Chapter 119 Clearing The Air

• Walking into the law firm felt like stepping into a lion's den. The scandal that had engulfed my life had found its way into the workplace, and my co-workers seemed all too eager to taunt me. They huddled in small groups, whispering and casting judgmental glances in my direction. I could hear their hushed voices, their words dripping with malice, as they listened to Jasper's slanderous tales.
• I had expected some level of hostility, but the reality of their taunts and sneers cut deeper than I could have imagined. I had become a pariah in my own workplace, a target of ridicule and gossip.
• As I made my way to my desk, I couldn't escape the feeling of being watched. Their gazes bore into me, their smirks and knowing looks far from hidden.
