The Price of Betrayal novel Chapter 8

After this incident became an unspoken secret in the company, quite a few male colleagues started to make things difficult for me, both overtly and covertly.

As the company's legal counsel, although I didn't need to have much contact with them in daily trivial matters, when sharing an elevator up and down, there would still be people occasionally making snide comments.

"This isn't finding a boyfriend, it's basically finding an ATM machine."

Along with these inexplicable incidents becoming more and more frequent, Ivan and Daisy's public displays of affection also increased.

Every day when Ivan was about to get off work, Daisy would be waiting downstairs. When they met, they would first have a big hug, followed by a passionate kiss.

During holidays, Daisy would specially order a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to Ivan's office.

This made those male colleagues who liked to make sarcastic remarks about me even more energetic: "Indeed, there's no comparison without contrast. Only after getting rid of a gold-digging ex-girlfriend can one find true happiness."

Ivan also spoke with half-truths, leaving room for endless imagination: "As far as I know, Molly's family situation is quite ordinary. I really don't know where she gets so much money to buy brand-name bags. Sigh, although she has hurt me deeply, I would still feel sad if she really went down the wrong path."

Very good.

Hearing these words, I was seething with anger, my jaw clenched tight. Originally, I just wanted to teach Ivan a lesson, but now all bets are off.

More and more people in the company started praising Ivan as a good man, and Ivan's ego was inflating with each compliment.
