That question immediately stumped Mia.
Right, how were they supposed to test him?
Christian spoke up calmly. "I have a plan."
"If even the kindergarten has heard the rumors, they must be all over the company. We can go to Evernight Tower to find Daddy and see how he reacts to all the gossip."
Mia’s eyes lit up. "That’s a great idea!"
"But wherever there’s gossip, there are bound to be nasty words, Zachery, Mia."
Christian looked at them and said seriously, "You two shouldn’t go. Let me disguise myself as Zachery and go instead. Even if they say mean things, you won’t have to hear it."
Zachery was so touched he could have cried. ’The young master is such a good person!’ But he wasn’t fragile; he could handle it—
But then Mia nodded. "Young Master, I’ll go with you. Let’s leave the little dummy Zachery out of it."
Christian thought for a moment before humming in agreement. "Alright. Mia is smart. With you there, we might be able to uncover something else. If anyone bullies you, I’ll definitely protect you."
Mia sealed the deal. "Then let’s go secretly this afternoon!"
Christian: "Okay."
Zachery: "..."
Zachery: "?"
’Mia gets to go because she’s smart, so why can’t I? Because I’m a little dummy?!’
...
「Afternoon.」
When Nathaniel Sloan heard the rumors, his expression darkened. "Who started them?"
The pressure in the office dropped. The assistant braced himself and said, "It’s all over the place, and there’s a lot of news online... Since it involves a big star like Miss Noelle, her fans are very agitated."
Nathaniel Sloan’s eyes turned icy. "The PR department didn’t handle this the moment it broke?"
The assistant was too scared to speak. Luke White stepped forward. "Sir, the PR department did handle it, but public opinion flared up again. When they were preparing to deal with it a second time, they received a call from Chairman Sloan."
Ethan Sloan had stopped them—
In other words, the fact that everyone in the company now knew Zachery and Mia were "baggage," the "children of some other man," was largely because his own father had tacitly allowed it.
Nathaniel Sloan calmly lifted his gaze. "Get the head of the PR department in here."
The head of the PR department had just received benefits from Ethan Sloan that morning and was feeling quite pleased with himself. Now, hearing that Nathaniel Sloan wanted to see him, he didn’t think it was a big deal.
However, the moment he stepped into the office, he heard a cold command, "Luke, process his resignation. Transfer his file to the Sloan Group, then find someone competent to take his place."
The head of the PR department was stunned. "President Sloan, I..."
Nathaniel Sloan didn’t even spare him a glance. Luke White explained with a sneer, "Director—oh, sorry, former director—Evernight Group and Sloan Group are completely separate entities. Since you chose to obey Chairman Sloan of the Sloan Group and accept his benefits, you are no longer qualified to remain at Evernight."
"Seeing how fond you are of the Sloan Group, you can prepare to take a position there."
The former head of PR was dumbfounded. His face went deathly pale, and he began to panic.
’He’s firing me?! Every department at Sloan Group is saturated. Even if I go there, I won’t have any real power, not like at Evernight where I could be the head of the PR department!’
’I... I just accepted a little favor from Ethan Sloan!’
BEEP BEEP... Just then, an internal line rang on Luke White’s phone.
Luke White’s expression changed. "Sir, Noelle Lockwood and Miss Mia are in a conflict downstairs, but..."
Nathaniel Sloan shot up from his seat, his face suddenly grim. "Noelle Lockwood is bullying Mia? How is Mia?!"
He didn’t wait for Luke White to finish and strode quickly out of the office.
Luke White: "...Uh..."
Luke White watched as Nathaniel Sloan was already stepping into the elevator. Only then did he slowly finish the sentence he hadn’t gotten out before, speaking to the empty air.
