Ex Wife's Collapse After Divorce novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

The entire marketing department fell dead silent.

Everyone stared at Ethan as if they had just seen a madman walk into the office and sit on the CEO’s

chair

It was not as if they had never seen a relationship hire before. In a company like Stellaris, people with backing appeared all the time. But someone as blatant as Ethan was something else entirely.

Nathan’s mouth actually fell open. For a solid three seconds, he just stood there, staring.

Then he recovered.

“Deputy Manager, Nathan spat the title like it was poison. “You’re a deputy manager. What authority do you have to fire me in front of Manager Marsh and all our colleagues?”

Ethan let out a cold laugh.

The right?” he said lightly. “Because Stellaris is mine.

The words hit the floor like a bomb. A wave of gasps burst through the office. Even Yvonne’s face changed.

For a second, nobody moved. Then the whispers started again, low and frantic.

Everyone was thinking the same thing. Ethan meant he could leverage his special relationship with Aurora. That was the only explanation. He was Aurora’s kept man, and he thought that gave him power.

Nathan’s shock melted into a sneer.

“I really didn’t think you’d be this shameless,” he said, shaking his head. “And this stupid. Even if you are Aurora’s boy toy-and everyone knows you are-a boy toy is still just a boy toy. Aurora would never let you pull this kind of stunt.”

Ethan did not even blink.

You can think whatever you want about my relationship with Aurora,” he said lightly. “It changes nothing. You’re still getting fired today.”

His tone was too certain. Too calm. The room began to shift.

What if Aurora truly doted on Ethan to such an extent? What if Ethan wasn’t actually bluffing?

Ethan did not waste another second on Nathan. He turned to Yvonne.

“You still haven’t answered my question,” he said. “Why did you insist on keeping Nathan and Caleb?”

All eyes landed on Yvonne.

Yvonne swallowed before speaking. “Nathan is a senior employee. He has been here for years, and he

has delivered results before.”

Caleb immediately jumped in, eager to strengthen the point.

That’s night! Nathan is valuable. There are plenty of companies outside trying to poach him. Some are even willing to offer him a much higher salary

Ethan looked at him. For example?”

Caleb brightened at once, as if he had finally found his stage.

Lockwood Industries,” he said quickly. They offered Nathan a fifty percent raise.”

A wave of shocked murmurs rose around the office.

“Fifty percent?”

Seriously?

Lockwood actually wants him that badly?”

Even Ethan paused for half a second. He really didn’t expect things to be such a coincidence. His ex-wife was actually trying to poach Nathan? This world keeps getting better.
