Naturally, tranquility eluded the company premises, and individuals occasionally approached her, speaking amongst themselves, and though not directly addressing her, she was aware their words were meant for her.
âUgh, how can someone who perpetrated such an act have the audacity to grace the company with their presence?â
âI feel as though the air has been tainted.
Itâs stifling!â
Ariana raised her head and spotted several individuals who usually flocked around Brielle.
Knowing they were deliberately stirring trouble, she kept her head down, focusing on her work, ignoring them.
However, Arianaâs forbearance only emboldened these individuals.
Observing her lack of response, a few more of Brielleâs lLackeys congregated.
They had always been unwitting players in Brielleâs game, and now they were here to make problems for Ariana.
One of them approached Ariana directly, rolling her eyes and remarking, âOh my, what might you be conversing about? She is unscrupulous and has secured this position through sheer persistence.
Thereâs no way she would simply relinquish it! She believes her beauty alone will grant her the title of Mrs.
Anderson.
How conceited!â
Ariana couldnât help but chuckle at their words.
If she wasnât Mrs.
Anderson, then who was?
Ariana gazed up at the woman, her piercing stare causing her to falter, yet she remained silent, a faint smile gracing her lips.
At that very moment, another individual hurried over and directly confronted Ariana, âYouâve engaged in such shameless acts, how dare you come here? Youâre akin to a rotten apple spoiling the bunch! If you had any sense, youâd leave, so as not to besmirch the companyâs reputation.
It would be in your best interest to voluntarily tender your resignation!â
Amidst the growing crowd, Arianaâs inner fury threatened to erupt, unable to bear the distortion of the unfolding situation.
Determined to seize the moment, she resolved to set the record straight before everyone.
With a steely gaze, Ariana rose to her feet and addressed them in an icy tone, âIndeed, Jasper and I were entangled in a three-year relationship, but that A hushed silence ensued as Ariana surveyed their faces.
âFurthermore, I am already wedded, and my husband surpasses Jasper in every conceivable way.
I wouldnât spare Jasper a single glance now.
â
Yet, the provocateurs remained unsatisfied, their sneers and jeers persisting.
âRelationship? Marriage? Show us proof!â
âYou canât simply make claims without substantiation.
If you assert a connection with Mr.
Jasper Anderson, then evidence must surely exist!â another person said.

Seeing their relentlessness, frustration welled up within Ariana and she reached for her phone, but hesitated at the touch of it.
In her disgust at Jasperâs repugnant actions, she deleted all chat records and photos from their shared time together.
She found herself devoid of evidence.
With that in mind, Ariana fell silent.
Capitalizing on her reticence, the surrounding individuals grew bolder in their mockery, taunting her relentlessly.
âHa! Youâre stubborn to the core.
Jasper already has Brielle, so why would he give you any thought?â
âIndeed! Married? Weâve never heard such a tale before.
It seems youâre concocting Lies out of desperation!â
âAnd you dare claim that your husband surpasses Jasper by a millionfold? What an audacious assertion!â
