Love Together, Be With You Never

With a smile, I stood up and walked up to Armand. I took the tablet from his hand and slid the photos one by one, the smile on my face brighter. Then, I asked Armand to fetch a projector and project the photos on the tablet onto the blank wall. In an instant, the photo of me and another man was enlarged on the wall so that everyone could clearly see it.

"How shameless! I can't believe she's showing us such an indecent picture!"

"That's right. I thought she was just a vain woman after Mr. Charles' money. I didn't know she could be so shameless. She makes me sick! I feel like my insides are turning upside down because of her!"

"I feel like throwing up just by looking at her! I doubt she has any moral sense. She must be the most shameless woman in the world!"

Everyone couldn't help but curse me. I was also uncomfortable when looking at the enlarged photo. Although this body wasn't mine, my face was planted on it. It was so embarrassing!

Kieran's face was gloomy and cold. Although others couldn't tell, I knew that Kieran was unhappy. In fact, he was fuming.

"Rachael, why are you showing us the enlarged picture of you with another man? Do you want to prove your so-called innocence by making us look at the disgusting details?" said Everly in a mocking tone, standing in front of the projector and looking at me arrogantly.

"Rachael, you really should stop embarrassing Mr. Charles. Save Mr. Charles some dignity!" Alicia cried and ran over to grab my hand.

I smiled as I looked at Alicia's hand that was holding mine, saying, "Alicia, don't worry. I love Kieran so much that I wouldn't do anything to embarrass him. I'm proving to everyone that I'm innocent!" With that, I shook off Alicia's hand and walked up to the projector. I took a long stick and pointed at the photo, saying slowly, "I believe everyone has seen these photos. I thought you would easily figure out that the photos had been doctored, so I never said anything before. But, to my surprise..." I smiled coldly and looked at everyone in the office.

"Rachael, you said the photo is doctored. Tell me, which part of it is not real!" Everly said sarcastically.

"Rachael, there is no point in struggling anymore. Stop making up lies. If your lies are exposed, Kieran will be a laughing stock!" said Alicia in a seemingly earnest tone.

I looked from Everly and to Alicia before I smiled and said, "Alicia, don't worry. I'm not making up any lies. Every word I say will be nothing but true, and nobody will be able to prove otherwise. You can rest assured!"

Alicia stared back at me, eyes filled with contempt and deep mockery, as if they were mocking me for being a clown, wanting to see how I made a fool of myself!

I gave her a faint smile. I knew that although Alicia sounded like she wanted to protect Kieran's dignity, she was in fact trying to remind Kieran that I had insulted him and hit a never in him.

Unfortunately, Alicia still did not know Kieran well enough!

I looked up at the crowd, smiling and saying, "Ms. Everly, did you just ask me which part of the photo is not real? I thought you would have spotted the trick at a glance. After all, you're so well-educated. You disappointed me."

Everly's face darkened, and I said, "It's not a surprise, though. After all, you're always so eager to kick me out of Universal Group and drive me out of Kieran's life. But you failed." "Rachael, this place has no room for your bullshit. If you want to prove your innocence, show us the evidence. None of us want to listen to your nonsense!" Everly said sternly.

"Right, show us the evidence. Otherwise, don't say anything to make us feel sick!"

"That's right. Every word you say now is deeply disgusting. Don't let me hear your voice!"

Everyone echoed Everly in rage.

I dropped the smile and glanced at everyone coldly, "Alright, if you want evidence, I'll show you!"

I replayed all the photos. "There are a total of 50 photos, 20 men, and a woman, who is me!"

"You've got a nerve to say it aloud! There are a total of twenty men. A decent woman can't date twenty men in such a short time!"

"This is only what we find from the photos. I bet there are more than twenty men actually! Disgusting!"

"If she were my daughter, I would have killed her. She disgraced her whole family!" Everyone cursed angrily.

"Of course, No decent woman can date so many men in such a short time, not to mention having sex with them. All of you are right. Any parent would disown their daughter or kill her if she disgraces the family like that. However, we should use our judgment wisely and not jump to a conclusion. This is one of the principles of Universal Group. Therefore, I urge you not to jump to any conclusions and let me finish!" Although I was smiling, the smile didn't reach my eyes. In an instant, nobody dared to speak again.

I looked coldly at everyone and said, "It's obvious that these photos have been doctored, but apparently none of you can see it. Such being the case, I'll explain it to you in detail, so as to prevent you from being fooled and used!"

"First of all, the most obvious thing, which even a fool should have spotted, is that my facial expression is exactly the same in these 50 photos. The postures are different, but the expression on my face is always the same!" With that, I played the fifty photos one by one slowly. "Look carefully and you can see that the smile on my face doesn't reach the eyes. It's a professional and polite smile. As everyone here is an adult, I believe you all have once been in love. You should know that when a woman is having sex with her loved one, she's naturally happy. Even if I don't really like some of these men, there's at least one I truly like!" I deliberately stopped switching, leaving the photo of me and Marlon on the wall.

I looked at Alicia and continued with a smile, "For example, Mr. Redford of Marlon Group. Not only is he handsome, but his figure is also as good as a model. And he is rich. I think none of the females sitting here will dislike Mr. Redford. Such being the case, shouldn't I look happier when taking a photo in a bed with Mr. Redford?"

"Alicia, am I right?" I looked straight at Alicia and said, "You know better than anyone how charming Mr. Redford is, right?" Alicia's face darkened at once.

"Right. I didn't look carefully before. It seems like Rachael's expression never changes in these photos. This isn't right!"

"Indeed. Although she's smiling, she doesn't look happy at all. I was always happy when taking photos with my ex-boyfriend in the past!"

"I agree. I would be shy, especially when taking this kind of private photos. But in the photos, Rachael looks like she's smiling at a customer!" Everyone started discussing. I smiled and looked at Alicia and Everly!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
