The company issued the official commendation notice soon after and restored all my qualifications for the premium routes. In an effort to claw back the situation, Chloe came up with an even more vicious scheme. A post soon appeared on the company intranet forum. The anonymous tip claimed that the reason I'd moved past the divorce so quickly and remarried in a flash was that my new husband came from a powerful family that had given me enormous backing. It even implied that my discovery of the simulator software vulnerability had come from getting hold of internal materials ahead of time through my new husband's connections. In no time, the rumors were everywhere. Plenty of people started looking at me strangely, convinced I was a trophy wife who'd climbed her way up by relying on a man.
