Chapter 325 - Great Rewards
Karina stared at Lisa with burning anger. She still insisted on convincing the manager that Lisa was intentionally doing something indecent with the two mobs in the photo. The woman leaned towards the manager who was crossing his arms and said,
"Sir, do you know how Lisa was before she worked at this hotel!? I used to be in the same company with her in Jakarta and she really is an immoral woman!
"
Listening to Karina's words just now made the manager's curiosity even stronger. Karina used this opportunity to convince him, who seemed to be increasingly suspicious of Lisa.
"Sir, back when Lisa and I were still working in the same company and department, she seduced the president of the company and slept with him! Lisa was willing to sell her body only for money!
" Karina explained at length. Her face looked very convincing, so did her tone.
The expression on the man's face turned even more suspicious. He stared at Lisa with contempt and condescension.
Lisa couldn't stand the look on the manager's face. Her only hope to get away from this problem was Rangga. But how could she contact Rangga at a critical time like this? She couldn't go around calling the man just to defend her in front of the two snakes and the manager.
Lisa racked her brain to respond to the slander that Karina had just spewed in front of her manager. She turned her head and looked at Karina with a piercing gaze then said,
"How about your mother, huh? Do you think Veronica is a good woman? She's a homewrecker. Your mother made my father leave my mother and his family!
"
Hearing Lisa's reply, Karina was speechless. She tried to come back at Lisa and denied what she'd just said.
"Don't tell lies, you bastard! At least I don't seduce the company's president just for the sake of money like you! Also, don't you think it's embarrassing to have a widow as a mother? Look at your own mother before you talk about mine!
"
"Hey, my mother may be a widow, but she is a thousand times better than your homewrecker and cunning mother!
" Lisa replied, her voice was so loud that it echoed through the corners of the manager's room.
"Wow, did you hear yourself? You damn bitch! Don't talk as if you're innocent, you said my mother was a homewrecker and a cunning person, but do you think you are great? It's better if you just resign from your job. This job is too good for someone like you. You should just sell yourself as a whore!
"
Hearing the sharp words that Karina spewed just now drained Lisa's patience. Her palms were clenched tightly so that the veins on the back of her hand began to appear clearly. Lisa really wanted to punch Karina in the face, unable to stand that annoying look she showed her. But still, she had to keep her emotions in check.
"Karina, don't you—
"
Not finished with her words, the manager interrupted,
"That's enough, Lisa! This problem has to end. Our hotel will not be able to tolerate your dishonorable deed. The reputation of the Cendana hotel was bad because people did immoral things and I don't want that to happen again! After all, we have tried our best to restore the good image of the Cendana hotel. You'd better resign. This is the best for everyone.
"
The manager's response stunned Lisa, her lips sewn up, she couldn't say anything but kept her silence and stared at the manager with a look of disappointment.
"But sir... This is slander!
"
"My decision is final. Lisa Soewandi, I hereby declare you to—
"
Suddenly, a secretary and two policemen broke into the manager's room, shocking and stunning everyone inside.
They dragged the two mobs from the scene where Lisa was raped then the secretary said,
"Excuse me, manager, these two policemen want to talk to you.
"
One of the cops stepped forward to face the manager and asked,
"Is Miss Lisa here?
"
Without much thought, Lisa immediately raised her hand without hesitation.
The officer then continued,
"We caught these two who recently wandered the area of the Cendana hotel and they wanted to confess something.
"
Lisa looked at the thugs with disgust. She still remembered the ugly face of the man who had fondled her in a quiet alley a few days ago. One of them then looked down and said,
"I admit, it was me and my friend who attacked Miss Lisa. We both admitted that we were drunk that night and we could not hold our lust, so we forced Miss Lisa to play with us.
"
"Please don't kill us! We've apologized and confessed!
" The other thug begged.
"Shut up, you can talk about that matter in court tomorrow!
" The cop replied.
The other cop then added,
"So it's clear now, right? Miss Lisa is innocent. She's a victim, sir. Please understand that Miss Lisa also experienced internal trauma.
"
"I… I also saw these two women taking our pictures during the incident!
" One of the thugs said, pointing at Karina and Veronica.
Hearing the explanation, Karina and Veronica suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Their rotten plan was finally revealed. Even so, Veronica and her daughter wouldn't want to give up.
The woman approached the cop and said with a pitiful face,
"Sir, please! There must be a misunderstanding! We didn't do anything to Lisa! We were at the hotel that night!
"
"Wait, you said you took this photo, right?
" The manager asked, holding up the evidence and showing it to everyone in the room.
Veronica was stunned, she didn't have the chance to argue anymore. Her rotten plan had already been exposed, but she still insisted.
"Nonsense! I didn't trap Lisa! If you think so, where's the evidence then?!
"
"What if you check the CCTV footage on the day of the incident?
" Lisa said to the manager.
Without saying much, the manager immediately played the footage in question from his computer. It was true, Veronica and Karina went out of their room on the same day and time the incident took place.
The police then said firmly,
"You two, please come with us to the police station after this. We need to do some follow up.
"
"Please, sir! We are both innocent! Don't listen to Lisa's words, she's trying to frame us because she holds a grudge against us!
" Karina said in a clear voice. She dropped herself on her knees with both hands clasped as if she was begging to be forgiven for all the sins she had committed in life.
"No, Miss, you and your mother have to come with us to the police station. Don't resist order!
"
The police then dragged Veronica and Karina to the police station along with the two thugs. Seeing that sight instantly made Lisa's heart calm and relieved.
Those two snakes absolutely deserved it!
Meanwhile, the manager's room suddenly turned quiet and awkward. The man was still stunned by the incident just now. He couldn't process what'd just happened. Everything almost felt like a dream.
Lisa then looked back at the manager who was still gawking and said,
"Sir?
"
The man then looked into her eyes with regret.
"Lisa, I'm sorry ....
"
