NovelFameChapter 1976
It was late at night when we got back to the villa.
Nicky seemed to have been waiting forin the living room for a long time, and when she sawcoming in,
she got up.
| glanced at her before going upstairs.
Obviously, Nicky stopped me. "Wait."
Turning my head, | looked at her calmly with my brow raised slightly. "What is it?"
She approachedstep by step. "Have you made it clear to Tyler?"
There was a trace of doubt in her eyes. | did not understand what she was trying to say. "What did you think |
told him?"
Nicky shed all pretenses and said to me, "There'll be no more people breaking into our house in the middle of the
night, yes?"

| smiled. "Are you worried that someone will expose your true colors again? It's not as if | can predict that. They
all have power, after all. They can enter if they want."
| shrugged. | did not want to be entangled with Nicky anymore. | wanted to get rid of her and go upstairs, but she
still cup toand heldback. "What do you mean? Could this kind of thing still happen?"
| shook off her hand. | looked at her and iterated every word clearly, "You should have thought that there would
be such consequences from the moment you released the news. I'm not them. | have no way of knowing what
they'll do next. If you're worried, do something. It's useless threatening me."
Nicky frowned, unease filling her face. Her eyelids drooped slightly as she muttered, "Theo already askedso
many questions because of this. It can't happen again."
It turned out Theo had questioned her. No wonder there was such a huge shift in her mood.
I smiled, shook my head a few times, and went back to my room.
The next day.
The news from last night would inevitably set off rumors. Even if Nicky had ordered the company not to discuss it
early in the morning, everyone would still discuss it privately.
| went out to lunch with my former
colleagues in the data department, and they looked atwith sympathy in their eyes. "I didn't expect Director
Doyle to be such a
person. | always thought she was a noble type. | didn't expect such gossip." .net
"Right? Not only did she take over Wanda's identity, but she's even preventing us from publicizing it. She's even
threatening us with our jobs."
"Wanda, we feel sorry for you, but we
can't do anything about it. President Grant is only listening to Director Doyle now, and he's powerful. We
won't be able to find a job if some
rumor were to spread."
| had been through that so, of course, | understood their difficulties, which was why | did not take it to heart. "It's
okay. You're all doing fine as is now. | believe Theo will recover soon."
"Well, it'll get better soon!"
"We all support you."
Everyone's approval was the biggest encouragement and motivation for me. | had also chosen to live in the villa
and work at Grant Corporation to keep abreast of the situation. Hence, even if | had to endure the humiliation
and bear the burden, |
would forge ahead.
When | returned to the company after lunch, Hattie cover and glared atsternly the moment | arrived at
the department. "I knew you were slacking by eating so slow."
| looked up at the time. There were still five minutes until the end of the lunch break. "I cback early."
"I'm the acting chief, so I'm right. If | say you're late, you're late. The windows on the fifth floor are very dirty. Go
and clean them."
Not wanting to argue with her, | nodded and then went to grab the tools before leaving the department. | did not
even look at Hattie as | went through the motion, which made her angry.
