Chapter 216
Neveah shouted defiantly, “I told you that you wanted to marry a rich man, so what? Ms. Frazier is right, there are always shameless women like you who throw themselves at men-”
As soon as the words fell, Dorothy slapped her backhandedly, decisively.
Everyone around couldn’t help but be attracted by the movement and stillness.
Neveah was initially stunned, but then she regained her composure and, feeling angry, was about to fight back
Dorothy grabbed her hand and slapped it again.
Until her whole body leaned to one side.
“You dare hit me!” Neveah’s eyes turned red with anger, covering her cheeks and shouting, “Security! Call security now!”
In no time, the company’s security guards rushed over.
Neveah pointed at her, “She caused trouble in the company and even hit me! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take her to the police station for me!”
“Everyone was present when you insulted me for no reason, that’s why I retaliated,” Dorothy’s face darkened. “I was looking for Mr. Lambert for a reason, but you maliciously spread rumors about me just because I am a woman. As a fellow woman, do you not feel ashamed to insult your female compatriots in this way?”
“Is this the attitude of the Lambert Group? Even if a mother fly flies in, she has to be scolded a few words, right?”
At this moment, the women around looked at Neveah with a more complex expression.
“What is it, isn’t she a woman herself?”
“Spreading rumors is really harmful.”
Neveah’s face turned pale, feeling guilty, “What…what are you talking about! Who told you that you didn’t have an appointment!”
“Irrespective of whether I have an appointment or not, it is not a valid reason for you to spread rumors about me,” Dorothy said calmly as she took out her phone. “I initially didn’t want to make the call myself, but since it has come to this, I have to contact Mr. Lambert personally.”
The front desk staff was surprised.
Did she really have Mr. Lambert’s phone number?!
Could it be that she really knew Mr. Lambert?
Neveah’s body suddenly trembled, she could think that she had been working in the company for six or seven years, and she had seen almost all the female clients who came to the company to see Mr. Lambert, but she had never seen her before!

She must have been bluffing!
Neveah snorted, “You can hit me, I don’t believe you really know Mr. Lambert.”
Dorothy dialed the number, but no one answered. Soon, a busy tone sounded.
Dialed twice, and connected in the call.
She laughed heartily, almost out of breath.
With the discussions of the people around her, Neveah became even more certain of her speculation, crossing her arms and raising her chin, “What did I say? Look, they even called Mr. Lambert. Who would believe such nonsense?”

Dorothy’s face darkened even more, thinking that Dwayne was intentional, she simply gave up arguing.
Ignoring the rumors around, he wanted to leave.
Neveah shouted for security to stop her.
“Exposed, no more pretending, now you want to run?” Neveah reached out and grabbed her arm, menacingly saying, “You just slapped me twice, I have to return the favor!”
As she spoke, her hand was about to smash down on Dorothy’s face.
