Chapter 370

Make sure Ian Reed never shows his face in the business world again.”

He was on a call. Was he talking to Leo Martinez?

Mia reached out, grabbing his arm as she tried to snatch the phone away.

Ethan lifted his arm high, and no matter how much she stood on her tiptoes, she couldn’t reach it.

Why are you protecting an irresponsible man? Mia, don’t you hate being abandoned the most?”

Mia had never said it out loud, but she did hate being abandoned. Because the children in the orphanage were all liscarded souls.

And she was one of them!

Mia’s fingernails dug into the flesh of his wrist, leaving a stark, red mark. She bit her lower lip hard, but she still wouldn’t confess that the child didn’t belong to Ian.

Ethan was a man of extreme principles; he couldn’t stand even a grain of sand in his eye. He hadn’t even been able o tolerate his childhood sweetheart, Chloe Bennett, when she messed up before their wedding.

How could he possibly tolerate a lie from a subordinate like Mia? Even if it wasn’t a business matter, he wouldn’t et it slide.

Why have you gone quiet?”

Ethan’s thin lips parted. His eyes were smoldering with rage, and biting words began to pour out.

When you were Mrs. Hale, didn’t you insist on protection every single time?”

She wouldn’t even have a legal child with him, yet she was so eager to have one with another man? The thought of Mia being intimate with someone else, showing that seductive side of her to please another man…

Mia was flushed with shame and anger.

I just didn’t want to have your child! Because you aren’t a good person! You aren’t gentle, you aren’t considerate, and you walk around with a cold face all day like everyone owes you millions!”

Ethan’s gaze turned razor-sharp. Under his suppressed fury, the veins on his forehead began to bulge.

Besides, your heart was already full of another woman. Were you even a decent husband? When we were legally narried, you never gave me any special treatment. When your mother gave me a hard time, you acted like you were blind. Now that we’re divorced, why are you pretending to back me up?”

After living under the same roof for two years, Ethan had never realized she harbored so much resentment.

The sudden barrage of accusations left him silent.

Mia finished her outburst in one breath. As clarity returned, a cold chill settled in her heart.

Ethan gripped his phone tighter, accidentally hitting the side button. The screen lit up, showing only the lock.

screen.

He wasn’t on a call.

Mia froze. She slowly lowered herself from her tiptoes, her grip on his arm loosening.

She smoothed back her messy hair and took a shaky breath. “I’m sorry, Mr. Hale. I lost my composure. I appreciate your concern, but I will handle my own affairs. I hope you won’t involve Ian Reed in this. Is that understood?”

Until Ethan gave her his word, she couldn’t rest easy.

Ethan’s jawline was tight and tense. His eyes were as deep and dark as an ancient well, hiding a turbulent storm.

‘Of course.”

Mia’s heart finally settled back into her chest.
