Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 770

The secretary kept her mouth firmly shut.

Chloe paced furiously around her office, her stilettos crunching violently over the broken glass scattered across the floor.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Both the office lines and her personal cell phone refused to stop buzzing.

An endless stream of furious callers demanding answers.

"Damn it!"

Chloe grabbed her desk phone and hurled it against the wall.

Emilia!

This was all Emilia's fault!

If Emilia hadn't shoved her way into this project, Chloe wouldn't have ordered her people to spread the fake news in the first place!

And she wouldn't be dealing with this catastrophic fallout!

Her secretary stood frozen in the corner, waiting until Chloe had finished physically destroying the room before cautiously speaking up. "Miss Erickson, how should we handle this?"

"And regarding Emilia... we..."

The secretary trailed off, but her implication was crystal clear.

"She just got incredibly lucky!" Chloe shrieked, her voice cracking with fury. "She had absolutely no idea Elias wasn't leaving! She blindly threw her money in with Christian, and it just so happened that Elias stayed!"

Yes. That had to be it.

The more Chloe thought about it, the more convinced she became.

Why else would Emilia have aggressively pumped millions into gold and copper? She obviously thought her tech investment was dead and was desperately trying to gamble her way out of the hole!

Even Emilia thought she had lost. That utterly defeated look on her face at the airport wasn't an act.

This was pure, unadulterated luck.

It had absolutely nothing to do with Emilia's actual business acumen!

"Besides, so what if the engineer stayed? It's just a measly ten-million-dollar order. It means nothing," Chloe said, gritting her teeth. "The Erickson Group handles massive projects every single day."

The secretary, terrified of setting her off again, immediately nodded in fervent agreement. "Exactly! It's barely a drop in the bucket. Only a tiny startup like Epoch would treat that like a big deal."

Hearing that finally soothed some of the burning rage in Chloe's chest.
