“Of course, it was to watch the Pierce family’s jokes!”Â
“Oh.”Â
“Actually, it was Amanda’s joke!”Â
“Hmm?” Adelaide did seem to perk up a bit.Â
“Haha, I knew you’d react like that,” Teresa started her gossip, “Last night, everyone was talking about the Pierce family online, saying all sorts of nasty things. Amanda, that idiot, created a fake account and started arguing with people online. Then she got exposed as Amanda, and the netizens dug evenÂ
deeper. Guess what happened next.”Â
“Some netizens said that she started talking about how true itÂ
was when you and that guy were still together. Then sheÂ
annoyed Amanda and directly confronted the netizen who dugÂ
deep into her online, starting a fight that lasted all night.”Â
Adelaide’s toothbrushing suddenly stopped.Â
Uh? Uh!?Â
Teresa kept on saying, “Because someone dug up that you and Garrett have known each other since childhood, even postingÂ
Chapter108Â
photos of you together from middle school, high school, andÂ
college. So when we heard what that netizen said, everyone kind of believed it, and even started analyzing.”Â
“Then Amanda had to stomp her feet, so everyone believed sheÂ
was the interloper. Hahaha, is she dumb or what, she dug herÂ
own grave.””Â
“The news was originally about the Hicks Group evading taxes,Â
but now online everyone is calling her a homewrecker andÂ
calling Garrett a jerk.”Â
Adelaide was speechless and just smiled, “How could she be soÂ
reckless.”Â
Teresa couldn’t stop laughing, “Yeah, what goes around comesÂ
around, it’s like digging your own grave.”Â
After talking to Teresa on the phone, Adelaide made herselfÂ
some breakfast and browsed online while eating.Â
Many were suppressed, so only scattered bits and pieces couldÂ
be seen.Â
No doubt, it’s either the Pierce family or the Barnard familyÂ
who did it.Â
She quickly finished breakfast and drove to Orvenix Group.Â
As soon as she arrived, she could feel her colleagues looking atÂ
Chapter108Â
her with a bit more sympathy and pity.Â
Adelaide: “Don’t look at me like that, it’s making me nervous.”Â
Mara hugged her and said sympathetically, “It must have beenÂ
really hard pretending to be happy all this time.”Â
The other day there was some news about the Barnard familyÂ
and the Pierce family getting their marriage licenses mixed up.Â
They also didn’t pay much attention to Adelaide’s situation,Â
thinking she was fine, mistakenly believing it was just aÂ
misunderstanding.Â
So I just kept my mouth shut.Â
They couldn’t hold it in anymore until last night’s incident blewÂ
up online.Â
“Actually… no.”Â
She did feel bad for a few days, but she won’t let herself beÂ
affected by unworthy people and tears.Â
The past is the past.Â
Smack! Mara gave Adelaide a pat on the back, not painful, butÂ
still made a crisp sound.Â
But Adelaide felt like she was about to puke.Â
Chapter108Â
“It’s okay to feel bad, we won’t make fun of you. WhenÂ
something like this happens, everyone feels bad, okay?”Â
Adelaide couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling a warm rush in herÂ
heart.Â
“No big deal.”Â
“Okay, okay, it’s all good, it’s all good,” Jorge started, holding upÂ
his phone confidently, “I’m treating you guys to coffee thisÂ
morning. What flavor do you want? Hurry up and tell me,Â
time’s a–wasting.”Â
This thing is water under the bridge, no one really caresÂ
anymore, but we actually take better care of Adelaide now.Â
Sometimes coffee, sometimes dessert snacks.Â
Anyway, the food and stuff on her desk were almost piled upÂ
like a mountain.Â
She didn’t know about it until she got a call from her colleague,Â
Glenn Zuniga.Â
