A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy's Woman novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Silas grunted lightly, picked his clothes up from the floor, and strode out of the room without hesitation.

Bethany lowered her gaze and hung her head. This was exactly why she couldn’t get too smug when things went her way. After two days of smooth sailing, trouble immediately found her.

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

Last night, the door was supposedly locked. If that was true, how could Silas have left this quickly a minute ago?

More to the point, how could he say that he wasn’t trying to do something to her?

After they returned to the country, Bethany and Silas gave each other the silent treatment.

Meanwhile, Jane lay low in the kitchen, observing their every move. Concern etched across her face as she texted Jeremy about what she saw.

“Mr. Brennan Senior, Mr. and Mrs. Brennan are giving each other the cold shoulder. He didn’t bring her to work, and she shut herself in the room the moment she came home.”

Didn’t they go away for a wedding photoshoot? So, why were they still at odds with each other?

Noah and Ella were also done with their wedding photoshoot. Yet, as she went through the pictures, she noticed that he didn’t look excited in a single one.

And after they returned to the country, Noah didn’t bother to call her for several days either.

When asked, he merely said he was busy. In truth, he was racking his brain, trying to think of a way to meet Bethany again. Meanwhile, Easton had a contract in his hand as he stood in front of Bethany. “Ms. Porter, Vazquez Group also offered us a collaboration. Will you be joining the business dinner with them tonight?”

Bethany cast an indifferent glance at the contract, knowing full well that Noah was targeting her again. If she refused to join the dinner, he might stir up more trouble.

It was Friday, too, the day the Brennan family usually gathered for a meal. Thus, she sent Silas a text.

“I have a business dinner tonight. I can’t visit Jeremy.”

When Silas received her text but didn’t reply, she assumed he was fine with it.

At night, Easton and Bethany showed up at the restaurant together. As expected, Noah took the main seat in the private room, Easton took a step forward. He was mildly surprised that Noah would show up for such a small collaboration.

“Mr. Vazquez, your reputation precedes you.”

Noah wore an aloof expression. When his gaze swept past Bethany, he subtly raised his eyebrow.

“Mr. Clay, please take your seat.”

Easton arranged for two employees to tag along. They were heavy drinkers, and that was the main reason Bethany agreed to come tonight.

She tried her best to keep a low profile, but it was no use. After all, a lot of people working at Vazquez Group recognized her

and knew she used to be Noah’s assistant.

One of them lifted his glass. “Ms. Porter, color me surprised. You used to work as an assistant in Vazquez Group, and now, you’ve become a director.”

Bethany raised her glass of juice and smiled faintly. “Yeah. I was just lucky.”

Noah tapped the table with his finger. “Ms. Porter, do you consider yourself above us? Mr. Holland here is trying to drink with you.”

At that moment, everyone immediately understood that Noah had it out for Bethany.

As she lowered her glass, Easton quickly chuckled and tried to defuse the tension.

“Ms. Porter isn’t feeling well tonight. How about I drink in her stead?”

George wasn’t really bothered, but Noah had put him on the spot. So, he didn’t exactly have a choice either.

Noah said cockily, “Mr. Clay, you can’t just drink on her behalf. We’re talking about a collaboration here, and she has to show how serious she is by drinking with us.”

In fact, Bethany was fine with it.

Noah wanted to see her give in, but she casually held the glass and emptied its contents in one gulp.
