truly despicable!”
The neighbors all tried to shift the blame, none of them willing to admit their part in spreading the rumors.
“Ms. Torrey, please rest assured- | will personally handle this matter. Within three days-no, within two days, | will
give you a satisfactory answer!”
The chief spoke with absolute certainty.

Fiona’s entire body stiffened as Ariana stared at her.
“No need. | already know who spread the rumors,” Ariana said coldly.
Fiona’s heart pounded in her chest.

Chloe followed soon after, bowing several more times before scurrying away.
Fiona didn’t dare to stay there any longer either. She quickly turned and left with Chloe, but as soon as they

“Why didn’t you tellyour cousin was a Torrey family heiress? If you had warned me, do you think | would
have dared to throw her out? What the hell were you thinking
