The Sleeper's Wrath and His Wife's Strike novel Chapter 174

“Let’s not worry about her for now—she’s not really capable of stirring up any trouble.”

“As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. You’re the boss’s wife, after all. Your voice counts.”

Lindsay just smiled and said nothing.

Meanwhile, the Bloom Design Department’s group chat was on fire. Even the quietest lurkers were chiming in.

Her colleagues started tagging her nonstop, demanding that she say something.

Mary: [Lindsay, how dare you openly go on a date with Naomi’s boyfriend? Don’t you have any shame? We all work at the same company, and you’re stealing a coworker’s man?]

Colleague A: [I can’t defend you on this one, Lindsay. This is just too much. What kind of decent woman goes out to dinner alone with someone else’s boyfriend? And if that wasn’t enough, you even brought along divorce papers? What, were you just letting Naomi’s boyfriend know you’re now single and available?]

Colleague B: [@Manager, aren’t you going to say something for Naomi? I know this is technically a personal issue, but it’s seriously out of line. I don’t want to keep working with someone like this.]

The implication was clear—they expected the manager to fire Lindsay.

With everyone in the Design Department piling on, the manager finally stepped in.

[First of all, this is Lindsay’s private life. It has nothing to do with her work. She hasn’t made any mistakes professionally, so the company has no grounds to fire her.]

[Secondly, you’re all jumping to conclusions over a single video. I, for one, don’t buy into rumors that easily. Just because you saw something doesn’t mean you know the full story. Let’s all calm down.]

[And third—let me be blunt—even if she was “stealing someone’s man,” it’s not like she’s taking yours. If the people actually involved aren’t making a fuss, why are the rest of you so worked up? Anyone would think you’re getting paid to meddle in other people’s business.]

The manager was sharp—he saw right through the situation and wasn’t afraid to call it out. He didn’t say outright that Naomi was using everyone as her mouthpiece, but the implication was obvious.

Reading the manager’s response, Lindsay immediately sent a message to the group.
