Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1679

Soon, someone among them finally stopped gawking and feigned care. “Aww, don’t cry a river over this now! The sooner you get used to it, the better. Gee, a while ago, you defended her to the point of getting into heated disagreements with us. Now you know, huh? Being ‘Mrs. Tremont’ for a while had really gotten into her head, I’ll give you that. B*tch always thinks she’s several levels above us. And then she got dumped hard, but she still thinks she’s ‘The Madam’ and the boss of us. Ludicrous, right? Oh, wait… We gotta watch our backs—the boss has mandated us to never talk sh*t about Arianne, so we better zip it now, I guess. Come on, Robin, don’t be too upset, ok? At least you get to keep your job in Tremont Enterprise. It’s not like Arianne has the power to fire you or anything.”

It was then that the supervisor approached them, chastising, “Oy, what do you think you people are doing here? This isn’t time for talking—shut your piehole and go back to work! Miss Cox, you’re with me.”

Libby brought Robin to a remote stairway, and after a quick survey, making sure that no one else was within earshot, she suddenly dropped her voice into a hushed tone. “Okay. Why did Arianne suddenly hit you, dear? How did the two of you come to that?”

Robin sniffled. Her voice was thick with tears. “C-Can… Can you keep it a s-s-secret if I tell you?”

Libby seemed oddly excited. “You can count on me to keep a secret, sweetie. I’m all ears.”

“S-She said that the higher-ups have f-found me as the one who made t-that scandal happen—m-me!” Robin leaned into her ear and whispered. “She claimed I was the one who gave her draft to this g-guy named James McGinnis or s-someone. She said I was conspiring against her, but I swear to God, I didn’t! We fought pretty bad about this… and I guess we’re friends no more. What am I gonna do, Mrs. Sheppard? I know my time in Tremont Enterprise is doomed… Help me, please! I don’t care if I get fired, I just… I don’t want Sylvain to get caught in this.”

Curiously, there was not a single trace of surprise on Libby’s face. In fact, she looked almost as though she had been expecting this news for a while and was visibly sighing in relief. “Oh, hon, I’d love to help with this but… this is beyond my power,” she comforted with a half-smile. “If they thought it was you, then there really isn’t any other way left now, is there? I think it’s best you adjust your mindset and bite the bullet. Gosh, I actually thought Arianne would be merciful to someone like you. Turns out, she’s cold-blooded through and through…”

Robin’s eyebrows bunched into the middle. “W-What was that?”
