Chapter 717 - Reversing the Rumours (2/2)

Perhaps, they have outlived their usefulness?

She shook her head.

No, that would be wrong.

Then, she thought of Kyle.

Her hands stilled.

Her determination became more resolute.

Anyone who could be a danger to her getting Kyle should be taken care of. If she faltered now, what would that mean in the future?

She had to be strong and do what needs to be done.

After all, there would be countless bees around him, right? If she doesn't get rid of them now, then they'd just keep coming back.

The only question is … how?

In retrospect, Sarah realised she had done a fatal error in this.

Spreading rumours in the company was fine as it could not be traced back to her. Posting anonymously may also be okay, but a lot of people knew her face. Furthermore, would the Elite Five really have left it alone?

How could she have made such a blunder?

She had been so focused and happy about the whole thing, that she had actually forgotten them!

Careless indeed.

As expected, the news about the pictures went viral. Although the original poster (her) and the one who replied (Angel) never did give any names, it was bound to happen that she and Sayuri were exposed.

After all, they had schoolmates and collegemates.

None of the Smith Industries employees mentioned anything, and even when reporters came to get some 'juicy' news, they left empty-handed. None of them were brave enough to give any sort of information to the reporters lest it gets traced back to them.

Even if the CEO could not pinpoint who it was, their lives wouldn't be as carefree as it was right now. Security would get tighter, the CEO would get colder and Sam … Sam would descend on all the departments giving out the Devil's Order.

It had happened before and no one wanted a repeat of that Dark Age.

As for Sarah, her life was getting to be a bit of a mess.

First, the turn over of the rumour that now painted her in a bad light.

Then, the two most dangerous women to her in clearing her name, had been randomly picked by the Department Head through a lucky draw to gather some information in another state. They had to do some fieldwork and observe the people in the area.

As everyone wanted this job, as it had a lot of benefits and allowances, Ms. Uma had used the lucky draw method.

The worse thing though?

Her apartment had been broken into. The entire place was ransacked and the thief had been merciless.

Luckily, she had kept her valuables in a safe and they couldn't get it. However, her computer was gone and worst of all, all of her pictures of Kyle had been damaged in some way. They had been torn, crumpled, and even stepped on.

Perhaps the thief had been so angry that they took it out on her beloved pictures instead?

All her backups were also gone. One set had been in the computer, and another in her thumbdrive - that had been infected with a virus that wiped out everything.

Sarah was devastated.
