Chapter 99


    “Mom, let me give you a back rub.” Elowen kicked off her shoes. She quickly climbed onto the couch,


    her small hands on Thssa’s shoulders, kneading away.


    “Mom, Ill massage your legs.” Dorian toddled over, his little palms rubbing Thssa’s legs, his baby


    face filled with concentration.


    Atticus and Sophia joined in too. Sophia worked with Elowen, one on each side, massaging Thssa’s


    back. Atticus teamed up with Dorian, each taking a leg.


    Even though the kids’ strength was far from enough to give a proper massage, Thssa felt a warmth


    in her heart. Her fatigue was swept away, reced by a sense of happiness.


    “Thssa, you’re usually not this wom out from work. What happened?’ Evelyn emerged from the


    kitchen, noticing her daughter’s unusual state, she couldn’t help but express concern.


    While being pampered by her four children, Thssa said to Evelyn, “I got to work today and found out


    everyone was talking about the CEO and his secretary. And somehow, the secretary imed it was me


    who spread the rumors. I felt so wronged.”


    “Well, you should’ve exined. We can’t just be med for no reason” Evelyn, who is usually quite


    strict with Thssa and always pushing her to improve, is firm when ites to principles and expects


    Thssa to stand her ground as well.


    Their family was honest and hardworking, they couldn’t just be falsely used.


    Thssa said, “I did exin. But yesterday when I was cleaning the CEO’s office, I happened to see


    the secretary confessing her feelings to the CEO. She used that as a reason to use me of


    spreading rumors.”


    “That’s tricky. You need to find proof to vindicate yourself. Evelyn also felt troubled.


    The worst thing Thssa could do now was to quit. If she did, it would look like she was guilty and had


    resigned, this would solidify the usations of her spreading rumors.


    Thssa understood this. It was the reason she hadn’t tendered her resignation.


    “Today, while I was cleaning the CEO’s office, I noticed there’s a CCTV camera. It must’ve recorded me


    in the office yesterday. If there’s a video, it would prove I didn’t overhear their conversation. Ill ask the


    CEO to review the footage tomorrow and clear my name. Don’t worry, mom.” Thssa said


    optimistically.


    Even though Evelyn was often strict with her, Thssa always feltfortable sharing her problems


    with her mother. Because her mother was principled when it came to interpersonal rtionships and


    worldly matters.


    This was in line with Thssa’s own values.


    “That’s good, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.” Evelyn said.


    After dinner. Thssa, Astrid, and Evelyn sat in the living room watching TV.


    In the bedroom, the four children were huddled together.


    The kids were discussing something important.


    “Mom was wrongly used, we need to think of a way to help her.” Atticus, being the eldest, rallied his


    younger siblings to brainstorm.


    “I feel so bad for mom. She’s so kind and sweet, why is she always bullied?” Dorian pouted, hisrge


    eyes filled with sympathy for Thssa


    ‘Ill cuddle with mom tonight, to make sure she doesn’t cry.” Elowen’s voice was soft, his big eyes


    brimming with tears.


    “I n to go to thepany with mom tomorrow and tell her boss that she didn’t do anything wrong.”


    Sophia raised her hand, offering her suggestion.


    Atticus replied, “No, you’re too young.”


    “Okay..” Sophia seemed a little disappointed.


    Atticus, his young but deep eyes looking at Dorian, made a decision, “Tomorrow, Dorian and I will go.


    You two stay home and stay with grandma,”


    The next day.


    Thssa arrived at thepany on time. There were already people in the elevator, the doors were


    about to close.


    ”


    Thssa hurriedly quickened her pace, “Wait, please!”

    She dashed over, just as the elevator doors were about to close, she stepped in. Everyone in the


    elevator was her colleague.


    As soon as she entered, she noticed everyone was looking at her strangely.


    She thought it was because she ran too hastily and might have disturbed others, so she bowed her


    head slightly and smiled


    apologetically.


    A woman sneered, “Isn’t this the janitor who was spreading rumors about her and Mr. Sinir


    yesterday? She’s trying to worm her way into Mr. Sinir’s bed, even trying to move up in society. But it


    seems she’s still working in the Cleaning Department, guess it didn’t work out, huh?
