“It seems… there is indeed such a matter.”

Hearing Nancy’s words, Harriet became nervous instantly.

“As far as I know, Eliana was an employee in your department back then. Is that correct? As the director during that time, you should be held responsible for such a life-threatening matter.”

Nancy’s tone was serious, and her face turned grim, leaving Harriet overwhelmed with worry.

However, it seemed that Nancy only brought up the topic just to intimidate Harriet. Eliana didn’t feel concerned at all and was very touched instead.

Finally, she had a supporter to back her up. Nancy was clearly standing up for her.

“Miss Stone, what do you have to say for yourself? Do you have a problem with what I said?”

Nancy knowingly stared at her and continued, “I used to be a young woman like you. I know that girls always come up with all kinds of ideas to get what they want. Some do whatever it takes, even if it means hurting others.”

Listening to Nancy’s remarks, Harriet could only lower her head in embarrassment.

Nancy was well-respected by society and held at high regard by her peers due to her commanding presence and astounding intellect. Although she was no longer the young and physically strong woman she once was, Harriet could easily tell why such a powerful man like Earle valued her insight on important matters.

“Mrs. Moran, you are absolutely right!” Harriet hurriedly explained. “I didn’t personally hurt anyone. It’s just that some of my men didn’t handle the matter properly. But don’t worry as I’ve already taught them a lesson. Rest assured, it won’t happen again.”
