Chapter 12
Isabela found a temporary job at the town library, organizing old books and checking out loans.
Work was quiet, no one knew her, and no one would suddenly slap her in the face or force her to kneel down
Although the days were a bit boring, she really enjoyed this kind of plain and simple feeling
She thought she could finally catch her breath.
One evening after work, she was passing by the small square in town when she saw a few young girls gathered together, pointing and charting on their phones. Suddenly, one of them looked up and their eyes met hers.
“Hey, look, isn’t that her?”
Isabela paused for a moment
The next second, the girls burst into a fit of giggles.
“It’s really ber! Oh my god, those photos…”
“She looks mocent, but I didn’t expect her to be so wild in private.”
Isabela’s blood froze instantly.
All the bad memories came flooding back into her mind, she felt like she was once again the discarded toy at an auction, mocked and insulted by
everyone.
A bad feeling came
CHINE DVE TIME.
She almost ran away, but could still hear those sharp laughs in her ears.
When Isabela gut home, she nervously opened her phone and searched for the local group of the town.
Sure enough, her nude photos and bed photos from the annual meeting were anonymously posted online.
Caption: “Our town’s new librarian used to be a “big shot” in the city.”
Isabela bit her lip so hard that she tasted blood.
She thought she had escaped far enough, but Elaine still wouldn’t let her g
The next day, Isabela didn’t go to the library.
She curled up in bed, her phone kept vibrating, and one text message after another from unfamiliar numbers lept popping up
“How much for one night? Is 200 enough?”
you h
have a nice figure, how about being my lover? I can definitely give you more money then you earn from your current job!”
“What’s the point of pretending to be high and mighty when everyone has seen photos of you bring wild in bed?”
She shivered, turned off her phone, threw it into the corner, and curled up into a tiny ball.
In the evening, the doorbell rang.
Isabela saw Rhett standing outside the door through the peephole, holding a document in his hand.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally opened the door.
Rhett’s gaze fell on her pale lace, with a slight frown: “Are you okay?”
Isabela shook her head, her voice hoarse: “How could you..”
“The people at the library said you didn’t show up for work, a bit worried.” He paused, handing over the documents, “These are the IP records and evidence of the tumor mongers, I’ve already contacted a lawyer, we can sue.”
Tabela froze: “Why did you help me?”
calm, “Because it’s wrong
Rhett looked at her, his eyes calm,
Just five simple words, but they made Isabela’s eyes well up with tears Instantly.
She took the documents and her fingertips were trembling slightly.

Rhett didn’t ask much, just gently reassured, “If you need, I can go to the police station with you.”
Isabela stayed silent for a long time, then finally whispered, “Thank you…”
That night, Carla went home with red eyes, clutching printed photos in her hands.
“Bella, are these… real?”
Isabela watched her mother’s trembling hands, her heart feeling like it was being squeezed rightly.
She felt even worse Inside, shaking her head helplessly, “I didn’t do it willingly
Carla’s tears fell down all of a sudden, and I hugged her tenderly, saying, “My daughter….”
After feeling the long–lost wannth, Isabela completely broke downs emotionally and cried out in her mother’s arms.
Carla wiped her tears and gritted her teeth, saying, “Let’s call the police! Tell them everything!”
Isabela shook her head, “It’s no use they have power and influence.”
Carla tightly held her hand and said, ““Let’s get out of here! Mein will be with you, we can go anywhere!”
Isabela looked at her mother’s gray hair and suddenly realized…
checouldn’t run away anymore.
Even though things were scary, she still had to face everything head–on for the person she loved.
The rumors in the small town were getting worse and worse, Isabela could feel the gossip and stares as she walked down the street.
Rhett was with her all the time dealing with legal procedures, but the other party was obviously prepared The IP addresses were all from oversees proxies, making it difficult to trace
One night, Isabela finished work and headed home, when suddenly she noticed foorsteps behind her.
She quickened her pace, and the footsteps behind her also quickened
Just as she was about to start running, a car headlight shone towards her
Rhett’s car parked next to her.
“Get in.” He rolled down the window, looking cautiously behind her.
│Isabela got into the car and saw a dark shadow quickly duck into the alley through the rearview mirror.
Rhett gripped the steering wheel tightly, his voice low, “This is no coincidence.”
Isabela closed her eyes, leaning wearlly against the seat.
She knew Elaine wouldn’t let her off easily.
The next day, Rhett brought some news.
“The neighboring city has a cultural company recruiting planners, with your qualifications, you can definitely handle it.” He paused, “If you’re willing, I can recommend you.”
Isabela remained silent for a long time, finally nodded and said, “Okay.”
When she was packing her bags, her mother stood at the door, wanting to say something but hesitating
Mom, I’ll pick you up once I settle down.” Isabela forced a simile.
Carla shook her head, “Mom’s not going anywhere, just waiting for you right here.” She touched her daughter’s face, “Bella, don’t be afraid, keep moving forward.”
Isabela hugged her mother tightly, tears silently streaming down her face
From now on, she will never be a coward again
She had to learn to fight back, and do everything she could to protect everyone around her.
As for photos, she would investigate thoroughly to the end
