Speaking of Laura, the woman was currently being investigated and interrogated.
“Laura Bryant, are you by any means involved in the crimes that Ashton committed?” Brady asked her.
Laura quickly shook her head in denial with a blank expression on her messy face.
“No? Then how do you explain these transfer records?” Brady asked and slammed the bank records down on the
table. “Didn’t you receive these from Ashton? If you're honest with us, you might get a Lesser sentence.
But if you refuse to cooperate with us, the consequences will be severe.”

When Laura saw the irrefutable evidence, she trembled. But still, she refused to admit it. “No, no, that’s not me!
Yes, it’s Ashton. He has been pursuing and harassing me. But | have nothing to do with him!”
Despite Brady's best efforts, Laura refused to budge in any way.
According to her, she had only known Ashton for a few days and had no idea what he had been up to.
Since the evidence was clear, Brady declared her guilty of libel and she was charged a heavy fine.
After posting bail, Laura was finally released from custody.
When she chome, she felt completely exhausted. She slumped down on the sofa and called for a maid to
attend to her.
But she had hardly settled down on the sofa when she was slapped hard.
Laura screamed in pain and anger.
“Who's that? Who dared to hit me?”
Laura lifted her head with a confrontational expression, only to be met with Liza's somber countenance.
Feeling taken aback, Laura lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
Liza maintained a serious demeanor and asked coldly, “Laura, how do you have the nerve to return?”

A newspaper suddenly struck Laura’s face, causing a small cut from its sharp edge.
Though Laura felt enraged, she refrained from speaking out. Instead, she picked up the newspaper and saw that
the front-page headline was about Rowan’s promotion.
“You promised that Rowan would be brought down. But what happened? He not only got promoted but also
revealed to be Loraine’s uncle, causing
Universe Group's stocks to skyrocket!”
As Liza spoke, her anger grew, causing her to repeatedly strike her cane on the floor.
“And all of this is because of you, you fool! Bryant Group didn’t gain anything and even suffered losses!”
