A Shocking Revelation

My heart thundered wildly in my chest, beating so fast I was afraid it might burst.

Fortunately, I found patches of dirt on the shoes.

Ivan had always known I was a clean freak, and he always made sure that he looked presentable around me.

I quickly pieced together who it was and forced myself to stay calm.

I folded the papers and rose to meet the newcomer. "What's the rush?"

It was Dylan Gardner, who worked almost like an assistant to both Ivan and me.

"Reese, what are you doing in the office?" he asked.

His gaze fell on the papers in my hand. "What were you doing just now?"

I pulled out the drawer, put everything back, and explained, "I dropped the documents and had to pick them up."

It immediately convinced him.

After all, Ivan and I were engaged. It was nothing new that I appeared in Ivan's office.

Dylan had only come to deliver some documents. Since Ivan was not around, he did not stay long.

We left the office together, but I could not get my disturbing discovery out of my mind.

'Who the hell are you, Ivan Campbell?'

At that moment, my vision blurred abruptly. Then, a wall of thick comments flooded my vision.

'So, she's the next victim, huh?'

'The last three thought they could change Ivan and insist on marrying him, although they found his secret, and look where it got them. This one is even dumber, completely blinded by love. I bet she thinks he can still be redeemed. Little does she know, he doesn't love her at all.'

'Who does she think she is? Nobody asked her to save Ivan. He’s way out of her league. She’s nothing but a cheap whore.'

'We need more villainous male leads! I wonder how this woman would die this time. I can't wait to see it! Now Ivan is what I call a true villain. God, it’s so satisfying to see those idiots die in disbelief.'

'Great news, friends! The female lead, Cynthia, will appear soon! She's the only one who can free Ivan from his dark thoughts!'

The information I managed to gather from the comments left me stunned.

'What the hell? What is all this about? Villain, victims, dying… None of it makes sense!'

Before I could figure out what was happening, a woman suddenly rushed out from behind the partition. She dropped to her knees and grabbed my thigh, crying, "Reese, you already have everything! Please, give my man back to me! Being a homewrecker won't end well for you."

She finally raised her head.

I was shocked to realize it was Cynthia Adams. She was Dylan's girlfriend and a new employee of the company through his connections.

The random accusations took me aback. After the initial surprise, a sneer escaped me, and I yelled at her. "What's wrong with you, Cynthia? I only ran into Dylan in the office. How dare you accuse me of stealing your boyfriend and branding me as a homewrecker? Are you insane?"

An embarrassed Dylan tried to smooth things over. "Get up, Cynthia! Reese will never do that! Everyone's watching now, so let's not feed them rumors, okay? I'll explain to you later."

He had always been patient with her.

Therefore, even though she put him on the spot, he still comforted her, but none of us expected her next words to stun us both.
