The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 289

 Once the three senior designers saw the sullen look on Janet’s face, they quickly went back to their respective desks and pretended like they hadn’t been gossiping a while back.

"It’s almost as if they think their job here is to gossip.They are always chatting incessantly.This time, they have gone too far.More than anything, I’m sure you are relying on your strength here.How could they say such a thing? Humph!"

Gerda stared at them angrily.

She felt bad for Janet and wished she could give the rumormongers a tongue -lashing. But on the other hand, Janet wasn’t that angry.

This wasn’t the first time she was hearing such a rumor, so she had developed a thick skin over time.

"It doesn’t matter, Gerda.Leave them.Please don’t get yourself into trouble because of me.When Pamela spread false rumors about me in the past, I retorted because I caught her red-handed."Janet turned on the computer and began to work.

Staring at the design drawings, she added, "None of them dares to gossip about me in my presence.They always backbite.I don’t take such people seriously.If they are bold enough, they will say it to my face."

"Does this mean you will allow them to continue gossiping about you? Won’t you take any action against them?"

Gerda was amazed by Janet’s nonchalance despite the severity of the matter.

"Hmm!" Janet sighed.

She stood up from her seat and looked at her colleagues.

"A clear conscience fears no so I’m not bothered at all.Only those who are up to no good should be bothered!"

Janet didn’t have time for any frivolities.She wanted to invest most of her time and energy into the upcoming spring fashion week.

It was very important to her.

However, things didn’t go as she had planned.

Most of her colleagues turned against her.

They always looked at her strangely and gave her the cold shoulder.

Janet also noticed that they gossiped about her more frequently.

They did very little to hide their distaste for her, so it was difficult for her to ignore them.

This was different from the last time when Pamela spread rumors about Janet sleeping with her direct superior, where she could easily prove herself.

This time, she found it hard to properly deal with it.She didn’t know whether to shut down the rumor or just ignore it.

All she knew was that it was said that a designer whose surname is Lind had an affair with a senior executive of the Larson Group.
