Chapter 765 

Agnes had never paid much mind to workplace gossip, nor had she ever felt the need to explain herself. After all, her relationship with Jared was bound to be discovered by her colleagues sooner or later. 

But when Yolanda began to smear her name, Agnes couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. 

Yolanda was livid when she found out about the rumors circulating in the office. 

Agnes, after all, used to be an actress. Her innocent and righteous demeanor in the office had convinced everyone to take her 

side. 

Yolanda alone knew about Agnes façade of pretense 

Now, almost everyone was accusing Yolanda of favoritism and harboring unresolved feelings for Jared. Even the station manager had heard about the rumors. 

In the afternoon, Yolanda was summoned to the manager’s office to explain herself. Despite the lengthy explanation and proving her innocence, Yolanda exited the office with anger. 

As Yolanda strutted into the News Department in her high heels, she barked at Agnes, “Agnes, get in my office.” 

Seeing the fury in Yolanda’s eyes, Agnes knew her days were about to get tougher. 

Everyone looked at Agnes with sympathetic expressions. Ramona advised, “No matter what the director says, just let it go in one ear and out the other. Don’t let her provoke you into quitting. If you quit, you lose.” 

Agnes was the first one in a while who dared to stand up to the director, so everyone naturally sided with Agnes. They even came up with a slogan, “Protect our Agnes.” 

Under the encouraging gazes of her colleagues, Agnes walked into Yolanda’s office. 

As soon as she entered, Yolanda hurled a file towards Agnes‘ direction. 

Agnes nimbly dodged it. 

“Director Bowman,” Agnes began. “What has got you so hot under the collar that you’re taking it out on me?” 

Seeing Agnes‘ calm face only fueled Yolanda’s anger. “Agnes, don’t play dumb. Did you start the rumors about me and Jared? | underestimated you, Agnes. I didn’t think you’d stoop so low to ruin my reputation. Now everyone’s saying I have a thing for Jared Did you start it?” 

Agnes raised an eyebrow. “Director Bowman, it’s no secret that you once had a crush on Mr. Whitfield. If you were too obvious with your affections last night and want to pin the blame on me, there’s not much I can do.” 

Yolanda laughed ironically. “So, is this the kind of lowly trick you’ve learned over the years?” 

Agnes replied coldly, “I’ve learned many things over the years, but one thing stands out. Never tolerate insults. If you mess with me, I will retaliate in kind. That’s fair. Yolanda, let’s cut to the chase. You started the gossip to damage my reputation. I simply turned the tables on you. Now that you’re reaping what you sowed, don’t blame others.” 

Yolanda clenched her fist. This was not the Agnes she remembered 

The Agnes she knew was a woman who hid behind Jared, always laughing off any humiliations for the sake of not causing him any trouble 

She had never seen her as defiant and confident as she was now. 

Yolanda sneered, “Agnes, you’ve become shameless, using your ex–husband for your own gain.”
