Chapter 251 Must You Take Things This Far?
"This might not work, since Emily's older brother is a close friend of mine. Hence, her issues are my issues. Let me make this clear today: either you heed Emily's request and apologize to her, or you prepare yourself for incarceration. Speak with my lawyer." "Two choices, Ms. Burton. Pick one."
That insufferable Samantha was overtly threatening her.
Hazel's hands, clenched into fists, relaxed and tightened again. If not for the police officer standing nearby, she would have lashed out at Samantha already. "Samantha, you're crossing the line!"
"Crossing the line?" Samantha responded with a calm nod. "Very well, I'll promptly involve my lawyer. Conveniently, your Burton Group is bidding for a project with Finley's company. As the heiress of the Burton Family, if you find yourself entangled in a lawsuit now, I suspect the Dean Corporation would promptly exclude your Burton Group from consideration."
Samantha's incisive remarks left Hazel completely at a loss for words.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She simply stared at Samantha, unable to believe her audacity. "Samantha, considering I am your senior, must you go this far?"
"I think I should make a call."
Samantha retrieved her phone,
pretending to dial Sidney's number. In that moment of desperation, Hazel turned to Emily, "I'm truly
sorry, Emily. I was in the wrong
shouldn't have falsely accused you. Please forgive me and don't proceed with the lawsuit. Could you ask Samantha to let me off the hook?"

Emily remained silent, but Samantha spoke up again, "Your apology has improved somewhat, Ms. Burton. However, I am curious about
something. You already gave that et
diamond necklace to Emily in the video, so why attempt to reclaim it just now? Or is it that you are simply unreliable? You pretended to gift the necklace to Emily as part of a scheme, but now that your plan has unraveled, you want it back. Is that it?"
Before Hazel could respond, Samantha, with a note of clear disdain, continued, "Ms. Burton, as the heiress of the Burton Family, how can you be so miserly? You gave the necklace away, yet now you want to retrieve it? Is there no shame in your actions?" Hazel stood speechless.
The image of the graceful, dignified Hazel had been shattered by Samantha's words. Her frustration boiled over. "Yes, I'm miserly! I don't keep my word! What are you going to do about it?"
Samantha smiled serenely. "Ms. Burton, there's no need to get so agitated. Calm down. At this moment, you're behaving like a shrew. Whether you're miserly, shameless, or unreliable is irrelevant to me. But..."
