Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148

The next morning, Serena showed up to work like any other day. But the second she walked into the office, she could tell something was off. Everyone was giving her these weird looks.

Serena noticed people huddling together in small groups, whispering and shooting glances her way. Whenever she looked back at them, they’d quickly turn away and act like nothing happened.

This went on all morning, and Serena tried to brush it off. But she had absolutely no clue what was going on.

“You seriously don’t know, do you?” One of her colleagues noticed how uncomfortable Serena looked and pulled her aside. The confusion was written all over Serena’s face.

“Know what?” Serena asked. She’d been getting this strange vibe since she walked in this morning. At first, she thought maybe she was just being paranoid, but now, it was obvious something really did happen.

Her colleague saw the genuine confusion in Serena’s eyes and immediately knew she couldn’t be anything like what the rumors were saying. She quietly motioned for Serena to come over to her desk and pulled up the group chat to show her what everyone was talking about.

“Someone’s been posting stuff in the group chat since last night, saying you’re hooking up with some older guy,” her colleague whispered.

She didn’t need to explain further. Serena saw the photo right away. It was obviously taken when she work visit would get twisted into something so dirty.

went to visit Tiana. She never thought a simple

What made it even more ridiculous was that people were making wild assumptions just because Tiana had a buzz cut in the photo. ‘Did they seriously think she was just some random old creep?‘ Serena thought. Her face darkened.

“I don’t know who would do something this nasty, spreading rumors about a girl like that,” her colleague said, noticing Serena’s face getting darker. She reached over and patted Serena’s back. “Just forget about it. The truth will come out and everyone will know what kind of person you really are.”

A guy walking by heard their conversation and looked Serena up and down with a smirk. “Hey, new girl. I thought you had some real skills, but turns out you just slept your way up the ladder.”

Before he could finish, Serena stood up. She never believed that crap about the truth coming out itself. If that was how the world worked, innocent people wouldn’t get framed all the time.

“Why should I admit to something I didn’t do? The person in that photo is family to me. Don’t the people making up these lies have families too?” Serena said firmly.

Tiana had taken care of Serena for years, and she’d become like a mother to her. These rumors weren’t just attacking Serena. They were going after the woman who’d worked so hard to raise everyone at the orphanage.

‘There’s no way I’m just going to stand here and let this happen,‘ Serena thought.”
