“At least my work earned a 9.5, unlike someone who didn’t even get a score.” Ruby’s words were unmistakably pointed, and it was clear who she was referring to.
Those who didn’t like Katelyn quickly joined Ruby, commenting, “Yeah, so smug, yet ended up with no points. It’s hilarious.”
Someone nudged the speaker, adding, “Her talents are all used for dating—I’m sure you wouldn’t understand.”
“Exactly. Just look at what’s trending on Twitter.”
That comment piqued the curiosity of many, and soon, several people pulled out their phones to check Twitter. Everyone was taken aback as they read the trending news, their eyes instinctively turning to Katelyn.
“Breaking News: CEO Vincent Adams of Adams Group has a fiancée, and designer Iris is willing to be the third wheel?” The headline quickly shot to the top of the trending list.
Aimee, sensing something was amiss, checked the trending topics herself. Her face immediately darkened.
Katelyn furrowed her brows, glancing at Aimee.
“What’s on the trending list?”
Although Katelyn was no stranger to being in the spotlight, the current buzz still made her feel uneasy.
Just as Aimee was about to show Katelyn the trending topics, another voice interrupted, “Let me take a look!”
Vincent was the first to grab Aimee’s phone, and his face grew darker with every word he read. The atmosphere in the room became thick with tension, almost suffocating, weighing down on everyone and making it hard to catch a breath.
As Katelyn leaned in to check the phone, Vincent quickly pulled it away, his voice low and firm.

“Don’t look.”
But Katelyn shook her head and said firmly, “It’s fine; I can handle whatever it is.”
The one thing she couldn’t stand was being left in the dark. She stared at Vincent with unwavering focus. In the end, Vincent had no choice but to give her the phone.
When Katelyn saw the news, she wasn’t all that surprised. It was only a matter of time before it went public. It had already been mentioned at Yata before, but there were still some obstacles between the networks, so not much had been known locally.
It now seemed that both local and international audiences were aware. But she didn’t care. She and Vincent weren’t romantically involved, nor was she some third wheel. She had no secrets, so why should she be scared?
Everyone was watching Katelyn, waiting for her response.
If it had been anyone else, they likely would have lost their cool right then and there. But Katelyn simply looked at the phone and said calmly, “Mr. Adams and I have always been business partners. If you’re trying to make this about romance, I have nothing else to say.” Those spreading these rumors were hoping she’d lose her composure and become the of online mockery. So why should she give them what they wanted?
Ruby looked at Katelyn with contempt and said, “It’s bold of you to talk like that when you’re a mistress. Who would want a woman like you with no shame?” She believed women like that should be punished harshly.
But in the next moment, Ruby felt a pair of cold eyes glaring at her, freezing the smug look on her face. A chill ran down her spine, as if it was trying to wrap around her and hold her down.
