Chapter 554 Do You Dare to Come Before Me? As Lisa’s emotions grew more agitated, a wave of journalists suddenly approached from a distance, capturing her attention. “Charlotte! You blatantly plagiarized others’ work, yet you escaped legal consequences just by throwing some money around! One day, you will face retribution!” Lisa’s voice was loud, quickly drawing the journalists’ focus. Lisa’s expression turned increasingly smug, and she provocatively glanced at Charlotte. “So what if you accuse me? Starting today, your reputation is bound to plummet, and countless people will criticize you! I will definitely witness your downfall!” Madness and twisted excitement filled Lisa’s eyes, prompting a slight furrow of Charlotte’s brows. By this time, the group of journalists had approached. Lisa instinctively adjusted her hair, moving forward to speak with them. But to her astonishment, the journalists unhesitatingly bypassed her, heading straight for Charlotte. Lisa was dumbfounded, and everyone present was stunned. “They…” Lisa pointed incredulously at the journalists, then suddenly seemed to realize something and swiftly turned her gaze toward Charlotte. Charlotte raised an eyebrow. “I’m sorry, but I’ve invited these journalists myself. I’m afraid none of the scenes you imagined will come to fruition.” Lisa was immediately infuriated by her words. She lunged towards Charlotte, cursing all the while, only to be kicked away by Joe standing nearby. Enter title… Lisa fell to the ground in shock, looking up at Joe, whose expression had grown solemn. Joe didn’t say a word to her. He simply withdrew his gaze with indifference, as if the creature he had just kicked away was an inconsequential bug.
His attitude ignited Lisa like a detonated bomb. She angrily roared, “The president of Smith Group’s trying to kill me! I’m calling the police!” The journalists exchanged puzzled looks. What kind of grudge or resentment could drive a woman to such madness? Was she determined to kill Charlotte? The security personnel approached promptly. Lisa seemed to be brought back to her senses, staggering to her feet and moving aside. A kind-hearted girl stepped forward to help her straighten her clothes and clean the dust off her attire. Meanwhile, Charlotte took out her phone and positioned herself in front of the live broadcasting cameras held by the journalists. She projected Yeates’s testimony, obtained from the police, onto the large advertising screen at the top of the building, repeating over and over again the entire process that Yeates had admitted to—from stealing the design plan to being bribed. Everyone was left stunned. Moreover, Charlotte presented records and timestamps from her computer concerning the design plan in question. “I didn’t respond earlier because I was busy gathering relevant evidence. Right from the beginning, it was Yeates who intentionally approached me and stole the design plan. Little did I know that even after all these years, someone would still lurk on the internet, maliciously affecting everyone around with pure ill intent.” After stating this, she uploaded all of Saxton’s statements and deeds to a webpage, leaving everyone stunned. Once she had laid out the evidence she had gathered before everyone, Charlotte suddenly turned her gaze towards the cameras. Her red lips curved into an ironic smile dripping with sarcasm.
“I know there are people manipulating them from behind. Since you have the ability to hide, do you dare to come before me?
