Chapter 17
"My goodness, how exciting! That''s Mr. Reid''s wife! What a cheater!" Onement wrote.
"But why did the high and mighty Mr. Reid marry a mute? That makes no sense," said another.
"That woman looks quite pretty, what kind of horrible taste in men must she have to like that bald
teacher? That''s disgusting!"
An endless row ofments shot into rk Reid''s vision like an eyesore.
He shot up abruptly and marched out of the office after grabbing his jacket.
Jeremy followed closely behind and thought to himself, "It''s over for Mrs. Reid… "
Shortly after, the Maybach pulled into the manor.
rk chucked his phone in front of Judy as soon as he entered the manor.
Judy was taking a nap, and was groggily woken up by his abrupt actions. She sat up hurriedly and
picked up the phone in a daze. Then, she clicked on the link that was disyed on the phone.

Her face gradually darkened as she scrolled down.
Who posted these things online?
Quite a few people knew about the incident in highschool, but nothing has ever happened all these
years. Why is it blowing up now?
The man''s cold voice rang from above her. "What is the meaning of this?"
Judy pursed her lips tightly. She felt extremely stressed. She hurriedly jotted her exnation on
paper.
"I don''t know what''s going on either." It read.
The bald teacher''s crude statement, as well as the disgusting rumors of her seducing her teachers
were all false and made-up!
He didn''t get a chance to reply before Sally stormed in with Jenna in tow.
The older woman was fuming. She pointed a finger at Judy and started yelling, "You shameless
woman! The Reid family''s reputation ispletely ruined because of you! Look at all those
scandals of yours on the Inte right now!"
Jenna stood behind her. A hint of triumph shed across her eyes at the sight of her sister''s pale
expression.
She pretended to be concerned for her and asked, "What''s going on, Judy? Isn''t that man your high
school gym teacher? Why would he say such a thing? Is he trying to get back at you for breaking up
with him?"
Jenna intentionally emphasized the words "high school gym teacher" and "break up."
Sally blew up upon hearing this. "Even Jenna knows about this, how are you supposed to exin
yourself now!"
Judy turned toward Jenna and wrote: "You''re lying. Can you swear I broke up with that PE
teacher?"
Jenna didn''t care for details like these. She put on an aggrieved expression and said, "How could
you say that to me, Judy? I''m just worried about you."
She was somitted to the act that Judy thought her sister should''ve be an actress—her
talents would''ve been wasted otherwise.
Hence, she turned to look at rk instead. His eyebrows were deeply furrowed as he eyed her with
an analytical expression. She thought for a moment before writing again:
"I didn''t do any of those things, please believe me."
Sally pointed a finger at Judy''s nose and said, "You mute, this was clearly something you did out of
your own free will, now you''re iming that you''re being set up?
"I''ll have you kicked out of the manor by today. We don''t want women with no self-respect like you!"
Judy knew that she rified everything that needed to be exined. It didn''t matter if Sally Hebert
believed her or not, what mattered more was whether or not rk believed her.
Only rk has the ability to help her prove her innocence! That''s why she kept eyeing his
expression.
Upon being ignored, Sally was fuming. Her words became more demeaning by the second.
"Why would they talk about you in particr instead of others? The way you behave is the problem!
I''d advise you not to defend yourself anymore.
"This incident has been spreading like wildfire—Everyone knows about it. Don''t me me for being
heartless, but there''s no room for you here at the Reid family!"
Sally abruptly shoved her.
Judy was taken aback by her sudden push and struggled momentarily to regain her bnce.
She subconsciously looked toward rk, only to be met with cold and unfeeling eyes. His gaze
didn''t waver at all.
Judy''s heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
