157.Chapter 157

“Mr. Foster, you brought Ms. Weston to the auction tonight; are you two about to make it official? Rumor has it that the 15-million-dollar ruby bracelet was snapped up by a mystery VIP. Was that you, Mr. Foster?”

Stella looked nervous; every single question was exactly what she’d been dying to ask tonight.

Easton’s expression turned icy, his anger growing by the second. Just then, Gordon stepped in, cutting off the reporters before they could ask another question.

“Sorry, Mr. Foster isn’t doing any interviews tonight. Please make way,” Gordon said.

Gordon and the agent shielded Easton and Stella as they made their way out of the auction hall.

Once they got to the parking lot, Stella pretended to be sorry. “Easton, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know there’d be so many reporters tonight. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come and bothered you.”

Easton replied coolly, his expression flat. “Don’t worry about it. It’s late. I’ll have Gordon drive you home.” “What about you?” she asked.

Easton took out his phone and called his butler, asking him to send a car over from Windmere Estate. Stella couldn’t hide her disappointment. It had been ages since she’d had a moment alone with Easton, and she’d hoped tonight would finally be her chance. But he still turned her down.

Stella watched Easton’s back as he walked away, her fingers curling unconsciously at her sides.

Meanwhile, at Crestview Group, May came by Crestview Group for a meeting and brought breakfast for Sophia.

“Guess what, Sophia. I got your favorite breakfast,” May announced, popping into Sophia’s office with two breakfast bags swinging from her hands.

Sophia looked up to see May grinning at her, breakfast in tow. She smiled. “Thanks, May.”

They chatted over breakfast, and it was clear neither of them wanted to talk about Easton blowing up online.

“Any news from the private investigator?” May suddenly asked.

Sophia shook her head. “Nope. Chloe seems to have vanished into thin air. No matter how hard we look, she’s nowhere to be found.”

“Do you think she could’ve skipped town?” May asked.

Sophia set her breakfast down. “It’s possible. If she really did, finding her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“The PI says she’s got no family, no friends, and barely spoke to anyone at the nursing home. The whole thing is just off.”

“Yeah, Chloe is definitely shady. Jenston’s huge, and with so many places she could’ve gone in the whole country, even with a Pl, tracking her down is next to impossible,” May said.

Sophia knew it was a long shot, but she refused to give up. Chloe was just too suspicious to let go.

She was still convinced Irene’s fall wasn’t just some freak accident.

It had to be someone’s fault. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t find a shred of evidence. Now, she couldn’t even find the person she suspected.

“Do you think we should ask that guy for help?” May suggested out of the blue.

Sophia nodded. “Alright, I’ll ask him about it later.”

At Foster Group, Easton’s face turned grim as he scrolled through the trending news on his tablet. He picked up the landline and dialed the company extension. “Gordon Lowell, get in here.”

Gordon felt a chill when Easton called him by his full name, never a good sign. He stepped into the CEO’S office, clearly on edge.

“Mr. Foster, did you need something?” Gordon asked.

Easton slammed the tablet down on the desk. “I don’t want to see these kinds of rumors trending again.”

Gordon picked up the tablet, his back drenched in sweat. Sure enough, it was more rumors about Easton and

Stella.

“Got it. I’ll get someone on it right away,” Gordon said.

Just as Gordon was about to leave, Easton snapped, “Get those media accounts shut down.”
