Chapter 251

Mia Carter remained silent.

She had never dealt with a situation like this before, so she didn’t know what to say.

“Just you wait. I’m going to make him talk,” Nina Torres said, her interest in Cole Preston growing by the second.

Ethan hadn’t even decided on Mia’s destination yet, so how had the news already reached Cole?

Cole: [I’ve heard she’s quite capable. I suggest you keep her, or you’ll regret it later.]

Ethan… has the company crisis been resolved?” Chloe bit her lip, her face filled with guilt.

Ethan let out a short, sharp “Mhm.”
