Chapter 2177
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
A very domineering voice suddenly penetrated everyoneâs ears powerfully.
Then, a woman who seemed to be wearing all the luxury brands in the world on her body appeared in front of Laura with a strong aura after walking through the crowd.
That woman lifted her stern eyes.
There was a look of fearlessness and boldness in them that looked similar to Maisieâs.She looked at Laura whose face was turning red and white before lifting her hand to slap her across the face.
"Ah!" Laura yelped in pain.
Before she understood what was going on, she could feel the same searing pain on her face again.
Laura clutched her face and lifted her head to glare at that woman.
"H-How dare you slap me?!"
"Yes, Iâm slapping you because you deserve to be slapped.You shouldnât have spread those rumors online, then! Iâm being very merciful by just slapping you."
The woman replied calmly, but her eyes were piercing.
Lauraâs jaw dropped open.
After being stuck in a trance for a few seconds, she remembered the officers who were next to her.
"Officers, you saw it.This woman slapped me in front of you! You should be arresting her!"
The officers were about to lecture the woman but the woman smiled calmly.
"Iâm happy to cooperate with you two.I'll take responsibility and face the consequences for slapping this woman, but first, you have to do something about this fool who went around spreading rumors about my daughter and slandering my daughterâs reputation."
After the woman said that, she rolled her eyes at Laura.
Immediately after that, her eyes were filled with affectionate kindness and gentleness when she turned to Maisie.
"Mai, my baby, no one can bully you now that Mommyâs here."
The woman promised solemnly.
Then, she glared at Tom with an extremely reproachful look in her eyes.
"Tommy, is this how you take care of your little sister? How can you allow rumors about her to spread?
Also, donât you go through a strict interview process before hiring your employees? How could this kind of person have the qualifications to enter our familyâs company?"
"Gosh..."
After the woman finished speaking, she caused an uproar around her.
Everyone now understood the relationship between Maisie and Tom.
They were siblings! This was completely different from what they had guessed and seen online.
However, Maisieâs last name was Davenport while Tom's last name was Lowe, so no one would think that they were siblings.
At this moment, Maisie simpered and got close to the woman.
"Mommy, donât scold Tom.You know he loves me the most.Itâs just that this time, someone was trying to stab us from the back so thatâs why he couldnât guard against it." Maisie explained.
At this moment, she was like a docile lamb.Her soft tone was completely different from her aggressive and overbearing attitude just now.
"Plus, Tom didnât know I came to interview for the design department back then.Itâs all because you guys thinkIâm too childish and you think I canât join a professional firm.So thatâs why I asked someone to change my identification details so I could come here for an interview."
After hearing Maisieâs explanation, the woman looked affectionate and proud.
"Yes, youâre right.My princess is the best.You joined this company all by yourself."
After she said that, the woman peered at Laura, who was utterly shocked.
"However, I guess someone is lacking in wit, so thatâs why they said you joined the company through connections"
"Even if I joined this company through connections, s o what? One has to have the connections to even attempt it."
Maisie looked at Laura disdainfully and continued, "Laura, now you know what relationship I have with Mr.Lowe.
"So? Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"
Lauraâs stiff palm was still clutching her face, and she was looking at Maisie who was beaming.She was flabbergasted.
However, she did not dare to utter a single word to retort.
