The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 98

Arabella shot a casual glance at Dean and said, "Dean, call the cops."

Hearing this, Linda immediately went as pale as a sheet. She was all high and mighty just now. But in front of Arabella, she was helpless, clutching the table and begging for mercy.

"No, please." Linda's voice was shaking, "Ms. Bennett, we can sit down and talk this out."

"I was originally planning to let you off the hook, but you just had to pick a fight with me." Arabella said.

Arabella raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat helpless, "I wasn't planning on making you pay for the company's loss, or making you go to jail. But you insisted on reporting this to the headquarters, blowing things out of proportion."

Linda was so regretful she could kick herself, "Ms. Bennett, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have tampered with the attendance record, scamming my monthly salary and perfect attendance! I shouldn't have gone against my conscience to accept the company's annual reward. I was wrong! I really was wrong! Can I apologize to you?"

"Is this the only thing you did wrong?" Arabella's gaze fell on her, filled with intensity.

"Wha.. what else..." Linda's tears were welling up in her eyes. And in her panic, she couldn't think of anything else that gave Ms. Bennett leverage.

Linda seemed to realize something, but she wasn't sure. She asked timidly, "What is it?"

"It's the complaint letters from the people who left the company this past year! There are a total of sixty-three letters complaining about you." Arabella said.

Linda was stunned, so were the colleagues outside. That many?

Clearly, Linda had been bullying quite a few people.

"You abused your power, covered for your colleagues who did wrong with you. And those upright people who refused to cooperate with you were all forced out by you! The company can't retain talents, and it's all because of you!" Arabella said.

"Ms. Bennett, let me explain, those people didn't follow the company's rules." Linda said.

Before Linda could finish, Arabella's gaze turned colder, "At this point, you still want to frame them?"
