The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1529 Make A Scene
When the issue regarding the excess sodium was reported by the media, the company’s reputation dwindled drastically. The stock price began to fall, and the public was furious at their company. After Darren got arrested, most of their investors withdrew their investment. The capitalists who saw the news also lost their interest to cooperate with him and the company.
To make matters worse, the turnover rate of their employees increased after the news broke out. Every day, they would get several resignation letters from their employees. Once, Bonnie paid a visit to the HR department, and what she witnessed that day broke her heart.
Each time that one of their employees chose to resign, the KING Group’s competitors would have the chance to hire a hardworking and capable employee from the KING Group. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the company ended up with a shortage of employees.
The board of directors even decided to sell most of their shares in order to reduce their losses.
When the decision was made, some of the netizens immediately started to complain on major social media platforms about the KING Group.
“I hope you go bankrupt!” they would post on those social media platforms.
“The boss of that heartless company was arrested. Is it because of the loss of humanity or the loss of morality?”
As she read the nasty comments on several forums, Bonnie wanted to defend the KING Group and Darren, but she didn’t know how to do it. She looked up and saw her tear-stained face in the mirror. She wiped her tears away from her red cheeks and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
If she wanted to solve this problem, then she needed to find out the root of all this mess.
After she made up her mind, Bonnie asked Harlan to find out the address of the patient who claimed to have been poisoned. She also brought some gifts with her as a gesture of goodwill and went to the address by herself.
She parked her car in the remote parking lot of the run-down neighborhood. She meticulously followed the directions she was given and found the house without difficulty. Then, she started to loudly knock on the door. “I am coming! Stop knocking,” she heard an irritated female voice yell after a few more knocks.
The door opened wide with an aggressive creek. Bonnie was greeted by an older woman who was wearing a scowl on her face. It looked like she wasn’t keen on getting surprise visitors.
The woman looked a little over fifty years old and had a chubby figure. She was wearing a floral dress and a pair of slippers. She squinted her eyes at Bonnie. She looked like she was in a temper.
“Who on earth are you? Why have you come here?” The woman blocked the door instinctively as she snapped at her.
Bonnie was shocked at the discourteous welcome. She quickly showed her the fruit basket that she was hiding behind her and gave a warm smile. She said, “Hi there! Nice to meet you, ma’am. I am an employee of the KING Group. I came here today because I would like to express my condolences…”
Bang!
Before she could even finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a strong gust of wind crash against her when the woman slammed th
more details. When he met him outside the police station, Harlan was as pale as a ghost.
“Is this your way of looking after her while I was gone?” Angry and depressed, Darren glared at Harlan. “If anything happens to her, remember that I won’t forgive you so easily,” he warned in a serious tone. As soon as he finished speaking, he went back to the police station in an attempt to prove her innocence.
‘This woman is so stupid!’ he thought to himself.
However, the process of trying to get her released was not easy at all. The police explained to them, “Miss Sun confessed to the crime. According to the laws, she is not allowed to leave. If you wish to see her, we can arrange a meeting here at the station.”
Darren just wanted to take her back. His expression looked like all the life had just been sucked out of him. He felt miserable. He couldn’t believe that Bonnie had gotten dragged into this.
With gritted teeth, he snarled, “She had nothing to do with this crime! How did you even prove that she was involved? Just because she said she did it doesn’t mean it’s true!”
“Please don’t get in the way of police work.”
Darren was not good at keeping calm, especially when he was already in a bad mood. He was unreasonable whenever he was angry. So, when he was rudely pushed back by a police officer, he slammed his hand on the reception desk. “I want you to go to the person in charge here and ask him to come out. I want to speak to him about this!”
When Harlan sensed that something was wrong, he immediately rushed inside. However, it was already too late, because Darren had already been officially warned to not cause a kerfuffle inside the station. With sweat all over his forehead, Harlan forcibly grabbed Darren and tried to drag him out of the police station. He apologized profusely to the officers as they made their way outside.
“Mr. Xu, please don’t worry. You know that Bonnie is innocent. If we can provide evidence showing that she’s not guilty of anything, then they will release her. But if you keep making a scene here, you could end up in jail again!”
‘Please calm down!’ Harlan begged internally and looked at his boss with pleading eyes.
