The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 34

The following week, Janet took precautions to avoid running into Ike, but Ike kept on hinting at her from time to time.

One morning, she went to the convenience store downstairs to buy some coffee.

As she waited in line, two women glanced at her and started whispering to each other. "Isn't that the woman from the design department who hooks up with Ike?"

"Yeah, I think so!"

Janet overheard their loud whispering and frowned deeply. "What are you two talking about?"

The two women were shocked by her sudden confrontation. They quickly shook their heads and smiled embarrassedly. "Nothing, nothing. We mistook you for someone else, that's all."

But that wasn't the last Janet heard of this. She soon realized that someone from the design department must have spread unpleasant rumors about her and Ike.

And those rumors spread like wildfire. Some colleagues who used to be nice to Janet even started to keep their distance from her.

Previously, Janet was viewed as a well-mannered, kind young woman in the design department.

But now that someone had spoken ill of Janet behind her back, people began to view her in a different light.

It was Pamela who had first shown hostility towards her.

Ever since Ike announced that he would select Janet's design, Pamela had been hostile to Janet to her face.

So Janet suspected that Pamela was the one started the rumors.

And sure enough, upon careful but quiet observation, she found that it was indeed Pamela who was gossiping around.

Pamela had even made a group chat with many colleagues from the company. That was where she shared her made-up rumors about Janet.

A look of horror flashed on Pamela's face.

She had no idea that the phone was recording their conversation just now.

Janet turned up the volume of her phone so that everyone in the tea room could hear it clearly.

In the recording, Pamela's voice could be heard loud and clear. It also sounded harsh and mean. All eyes were on her now.

"What? I never did anything you claimed here.

But you described it so vividly. How about we confront Mr. Lyman face to face?" After the recording stopped, Janet sneered.

Pamela had made everything up.
