Chapter 765


    Agnes had never paid much mind to workce gossip, nor had she ever felt the need to exin


    herself. After all, her rtionship with Jared was bound to be discovered by her colleagues sooner or


    But when Ynda began to smear her name, Agnes couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.


    Ynda was livid when she found out about the rumors circting in the office.


    Agnes, after all, used to be an actress. Her innocent and righteous demeanor in the office had


    convinced everyone to take her side.


    Ynda alone knew about Agnes'' fa?ade of pretense.


    Now, almost everyone was using Ynda of favoritism and harboring unresolved feelings for Jared.


    Even the station manager had heard about the rumors.


    In the afternoon, Ynda was summoned to the manager''s office to exin herself. Despite the


    lengthy exnation and proving her innocence, Ynda exited the office with anger.


    As Ynda strutted into the News Department in her high heels, she barked at Agnes, “Agnes, get in


    my office.”


    Seeing the fury in Ynda''s eyes, Agnes knew her days were about to get tougher.


    Everyone looked at Agnes with sympathetic expressions. Ramona advised, “No matter what the


    director says, just let it go in one ear and out the other. Don’t let her provoke you into quitting. If you


    quit, you lose.”


    Agnes was the first one in a while who dared to stand up to the director, so everyone naturally sided


    with Agnes. They even came up with a slogan, "Protect our Agnes.”


    Under the encouraging gazes of her colleagues, Agnes walked into Ynda’s office.


    As soon as she entered, Ynda hurled a file towards Agnes'' direction.


    Agnes nimbly dodged it.


    “Director Bowman,” Agnes began. “What has got you so hot under the cor that you’re taking it out on


    me?”


    Seeing Agnes'' calm face only fueled Ynda''s anger. “Agnes, don’t y dumb. Did you start the


    rumors about me and Jared? I underestimated you, Agnes. I didn’t think you’d stoop so low to ruin my


    reputation. Now everyone’s saying I have a thing for Jared. Did you start it?”


    Agnes raised an eyebrow. “Director Bowman, it’s no secret that you once had a crush on Mr. Whitfield.


    If you were too obvious with your affectionsst night and want to pin the me on me, there’s not


    much I can do.”


    Yndaughed ironically, “So, is this the kind of lowly trick you’ve learned over the years?”


    Agnes replied coldly, “I’ve learned many things over the years, but one thing stands out. Never tolerate


    insults. If you mess with me, I will retaliate in kind. That’s fair. Ynda, let’s cut to the chase. You


    started the gossip to damage my reputation. I simply turned the tables on you. Now that you’re reaping

    what you sowed, don’t me others.”


    Ynda clenched her fist. This was not the Agnes she remembered.


    The Agnes she knew was a woman who hid behind Jared, alwaysughing off any humiliations for the


    sake of not causing him any trouble.


    She had never seen her as defiant and confident as she was now.


    Ynda sneered, “Agnes, you’ve be shameless, using your ex-husband for your own gain.”
