Chapter 449:
At Silver Boulder Private Hospital, Jessa Padila felt the unwelcstares as soon as she walked in. She clocked in
for work and immediately noticed the curious glances from colleagues as they passed by.
As a nurse in the gynecology department, she usually encountered women on her way to the office. Each one
seemed to glance her way as they walked past.
“Why is everyone staring attoday?”
Three hours later, the constant stares nearly drove her crazy. Jessa loved a bit of gossip, but not when she was
the one being talked about. She had stealthily checked her phone several times but found nothing unusual.
Finally, at the duty desk, she couldn't resist asking another nurse.
“Jessa, so you're quite the player behind the scenes, aren't you? Didn't you just get married? How cyou're

us to see? Is it a thrill or just for fun?” The nurse across from Jessa couldn't contain her laughter.
“I'd delete all your social media posts if | were you, or the head nurse will want to have a serious chat.”
Jessa’s face turned white.
“What posts?”
Her hands shook as she tapped open her social media feed, only to have her eyes widen in shock at the top post.
“I like him. | want him to fuckbadly. Everything | own is his.”
One of the photos displayed a man in only his boxer shorts, looking directly at the camera as he confidently
showed off his physique. Other photos showed Jessa in scanty attire, striking provocative poses for the camera,
radiating allure. Jessa was known for her sincerity, so no one would have guessed she led such a bold side.
She wasn't just involved in an affair; she was openly bold about it. She had only shown a few photos. There were
probably even more hidden away!
“No, | don’t recognize the man in these photos.”
Jessa quickly attempted to delete the post, frantically denying any ties to the man in the photos. The post had
appeared just before she started work, and she had never imagined she would be linked to something like this.
But she was certain she hadn't uploaded it herself.
Her face turned crimson with anger as she exclaimed, “This is defamation! I'm not involved, I didn’t do this...”
“Con, if you've posted the pictures and the update, are you really saying it wasn't you? Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
The mocking glances from her colleagues pierced Jessa like needles, and their laughter and ridicule rang in her
ears. She covered her ears and ran out.
“Stop it, stop it!"

The photos in the update were indeed hers, but she genuinely did not recognize the man in them! Clearly,
someone was spreading rumors, but no one believed her. Was this what it felt like to be powerless when
slandered? She felt defenseless.
Meanwhile, at another hospital in Glophia, a doctor faced accusations of having an affair.
Norah, overhearing other doctors in her department discuss Jessa’s situation, felt a gleam of delight in her eyes.
She had let them feel what it was like to be the subject of rumors.
Jolie shivered. Jessa was a friend of her friend, and she had been asked to post the photos of Norah. Yet, just a
day after the photos were uploaded, explosive gossip about Jessa spread. Jolie was certain that Norah had
stepped in.
Thankfully, she had deleted all chat records, leaving no trace back to her. She felt relieved for having the
foresight to shift the blame, saving herself from potentially disastrous slander.
