His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236

Oh, Chloe said, nodding. “I saw it.”

Does that news have anything to do with you?” Sandra asked.

Chloe’s mind raced. Looking at Miranda’s attitude, did the news cause trouble for the Hales? That shouldn’t be ight. It was only supposed to cause trouble for Mia. Jaxon would be fine.

Miranda, look at her. She clearly has no idea. It couldn’t have been her.” Sandra forced a smile, trying to cover it ip. “Why would she ever hurt the Hales? Why would she hurt Ethan?”

The word “hurt” made Chloe fall silent. Guilt flickered across her face. What exactly had happened?

Both of you, get out. I need to go to the office.”

Miranda needed to ask Ethan if this really was linked to the Bennett family.

The driver immediately opened the door. “Mrs. Bennett, Ms. Bennett, please.”

He took Chloe’s luggage out of the car. Sandra led Chloe out. Before the door closed, she smiled at Miranda.

Drive safe. Don’t let this get to you. I’m sure it’s just a misunderstanding…”

The board isn’t the real problem. The problem is that this will be a permanent stain on Ethan’s career. And Miranda’s biggest taboo is anyone standing in Ethan’s way!”

Chloe was so terrified she barely dared to breathe. Sandra called the family driver to come get them.

While waiting, she asked again, “Why did you even leak that story?”

‘I…” Chloe whispered. “I suspected Mia was carrying Jaxon’s child. I thought she was trying to secure her position hrough a child. I wanted to make a scene so the Rivers family would deal with her. I wanted to crush her dreams.”

‘Mia, Mia, it’s always Mia!” Sandra’s head throbbed with rage. “As long as the child isn’t Ethan’s, why do you care? You and Ethan are getting married. You’re childhood sweethearts with a deep bond. Do you really think one Mia Carter can change that?”

‘Yes! Chloe screamed it in her head.

But she couldn’t say it aloud. She could only plead, “Mom, things between Ethan and me… it’s not as simple as you
