Mariela finally looked up at the two intimidating individuals and said, “As lawyers, you have been spreading rumors and defaming me ren’s you well aware of the consequences you should hear? Since you enjoy ruining your own future, I’ll just go with the flow?
“You… Macy was about to curse, but suddenly stopped, realizing that if she was really convicted, her career would be over. So she forcefully suppressed her anger, changed her expression, and softened her attitude. “Me Logan, I was wrong I apologize to you here. I shouldn’t have spread rumors about you behind your back. Please withdraw the lawsuit, I’m really begging you. I promise I will never do this again in the
future.”
Mariela chuckled, “It was late.”
She looked at Macy coldly and said, “I have given you a chance. You have been spreading rumors about me for so many days. Have you come to apologize? Is it because I don’t get angry that you think I am easy to bully? Well then, both of you can suffer.
“Please give me a chance, I promise I will never do it again,” Macy pleaded, feeling completely panicked by Mariela’s attitude
Braxton saw that Mariela was being soft and decided to come on strong
He slapped Mariela’s face.
Mariela reacted quickly and dodged to the side.
“Is the dog desperate to jump over the wall?” Mariela stood up from her chair. “Weren’t you very capable when you were cursing at me earlier? Braxton cursed a few times and rushed over to start a fight again. Suddenly, two police officers wearing uniforms walked into the office. “Braxton, right? You were suspected of raping a minor. Come with us.” Braxton was handcuffed before he could even realize what had happened.
“Officer, is there a misunderstanding? I have never raped a minor, you have the wrong person.” Braxton said, looking terrified and panicked. Mariela crossed her arms and smiled innocently, speaking in a relaxed tone, “Didn’t I say it? The best part is yet to come.”
After Skyla resigned, Lyla Glenn, a senior lawyer in the litigation department, was promoted to supervisor.
Lyla was friendly to others, honest in her dealings, and had strong work abilities. She never played favorites with her subordinates. She was in charge and everyone enjoyed her presence.
Braxton’s colleagues knew that he was taken away by the police.
Many people privately asked Mariela Braxton what the deal was with her alleged rape of a minor. In line with her belief that “there will be consequences for crossing me,” Mariela would answer if someone asked her.
“Oh, well, I happened to come across a post on the social platform Little Green Book where a young girl was seeking help. She said she got drunk and was ‘picked up‘ by someone, but she was too afraid to report it, fearing that her family and classmates would find out and gossip about her.”
