Chapter 419


    J returned to the Larson Group’s headquarters the next morning.


    She heard some peopleughing inside the design department. But the second they saw here in,


    an ominous silence ensued in the room.


    Everybody else in the office realized that there was a tension in the room, so they all nced at the


    door.


    “Hey! Shut up! Can’t you see that J is here already?”


    “Wait… Is J the one who’s secretly married to Mr. Larson?”

    “Who else could it be?”


    J could hear them whispering among each other, and they all sounded surprised.


    Deciding to ignore them, she went to her seat and sat down as if nothing happened.


    When Gerda saw J, she poked her head out and went to thetter’s seat. Visibly excited, she said,


    “My queen! You’re finally back! Everyone in thepany is shocked to hear the news about you and


    Mr. Larson!”


    J could tell from the look on Gerda’s face that thetter was excited.


    “Who spread the news?” she asked.


    Gerda had no idea either. “When I arrived at thepany yesterday, everybody was already


    discussing that you’re the CEO’s wife. Someone even took a video of Mr. Larson chasing after you!”


    When J looked around, the people inside the department fell into deeper silence. The air felt tense


    and it grew worse with every passing second.


    The moment she entered thepany building earlier, she could sense that people were looking at her


    differently. Some were curious; others were confused. But most of them were giving her a modicum of


    respect, and were cautious around her. It seemed that the entirepany already knew that she was


    Brandon’s wife.


    “Everyone’s scared of you now!” Gerda dered as she looked around.


    J burst intoughter. “Why would they be scared? Do they think I’m going to bite their heads off or


    something?”


    Gerda winked at her and replied, “It’s because of your conflict with Patty. It didn’t end well, did it? Didn’t


    you feel that everyone was keeping their distance from you at the time?”


    “Of course, I did! Patty’s boyfriend is a department head of ourpany. I can understand why


    everyone chose to side with her,” J responded.


    It was difficult to keep healthy interpersonal rtionships in the corporate world. In their world, any


    common fool who would go up against someone who had connections, someone like Patty, would just


    be asking for trouble.


    “Well, that’s the point! Since you’re the wife of the boss, you’repletely different in everyone’s eyes


    now. They’re all nervous around you, because they’re scared you’ll take revenge on them,” Gerda


    remarked with glee.


    She wasn’t a sensitive person, and she had always been on J’s side. Thus, she wasn’t nervous


    around her. As a matter of fact, this turn of events excited her.


    J lowered her head and said, “I’ve already got a lot on my te now. I don’t have time to waste


    seeking revenge on everyone.”


    Gerda pouted. “They just feel guilty. Putting that aside… What the hell, Lind? How could you hide the


    fact that you’re Mr. Larson’s wife from us?”


    A bitter smile appeared on J’s face.


    ‘How am I supposed to answer that question? I don’t even know the answer, myself.’


    Although it was quiet in the design department, all eyes were on J.


    Just as she was feeling unsettled, someone gave her a pat on the shoulder from behind. “Lind, can I


    see you in my office?”


    Tiffany stood behind J, crossing her arms. She looked as calm as ever, and she acted like she


    always did.
