"Charlotte, I'm begging you, be the bigger person! Please don't call the police on me, or I'll really have no way of mingling in the industry anymore," pleaded Tilly.
She took advantage of the split second before Charlotte could react and clutched her hand tightly.
Charlotte snickered at Tilly. "I've always been one who would never attack unless attacked. Since I've been harmed, I'll definitely return the favour."
The glacial look in Charlotte's eyes made Tilly' s hair stand on end.
For a good moment, her next words were wedged in her throat and she couldn't get them off the tip of her tongue.
"Ms. Page, take care of yourself." Charlotte flung off Tilly's hand and left with Stephanie.
She was not a saint. There was no way she would simply forgive everyone who came pleading for mercy.
Once they set foot outside, Stephanie asked nervously as her fingers fiddled with the corner of her shirt, "Ms. Emerson, I..."
"I will report back to the company and try my best to fight for you, but the final decision depends on the higher-ups."
Stephanie nodded and said no more.

Shane alighted the elevator and strode directly into his office.
Once he pushed open the door, he saw the DNA test report laying on his desk in wait for him.
He walked over, picked up the folder, and pulled out the report in one smooth action.
He did not hesitate in the slightest.
At once, his indifferent gaze landed on the conclusion on the last line.
It read, 'The alleged father is excluded as the biological father of the tested child.'
After a short pause, Shane put the folder aside, seemingly unaffected.
A brief knock sounded from outside. Subsequently, Cole came into view beside the door.
