Chapter 174

Vivian Bennett stepped through the doors of Sullivan Group and immediately sensed a strange atmosphere.

Employees were huddled together, whispering.

They scattered the moment they saw her.

Their evasive glances held a scrutinizing quality.

There was even a hint of barely concealed disdain.

Suspicion rose within Vivian.

Had something happened at the company?

Was it related to her?

She took a deep breath and walked straight to the Public Relations department.

The murmurs followed her like a shadow.

She had just sat down at her workstation when Emily Davis approached.

"Vivian, have you checked Twitter?"

Vivian shook her head.

She had overslept and nearly been late. There was no time to check her phone.

"You really don't know?" Emily's eyes widened.

Seeing Vivian's confused expression, she stamped her foot in frustration.

"What is it?" Vivian pressed.

The company's vibe was too strange.

Hannah Green had already been fired. Was someone else causing trouble?

Or had Liam Sullivan gone public with their relationship?

He wouldn't be that impulsive.

Vivian's heart began to race.

A faint sense of unease crept over her.

"Just look for yourself." Emily lowered her voice.

Vivian's fingertips turned cold.

Her luck had been terrible lately. Had something else happened?

Her computer screen lit up, displaying a trending headline.

"Zachary Hudson's New Flame Exposed, Spent the Night Together"

The accompanying photo was clearly of her and Zachary Hudson at the A-city mall.

Her face was captured perfectly.

"What is this?" Vivian exclaimed without thinking.

It was a business trip. How had it turned into a scandal?

Zachary had given her a hard time during that trip.

Now it was being reported like this?

Which media outlet was spreading this nonsense?

They were clearly using Zachary's fame for clicks.
