He pulled his gaze away from Mia and shot Miranda a sharp, warning look. “She’s mine. Whether she stays or goes is my call and mine alone.”

Since Ethan took over eight years ago, Bayview had skyrocketed. He’d smashed every record and pushed the company to insane new heights.

Even if you ignored the fact that he was the Hale heir, the board of directors was still terrified of him. The man

was a shark.

Even with “ironclad evidence” staring them in the face, Ethan chose to keep digging. And in that room, no one lared to breathe a word of protest.

Ethan’s move was a total slap in the face. Doing it in front of the entire board? That was cold.

t stung way more than the blow Miranda had tried to land on Mia. This was public humiliation, plain and simple.

Ethan turned and walked out of the conference room without another word. Leo was right on his heels. Mr. Gonzalez and his team scrambled to follow, leaving the room in a hurry.

Sorry you all had to see that,” Miranda said, her voice tight as she tried to save face. “Ethan has always been a

tickler for evidence.”

She gritted her teeth, forcing a smile for the directors. “Fine. Let him investigate. I’m sure he’ll provide a

atisfactory explanation to the board and the Bennett family.”

The directors weren’t stupid. They had no intention of getting caught in the crossfire of a Hale family feud. They nuttered a few polite goodbyes and cleared out as fast as they could.

The second the room cleared, Miranda lost it. Her eyes locked onto Mia, burning with pure rage.

Don’t you dare blame me, Mia! You’re the one who keeps coming between Ethan and Chloe. I’ve told you a housand times you are never, ever becoming a Hale!”

Mia’s eyes were cold and indifferent. “Don’t worry,” she said. “The Hale family? I’m not interested in entering your world.”

Her voice was firm, her face a mask of pure steel.

Miranda choked on her words. She hadn’t expected this kind of pushback.

‘If you had just handed me a check for $300,000 to walk away, I would’ve let you slap me twice and thanked you for it. But you played dirty. You tried to frame me. Now? I’m not going anywhere until I clear my name.”

Mia grabbed her bag and coat. She brushed past Miranda without a second glance.

Miranda was shaking with rage. “Fine! Look at you! The mask is finally slipping. And here I thought you were

some innocent little saint…”

Her voice faded into the distance. Mia didn’t even look back.

It wasn’t about the job anymore.

Her entire career was on the line. If she let this slide, she’d be blacklisted from every firm in the city.

She could quit, sure. But not like this. Not as a scapegoat.

The news had already spread like wildfire. Every eye in the office was on her as she walked toward the exit.

From his seat, Ethan watched her through the glass. Even now, waiting for the elevator, her back was perfectly straight. She refused to break.

“Ethan, I don’t think Mia did it,” Leo said, breaking the silence.
