Ivy Miller pondered for a mont, then jumped into action.
She first called Everly Lewis, because these two have been straight talking best friends for years.
Once the call connected, Ivy Miller got straight to the point.
"Everly, I need to talk to you again."
"Hey, you married woman of a national soldier, why do you always call when there’s sothing up? I thought you were going to tell Little Qing is about to give birth."
Ivy Miller quickly said, "Yes, yes, Little Qing is about to give birth. She was just nagging this afternoon saying she feels it’s almost ti."
"So, what’s the real matter?"
"My real matter isn’t with you, it’s with your brother. Soone’s been slandering .
Soone posted an article on the company’s forum saying I’ve rekindled my old fla with Robert Weston and went to a hotel together."
"Oh, heavens, I’m more wronged than Dou E*, the photo is of , that’s true, but and him, do you think it’s possible?"
"Definitely not possible, don’t you just despise cheating scumbags?
But how could the photo be real, what were you doing at the hotel with him?"
"I went to secretly take photos of a rival company’s boss eting a woman at a hotel.
Who knew, like a mantis stalking a cicada, I got outplayed by soone else in the end."
"Damn, with my explosive temper, give the website later, I’ll help my brother find out who’s behind this.
Daring to insult people like this, they won’t get away with it."
Ivy Miller gave a thumbs up, knowing she couldn’t see it: "Friend, you’re so heroic. A new movie’s out, when are you going to watch it with ?"
"That’s easy to arrange, I’m free every day after 7 PM."
"Evenings don’t work for , okay? Let’s do it over the weekend, call then, and I’ll drive to pick you up.
Anyway, get my stuff sorted first, or else when I see you on Saturday, I won’t let you off."
Everly Lewis laughed: "Sure, I’ll get this sorted for you in the next couple of days."
After hanging up, Henry Sullivan said, "Everly Lewis has basically beco your personal investigation assistant."
"A few of us close sisters all know she’s good at this, so whenever sothing like this happens, we like to ask her for help.
As the saying goes, ’more capable people handle more tasks’, and she’s the capable person we can rely on."
Henry Sullivan nodded: "Then I’ll be responsible for getting the hotel surveillance footage for you."
"Surveillance?" She looked at him: "But I did go there, that’s true."
"Did you two stay inside for long?"
Ivy Miller thought that she hadn’t really paid attention at the ti, and couldn’t recall how long she’d been inside.
Thinking carefully: "Probably not, I don’t really rember, I just rember leaving right after taking photos.
That hotel requires a card to get to the upper floors, I couldn’t have followed upstairs."
"That’s good. I’ll get the surveillance to find evidence for you. If the whole visit lasted only three to five minutes, the truth will be revealed."
Ivy Miller smiled, yes indeed, why hadn’t she thought of that earlier.
Besides that, Ivy Miller didn’t really take this matter seriously.
After all, it wasn’t such a big deal, and it wasn’t true anyway.
But the next day when she went to the company, she found out that things were much more complicated than she had imagined.
As soon as she entered the company lobby, she was blocked at the door by Robert Weston’s wife.
Even though they both worked in the sa departnt, if she really wanted to talk to her, she should have gone to the office, not here.
Ivy Miller knew she was deliberately blocking her here because more people could see.
She wanted to create a scene.
Upon seeing Ivy Miller, Marigold Birch walked straight up to her, "Ivy Miller, are you and Robert Weston a couple?"
So intentionally stopped to watch from afar, after all, such a once-in-a-thousand-year catfight in the company lobby was a delightful event.
After all, these things had nothing to do with them.
Actually, Ivy Miller was sowhat uncomfortable with this feeling, but since the other party had already asked so directly, she had no reason to back down.
"Marigold, get it straight, Robert Weston and I are no longer a couple.
When we were in college, we did date for two or three years.
But the past is the past, and now is now. Marigold, it would be better if you sort out your own thoughts.
Did you never have a boyfriend before? Is Robert your first love? I can’t believe it."
As soon as Ivy Miller finished speaking, so people started to whisper that Ivy Miller was really good at pretending.
