"And right now, I disown Helen. I won't ever ask either of you for anything from now on! You're both pigs who deserve to be conned! Now, fuck off!"
The recording ended there, and the room was silent as Frank slowly returned his phone into his pocket.
At the same time, every Lanecorp employee was scowling awkwardly or in guilt.
The voice recording made it evident enough that Gina had been lying to them.
She claimed that Frank and Helen were working together to steal that land from her. However, the recording proved that she had sold it to Frank, while treating him like a sucker and subjecting him to every form of ridicule.
Frank, however, remained calm and reasonable, only for Gina to snap at him, calling him and her own daughter pigs.
And the evidence was solid—the recording remained proof no matter how much anyone would argue against it.
With a thud, Bob was on his knees right then, his lips shuddering as he turned toward Helen. "Ms. Lane, we…"
"It's alright, I understand—you mean no harm. You've just been manipulated." Helen smiled despite her tears.
It was like a ray of sunshine after the rain—every Lanecorp employee felt both guilt and warmth at once.
They had been way out of line, but their boss forgave them anyway.
Talk about magnanimity!
And once they were done apologizing to Helen, the hundred over employees of Lanecorp trained their hostile glares at Gina, Cindy, and Peter.
"You gave us all that crap, but you were slandering Ms. Lane all along!"
If people were convinced before that there were no parents who would besmirch their children's honor, Gina had now shown them a whole new world.
And she was standing right there, manipulating their sense of righteousness. To call her despicable was putting it lightly—it was the behavior of actual animals.
"Round them up! Punish them by the law!"
"Yes! Round them up!"
Gina, Cindy, and Peter turned pale as the shouts for their arrest resounded deafeningly.
Still, seeing that things were really bad, Cindy quickly switched sides and tried to bail herself out. "They planned all of this! I have nothing to do with it!"
