Chapter 637

“Who is it? Who’s trying to harm me?” Fiona fumed.

The manager answered, “With the resources Mr. Gunner is giving you now, there are naturally many envious people.” Besides, Fiona often offended others. She would be in a worse situation then without Calvin’s support.

The manager couldn’t help but look down on Fiona. He wouldn’t be bothered to manage an artist like Fiona without Calvin’s connection. She lacked looks and talents and had poor social skills. Besides, she acted as if she was superior, expecting others to flatter and cater to her. Even with the slightest inconvenience, she would use Calvin’s influence to intimidate people.

Given that, the manager didn’t have much genuine sympathy for Fiona in her current predicament. “Why don’t you talk to Mr. Gunner and ask him to help suppress the trending topic?” the manager suggested.

Fiona was in a difficult situation. She couldn’t be bothered to listen to her manager’s advice if she could find Calvin. The trending topic would have been suppressed long ago. She replied vaguely, “I… I’ll talk to him about it later.”

After ending the call, Fiona trembled angrily and slammed her phone on the floor.

She thought, “The people waiting to laugh at me… Just wait. It’s my birthday banquet tomorrow, and Calvin will definitely attend! Make sure to see for yourself. I’m the one in the spotlight!”

In a quiet room, Calvin looked at the documents handed to him by his subordinate.

“Mr. Gunner, these are the records we found. Ms. Leighton did have a fever shortly after you were hospitalized and was sent to a hospital in Strico. According to the medical records from that time, she had multiple abrasions and bruises on her body. The hospital even suspected possible abuse and reported it to the police. The police have corresponding records,” Calvin’s subordinate reported.

Calvin’s gaze was fixed on a particular photo in the files. The photo was taken by the police officer at the time, capturing the injuries on the young girl’s body. Those photos were taken as potential evidence in case of abuse.

That meant that her time at the law firm would be limited.
