Chapter 276


    Even Marilyn''s assistant hesitated to speak.


    “What''s wrong with you all? Can''t you talk?” Marilyn asked again.


    “You''re on the trending headlines again, but this time, it''s not for a good reason. You''d better steel


    yourself,” her assistant said somewhat worriedly before passing the phone to Marilyn.


    Marilyn had a sinking feeling as she gazed at the others'' expressions.


    When she checked the list of trending headlines and saw the video and photos, she was utterly


    stunned, and the color drained from her face.


    “How did this happen? Who did this?” she muttered in a panic.


    A video like this circting online will wreck the reputation I''ve spent years building! Not only will it


    destroy my future, but what''ll it make Isabe think of me?


    At that thought, she immediately dropped all work and rushed home.


    Upon her return, Marilyn saw Isabe sitting alone in the bedroom. Thetter was hugging herptop in


    a daze as tears slid down slowly from the corners of her eyes.


    Seeing Isabe in that state was confirmation to Marilyn that the former hade across the trending


    article. Hence, thetter said hurriedly, “Let me exin, Be. Things are not what they seem.”


    Isabe''s face contorted with pain when she saw Marilyn. “Oh, really? Exin yourself, then!”


    I truly hope that things aren''t what they seem!


    “I was drugged by Harold that day and fell unconscious. By the time I woke up, everything had already


    happened!” Marilyn exined anxiously.


    However, her exnation merely drew an icy stare from Isabe.


    “Hah! You im he drugged you and that you fell unconscious, yet you were all over him like a cat in


    heat and seducing him. You told me you were saving yourself for your future husband, but that was all


    a lie. I was wrong about you.”


    As Isabe spoke, tears streamed down her face. Then, she spun on her heel and left Marilyn''s


    mansion.


    Marilyn was taken aback by Isabe''s response. Thebination of the video and photos implies that I


    was the one who seduced Harold, and then we had sex. By the looks of it, I''ll never be able to clear my


    name.


    “Be, it''s really not what you think...” Marilyn shouted, her voice cracking as she called out after


    Isabe.


    However, even she felt that such an exnation was weak and unconvincing.


    Not having the courage to give chase, she plopped onto the floor before tears fell quietly from her eyes.


    The scandal became a much-discussed topic among Marilyn''s fans, and her image as a pure and


    wless celebrity was in tatters. Soon, it went from being one of the top five trending headlines to


    taking the top spot.


    Even Wrenna, who did not usually follow celebrity gossip, got wind of it.


    Wrenna walked out of her office to take a break after working two hours straight, only to see her


    subordinates gathered in a cluster. They were watching something on a phone while discussing it


    among themselves.


    “D*mn it! That''s my idol, Marilyn Schmidt! I can''t believe she fell prey to that pig, Harold. Come to think


    of it, Harold is truly something else. He got involved with our cold-blooded supervisor right after


    breaking things off with Brittany. Now, he has even slept with the celebrity Marilyn Schmidt! Who


    would''ve thought?”


    Wrenna could vaguely hear them talking about Harold and a celebrity.

    “Why are you gossiping here during office hours when you should be working?” she demanded coldly.
