His Secret Baby: Six Months After Divorce (Mia and Ethan) novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338

Mia Carter, you’re nothing but Ethan Hale’s dog-”

‘Colin, I am asking you to leave. If you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll call security.”

The moment Mia said that, the Head of Security lowered his head, staring intently at the table.

Winston let out a cold laugh. “Ms. Carter, you certainly have a lot of nerve. You’ve brought such a massive scandal upon this company, and yet you won’t let anyone interfere? Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because Mr. Hale protects you. Mr. Henderson specifically sent Colin here to keep an eye on things!”

‘Has Bayview changed its name to Henderson?” Mia retorted. “If Colin was really sent by Director Henderson, then the Director is bypassing Mr. Hale’s authority. Let me call Mr. Hale and ask him about it.”

Mia reached for her phone as if to dial.

Even though Colin was the son of a director and had some influence in business circles, the relationship between Ethan Hale and the senior Mr. Henderson was currently like fire and water.

Mia couldn’t give the Henderson family an inch. Giving in to them would be a disgrace to Ethan.

Stop using Ethan to pressure me!”

Colin stood up abruptly. “Even if he were sitting right here, he wouldn’t kick me out!”

Ethan actually wouldn’t, Mia thought. But he would definitely let her kick the guy out and then give her a silent humbs-up behind his back. After being with Ethan for so long, she knew that much about him.

You misunderstand, Colin. I am politely asking you to leave. If you won’t go, I’ll have to find another way to make

rou.”

Mia tilted her head slightly. “Time is short. Have some self-respect.”

Colin had arrived with aggressive intentions, clearly planning to drag Mia down today. But in an instant, his entire plan had been dismantled by Mia’s opening move. It was à disaster from the start.

He slammed his hand down and stormed out.

Winston followed him to the door, receiving a barrage of instructions before the younger man left in a huff.

When the conference room door closed, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Winston took the seat to Mia’s right.

He was the first to attack.

‘Ms. Carter, you’ve caused a PR nightmare for this company right after taking office. Don’t you plan on giving us an explanation?”

Mia remained silent. Her expression was calm as her gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone in the room.

For some reason, wherever her eyes landed, the executives found themselves unable to maintain eye contact, instinctively looking down.

“Don’t stop, Winston. Keep talking.”

She glanced at him. “Say everything you want to say-every accusation, every point. I’ll answer them all at once.”

Caught off guard by her attitude, Winston was momentarily speechless. “You-”

Before he could continue, Mia’s phone chimed with a notification.

It was a message from Ethan on WhatsApp.

Ethan: [You didn’t check in yesterday.]

Yesterday had been more exhausting than a full day of work. She had tossed and turned all night and had completely forgotten to let him know she was safe.

Mia’s fingers flew across the screen, quickly typing two words.

Mia: [Safe.]

Ms. Carter, what kind of attitude is this? We’re talking about serious matters, and you’re playing on your phone.”

Winston seized the opportunity to criticize her.

Mia set her phone down. “And what kind of attitude is “that”? Someone who didn’t know better might think you were my boss.”

I know you’re the superior here, but this branch was just established and it’s unstable. It’s hard to say if any of us vill even keep our jobs. You caused trouble that made the headquarters unhappy. If the Board wants to settle the core, won’t it be us subordinates who take the fall for you? Don’t you owe us an explanation?”

Winston was eloquent. His words had been carefully polished by several people to ensure they were airtight, eaving Mia no room to turn the situation around.
