Chapter 160-1
Not A Small-Town Girl
"What do you mean by that?" the female reporterâs face turned sour from being retorted by Danielle.
Danielle let out a sneer and said, "Itâs the literal meaning. I was saying you are brainless.â
The female reporter retorted indignantly, "The founder of Grace Group is so rude. Itâs hard to imagine what the corporate culture of Grace Group is like."
âIf a dog bites us, we canât bite it because we are humans, but we can choose to beat the dog. This is the corporate culture of Grace Group." Danielle spoke coldly, figuring that this reporter was likely sent by that person. "Iâm curious. How much money did the person behind this pay you to come after us?â
The other media people at the side didnât expect Danielle to compare this reporter to a dog. They wanted to laugh but couldnât, so they enjoyed their snacks and watched the drama.
âDonât hurl mud at me," the reporter said righteously. "Iâm upholding social justice and seeking justice for the victims."
Danielle said unhurriedly, "Really? According to what you said, where was your sense of justice then when others slandered Grace Group earlier?â
âThey presented strong evidence, so thereâs nothing I could do. It happened because Grace Group didnât do a good job. If your company had done a good job, it wouldnât have been slandered.â The reporter looked at Danielle with disdain, thinking, âOur company is the largest media company in the industry. There will be plenty of opportunities to find fault with Grace Group in the future. This is the consequence of this young girl crossing me.â
"You can just say whatever you want because you have a mouth, huh? Do you need me to find the transfer records of someone paying you to slander Grace Group?" Danielle was now basically certain that this person was instructed by someone.
âHow can you look through other peopleâs privacy as you please? You are infringing on privacy. Those young girls didnât dare to sue you, but I dare to sue you. Just wait! But if you apologize to me sincerely now, I will reluctantly forgive you.â
The reporter spoke arrogantly. After all, she was the top employee of their company. It wouldnât be an exaggeration to call her the companyâs cash cow. She had uncovered a lot of juicy stories, and even if something went wrong, the company would protect her.
âSelena Jones, youâre the star reporter of Lemez Media, and your husband owes a huge gambling debt," Danielle said. "You usually dig up juicy stories in the entertainment industry and threaten the parties involved to give you hush money. Not long ago, your husband lost money again, and it was a huge sum. This time, you couldnât pay off the debt. Three days ago, someone gave you a sum of money, asking you to help those people slander Grace Group and make the blame stick. Now that these people have been exposed, and Grace Group hasnât been slandered, your task isnât completed. Naturally, you wonât get the money.
âSo, you started causing trouble again, making things up like a mad dog. Iâm not falsely accusing you, right?"
Danielle spoke in a cold voice. Her phone contained all the reporterâs information, which was very detailed.
"Just because you say so, that means it is the truth, huh?" the reporter said, glaring at Danielle viciously. "You exposed my privacy, so I will sue you. Our company wonât let you off the hook either. I am a star reporter. Youâve offended me, so you wonât have an easy time from now on."
Just then, the reporterâs phone rang. After answering, she hung up with a pale face.
"Itâs you," she said. "You asked my company to fire me, right? Youâre really lowdown. Why did you do this?" The reporter went crazy and tried to lunge at Danielle, but Jason stopped her quickly.
"If you have a problem with your brain, go get it treated." Danielle didnât expect the reporter to be fired. She thought, âServes her right. She doesnât deserve sympathy.â
The female reporter seemed to have been drained of all her strength and sat on the ground. The cameraman who came with her looked at her in a daze.
As if remembering something, the reporter stood up and walked toward Danielle and said, "Didnât you forgive the person who slandered you? I was wrong. Please forgive me. I have no choice, and I canât lose my job. Please talk to my company and ask them not to fire me."
