Josephine couldn’t help but be stunned. Was it so important to him whether she believed him or not? Was it worth him using such an injured tone?
She thought that since they met each other despite everything, they should part ways peacefully. “Yes, I believe you. Let’s go!” Josephine appeased him, going against her truest thoughts.
When Ethan heard that, he smiled as he shook his head. She didn’t believe him at all, but she still lied to him about it. They had only known each other for three days, and he would be asking too much of her if he wanted her to believe him.
After all, he didn’t know her that well either. With that, Ethan sent Josephine home.When she got out of the car, Ethan passed her his phone. Confused, Josephine asked, “What are you doing, Mr. Quarles?”
“Give me your number,” he said. “Forget it!” Josephine felt like it was unnecessary.
After all, they would return to their own lives after the wedding.
“Even if you don’t give me your number, I have my ways of getting it. I hope you can give it to me on your own accord,” the man requested. Josephine thought for a bit. Having extra connections wouldn’t hurt. Besides, what if she needed his help somewhere down the line?
Josephine took his phone and keyed in her number. Then, she dialed her number once before waving goodbye. “See you later tonight.”
When Josephine returned to the villa, her mother had just woken up. Heidi asked where she had gone, and Josephine merely said, “I went out for fun.” However, she didn’t tell Heidi that she had gone out with a man.
Now, Heidi wished Josephine could just get married already. She could even see a son-in- law in every decent-looking man she encountered.
Josephine went back to her room and was about to process the photos when her phone rang. She glanced at her phone to see that it was a call from her colleague, Wren Simpson. Thus, she reached out and answered the call. “Hello?”
“What the hell, Joey?! No wonder I haven’t seen you these days; you’re attending the Presgraves’ wedding!” “Did Mr. Fox tell you that?” Josephine asked.
“He didn’t say anything. You contributed to the company, didn’t you? You helped our company get exclusive photos of the Presgrave wedding, and we just uploaded them! We’ve gotten so many shares already! Also, it’ll be included in our news program at 8.00PM tonight! You’re amazing!”
“What?” Josephine was so shocked that she stood up. “What photos? I never sent any photos to the company! Where did you get them from?”
“What? From you, of course! We all know what sort of person you are, Joey, so don’t worry, we won’t say that it’s from you. You sent them anonymously, after all!”
“That won’t do. No matter who sent it, you have to stop sharing it right now and delete the article. I’m serious! I wasn’t the one who sent the email,” Josephine said anxiously.
“We can’t stop it anymore. Let me see… We’ve hit over 100,000 shares already!” Josephine was desperate now. Who had sent the photos to the company under her name? They were essentially getting her in trouble!
Josephine immediately ended her call with Wren, then contacted Mr. Fox, the leader of her team at work. Just as expected, Mr. Fox began the conversation with praise.
“Joey! I expected no less from you! I knew you wouldn’t miss such sensational news. I’m going to get you that promotion this year!”
“Mr. Fox, I wasn’t the one who sent those photos, and I’m asking you to stop spreading this news right now. If not, the consequences would be unthinkable,”
Josephine warned.
“What? Weren’t you the one who sent it to us? When we received the letter, the signature was yours!” “It wasn’t me, I promise. I don’t know whom I offended to get framed like this,” Josephine explained earnestly.
“But Joey, don’t you know how many views we’re getting just because you got us the exclusive shots? This is all profit!” “I don’t care about the money, Mr. Fox. Please stop spreading it!” Josephine begged..
“No can do. Some things just can’t be undone.. Also, the photos have already been leaked, so even if we don’t cover this news as soon as we can, other TV stations will cover it anyway. Just let it be and enjoy the banquet!”
Josephine slapped her forehead in agony. Who on earth was trying to frame her?! She was so mad that she went out to the balcony for some fresh air. She felt like she was sweating all over.
However, right at that moment, she noticed someone sitting in the garden. It was none other than Selena, and the woman was having some tea while playing with her phone.
Selena caught sight of Josephine too as she looked up and narrowed her eyes at the latter.
All of a sudden, Josephine realized only Selena had a grudge against her. Could she have framed me? She then remembered mentioning her job and workplace to only Selena.
Josephine was filled with anger. She immediately went down the stairs and stormed right up to Selena’s villa. Then, she pushed open the gate and went in.
“Selena, were you the one who leaked photos of the wedding under my name?”
Josephine interrogated. Selena was prepared for this as well, and of course, she would never admit to it. She retorted with a sneer, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Is that so? Of all the guests here, you were the only one I told about the TV station I worked for, so it’s definitely you! Do you know how much trouble you’re putting me in?” Josephine bellowed furiously.
“Why must it be me? Do you have any evidence? Also, I’m not the only person who knows about your job, am I? You have friends too. Don’t your friends know about your identity? Josephine, you shouldn’t accuse someone like that.” Selena stood up, adamantly. refusing to admit it.
“I know it’s you. You’re the bride’s family, so how can you do this to her? The Presgraves forbid their weddings to be made public, don’t you know that?” Josephine was fuming. She couldn’t ignore the fact that a family member of the bride could be so nonchalant about the bride’s reputation.
Selena feigned anger as she said, “Josephine, I think you’re the one who spread the news yourself! Reporters like you constantly try to attract attention and views, aren’t I right? This is your job too, so you’re just trying to get credit in your company!”
Josephine didn’t expect to be accused in return. She decided that she had to notify the Presgraves immediately so that they could deal with this matter as soon as possible.
Thankfully, Josephine had gotten Ethan’s number just now. She took out her phone, and as she walked away, she dialed Ethan’s number. “Hello! Missing me already?”
The man answered the call with a smile. “Mr. Quarles, there’s something I need your help with. It’s urgent.”
“A request so soon? Go ahead,” the man said readily. “Here’s the thing; I just received a call from a colleague at work. Someone leaked photos of the wedding, and I thought I should inform the Presgraves about it. If not, it’ll cause them trouble.”
“What? Who leaked them?” ‘Someone sent an email to my company under my name.”
“Have you been framed?” Ethan instantly asked in concern.
“The most important thing right now is to inform the Presgraves. You seem to be close to them, so I was hoping you’d help me out with this.” “Sure! I’ll talk to the Presgraves right away. Don’t panic,” Ethan comforted her.
Josephine was already back in her own villa. Seeing how willing Ethan was to help, she finally let out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, in the garden, Selena was filled with glee. As expected, this tactic worked best on Josephine. Even if the Presgraves started investigating this matter, she wouldn’t be suspected at all..
Ethan quickly informed Jared about this. Although Jared was rather surprised, he approached the matter calmly since Ethan was the one who had informed him. “I’ll get my men to contact the TV station.”
“Jared, Miss Jacobson was the one who told me about this. She’s a reporter working for that TV station, but I can guarantee she wasn’t the one who leaked it.”
“I believe you, and I believe her too, said Jared. Meanwhile, Josephine was waiting for Ethan’s call at the villa. She wanted to know what the situation was, as well as if the problem had. been resolved. She also wondered if the TV station would receive a warning.
At the same time, she was worried that her work might be affected. Soon, Ethan’s call came in, and Josephine immediately answered it. ‘Hello, Mr. Quarles.”
“I’ve informed the Presgraves, and they’ll contact your TV station soon. Also, I’ve clarified things for you, so don’t worry!”
“Thank you!” “Do you know who leaked the photos?” Josephine wanted to say that it was Selena, but since she didn’t have any evidence, she could only say, “I’m not sure either.”
“Alright, the Presgraves will investigate this matter. Don’t worry.” “Thank you so much, Mr. Quarles.” It was only now that Josephine realized how beneficial it was to have a friend like him..
