Unscented-Chapter 145 - 86 Rumors

Trending topic?

Melissa took out her phone and checked Twitter. Soon enough, she saw a top search, "An employee of the Gibson Corporation is suspected of murdering and hitting the relatives of the victim". 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

There were words and pictures attached. The article described how Melissa had deliberately pushed Susie into Lover’s Lake. With the accusation of Claire and Trevon, the case was confusing.

The mother of the victim Susie came to seek justice for her daughter, but she was beaten by Melissa in the street and pushed to the ground.

And there were photos. From the angle of the photos, Melissa did push Cindy to the ground.

But in fact, Cindy was the first to grab Melissa. Melissa just gently pushed her, but she sat on the ground under the force and howled.

In the post, Cindy was depicted as a victim.

And Melissa was like an unforgivable woman who deliberately pushed Susie into the lake and fought against Cindy.

The comments below were all criticizing what Melissa had done and scolding her harshly.

After staring at the screen for a while, Melissa frowned.

This matter was not that simple.

The opinion of the public was very obvious, which was to claim her intention of killing, to incite the people who knew nothing about the case to attack her with the power of Internet violence, and there was no lack of people who were hired to add fuel to the fire.

After all, Cindy was just an ordinary middle-aged woman who did not have this kind of power at all.

It seemed that there were quite a number of people who wanted to frame Melissa.

Melissa smiled sarcastically, and her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and Anthony’s voice came through the other end, "Ada, did you check Twitter? Why are you in the trending topics?"

"I saw it." Melissa smiled and joked, "Maybe that’s because I’m popular now."

"Alright... Who dares to slander you? I’ll help you get rid of it right away." Anthony said angrily, "Fuck! How dare they slander you! I’m going to hack the media system!"

"You don’t have to do that." Melissa said casually, "Since they enjoy making up rumors, let them do it."

Anthony was confused, "Ada, aren’t you afraid that it will damage your reputation?"

Melissa sneered, "Right now, the more they slander me, the more interesting the game will be. Since they want to play, then I’ll play with them."

Anthony pondered and murmured, "Ada, do you mean..."

Melissa raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth curled into a meaningful smile, "Help me investigate Susie."

Since Susie deliberately wanted to harm her, there must be some clues left.

Anthony understood instantly and replied, "I see, Ada. Wait for my good news."

After hanging up the phone, Melissa’s eyes became colder.

Originally, she only wanted to peacefully live through these three months and then leave. She hadn’t expected that she would be under so much attention and trouble.

Since they had come to offend her, she would have to protect herself!

Melissa woke up early in the morning. After being busy all morning and being pestered by that shrew Cindy for a while, she felt a little sleepy.

Melissa yawned, got up, and prepared to go to the pantry to make a cup of coffee.

Along the way, many other employees looked at her differently, pointing at her and whispering.

"Do you think Melissa really pushed Susie into the lake?"

"That must be true. That’s what the trending topics said."

"I think that’s hard to believe."

"You can never judge a book by its cover. I’ve heard that Melissa comes from the suburbs. The country girls can be the most vicious."

"Maybe you’re right."

All kinds of rumors came around, but Melissa turned a deaf ear to them. Her expression was still calm as she walked straight to the tea room.

She was bending over to brew coffee when the door to the tea room suddenly opened.

Hearing the noise, Melissa looked up and saw a tall and straight figure walking in. It was Murray.

"Murray?" Melissa was surprised.

If she remembered correctly, the mighty president never came to the tea room.

After all, the assistant had to take care of things like serving tea for Murray.

Murray closed the door of the tea room and strode over to Melissa.

He nodded slightly and looked down at Melissa. "Are you alright?"

"What can be wrong with me?" Melissa put down the cup and looked calm.

"Didn’t you check the trending topics just now?" Murray was stunned.

"Well, you mean that? I haven’t done anything. Why should I be afraid?" Melissa chuckled.

Melissa’s calm and indifferent appearance was somewhat beyond Murray’s expectations.

Originally, he thought that Melissa would be aggrieved and sad since she had been wronged like that, so the moment he saw the trending topic, he asked someone to remove the article and went to Melissa’s seat to look for her, hoping to comfort her.

Knowing that Melissa had come to the tea room, he could not wait to come over.

He did not expect Melissa to be so calm.

Or was she just pretending to be strong?

Murray suddenly reached out and held Melissa’s hand with his big hand. Care flashed through his deep eyes. "Don’t worry, I’ve already asked someone to remove the trending topics and also ordered that anyone who talks about you behind your back is fired."

Melissa was a little speechless.

She did not need Murray to stand up for her.

She even wanted to let the trending topics stay there for a few more days, let the public opinion ferment, making the whole thing bigger. She couldn’t understand why Murray always interfered with her life.

However, it was Murray’s way of showing concern for her.

With that in mind, Melissa felt a bit warm.

"I’m fine, really ," she said with a bright smile.

Murray leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Melissa, you are my fiancée. No matter what happens, I won’t leave you alone. Do you understand?"

His warm breath was sprayed all over Melissa’s neck, making her blush.

As her heart began to beat faster, Melissa hurriedly took a few deep breaths.

This inexplicable feeling made her feel a little depressed. How could she let Murray affect her emotions?

Melissa calmed herself down and pushed Murray away. "Murray, you’d better keep a distance from me. Our relationship only exists within the limited time in the contract. Besides, I can handle these things myself. You don’t have to worry about it."

In fact, Melissa did not like to owe anyone anything. The more Murray did for her, the more she felt guilty.

Melissa’s aloof voice entered Murray’s ears. His handsome face sank, and a complicated emotion emerged in his eyes. Then, his eyes turned cold again.

He suddenly tightened his grip on Melissa’s small hand. Melissa wasn’t paying attention and slipped, her entire body pouncing towards his chest.

"Melissa, do you really just consider me as your fiancé in the contract?" Murray asked.

Wrapped in the scent of his mature aura, Melissa’s heart began to beat faster uncontrollably. His deep eyes stared at her tightly as if there was magic in them, causing people to indulge in it.

Melissa quickly diverted her gaze away and pushed him away. She pursed her lips and asked coldly, "Or what?"
