Chapter 118


    “Who else would we be talking about?” The colleague, who originally had a decent rtionship with Tina,


    couldn’t help butment. “She’s super disgusting! I was blind to have watched over her at work in the


    past! To think that she’s a woman who’d sell her own body! How disgusting!”


    When Tina heard her colleagues ndering her like that, she finally realized the reason why everyone


    ignored her today. Her head buzzing with countless thoughts, she rushed into the pantry impulsively out


    of anger.


    “What the hell are you guys talking about? How dare you speak ill of people behind their backs! I hope


    your tongues rot and fall off one day!” Tina growled.


    Surprised by her appearance, those colleagues decided to reveal their true colors. “Your face should be


    the one rotting first, you despicable homewrecker! You’re such a shameless wh*re!”


    “What nonsense are you spouting this time?” Tina was so angry that her body shook. “Is it because of


    the b*llsh*t those hooligans spouted when they came here yesterday? You guys choose to believe them


    just like that?”


    “Everything happens for a reason! Why are you ming others for your own despicable actions? Why


    would they seek you instead of other people?”

    “Stop using me of things I’ve never done! I can always sue you for ndering my name!” Tina replied


    angrily, clenching her fists.


    “I speak nothing but the truth. You speak as if I’m scared of you suing me! I honestly have no idea how


    thick-faced you are for daring to return to this ce. The things that you’ve done in the past are all


    exposed on the inte! What the hell are you acting all innocent for, huh?”


    A colleague unlocked her phone and showed a news article to Tina.


    “Your immorality has been exposed on the inte. Look at this article. Half a year ago, you seduced


    someone else’s boyfriend and got expelled as a result. After that, you start indulging in physical


    rtionships with countless others! Someone sought you out and punished you for wrecking their


    marriage! All the evidence is here, so I’d like to see how you’ll defend yourself!”


    Tina was shocked to find her picture stered on Freesia’s local news. The reporter of that article used


    her old university’s forum thread that ndered her name back then andbined it with the incident


    where the hooligans sought her out yesterday as reference. They made up apletely false article


    based on those references.


    She was so furious, her body shook. All of her colleagues in the pantry were staring at her mockingly,


    waiting for her to embarrass herself. Their eyes were filled with disdain, their


    stares like needles pricking her heart without stopping.


    But all Tina could say was, “Things aren’t like that!”


    However, no one believed her.


    “Listen to her! She’s still trying to lie to us after all this time!”


    “How revolting. Everyone, stay away from her! Anyone who ate with her back then better go to the


    hospital for a checkup. Don’t get infected with weird diseases because of her!”


    Tina could no longer bear to listen to such rumors ndering her name. She spun on her heel and ran


    out of the art studio. Just then, she bumped into her boss, who was returning from the outside.


    “Ouch! Hey! Who ran into me?” the boss asked crossly.


    Tina was stunned for a moment before she grasped onto her boss’ hand like he was her final hope.


    “Boss, you’re finally back! You know all about what happened to me, right? Please exin everything for


    me! I’m not that kind of woman…” The moment the boss noticed Tina, his expression changed drastically


    and he stepped away from her quickly. “You’re already fired, so what the hell are you doing here?” he


    hollered. Tina couldn’t believe her ears. Back then, her boss was kind to her and vowed to nurture her


    talent and potential. Why would he say such hurtful things? “I’ll give you three months’ worth of sry.


    It’s eighteen thousand dors, so I’ll round it up to twenty thousand. Now, get the hell out of here! Don’t


    bring trouble to my art studio!” he added, impatient. Tina’s lips couldn’t help but tremble. “B-But…” “Are


    you trying to threaten me by using Mr. Carter’s name?” The boss chuckled coldly. “He’s on a business


    trip these days, so he doesn’t have time to deal with matters like this. Besides, he’s only staying in


    Freesia temporarily to deal with the coboration, so he’s just toying around with you. Now that you’ve


    invited so much trouble to your doorstep, I advise you to think how you should exin everything to him


    later.” Then, the boss summoned the security guards to chase Tina out of the studio ruthlessly. Tina


    found herself walking aimlessly on the street. Not only did her injuries hurt, but her heart was also


    throbbing in pain. Why would everyone treat her like this? Who was the mastermind behind everything?


    If the mastermind knew about what happened to her in her university, did that mean the Lynds were the


    brains behind the operation? Tina’s head was crammed with all sorts of thoughts. Just then, her phone


    started ringing from her pocket. The caller was John Carter.
