However, the one thing Gwendolyn could not accou for was whether or nor Maverick had a hand in

1.

Joanne noticed Gwendolyn’s expression was growing older. Feebly, she asked, “Ms. Shalders, whatare you going to do?”

Gwendolyn returned the phone to her and got back work unperturbedly. “I’m not going to do anythingfor now. You should get back to work too. The deadline for the girl group talent show proposal is gettingcloser. I’ll deal with it after I wrap up the task at hand.”

“Huh?”

Joanne was shocked. “Ms. Shalders, the other party is going to be bolder if you don’t act. If anything,the situation may worsen.”

Gwendolyn did not reply, already pouring all of her cus and concentration into her work.

I guess there’s no way I can persuade you.

Joanne could not quite fathom what her superior was thinking. All she could do was sigh in resignationand leave the office.

In just a few hours, the news garnered so much attention that it became one of the top three trendingtopics online.

Since Gwendolyn chose not to respond to the allegations, someone seemed to have paid anentertainment account to fan the flames of discord. Not only did the incident gain more attention, butdirt on Gwendolyn was also revealed, and public opinion was swayed in Natasha’s favor.

Someone with ill intent also leaked information abot Gwendolyn’s background. Soon, everyone knewthat she was an orphan. Even sensitive information, like her job at Angle Corporation, was divulged tothe public.

A large group of paparazzi rushed to Angle Corporation, waiting for a chance to interview Gwendolyn

At the same time, Angle Corporation’s stock plummeted by two percent within the hour and continuedto show a downward trend.

The netizens were all on Natasha’s side.

I feel so bad for Ms. Natasha. It must feel horrible to have her and Mr. Wright’s loving relationshipruined by a scheming b*tch like this!

Why doesn’t this woman just p*ss off? How dare she splash pine at another person? Surely she shouldbe arrested for assault or intent to harm?

D*mn straight! This kind of little b*tch should just go to hel! She deserves to be an unwanted orphan!

As a fan of Joaquin, I petition for the company to fire such employees! A bad egg like this will onlydamage my idol’s reputation!

I agree.

Me too. I strongly agree with this. Denounce her!

Natasha, holding her phone in her hands as she sat on the recliner, was grinning ear to ear

F’d love to see if this b*tch can still stay arrogant. With such large farce, Angle Corporation will surelycut ite losses and fire such a problematic employee to extricate itself from the trouble, won’t it? OnceTreyton wes her true colors, he’ll probably rid himself of her as well!

At that thought, she could not contain her glee. Her ce delicate features were soon distorted by theexaggerated grin that was plastered onto her face.

Oh, how she had long suppressed that laughter.

She had not felt so self-satisfied in a very long time.

Without the backing of Angle Corporation and Treyton, that b*tch Gwendolyn will have no means tocontinue throwing her weight around me. I must say that Eloise hancocted a great plan. Teaming upwith her has saved me time and effort.

Being in an exceptionally good mood, Natasha leaned back and elegantly sipped at her tea

At the same time, Joanne at Angle Corporation was ao feverishly reading the news on her phone.Things seem to be worsening by the minute. If this continues, Ms. Shalders will lose her position asdirector, won’t she? Then, does that mean I’ll be fired as we But it’s only been a few days since I wasconfirmed

as her assistant.

Despite how anxious she felt, all she could do was pale at her desk.

However, her worrying was of no use.

After all, that was the typical scenario of everyone che getting anxious except the one who was trulyaffected by it.

The person involved did not seem to care about it at 1

Gwendolyn was still seated in front of the computer her office, mulling over various proposals for thetalent show.

As such, she had not seen how badly the situation hal escalated online

Just then, a loud ringing broke the silence and disrupted her concentration.

With a cursory glance, Gwendolyn noticed that it was unknown caller

She had no intention of picking up, but the same mes called her relentlessly three times in a rowAnnoyed by the noise, she decided to replace out who it was

When she picked up, what greeted her was a familia and husky voice extent, yet you can still focus onwork? Are you unlaithered or stupid?”

Things have escalated to this

Gwendolyn could vaguely sense a note of urgency hat voice. It seemed to be touched by othercomplicated emotions as well.

Maverick Her first reaction was bafflement. I sure had not expected him, of all people, to call me leider,I

changed my contact information after the divorce. How did he manage to obtain my number? Judgingfrom his tone, I don’t think he knows about this matter. Well, even if he doesn’t, all leads point towardhis beloved first

crush.

She remained silent for a few seconds, saying nothing

“Say something! Have you been scared witless?” came the man’s voice from the receiver.

His remark evoked a laugh from Gwendolyn.

How could something like this scare me?

“Mr. Wright, since you like creating imaginary scenarios in your head, why don’t you start writingnovels? Who knows. It might be more profitable for you than the real estate industry,” she said.

“I’m being serious here. What are you on about?”

Maverick’s tone of voice had deepened. He suddenly realized that unbeknownst to him, they seemedto be at each other’s throats every time they exchanged words.

“I’m being serious too. Instead of meddling in my affairs, why don’t you keep an eye on your fiancée:

may not be able to handle the consequences of incurring my wrath.” The more Gwendolyn spoke, iciershe sounded. “Also, please keep your distance from me in the future. Nothing has changed. What I dois still none of your business.”

Maverick was stunned by her retort. Before he could refute her, a beeping sound came from the

receiver.

Did this woman have explosives for breakfast? Why is she so feisty?

Gwendolyn had just hung up when her phone rang orice again.

That time around, it was Joaquin.

“Gwendolyn, have you thought about how to deal with this? If you need me, I can help you clarifythings. I do think that Angle Corporation is good at public relations. I dare say this will die down veryquickly with some intervention.”

Joaquin was genuinely worried. The anxiety in his tone of voice was unmistakable.

It looks like this brat is pretty affectionate and righteous.

Gwendolyn was pleased, but she ultimately declined His offer. “There’s no need for that. You’re a verypopular celebrity. If you stand up for me, it will only backfire, and your dichard female fans will breakdown the company’s doors and come at me with knives. Besides, I’m not just looking to quash all this.”

Joaquin pondered over the matter briefly. “So you do have a plan? If you need anything at all, just letme know.”

After giving a perfunctory response, Gwendolyn hung up and continued to work.

Joanne came by twice but still hesitated to speak. In the end, she said nothing and walked away whileshaking her head.

The issue was still being discussed hotly online, even until noon.

Natasha, who was clutching her phone, felt elated.

I never anticipated such a response. It’s so nice to trample on that b*tch and gain fame at the sametime!

Just as she was reveling in her good mood, her phone chimed again, signaling that she had receivedreplies.

Natasha could not wait to check it out. She seemed to enjoy being praised to the skies.

However, things took a different turn.

That reply wrote: So you’re the actual scheming b*tch and mistress in this situation? I bet you neveranticipated that people would replace out. The other party has posted a tweet!

It bewildered Natasha. What the heck? Why is this person berating me? Who posted a tweet?

While she was filled with doubt, she started receiving a second reply and then a third. All of themcondemned her.

How can this be? Wait a moment… Could it be Gwendolyn
