Chapter 132


    Many employees in thepany knew Elspeth, and they could roughly remember that there was a


    man who turned up out of nowhere, saying that Elspeth was his wife. In the end, he just made a fool


    out of himself, but this time… looking at how desperate that woman was crying, she really might have


    been cheated on.


    All the colleagues had a wait-and-see attitude, but only Elspeth stood alone, not far from them, with a


    calm face as though she wasn’t bothered at all.


    After crying for some time, the woman noticed that she was being watched like a monkey in a zoo.


    Fright took over her, so she stopped crying and swiftly got up from the ground. “What excuse do you


    have, huh? You’re the one who seduced my husband first. Why are you quiet? Are you guilty?”


    When Elspeth saw the woman bawling, she knew that this person wasn’t purposely causing a scene


    maliciously. Her husband had most likely cheated on her.


    “Tell me. Who’s your husband?” She was a little troubled. It seems like I need to deal with another


    person’s family problem again.


    “My husband is the key person in yourpany and the leader of the Technical Department, Evan


    Steward!” After she imitated the words that her husband said every time he returned home, it elicited


    an unexpected burst ofughter.


    “What are y’allughing at? What’s so funny?” She had a southern drawl, and though her words. were


    comprehensible, her tone sounded unsophisticated.


    Instantly, the employees started whispering. “Mr. Steward looks so serious on the outside. I didn’t know


    that he has a wife.”


    “He even blew his own horn in front of his wife. That’s hrious,”


    “I feel bad for his wife. She’s been fooled so badly. Pity her.”


    Meanwhile, Elspeth took a deep breath before asking, “Are you really married to Evan Steward?”


    Realizing that she was being doubted, the woman raised her voice. “Of course, it’s true. If you don’t


    believe me, I can return home now and grab our marriage certificate.”


    “It’s okay. There’s no need for that. I believe you.” Elspeth shook her head. “But I still need to tell you


    this. I don’t know Mr. Steward, and neither do I have his number or follow him on any social tform.”


    With disbelief written on her face, the woman gasped a little. “How is that possible? I saw him DM you


    on Instagram that night when he came home drunk. It was your name in the chat box. I


    When Elspeth heard that, she arched her brows. “What happened then? Didn’t you confront


    him?”


    “Of course, I didn’t! My husband is a hardworking and conscientious man. So, it must have been you


    who seduced him first. I’ve read the messages, and the one who starts texting first is always you!”


    Elspeth didn’t know how to react. “To be frank, I’ve never met Mr. Steward. But, Mrs. Steward, you can


    try asking my colleagues whether I have anything to do with him.”


    Startled, the woman studied all the mocking gazes from all around her and decided to continue


    arguing. “I don’t care. They’re all on your side. I won’t believe them.”


    “If so, can you tell me why I would hook up with your husband?”


    With her chin lifted, the woman told Elspeth everything good about Evan. “Of course, it’s because he’s


    extraordinary. He’s good-looking, has a good temper, and works for such a bigpany. He even


    received many awards. I think it’s normal for a woman to fall for him.”


    At this moment, Elspeth rubbed her chin, making a thoughtful expression. “So, are you saying that he’s


    extraordinary?”


    “Ain’t that it?” As her words resonated around the room, they elicited another burst ofughter.


    “Do you know who my boyfriend is, then?”


    It was obvious that the woman had no idea as she looked into Elspeth’s eyes nkly and asked,


    “Who’s your boyfriend?”


    “My boyfriend is the president of thispany. Now, you tell me. Whom will I choose? A handsome


    and rich president or an ordinary tech guy?”


    The woman was misdirected as well. “Of course, a handsome and rich president.”


    “That’s right. Now, am I pretty?” Elspeth smiled brightly at the woman.


    Of course, the


    man knew Elspeth was beautiful. She had eyes akin to the stars, as though they could touch one’s


    soul. Not only that, she had a mysterious aura with a bluish tint in her eyes. Most importantly, from her


    attire, she didn’t seem like a woman whom an ordinary man couldy hold off, so even when the


    woman knew that her husband was extraordinary, he might not be good enough for Elspeth.


    “You are. You are very pretty.”


    “So why would I fall for an ordinary man?” This was how confident Elspeth was. She deserved a fine


    man with any of her hidden identities, so why would she fall for a so-called ‘key person in


    “Even when the president of thispany has feelings for me, he needs to pursue me step by step.


    Who do you think your husband is for me to call him ‘darling?” Elspeth’s words were so impable that


    even ina was shocked, watching from the side.


    ina had thought of several ways that Elspeth would counterattack. It might be using glib phrases to


    win the argument, asking people to throw the woman out, or confronting Evan straight away. Yet, she


    had never imagined that Elspeth would use such a confident and

    outrageous way.


    It was a useful tactic, as the woman was stunned after hearing all that. Then, the expression on her


    face turned perplexed. “So, who’s the person who slid into my husband’s DMs?”


    As Elspeth lowered her head, she asked, “Do you know what’s her Instagram handle?”


    With sudden realization, the woman replied, “Yes! I took the chance to note down her handle on my


    phone when my husband was asleep. Here!”


    When ina heard that from the corner, her back was soaked in cold sweat instantly. Didn’t Evan say


    that his wife is illiterate? Why is she so smart? She even wrote down my handle. Isn’t this going to


    expose me for sure?


    She took a few steps backward, preparing to leave the office. However, the moment the colleague


    beside her saw that she was in distress, he asked, “You don’t look so well, Miss Sullivan. Are you


    sick?”


    Awkwardly, ina chuckled. “Yes, I’m unwell. I’m thinking about going to the hospital.”


    “Let me give you a ride. You’re cold-sweating.”


    I should already be out of the office with the time I wasted on this small talk! ina was so pissed, but


    she still continued saying, “Thanks. It’s fine.” Within seconds, their voices grabbed Elspeth’s attention.


    When she noticed that ina looked like she wanted to run away, she gradually took out her phone to


    compare the Instagram handle. As expected, it was ina’s doing.


    Although she knew that it was ina, she still asked people around her with a surprised expression,


    “Can you guys tell whose handle this is? I can’t figure it out.”


    As soon as her colleagues around her saw the ID, they recognized it immediately. “Isn’t this ina’s?


    I’m very familiar with her username. I evenplimented her, saying that her handle is.nice.”


    At once, ina’s action of running away came to a halt, and she felt embarrassed. Suddenly, an idea


    popped into her head, and her fingers moved swiftly across her phone. Now that I’ve changed my


    Instagram handle, no one can recognize that it’s me!
