Chapter 103

Yesterday afternoon, as soon as the news of Ethan’s partnership with Marcus broke, people began to wonder why Chloe hadn’t been the one accompanying him.

In these high-society circles, it was standard for men to handle business while the women handled the socializing. Usually, the woman by a CEO’s side was family or a fiancée.

Chloe was already fuming over those comments. Now that this new headline had exploded, she let all her

resentment pour out.

Mia pinched the bridge of her nose. It was just one thing after another. “I’ll contact Mrs. Ford first.”

After hanging up, Mia took a moment to compose herself before dialing Evelyn’s number.

Evelyn picked up quickly. “Ms. Carter?” Her tone sounded surprised.

‘Mrs. Ford, I’m sorry to bother you,” Mia said apologetically. “That joke you made during the interview has caused quite a stir. Have you seen the news?”

‘Oh,” Evelyn let out a casual sound. “I saw it. Why? Did your boss send you to track me down over it?”

Of course not. More than public opinion, Mr. Hale is concerned that you might have a misunderstanding regarding Ms. Bennett. Since he loves her, she clearly has her strengths. If you have the chance to meet her, I’m sure you’ll see how wonderful she is.”

While the Sunbrook project wasn’t the largest deal for Bayview, Ethan had traveled a long way to secure it ›ersonally. Given how much Marcus doted on his wife, asking Evelyn to issue a formal public retraction would be ike asking her to slap her own face. Marcus wouldn’t be happy. Besides, making a mountain out of a molehill would make Bayview look petty.

Mia was tactfully suggesting that if Evelyn wanted to maintain a good relationship, she should find an >pportunity to smooth things over. That way, the matter would be settled. If Evelyn refused to play along, forcing he issue would only sour the partnership.

Giggle.” Evelyn suddenly burst into soft, bright laughter. “Mia, I really like you. Fine then. I’ll make a trip to Northbrook in a few days.”

Mia hadn’t expected her to actually come to the city.

Traveling all that way to meet Chloe would be the most sincere gesture possible to crush the rumors. It was essentially Evelyn bowing her head to Chloe as a favor to Ethan.

Then we look forward to your arrival, Mrs. Ford.”

Mia realized that while Evelyn was spoiled by Marcus, she wasn’t a bad person at heart.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Bayview Holdings.

Ethan stared at his phone screen. It displayed a message Jaxon had sent him yesterday: “Ethan, don’t get too arrogant. The real show is just beginning!*

It certainly was a “good show.”

He set his phone down, his long fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk.

‘Since that news broke, Chloe hasn’t stopped crying. You better think of something fast!” Miranda was pacing the room, frantic with worry. “Where is Mia? Get her in here right now. I’m going to discipline her myself today!”

Ethan’s expression was grim. He stopped tapping. “Go to the Bennetts’ and check on Chloe. I’ll handle the news.”

‘You aren’t going?” Miranda frowned. “Sandra said she hasn’t even eaten breakfast. She’s been waiting for you.”
