Chapter 1308
Charles was incredibly flustered as his cheeks were a burning shade of red. “You people are slandering me! I never
did anything!”
“Heh… You‘re the one who wronged her in the first place! You tried to take advantage of her because she‘s pretty.
I‘ve seen plenty of men like you.”
Charles wanted to charge at them.
Sylvia and Christopher quickly held him back.
Sylvia spoke up and directly addressed Odell, “Odell, I believe him. He‘d never do something like that.”

The people who were against Charles kept their mouths shut when they saw Sylvia speaking up for him again.
Odell zipped his lips into a thin line with a serious expression.
Shermaine suddenly said, “Mrs. Carter, do you have some kind of bad impression of me? Do you think I‘m someone
who would accuse him without any grounds?”
She seemed very vexed by the situation. Sylvia frowned deeply. She had not forgotten what Shermaine had done
for Madam Carter but the fact that Shermaine was now standing next to Odell in a getup that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas nearly identical to what she herself was wearing roused a strange, repulsive feeling inside her.
While she was pondering over what to say, Cliff suddenly spoke up, “Ma‘am, I know Shermaine well enough. I don‘t
think she‘d lie.”
Sylvia turned to Odell again.
He spoke at last, “I trust Shermaine too.”
He spoke in a deep and unfaltering voice.
Shermaine cast a wounded look at Sylvia as if to call for justice.
Everyone was casting the same look at Sylvia. It was as if they were accusing her of standing up for her colleagues
without considering the reality of the situation.
Sylvia clenched her hand into a fist. Perhaps she had been falsely accusing Shermaine this entire time as well? She
felt a suffocating feeling rising in her chest as she turned to Odell for his verdict. “How do you plan to handle this?”

Odell glanced at the hotel manager. “We’re taking this to the police. Let them deal with it.”
“Alright.” The hotel manager took the hint and promptly asked, “Master Carter, who are we bringing to the police?”
It seemed like he was having a hard time deciding who
was guilty here.
Odell darted a look at Charles. “Him.”
The hotel manager left after that.
Charles was infuriated by the decision and lost his mind as he yelled like a madman, “Odell, I never did anything to
her! What right do you have to point your finger at me? Just because she‘s your secretary? Are you on her side
because there‘s something more to your relationship with her?”
He continued advancing toward Odell. It took several men to hold him back this time.
A dark gloom suddenly washed over Odell‘s face.
Sylvia was just as caught off guard by Charles‘ remarks.
Everyone fell into an awkward silence.

Shermaine suddenly scuttled away from Odell to keep some distance from him. She declared coldly and
affirmatively , “I‘m only Master Carter‘s secretary. I‘m doing nothing but honest work for him. He‘s someone with a
family. Hell, his wife is standing right next to you! You accusing me of something I‘ve never done is one thing, but
accusing Master Carter is an entirely separate and unforgivable matter!”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was no longer any remnant of sanity in Charles’ mind by this point. “You look just like Sylvia except you‘re
younger than her. Who knows why Odell is
keeping you around the office as his secretary? Judging by how cunning you are, I wouldn‘t be surprised if you dug
your claws into him already!” 2
“You… You have no idea what you‘re talking about!” Shermaine cried out and charged at him. It looked like she was
going to strike him.
It was Cliff who rushed forward and stopped her.
He dragged her aside and tried to calm her down. “Don‘t be rash. He‘s all out of options and is trying to make up
any excuse to distract us from what he‘s done. Don‘t fall for it.”
Charles exclaimed, “I was wronged! I never did anything to her. I‘d never do anything as disgusting as that!”
Christopher patted him on the back. “Charles, calm down.
With that, he turned to Odell. “Master Carter, Charles has been teaching at our academy for seven to eight years
by this point and I know him very well. He has a good sense of humor and is very popular with all of the students
and has never been in any scandals involving female students. Based on my years of professional teaching
experience, I can assure you that he‘s not someone who would do anything vile as molesting a woman.” Odell
seemed sullen by this point. He looked at Sylvia and did not utter a word.
Someone in the crowd sneered and said with scorn in his voice, “Heh... Impressions can be wrong. I‘d suggest you
stop defending him.” “Besides, look at him. He‘s a grimy pervert no matter how you look at him.“
