After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247 The Headline Of Newspapers

“Whatever you say. Now get the hell out of my house!” I demanded. I was already used to her threats, so I didn’t take it seriously.

“I’m not afraid of you, Anna. I’m for real this time. I’m going to make the whole town your enemy!”

Emma became even more furious upon seeing my nonchalant attitude toward her threats.

Without wanting to waste more energy on her, I kicked her out before slamming the door shut.

Her appearance worsened my already bad mood. I was not afraid of what she would do. I just hated being misunderstood and threatened.

The woman didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she stayed and kicked my door like a madwoman, but upon seeing that I didn’t bother to acknowledge her any longer, she stomped away.

Two days after the incident with Emma, I had almost forgotten that she had even come to my house. For the past couple of days, I busied myself online-searching for the things I needed to pay attention to during pregnancy. Of course, I never neglected the responsibility of looking for a job despite being busy.

However, my peaceful days only lasted that long. Today, when I went out to keep hunting for a job, I noticed that people were staring and pointing at me, causing me to feel a bit self-conscious as my brows furrowed.

Deciding to brush them off, I continued my journey. However, as much as I wanted to ignore them, things were starting to get out of hand as they would gossip about me whenever they passed by me. Some even secretly snapped photos of me without my consent.

At one point, two young women took pictures of me when they passed by me. Frowning in confusion, I tried my best to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Look. It’s the unscrupulous woman who hooked up with Michael Shaw.”

“Looks really can be deceiving. Who would’ve known such an innocent-looking woman would get it on with someone else’s fiancé?”

“Well, pure-looking women like her are the cheapest women alive. We don’t know how many men she slept with. We’ll probably be shocked by the number.”

I could not believe my ears. Not only were they degrading me so openly, but this whole thing seemed to have something to do with Michael since they mentioned him.

“What are you talking about!” I yelled angrily. Who do they think they are to disrespect me like this?

Startled by my sudden outburst, the two women didn’t react for some time. However, when they regained their composure, they started to hurl insults toward me.

“We’re talking about how shameless you are. What? You can hook up with Michael, but we can’t talk about it? Don’t be a hypocrite!” uttered one of them.

“What kind of nonsense are you sprouting? You don’t even know me! What gives you the right to accuse me of hooking up with a man?”

How do they know about Michael and I, though?

My mind scanned every possible person that would intentionally target me like this. That was when Emma popped up.

Yes. She must be the one behind this ordeal. She did threaten me two days ago, after all.

Noticing that the pedestrians were still gossiping about me, I decided to return home. Along the way, I could not deny that I felt a bit scared.

Almost every person I crossed paths with did the same as the others. My mind was in a mess as I had no idea how to face such people.

When I arrived home, a sense of humiliation still lingered deep within me. I quickly fished my phone and dialed Emma’s number.

The woman was getting increasingly outrageous. It was evident that she was trying to ruin my whole being.

I took a deep breath and waited for her to pick up, which she did just after the first ring.

“Hello?”

Though she sounded casual, I could detect the smugness in her voice.
