The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 713

Otis turned and looked through the car window. A trace of disdain flickered in his gaze as he watched Zane and Annalise chat happily inside.

He wanted to see if the two of them could still laugh like that later.

A flood of posts suddenly appeared online. The general headline was, "Do you know about Zane's girlfriend's dark past?"

The mere mention of a "dark past" was enough to draw a crowd, with curious readers piling in to ask what had happened.

The netizens who started the topic quickly began fabricating rumors without restraint. They claimed that Annalise used to bully classmates in school, disrespect teachers, and more.

Sasha was hunched over her desk, focused on work. It wasn't until a friend sent her a message that she noticed the posts spreading across the internet.

She rolled her eyes. If Annalise had really done the things they were saying, wouldn't people have exposed it years ago, back when Steven became successful? Why would they wait until now?

These people weren't even trying to make their lies believable.

Sasha scoffed and went right back to work.
