Betrayed? I Upgraded to His Billionaire Brother novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262

If I was treating Mrs. Sinclair, the Windsors wouldn’t dare touch me now without openly making an enemy of the Sinclairs. And by the time I’d cared Mrs. Sinclair, the drug would likely be on the market. Even without the Sinclairs‘ support then, the Windsors would have to hack down completely.

Chloe also instantly understood the source of my current hesitation. She poked my forehead.

“What are you overthinking now? I’m happy your skills have reached this level, and I’m happy you’ve connected with the Sinclairs, Babe, if you think it’s the right thing to do, go for it. I want you to soar, not be the one holding you back.”

Hearing that, I swatted her poking hand away, fighting back a sudden wave of emotion. “Do you have to be so sappy? Crying first thing in the morning is bad luck.”

“Okay, okay,” Chloe said, trying to lighten the mood by deliberately bringing up a sore subject. “So… last night. You didn’t come home. Did Mr. Windsor get his mojo back?”

My arms, already sore, almost dropped my glass.

I glanced at the time and smiled, cutting her off. ” it’s almost nine.”

“Almost nine?!” She jolted, shoveled the rest of her breakfast down, and ran to the sofa to stuff her documents into her bag. “I’m out of here!”

“Drive safe! If you lose your job, I’ll support you!” I called after her.

Once the door shut, I turned my attention back to my ringing phone. A faint, cold smile touched my lips. I hit ‘decline‘ again. I seemed determined to infuriate the person on the other end into an early grave.
