His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230

‘At worst, I’ll just take us both down.”

The call disconnected.

The temperature in Asteria was higher than in Northbrook, and the already sweltering climate felt even more suffocating to Chloe after that phone call. Irritation bubbled up in her chest.

The only thing that brought her any comfort was the fact that the news about Mia and Jaxon had finally broken.

Now, the Rivers family would certainly take notice of Mia. Mia’s plan to “secure her position through a child” was destined for failure!

Mia hadn’t expected this kind of news to explode so suddenly.

axon sent her a message almost immediately: [Dammit, someone’s trying to set me up! Once I find out who has he balls to do this, I’m going to kill them!]

The partnership between Bayview and Riverside wasn’t good news for others in the business world. When two ;iants joined forces, everyone else was left to scavenge for scraps.

But whoever used such underhanded tactics to sabotage the cooperation was clearly more brawn than brains. It wouldn’t break the foundations of Bayview or Riverside; it would only invite a counterattack that the culprit

wouldn’t be able to survive.

Mia sifted through all the possible enemies in the business circle but couldn’t figure out who would be so reckless.

But right now, she had bigger problems.

Three hours after the news broke, the Rivers family came knocking.

The reports claimed that Jaxon and Mia had been involved for a long time, using the project as a cover for their rysts. They even dug up the “ironclad evidence” of Mia’s repeated attempts to resign, claiming she was trying to orce her way into the elite family. They said Jaxon was keeping her at the company because he hadn’t yet convinced his family to accept a woman of her background.

f Mia weren’t the one involved, she would have believed the lies herself; they were incredibly detailed.

It was expected that Mrs. Rivers would believe it and show up.

Speak. How much will it take for you to leave my son?”

But Mrs. Rivers’ opening line was not what Mia had expected.

As it turned out, all wealthy socialite mothers were the same. Just like Miranda Hale, Mrs. Rivers chose to use money to solve the problem.

‘Mrs. Rivers, the rumors online are false. Someone is intentionally sabotaging the partnership between Bayview and Riverside. This is a matter of corporate warfare,” Mia explained, her voice raspy but calm.

Mrs. Rivers pulled a check from her bag and wrote out an amount: two million dollars.

I don’t have the patience to investigate the evidence. Take the money and be smart. Keep your distance from my

son from now on.”

Two million was a drop in the bucket for the Rivers family.

axon and his team could handle the corporate war, while Mrs. Rivers handled Mia with a check. It was the most fficient way to operate on both fronts.

Mia pushed the check back toward Mrs. Rivers. “I’m sorry, but I can’t accept this. Taking the money would be the ame as admitting that my relationship with Mr. Rivers is inappropriate.”

f she took the money, Mrs. Rivers would be at peace, but Mia’s own conscience wouldn’t be.

Mrs. Rivers looked at her in surprise.

Even if Mia and Jaxon had nothing going on, she wouldn’t lose anything by taking the two million. She never xpected Mia to refuse.
