The partnership between Ethan Hale and Marcus Ford was hanging by a thread.

Mia Carter wasn’t worried about whether they would eventually close the deal, but as long as this scandal kept fermenting, she wouldn’t be able to clear her name.

She carefully scanned the news reports, catching the phrase “according to insider sources.” This was enough to prove that someone within Bayview had leaked the information.

She closed the news page, opened Jaxon Rivers’ WhatsApp, and began typing.

Was this your doing?]

axon replied almost instantly: [Who told him to steal my project!]

axon only knew these kinds of underhanded tactics to create trouble for Ethan. He hadn’t considered that it would ripple back onto Mia.

Mia didn’t bother replying. The news had already spread; even if she begged Jaxon, it wouldn’t be suppressed now.

But she hadn’t expected Jaxon to have even more shameless moves up his sleeve.

He hired internet trolls to post comparisons of Chloe Bennett’s photos from childhood to adulthood across various platforms.

Chloe was reasonably pretty, but she had always relied on expensive clothes and her “refined” aura. The trolls :laimed that if you looked at Chloe’s features individually, she wasn’t just “not to Mrs. Ford’s taste”-she was Ictually hideous!

The trolls used the narrative of Chloe being “ugly” to conclude that Ethan’s taste was abysmal, trying to make him a aughingstock for choosing such a bride.

axon was aiming for Ethan, hoping to smear his reputation.

However, the netizens didn’t buy it. They didn’t follow the direction the trolls were leading. Instead, they began aving about how handsome Ethan was. They looked up his professional bio and started treating this business ycoon like a pop idol.

Whenever she found a moment of peace at work, Mia checked the direction of the rumors.

By noon, the news was finally suppressed.

The internet went quiet. Searching for Chloe Bennett no longer brought up those nasty keywords. It was as if it had never happened.

Just as Mia was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Evelyn Ford sent her a message.

[The public’s eyes are sharp. Chloe Bennett ‘is’ ugly. I’m not the type of person who can lie about these things.]

Mia: “…

She had no idea how to respond to that, so she changed the subject.

[Mrs. Ford, when are you heading back to Sunbrook?]

Evelyn: [This city is boring. I’m leaving tomorrow.]

Mia invited Evelyn to dinner tonight, and Evelyn agreed.

At 7:00 PM, the city lights were flickering on, and the night breeze was slightly chilly.

In the parking lot, the Maybach slowly pulled out of the garage.

Mr. Hale, you should really transfer Ms. Carter back. You’re focusing all your energy on the partnership with the Bennetts, and I can’t keep track of these other major projects on my own.”

Leo Martinez looked exhausted. He was at his breaking point.

Ethan sat with his legs crossed. The person who had been drifting through his mind all day was suddenly nentioned. His brow furrowed instinctively. As he looked out the window, a figure abruptly entered his line of ight.

Mia was wearing a black wool coat with a bag slung over her arm. Her hands were tucked into her pockets as she tood by the curb, waiting for a taxi.

f he hadn’t been so familiar with her face, he might not have recognized her in that outfit. The loose, casual lothing made her look less thin, though she was still tall and slender. Under the brim of her black hat, her small, heart-shaped face looked fair and delicate.

At first glance, she looked like a college student.
