Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous! Chapter 7: Branded as a Criminal

So the few major companies she interviewed with earlier all rejected her, saying their company couldn’t possibly hire soone with a criminal record...

Coming out of the police station, her friend Nina Pierce ca to pick her up, speaking indignantly on her behalf, "That’s just too much! Even if you accidentally bumped into his son, his son wasn’t hurt at all! I still have the hospital’s examination proof! How can soone be so ungreatful!"

Laura Quincy rubbed her forehead, having not slept for 24 hours, she just wanted to catch up on her sleep, "I had hoped to get into Xavier Group, but now everything’s ruined, I’ve beco soone with a record."

Nina also felt it wasn’t fair for her friend, "Laura, why don’t I take you out to relax, and after things settle down, you can start looking for a job again? I believe with your skills, you’re bound to find a great job; after all, your education and past work experience speak for themselves, a real gem will shine anywhere."

Laura appreciated her friend’s goodwill, "Nina, you only just got your dical license this year, and it’s a busy ti for you. Let’s plan sothing for when you’re on holiday. Tonight I’ll send out a few resus, and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll ask that small company that approached before."

Nina nodded, "Okay."

Having bought so reserve grains from the supermarket, Laura planned to stay ho and not go out for a while. However, as soon as she and Nina walked into the neighborhood, they saw residents passing by pointing fingers at her.

There were even moms with kids urging their children to stay away from her, calling her a kidnapper...

Stunned, a little boy picked up a small stone and threw it at her, "Bad woman kidnapping kids! Beat you up!"

Although the child’s strength wasn’t very strong, the stone hit Laura’s leg, causing her such pain she almost stumbled, barely able to stand.

Nina quickly supported her friend, defending her, "She’s not a bad woman, there’s been a misunderstanding in this matter!"

The little boy made a face at them, "She’s a bad woman! The internet said so!"

Nina was about to say sothing else but was stopped by her friend, "Forget it, Nina, it’s not worth arguing with kids."

The two of them hadn’t walked far when they were surrounded by a group of journalists.

"Miss Quincy, could you tell us how you found out about the young master from the Hawthorne family?"

"Miss Quincy, what thod did you use to trick the Hawthorne young master into going ho with you? Is there really that kind of drug that can enchant kids?"

"Miss Quincy, was your purpose for kidnapping the Hawthorne young master to beco his stepmother?"

A series of sharp questions left Laura speechless, and never having seen such a big fuss, she was dazed, with the blinding flashlights making it impossible for her to keep her eyes open.

"I didn’t kidnap the Hawthorne young master!"

She could only chanically repeat this sentence, but the reporters wouldn’t let go of her, continuing to bombard her until she ran out of strength and fainted...

Laura had no idea how long she had slept, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a white ceiling and an unfamiliar setting, she tried to sit up, only to find herself on an IV drip.

In a daze, Nina pushed the door open and ca in.

"Laura, you’re finally awake!"

"How long have I slept?"

"Everything you rember was from yesterday."

"Uh... has it been that long?"

Nina washed an apple for her, "Have a bite to fill your stomach, I’ll go to the cafeteria and get you so porridge later."

Laura sat up, "Nina, about those reporters yesterday..."
