“Of course, it was to watch the Pierce family’s jokes!”
“Oh.”
“Actually, it was Amanda’s joke!”
“Hmm?” Adelaide did seem to perk up a bit.
“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 even
deeper. Guess what happened next.”
“Some netizens said that she started talking about how true it
was when you and that guy were still together. Then she
annoyed Amanda and directly confronted the netizen who dug
deep into her online, starting a fight that lasted all night.”
Adelaide’s toothbrushing suddenly stopped.
Uh? Uh!?
Teresa kept on saying, “Because someone dug up that you and Garrett have known each other since childhood, even posting
Chapter108
photos of you together from middle school, high school, and
college. So when we heard what that netizen said, everyone kind of believed it, and even started analyzing.”
“Then Amanda had to stomp her feet, so everyone believed she
was the interloper. Hahaha, is she dumb or what, she dug her
own grave.””
“The news was originally about the Hicks Group evading taxes,
but now online everyone is calling her a homewrecker and
calling Garrett a jerk.”
Adelaide was speechless and just smiled, “How could she be so
reckless.”
Teresa couldn’t stop laughing, “Yeah, what goes around comes
around, it’s like digging your own grave.”
After talking to Teresa on the phone, Adelaide made herself
some breakfast and browsed online while eating.
Many were suppressed, so only scattered bits and pieces could
be seen.
No doubt, it’s either the Pierce family or the Barnard family
who did it.
She quickly finished breakfast and drove to Orvenix Group.
As soon as she arrived, she could feel her colleagues looking at
Chapter108
her with a bit more sympathy and pity.
Adelaide: “Don’t look at me like that, it’s making me nervous.”
Mara hugged her and said sympathetically, “It must have been
really hard pretending to be happy all this time.”
The other day there was some news about the Barnard family
and the Pierce family getting their marriage licenses mixed up.
They also didn’t pay much attention to Adelaide’s situation,
thinking she was fine, mistakenly believing it was just a
misunderstanding.
So I just kept my mouth shut.
They couldn’t hold it in anymore until last night’s incident blew
up online.
“Actually… no.”
She did feel bad for a few days, but she won’t let herself be
affected by unworthy people and tears.
The past is the past.
Smack! Mara gave Adelaide a pat on the back, not painful, but
still made a crisp sound.
But Adelaide felt like she was about to puke.

“It’s okay to feel bad, we won’t make fun of you. When
something like this happens, everyone feels bad, okay?”
Adelaide couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling a warm rush in her
heart.
“No big deal.”
“Okay, okay, it’s all good, it’s all good,” Jorge started, holding up
his phone confidently, “I’m treating you guys to coffee this
morning. What flavor do you want? Hurry up and tell me,
time’s a–wasting.”
This thing is water under the bridge, no one really cares
anymore, but we actually take better care of Adelaide now.
Sometimes coffee, sometimes dessert snacks.
Anyway, the food and stuff on her desk were almost piled up
like a mountain.
She didn’t know about it until she got a call from her colleague,
Glenn Zuniga.
