The Night I Refused to Save Her Chapter 10
“Five employees shared Jake’s photo in external chat groups.”“Two others uploaded videos from the rooftop parking deck to Tiktok.”I opened the file.Jake’s face had been cropped from the footage, with shocking red captions added beside it.**Rich heir assaults female trainee.****Brooks family’s golden son forces woman to jump off a building.**My fingers curled tightly into my palm.In my previous life, my brother had suffered through an even more brutal wave of online harassment.Thank God this time, I stopped it before it went too far.A knock came at the door.Before I could answer, a woman pushed her way inside.Her hair was messy, and her eyes were swollen from crying.A security guard followed behind her, looking helpless.“Ms. Sarah, she says she’s Emily’s mother. She insists on seeing you.”The woman rushed in and dropped to her knees.“Ms. Sarah, please, I’m begging you.”“Emily is still young. She didn’t know what she was doing.”“She only made a mistake in a moment of des

“Calling the police today was bad for the company’s reputation.”I let out a cold laugh.“Bad for the company’s reputation?”“When Emily was standing on the rooftop parking deck threatening to jump, and dozens of employees called him a rapist, you didn’t think that hurt the company’s reputation?”“But when I called the police to find out the truth, suddenly I’m the one causing problems?”“Oh, and if I remember correctly, you were the one who recommended Emily for this job.”The chairman shot the director a cold glance.“Sarah’s actions were completely appropriate.”“Emily’s candidate status is revoked.”“Michael Carter is suspended and will cooperate with both the police investigation and the company’s internal investigation.”“As for the employees who spread rumors today and pressured the Brooks family into a private settlement, all of them will be suspended pending review.”The coworkers who had just arrived at the conference room went pale.One of them even broke down crying.Footst

Michael Carter’s temple throbbed.“You’re insane.”“When did I ever say any of that?”“You’re just a trainee. How dare you accuse me?”Emily let out a cold laugh.“Oh, now you remember I’m just a trainee?”“You didn’t seem to think so when you were holding me in your arms.”The officer stepped forward.“That’s enough. Both of you are coming with us.”Michael refused to cooperate, repeating over and over:“She’s lying.”“We’re just a normal manager and employee.”Emily suddenly lunged at him and clawed at his face.“Bullshit!”“You planned all of this!”Her nails left several bloody scratches across his cheek.The sound of footsteps came from the parking deck entrance.The company’s legal team and the board secretary arrived.The secretary held a folder in her hand, her expression grim.She walked straight up to Michael.“Mr. Carter.”“The chairman has ordered your immediate suspension.”“The company will fully cooperate with the police investigation.”Sweat broke out on Michael’s foreh

“This isn’t something you can start and end whenever you want.”My boss suddenly spoke up.“Officer, Emily is emotionally unstable right now.”“She was standing on the edge of the rooftop parking garage just moments ago. She’s been through a lot of trauma.”“Why don’t we take her to the hospital first and handle the statement afterward?”I turned to look at him.“What are you so worried about, Mr. Carter?”His expression darkened.“Sarah, what exactly are you implying?”“I’m thinking about the safety of my employee.”“If something really happened to her here, could you take responsibility?”I looked at the officer.“I have another piece of evidence.”“It’s security footage from outside Emily’s apartment building.”The video played.It showed 11:26 p.m. last night.Heavy rain was pouring down.A black Jeep pulled up outside the apartment entrance.Emily stepped out of the building holding an umbrella.Her steps were steady.She wasn’t stranded. She wasn’t panicking.The car door opened.

Jake let out a cold laugh.“Mistaken?”“Weren’t you just saying you’d recognize me even if I turned to ashes?”Emily gripped the torn piece of fabric tightly in her hand.“I was terrified last night.”“It was dark outside, and the rain was pouring.”“The person was wearing a black jacket. He was driving a Jeep.”“I really thought it was you.”Her voice grew quieter with every word.My boss stepped forward, trying to smooth things over.“If it was just a misunderstanding, then we’ve cleared it up.”“Everyone, let’s get back to work. Don’t let this disrupt the office any further.”“Wait. This isn’t over.”My father’s voice cut through the crowd.My boss turned to him.“Mr. Brooks, she was under a lot of stress. Mistaking someone in that situation is understandable.”“Dragging this any further won’t benefit anyone.”Before my father could respond, Jake’s hands clenched into fists.“So that’s it? She just made a mistake?”“She almost destroyed my entire life!”“If we hadn’t had solid proof

I pulled up the replay of Jake’s livestream.“Take a good look. Who is this?”On the screen, Jake’s face appeared clearly in the camera.I looked at Emily and spoke slowly, word by word.“My brother livestreamed the entire night yesterday.”“His face was visible the whole time. He even sent out giveaways every thirty minutes to keep viewers engaged. Over a hundred thousand people watched.”I held my phone out in front of everyone.“The witnesses he has aren’t just my family. They’re the one hundred thousand people watching his livestream.”Emily’s face immediately went pale.A moment later, she gritted her teeth.“And you expect everyone to believe a livestream replay is real?”“Sarah, your family has money. How hard would it be to pay someone to stage a livestream?”The coworkers who had been exchanging uncertain looks quickly found their voices again.“She has a point. Who knows if it was prerecorded?”“Livestream footage can be edited too, right?”“For a wealthy family, creating fak
