Chapter 22
Aurelia arrived at the company and something seemed off. The way everyone was looking at her was strange.
She felt confused and went back to her desk. Then, she saw Millie standing by the pantry door, gesturing with her eyes. So, she immediately picked up her cup and went into the pantry.
“Millie, what’s going on?”
Millie was too agitated to speak. She just kept tapping her phone’s screen!
“Aurelia! Have you been involved in a scandal?”
“What?” Aurelia was completely baffled.
“This morning, we all received an email from someone claiming to be Mrs. Lynch. She’s accusing you of having an affair with her husband for a job! There are pictures of you and Mr. Lynch looking intimate in the restaurant. Didn’t you receive it?” Millie showed Aurelia the email on her phone.
Aurelia looked at the phone and saw nine photos of herself with Jason Lynch at a restaurant. In the photos, Jason was touching her hand and holding it. Two of the pictures were taken at angles that made it look like they were kissing.
Alia was stunned. After regaining her composure, she checked her own phone and realized that everyone in the company had received the email, except for her. Clearly, this was done to prevent her from responding in time.
“Millie, are you sure it was sent by Mrs. Lynch?”
“Of course. Who else would be so bold to claim it?” Millie pointed at the name in the email.
Aurelia frowned. Florence Lynch knew about her relationship with Jason. Moreover, Florence just gave birth to a child. How would she have time to do such things?
“Millie, I…” Before Aurelia could explain, the angry voice of Zachary came from outside the pantry.
“Aurelia! Where are you?”
Hearing the voice, Aurelia felt like the entire pantry was trembling. She had never seen. Zachary so angry before.
She quickly turned and walked out of the pantry. To her surprise, many people who were not involved were sitting nearby. They were watching the scene unfold.
Kimberly stood at the front and tried to comfort Zachary. “Mr. Zeller, don’t be angry. There must be some misunderstanding!”
Then she turned to Aurelia, “Aurelia! Tell us it’s not you in the photos! I can’t believe you. would do such a thing!”
‘Do such a thing?” Aurelia thought.
She frowned and said, “Mr. Zeller, it is me in the photos, but…”
“But what! You admit it! Aurelia! You have no shame, but the company does! This kind of

scandal could ruin the company’s reputation!” Kimberly didn’t give her a chance to explain and insisted that Aurelia had seduced Jason for her job. But they knew who was really pestering Jason.
Aurelia ignored Kimberly’s slander and walked up to Zachary, “Mr. Zeller, I will clear misunderstanding!”

“Clear it up? How? Mrs. Lynch is so upset she sent the email to One Technology’s mailbox. Now both companies know what you’ve done! How can you say this is a misunderstanding?” Zachary questioned.
Aurelia was taken aback. She didn’t expect the situation to escalate this much. She immediately said, “Mr. Zeller, I have a way to prove that Jason and I were not involved in any scandal. Please wait a moment.”
Just then, the receptionist rushed in, looking panicked. She exclaimed, “Mr. Zeller! There’s a woman outside… She claims to be Mrs. Lynch.”
Kimberly smirked and pretended to be worried. She said, “It must be Mrs. Lynch coming to confront you! Aurelia, you’re finished!”
The truth was that Kimberly sent the photos using Mrs. Lynch’s name. She knew that the day Aurelia left the company early, Aurelia would definitely go to One Technology. So, she secretly took the photos.
If Aurelia chose to back off after finding out about her relationship with the boss of One Technology, she wouldn’t have wanted to make a scene. But Aurelia managed to get tickets to the technology exhibition and seemed very confident about it. So, she decided to act first.
This time, she wanted to see how Aurelia would get out of this situation!
The wives of rich families were often tough on mistresses. They would slap them, tear their clothes, and pull their hair… It could be really humiliating.
Kimberly couldn’t wait to see Aurelia getting beaten and rolling on the ground.
Hearing the commotion, everyone turned to look at the office entrance. Some even took out their phones to record the scene.
Aurelia became nervous too.
What exactly was going on?
