RedNovelChapter 486: Brenna understood everything and replied casually, “Oh, I understand. But really, it's not a big deal. Why is everyone so worried?" Julia looked shocked by Brenna's casual dismissal. "This is serious. Your reputation and your prospects for marriage could be damaged because of this. If Mr. Mitchell sees those photos, he'll surely get the wrong idea. How can you say it's not a big deal?" Brenna offered a slight smile, remaining unfazed. "It's okay. Rumors like these will fade away soon. Those who believe indon't need explanations, and for those who don't, explanations wouldn't make a difference anyway." After saying this, she ascended the stairs to find her mother, Giselle, seated on the couch in the small living room on the third floor, with a grave expression, engaged in a phone call.

I usually overlook it, but now there are false rumors circulating about Brenna's personal life. This is slander and illegal. I need you to ensure that the administrator removes those posts and stops any further discussions of the matter." Giselle's face burned with anger, and her tone was firm. Brenna approached and sat next to Giselle, smiling to reassure her mother that she was okay.
However, from Giselle's viewpoint, it appeared Brenna was masking her true feelings with that smile, already troubled by the rumors.
Giselle took Brenna's hand, offering comfort, while she continued her phone discussion. "We need to find where this all started and make sure those spreading lies face serious consequences. Brenna is an honorable young woman. She is passionate about her research and design work and has seen considerable success. Envious people are trying to tarnish her reputation, and I will not stand for it." Frank responded in a serious tone, "I understand, and I'm on it. I have already sent a team to look into this and have summoned the forum administrator. We'll deal with this promptly. Our institution is meant for education, not for fostering gossip."

Brenna, don't worry. We'll get to the bottom of this." Brenna felt reassured by Giselle's firm stance. Her mother's initial reaction wasn't to interrogate her or blher for the scandal but to stand by her. Brenna gently embraced Giselle. "Mom, it's just harmless gossip. It's not worth getting upset over." Giselle squeezed her hand and said, "My dear, don't take your reputation lightly. It's crucial for a woman in your position. There's a schemer behind this, trying to destroy you. Imagine if, when you go to the university on Monday, everyone thinks you're someone who casually sleeps with men. That could ruin your work and affect your future profoundly." At that moment, Shepard stepped out of the bedroom, clutching his phone. His face was dark with dissatisfaction over how poorly his team had handled the task.

He turned to Giselle and Brenna and began venting his frustration, saying, "How long has it been told them to take those posts down, but they failed. The posts are still everywhere! They make ridiculous salaries but are useless. This is unacceptable. I'll fire them all soon!"
