The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 170

York leaned back, a lazy smirk pulling at his lips.

"Mom, these days, a divorced man is about as valuable as yesterday's trash."

Seraphina was speechless.

What kind of absolute nonsense was he talking about?!

"Can you give me a straight answer? York, I am asking you very seriously. What exactly are your intentions?"

"I trust her, so please, just go home."

"I know what you're worried about, but I got to where I am today based on my own merits."

"If I let some online gossip derail my career, I might as well retire earlier than Dad."

Seraphina found herself smoothly dismissed in just a few sentences and drove home in a deeply foul mood.

After his mother left, York scrolled through the chaotic gossip on social media, his irritation spiking with every post he read.

He immediately called Caleb.

"Find a way to nuke a few of these social media accounts for me."

Caleb, who had been taking a drink of water, nearly choked to death.

"Boss, what exactly is your endgame here?"

"I don't like looking at them."

"These accounts don't know their place."

Caleb was speechless.

Fine.

After hanging up, York opened Madeline's messages on his phone.

She hadn't replied to him in two days. Without a second thought, he immediately dialed her number.

Madeline, who was in the middle of a meeting, saw the caller ID and instantly hit decline.

But the man seemed hell-bent on testing her patience, calling back five times in a row.

The entire conference room was staring at Madeline.

Her assistant spoke up, "Director Monroe, is it an emergency?"

Madeline felt terribly embarrassed.

"You guys keep discussing. I need to step out and take this."

Knowing York's vicious temper, if she didn't answer, he would absolutely keep calling until the phone died.

Madeline walked to a quiet corner of the hallway.

"York, this had better be an absolute emergency."

"What, did I interrupt you in the middle of a hot date, and now you're lashing out in embarrassment?"

Madeline had zero patience for his nonsense.

"If you don't have a point, get ready to join my blocked list."
