22. Slander

Birds sang in the morning. The sun smiled warmly, a sign that morning had come.

Hoaamm 

Tiara yawned. She just got up and stretched her stiff muscles. 

Tiara walked into the bathroom to freshen up and clean herself, then got ready to go to work as usual.

Tiara stepped down the stairs. She walked towards the dining table for breakfast before leaving for the office to work. 

In the dining room sat her Father, Mother, and her sister.

Tiara dragged a chair to sit down, took the bread, and then spread her favorite chocolate for breakfast. 

Tiara was just about to start putting the bread into her mouth. Suddenly her Father approached her full of anger. 

Braaakk! 

Jerry slammed today's newspapers and magazines on the table right in front of Tiara. 

"Eh, what's wrong?" Tiara muttered in surprise.

"You see that?! How embarrassing photos of you and Yohan can be spread to the media like this! How do you have to meet your colleagues/clients in your company?! Where do you want to put your face?!" Said Jerry, emotionally.

Tiara took the newspapers and magazines in front of her. She flipped through the pages one by one. 

Tiara was completely shocked that the photo of her kissing in front of the corporate elevator with the Chairman of the Lianxi Group was printed large on the newspaper's main page today. 

"Shit! Who did this?" she looked at his sister. "This must be what she did," she muttered to herself.

It turned out that when Tiara was in J city, Tara had arranged for someone to follow her secretly. And in her Father's office, she also had a spy. 

They were the ones who took photos of Yohan and Tiara kissing near the company elevator and spreaded the video footage from the company's CCTV.

"Look, Papa. Tiara's news also became a trending topic in an online newspaper this morning," Tara pretended to be sad with the spread of the photos. She handed her cellphone to Jerry.

Jerry Jiang was once again unaware that this was his daughter, Tara's behavior. 

In order to returned home and became the heir to the company, she could do anything.

"You! It must be Tara who did it! You did this so that I married Yohan, and you were free from him!" said Tiara, pointing at Tara. 

Tiara then approached her to slap her evil sister's face, but her Father prevented her.

Jerry, who was embarrassed and angry, couldn't control himself.

Plaakkk!

A hard slap landed on Tiara's cheek. 

"This is a picture of you with Yohan kissing! Why are you blaming Tara?!"

"Pa, this is a misunderstanding! It's not like what you imagined. He kissed me forcefully." Tiara explained.

"Tiara, you don't need to go to the office today. See Yohan and tell him that you agree to marry him. That's the only way to suppress this news and silence the media," said Jerry.

"No! I don't want to marry him!" Tiara shouted, who still refused the match.

Obviously, this was just a trick of Tara. Why did she have to be sacrificed?

"You have no right to refuse anymore! Your family's good name has been destroyed because of you! Do what I say, or leave this house!" said Jerry emphasized.

"Hik ... hik..hik ..." Tiara burst into tears. 

"Why? Why don't you believe in me? I don't want to marry him! There's no love between us. How can we get married?" said Tiara sadly.

"You have to solve this problem. If you don't want to marry Yohan, then you can find another man to marry you. Or I will find you another man to immediately marry," said Jerry.

Tiara's heart was so sad and broken. Her marriage to her loved one was canceled because of Jonatan's betrayal, who cheated on her sister Tara. 

Now she was forced to marry a man she never loved because of Tara's trap. What kind of bad luck is this that comes insistently.

Tiara hesitated that she didn't want to marry Yohan. 

But she didn't know what kind of man her father would marry her if she didn't marry Yohan or another man she chose herself. 

Nor could she possibly hope that her fiancé Jonatan had betrayed her love. 

"What should I do?" 

This beautiful woman ran to her room and cried to reduce the burden and sadness in her heart. 

She also had to think hard to find a way out of the problem in front of her.

Meanwhile, in her yard, many journalists were waiting to interview this beautiful woman and ask what her real relationship with the owner of the biggest construction company in S city was.
