Chapter 477 Bianca’s Imposing Speech!
Bianca glanced at the photo on Bella's phone.
Suddenly, she laughed. "I was wondering what you're going to show me. Turns out that it's just a few photos. How sure are you that the woman in those photos is me? Image editing technology is so advanced now. It's so easy to transplant someone's face onto another body. Moreover, the so- called evidence provided by the article is full of errors. Do you actually believe it? Are you three years old?"
As Bella looked at her phone while churning her brain, trying to find a retort, Bianca continued, "Haven't you realized something else too? Every account that shared the article is banned. Can you open the link to the article? You can't! How could that happen? It's because the article is false and libelous. Mr. Crawford has already reported the article to the authorities, and anyone who shares it will face legal consequences."
Nina glared at Bella, then at the nosy male colleague.
Bella could feel her heart skip a beat. She was starting to panic.
She heard from Mavis that Bianca had rejected Luke's proposal at the engagement ceremony and had tarnished the Crawford family's reputation. Knowing how cold and heartless Mr. Crawford was, Bianca would quickly be removed from the scene, and Mavis would replace her position. That was why Bella had mocked her so openly.
Bella did not expect that Luke still had feelings for Bianca even after the scandal broke out. If she knew about that, she would not have humiliated her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe male colleague was also dripping in cold sweat.
He was somewhat handsand had certain talents in design. Several female colleagues like him, but he was not interested in women who took the initiative.
He had thought that Bianca was a pure woman. Unexpectedly, that woman was actually a harlot in private. That stark contrast made him interested in her. He even thought of giving her smoney so that she would sleep with him.
He did not expect that his boss would still be defending the woman despite her tattered reputation. At that moment, he hated his big mouth.
It took him a lot of effort to get to where he was on his career ladder. He would not ruin it because of a slip of his tongue!
The other colleagues felt lucky that they kept their mouths shut.
Before they knew what actually happened, it would be most prudent to control what they say.
Otherwise, they might get into trouble without them knowing it.
Bella was feeling fearful, but she was not going to give up, though her voice had beca lot softer. "Hmph, how pretentious! I heard that you're from a poor family, and it's not surprising if you did that while studying abroad. Have you ever thought of going back to your part-tjob, Bianca? I have some rich clients to introduce you!"
Then, she turned to look at the male employees surrounding them. "If you all have any urges in the future, you don't have to go too far. There's one in our department. She’s beautiful and has a nice figure, and she's definitely cleaner and more value for money than those you find outside!"
Someone responded with a burst of laughter immediately after Bella finished speaking. It was from several female employees who envied Bianca.
They had been in the company for longer than Bianca. However, Bianca was better than them in terms of appearance and work capability. She was the main obstacle to their promotion, and they were happy to see her being humiliated.
The male employees looked at Bianca ambiguously, but they did not want to court trouble and therefore kept their mouths shut.
Only Tom stood up and retorted Bella. "Madam, do you actually think that the article was telling the truth? Why would it be deleted then? Every one of us here should know Bianca's character, even if it's not her entire personality. Moreover, don't you think that it's immature to conclude that the woman is Bianca from several edited photos?"
Bella was furious when she heard Tom speak up for Bianca. "You seem like you're very protective of Bianca, Tom! You don't look like you're so close to her. Don't tellthat you're..."
Bianca slammed a thick stack of design documents on the table and said coldly, "That's enough! Don't go overboard, Bella Sloan! Without knowing someone's past, you create rumors irresponsibly. Don't you know that there are legal consequences for that? According to Section 246 in the Criminal Code, anyone who damages the reputation of an individual by the fabrication of facts will be sentenced to a maximum of three years in prison. You can talk toif you're unhappy with me, Madam, but you shouldn't have slanderedlike this. I don't want to waste my tat work to be involved in such meaningless conversations. If you do that again, I will contact my lawyer, and we can continue the conversation in court!"
Every word in Bianca's speech was forceful and overbearing. Her demeanor reminded Bella of Luke Crawford, and that had made Bella shut her mouth.
"Hmph, I didn't say those words. I saw it in Rita's article, it has nothing to do with me!" Bella looked at Bianca sheepishly, then roared at the surrounding employees. "What are you all looking at? Get back

Then, she slunk back to her office.
After Bella left, the employees stopped their gossip and returned to their tasks.
Bianca felt a headache because of her anger, but she knew that she should not be agitated because that would have a negative effect on the baby in her womb.
Sue and Nina comforted her, and she soon calmed down. She started reading the information about applying for the architect certification.
She did not do so earlier because even though she received her master's degree in engineering economics, she did not have the required work experience of two years or the experience in managing a construction project for one year.
Now that she had worked in T Corporation for almost a year, her scope of work included designing buildings and overseeing construction projects. In another two months, she would be qualified to apply for the certification.
The certificate held a lot of value. Among the millions of architectural designers in the country, only about four hundred thousand were certified architects.
She needed the certification if she wanted to advance her career in T Corporation.
After work.
Luke sent Bianca hand gently kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry, I'll have to go out for a while. You and the children should have dinner first. I will be back soon."
Bianca knew that he was going on a "date" with Leia. She felt insufferable agony in her heart, but she forced a smile on her face and straightened his suit. "Alright, be back soon."
