Chapter 1817
[ 610 words ]
“I heard that bastard got caught sleeping with a married woman, and her husband trapped him in the apartment and beat the living daylights out of him!”
What?
Fannie was stunned. Where did that rumor even come from?
Although the video did feature a man and a woman, it definitely wasn’t…
She suddenly realized someone might have intentionally leaked a twisted version of the story to destroy Julian’s reputation.
Was it Norris?
Either way, with Julian out of the office, his ability to sabotage her work was severely crippled.
Plus, given how much pain he must be in, he wouldn’t have the energy to focus on
her anyway.
Fannie decided to use the perfect window of opportunity to finalize her overseas transfer.
Even if Julian wanted to block it now, he didn’t have the chance.
Her application was already moving forward, and he didn’t have absolute dictatorial control over the entire company.
By the time he came back, all he could do was throw a useless temper tantrum.
Her paperwork sailed through effortlessly. However, due to Julian’s behavior that night, a few nasty rumors still circulated around the office.
Fannie brushed them off completely.
She had built absolute immunity to the weird stares and petty whispers.
Tessa Monroe, her coworker and close friend, secretly told her that people were claiming she had been dating Julian while hooking up with her college friend on the side.
“You have no idea how disgusting the things they’re saying are.”
“If I wasn’t worried about making things harder for you, I would have screamed at them.”
“Especially these two guys-they were absolutely revolting, saying that you…” Tessa trailed off, unable to finish the sentence.
“Anyway, Fannie, I know you aren’t like that.”
“Your friend is way hotter than Julian. If you were actually hooking up with him, you’d never settle for a goblin like Julian.”
“Honestly, Julian is just a mediocre guy with an inflated ego.”
“He thinks having a little family money makes him a god.”
“Who doesn’t have connections these days?”
Tessa was actually a legacy hire herself.
No matter how much she openly trashed Julian, he couldn’t fire her.
So, she gossiped with absolute zero stress.
Sure, she couldn’t actually hurt him, but he couldn’t lay a finger on her either.
“Tessa, don’t make enemies for my sake. I’m leaving soon anyway. Let them talk. Words can’t hurt me.”
Fannie was deeply moved. Finding a genuine friend in the workplace was incredibly
rare.
Most people smiled to your face and shoved a knife in your back the second you turned around.
Tessa couldn’t care less about office politics. She knew Fannie was highly capable and had a great personality. If Julian hadn’t targeted her her =career would have skyr
Applying for an overseas transfer was a massive gamble.
But if she managed to secure a major scoop abroad, it could be the move of a lifetime.
When she eventually returned, Julian wouldn’t have any leverage over her, and bed be forced to paste on a fake smile and act like nothing happened.
Once she cleared this hurdle, her future would be wide open.

“I don’t mean that as an insult. I genuinely admire your courage.”
“Not everyone has the guts to leave the country and jump into a war zone.”
“At least I know I’d much rather stay safely in Cabinda, tucked under my parents’ wings.”
Tessa was speaking from the heart.
Fannie offered a bitter smile. “Who wouldn’t want to stay under their parents’ wings if they could?”
Tessa fell silent, silently cursing Julian to hell and back.
“Hey, Fannie, have you ever thought about asking your friend for help?”
“Since he stepped up for you yesterday, it proves he doesn’t completely disregard you.”
“If you go to him, you might get a better result than you think.”
