“I bet Mrs. Bode ran away in a fit of rage!”
Gilbert’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with fury.

“Who spread these rumors? Was it you? I’m only nice to Wendy because I treat her like a sister. Can’t you hear me?”
He had repeatedly emphasized that he only saw Wendy as a sister. Why did everyone have to doubt him? Did he have to explain himself every day?
“If she were Cathy, even if you gave her all your assets, everyone would just say you’re biased towards your family. But Wendy isn’t your real sister. You’re so biased towards her, so everyone will think you like her…. Mr. Bode, where are you going?”
Gilbert walked towards the company. He didn’t believe everyone thought that way.
He and Wendy had always maintained a safe distance. There had never been any intimate behavior between them.
What rumors were circulating in the company? He had never heard of them. It must be just a few people who couldn’t stand seeing them good spreading rumors.
Reaching the company gate, he hesitated for a moment, then changed his clothes, put on a hat, and got back.
It was lunch break. Everyone was gossiping. Gilbert pretended to be a repairman fixing things.
Standing there, he felt like he was going crazy. What was he doing?
He found it ridiculous. He hadn’t done anything wrong. After thinking for a moment, he turned to leave.
“Have you heard? Wendy’s about to become Mrs. Bode.”
This almost made Gilbert bite his tongue.
“Really? Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m not talking nonsense. To make Wendy worthy of him, Gilbert specially set up a company for her. If it weren’t for true love, why would he build her a Splendor Villa? You have no idea how luxurious it is. It shows how much Gilbert spoils her”
“Wendy must be the most pampered homewrecker I’ve ever met!”
Bullshit!
Gilbert almost blurted it out. He wanted to stop them from spreading rumors.
These things only started circulating because of people like them.

“How do you know? None of us are qualified to go there! You’re not making this up, are you?”

Gilbert nodded upon hearing this. It seemed there were still many people who could distinguish right from wrong.
That person pulled out her phone. “I saw it on Wendy’s Facebook. Even though she didn’t use her own name, anyone can tell it’s her.”
The others screamed as if they’d discovered a big secret.
Gilbert frowned. Wendy never used social media. She wouldn’t even post on Facebook.
She said posting those things was just for show, and she was more genuine.
How could she post such things online? It’s obviously fake, like those paparazzi gossip stories.
Sure enough, none of the rumors and gossip were true.
“It seems like every time she posts, she mentions someone. This person looks so familiar… Isn’t that Sherry, the intern who used to work here?”
This woman was practically a legend in the company. She not only beat up Gilbert’s woman, but she also beat
up Gilbert!
Of course, they hadn’t seen that woman since. She definitely didn’t end well.
Some people said she was Gilbert’s wife. But they didn’t really believe it. If she were, how could she only be an intern?
Even Wendy, a loser, became an assistant.
Hearing it was about Sherry, Gilbert downloaded Facebook.
Unexpectedly, his old account was still there. Oh, he used to post some promotional content for the
company.
Sherry and he were friends on Facebook.
Sherry used to post some daily things, but then she stopped.
Although he wasn’t in those photos, they were all to commemorate some meaningful things they had done. Every photo was a memory.
But these updates stopped abruptly two years ago.
Gilbert calculated the time. It seemed Sherry hadn’t posted anything since Wendy got back.
Then he saw the account they thought was Wendy’s.
Wendy never used Facebook. How could this be her?
