Chapter 259: The set
"... I decided I wouldn’t allow them to take a bite from those properties but those people were adamant. They made an article with lots of fake pictures that stated that I killed my grandfather because he was sexually harassing me..." Jeslyn’s voice broke but she held back the tears.
"Some of the articles said that my grandfather wanted me to have a quicky with him before I left for my husband’s place but because I refused, the man slapped me, then I pushed him. Hahaha... people are sick..." teardrops escaped her eyes even though she tried to stop them.
Manager Kate passed her a tissue box that was on top of her desk.
"Thank you," Jeslyn accepted, pulled out a few tissues, and wiped her tears with them.
"Did you give them the properties?" Manager Kate asked.
"Of course," she folded the used tissues and placed them on the desk in front of her, then continued: "How could I have allowed my grandfather’s good reputation to be sullied like that? He’s a dead man, he can’t come back to clear his name..." she took a long pause.
"My grandfather used to tell me that a good name is the only thing we leave for the next generation and he urged me to keep my slate clean before I die, so how can I not keep his slate clean?"
"What if they had released the fake news even after giving them the properties?"
Jeslyn shook her head, "They had more to lose."
