Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Word quickly spread about how coldly Valarie had treated Tom in public.

As soon as Valarie entered the Sumner Group, she sensed the strange stares from those around her.

At first, she thought it was just her imagination. However, when she bumped into a manager she had previously met during a partnership discussion, and the manager hesitated, she could no longer ignore it. "Ms. Maddock, is something going on? Why do the employees here keep looking at me strangely today?" she asked.

The manager paused for a moment before speaking quietly. "Ms. Weir, I heard that you had an unpleasant encounter with Mr. Genge at the Weir Group today."

Valarie's breakup with Tom five years ago had been highly publicized. Since many of the Sumner Group's employees had been with the company for years, they were familiar with her history with him. After all, it had made headlines when Valarie caught Tom cheating, and he had been vilified for it.

Following that incident, Tom disappeared abroad for five years, so it wasn't surprising that news spread about their encounter at the Weir Group.

"How did you find out?" Valarie asked, frowning. It had only taken her about ten minutes to get from the Weir Group to the Sumner Group. Could the news have spread so quickly?
