Josephine Jacobson, stop right there!” Katrina barked, then turned to her
colleagues who were watching the commotion at the door and said, “Everyone,
let's reason this out. Josephine wrongly accused me without distinguishing right
from wrong. She’s the one who engaged in such licentious actions, yet she wants
to push the blame onto me. Have you all met anyone more unreasonable than
her?!”
Everyone immediately stood on Katrina's side, finding Josephine overbearing
and unbelievable. Some female colleagues even stood up for Katrina. “We
believe you're innocent, Katrina. Josephine only acts high and mighty in the
office because of her relationship with Mr. Quarles. What actual power does she
have when she’s just a mere journalist?!”
Alas, Josephine had been in the limelight lately, and it made many of her
colleagues jealous. Naturally, they would kick Josephine down and remove her
from her position as the anchor now that the opportunity had presented itself. “Do
you want to explain yourself, Jacobson? When did you take these photos?”
“Yeah! Are you broke?” “Even so, she shouldn't stoop so low! The world isn’t
short of broke women, yet none would take such licentious photos to make
money either!”
Despite the crowd's self-righteous accusations, Josephine calmly announced, “I
won't explain myself. All of you will know the kind of person 1 am once the truth is
out.”
With that, she walked away, leaving Katrina barking behind her, “Do you really
think you're some big shot?! As if I'm afraid of you, b*tch!” Josephine had just
returned to her office when Atticus’ assistant approached her, asking her to go to
Atticus’ office.
At that, the young woman went to Atticus, who gazed at her with some regret.
“Josephine, how can something so damaging happen? Do you not know that
your image is everything as a newbie?”
“Someone set me up. I will get to the bottom of it. Please give me some time, Mr.
Kowalski,” Josephine requested. She was the number-one victim in this incident,
after all.
“Very well, Atticus agreed after some thought. “I'll have someone cover for you
for the time being. Take some time off for now. Do you want me to report this to
Mr. Quarles, or will you do it?"
Josephine tensed up at once, and she quickly said, “I'll tell him myself. No need
to trouble yourself with this, Mr. Kowalski.” The last thing Josephine wanted was
for Ethan to learn about this incident. Although the pictures were fake, they would
still leave a negative note on Ethan when it was her face that was superimposed.
Hence, she wanted to deal with this her way. Even when the world had blown the
issue up, Josephine remained calm. She didn't lose her rationality and give in to
anxiety and anger because she knew the people trying to kick her down would
ultimately pay the price.
Since she was little, Mills had reminded Josephine to lie low and never tell
anyone about their family, especially never to talk about Peter's job. Josephine
never got it when she was little. But a couple of middle-aged men approached
her in school and gave her a gift that was worth tens of thousands in hopes that
she would ask Peter to agree to have a meal with them.
Freaked out, Josephine ran away, and since then, she stuck fast to her father's
words, never mentioning her grandfather's job and staying as low-key as she
could..
Though Peter had already retired, he remained influential in politics. She never
requested anything substantial from her grandfather, either. In fact, she didn’t
even use his influence to get into college or a job. It was all herself.
However, what happened this time had crossed the line, and she was absolutely
livid. She wanted to catch the culprit and make them pay at once. With that, she
grabbed her phone and called Peter. “Hey, Joey, missing Grandpa?”
