The CEO’s Regret My Ex-Wife is a Tech Goddess novel Chapter 217

The air in the terrace thickened with tension.

Alaina let out a faint, dismissive chuckle, unwilling to waste her breath on the woman, and turned to leave.

Refusing to let her escape, Nina aggressively blocked her path and hissed, "You better savor this pathetic little fantasy while it lasts. Silas is lightyears out of your league."

Having delivered her threat, she straightened her spine and resumed her elegant poise, though the glacial venom remained in her eyes.

Alaina stood in silence for two seconds, not a hint of panic in her crystal-clear eyes. Meeting Nina's provocative glare head-on, she said softly, "So what you're trying to say is that you're the one and only woman worthy of Silas."

Nina let her silence speak for her, arrogance practically radiating from her gaze.

Alaina scoffed. "Just because you're the Sinclair heiress and have known him for a few years?"

Nina was momentarily taken aback.

Unhurried, Alaina continued, "If you were actually worthy of a man like Silas, you wouldn't be standing around waiting for his attention, and you certainly wouldn't have dragged me into a dark corner to throw petty, underhanded insults at me."

Nina's face drained of color. It took her a full moment before she gnashed her teeth and fired back, "What the hell are you talking about? Silas and I grew up together! Who are you to judge the bond between us?"

"You and I..." a booming, authoritative voice suddenly echoed through the terrace. "Have absolutely no bond to speak of."

Alaina spun around and saw Silas standing in the open doorway. Dressed in a sharply tailored dark suit, his sheer presence suffocated the room, and a lethal, unprecedented frost raged in his eyes.

He locked eyes with Nina, offering no mercy.

The last drop of color vanished from Nina's face. She stared at him in horror, her voice trembling, "Silas... I..."

Silas completely ignored her, his gaze already shifting to Alaina as the lethal chill dissipated. "Mrs. Summers, let's go."
