter’s house for a while, just in case he runs into her, remind him to record everything."
Receiving the instructions, Rhys Jacobs quickly set out.
By the afternoon, the situation had taken a new turn.
Rhys Jacobs called Evelyn Clayton to say that Lucy Carter had reported to the police.
Evelyn Clayton and Yara Reagan also quickly received calls from the police station summoning them.
Upon arriving at the police station, Evelyn Clayton was first taken away by the police and met Lucy Carter in the mediation room.
This time, Lucy Carter wasn’t as tightly wrapped as before, revealing a pale but lovely face. She looked at Evelyn Clayton with full defensiveness and disdain.
Compared to Lucy Carter’s tension, Evelyn Clayton appeared much more composed and indifferent.
The police also sensed something was off, looking from Lucy Carter to Evelyn Clayton, for a moment unable to tell which was the more tenacious party in the incident.
"Alright, let’s talk," said the police officer, flipping open a notepad, "In the past couple of days, we’ve also seen your stories circulating online. It’s a hot topic. Miss Carter, you’ve reported today, what’s your request?"
Lucy Carter spoke immediately, her voice somewhat sharp, "Officer, there have been Evelyn Clayton’s spies around my house, they’re stalking and prying into my life! Just because I released a video exposing their company’s shoddy quality and consumer deception, they’ve been following me!"
The police officer, making notes, looked at Evelyn Clayton seriously, "Miss Clayton, is there any truth to this?"
Evelyn Clayton looked resigned, "Officer, as you’ve mentioned, your relevant staff have seen almost everything online these days and must have also seen the video of my visit to apologize. My aim has always been to have a face-to-face conversation with Miss Carter. As for stalking or prying, that’s sheer nonsense."
As she spoke, Evelyn Clayton looked sincerely at Lucy Carter, "Miss Carter, since we’re meeting today, can we have a proper conversation?"
Lucy Carter scoffed, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes appeared sharp and critical at this moment, "What’s there to talk about? I’m telling you, I won’t surrender to you! Don’t delude yourself into covering your misdeeds with money!"
The police officer also frowned slightly, turning to Lucy Carter, "Miss Carter, please calm down, this issue needs a resolution, we can’t keep using public resources like this."
Lucy Carter’s expression changed slightly, reluctantly keeping quiet.
Evelyn Clayton gave the officer an appreciative smile, then turned to Lucy Carter once more, "Miss Carter, I think there’s a misunderstanding. I have never suggested resolving this matter with money, from the start when I came to apologize, I’ve said I want this matter clarified. The dress you received might indeed have shoddy materials, but don’t you find it odd that so far, only your customized piece has an issue?"
Lucy Carter’s face went stiff, remaining silent for a moment.
Evelyn Clayton’s smile grew more calmly confident, "This has blown up, yet to this day, only you have claimed the clothes have quality issues. If we deliberately picked one made-to-measure piece to skimp on production costs, why would it have been given precisely to you, a client with some credibility and significant social influence? Isn’t that too strange?"
