I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 970

Chapter 970: Hands Off Her!

Anthony said in a nonchalant tone, "Almost became your sister-in-law, satisfied with this answer?"

Upon hearing Anthony's response, Aaron visibly froze, even a bit surprised. In Aaron's impression, Anthony had always been someone who enjoyed the company of women but never got emotionally attached. If there were any women around him, it was merely a passing fling, a casual romance. He wouldn't genuinely invest his heart, as Anthony's situation could lead to countless problems if he ever became emotionally attached to someone.

So, when Anthony said what he did, Aaron didn't know how to respond. After a brief silence, Aaron finally spoke in a low voice, "Big bro, I'm sorry. I genuinely didn't know about your relationship with Miss Thompson, so I... "

"We don't have any relationship," Anthony interrupted him before he could finish his sentence. "Since you chose to enter the entertainment industry, you better behave yourself and climb up the ladder based on your own abilities. If you think you lack the talent and are just being foolish, I suggest you quit the industry now and come back to take over the family business."

Anthony's tone was slightly gloomy, tinged with hidden anger. In the Austi family, the only person Aaron feared besides his father was Anthony.

"Big bro, I know I was wrong. I won't do such things again in the future," Aaron said. He knew Anthony was a man of his word, and if Anthony asked him to quit the industry, the Austi family would surely agree with Anthony's decision.

"If there's another incident like this, you won't need to stay in the industry anymore," Anthony warned before promptly hanging up the phone.

After ending the call with Aaron, Anthony dialed Belle's number.

Belle answered the call while helping Selena pack her things.

"Hey, big bro," Belle greeted.

"Busy?" Anthony inquired.

"Yeah, getting ready for a shoot outside in a couple of days, just organizing some stuff," Belle replied.

"Got a question for you," Anthony spoke in a hushed voice.

Upon hearing Anthony's words, Belle's grip on the phone tightened involuntarily. "Go ahead, ask," she said.

"Are you dating Selena?"

Belle's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Anthony's question. "No, of course not. How could I..."

"Belle, you think you can hide anything from me if I want to know?" Belle's words were interrupted by Anthony's voice. "You can scheme against others, but you can't do that to Sandy."

"Brother... do you like Sandy?" Belle asked, shifting the topic after hearing Anthony's warning.

"That's the last time. If there's a next time, try it and see if your precious Selena can stay in the entertainment industry," Anthony replied evasively.

Anthony's words left Belle feeling anxious. "Are you calling to warn me not to meddle with Sandy?"

"You think I'm concerned about who you're dating?" Anthony retorted. "Just remember what I said. Otherwise, if Selena falls from grace one day, you'll have played a part in it."

Before Belle could respond, Anthony hung up the phone.

Hiruma, who had been standing nearby, couldn't help but comment, "Anthony, why bother? You're going out of your way to protect her, but she's completely clueless. Besides, now..."

"Hiruma, you'll meet someone someday whom you'll want to protect at all costs," Anthony interrupted before Hiruma could finish his sentence.

Hiruma fell silent after being cut off by Anthony.
