My Cold Ex-Wife Refused to Move On novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Baby Sister

+8 Pearls

He always saw Lemon as a little sister, so it never occurred to him that Lemon might have different feelings

for him.

Wendy tapped away on her tablet, sending all of Noah’s information to Sammy. She added a note, “Try to suppress that trending topic with Lemon and Noah. Fenon International wants traffic, but let’s give them another angle.”

Sammy wrote, “What happened?”

Wendy glanced at Chase, expressionless. Two men had a stress reaction.

Sammy replied, “I figured Mr. Fred would. His baby sister can’t be snatched away by some rookie like Noah. Who’s the other guy?”

Wendy wrote, “Lemon’s neighbor–slash–stepbrother Chase.”

Sammy wrote, “…”

The neighbor–stepbrother not only looked into Noah, he even investigated his entire team. When he couldn’t find much, he asked Bernard to help.

Bernard wrote, “What, you into boy bands now?”

Chase said, “Just help me dig.”

Bernard was completely confused but still did the background check for Chase. Only Bernard wasn’t as fast as Sammy, so by the time Chase was heading to bed, the information still hadn’t come through.

“Should’ve asked Sammy from the start. Stick to what you’re good at. Bernard’s not cut out for this,” Chase muttered, lying in bed with Wendy.

Wendy pinched his waist. “Seriously, even Waylon didn’t go this far. You really care that much al Lemon? I’m getting jealous over here.”

She was clearly joking. Chase knew she wouldn’t actually get jealous over Lemon, so he didn’t take it to heart. He just said, “Waylon’s always busy with his task force. He doesn’t pay enough attention to Lemon. All he does is call and yell when something happens. I’ve got to look into it properly.”

Wendy rested against his chest with a sigh. “I honestly didn’t think you’d get this worked up. I already told you–it’s just publicity. They probably didn’t even stay in the same room.”

The way these setups worked, another room would have been booked in advance. The two of them would go up together but not enter the same suite.

High–end hotels were extremely private–no way paparazzi could sneak in–so they had to wait outside for any sign.

If they saw two people entering or leaving together, they’d jump to the “spent the night together” narrative. It wasn’t even based on solid proof.

“People really do that?” Chase sounded genuinely surprised.

Considering Cloud Hospital was going public next year, and the whole process would require some commercial tactics, he might have to get used to this kind of thing too.
