Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 169

Elara was genuinely stunned by the news.

Julian had previously used the excuse of 'corporate funding issues' to brush her off, but they both knew it was just a convenient lie. The company was perfectly fine. She never imagined Ark Solutions would implode like this.

Since human lives were on the line, Elara couldn't help but feel a pang of concern. She texted Sarah: [Are the workers okay?]

As she waited, she opened her browser and started scrolling through the breaking news articles.

By the time Sarah's reply came through, Elara had already read enough to grasp the severity of the situation. She fired back: [This was buried for a month and then suddenly leaked, spreading like wildfire. Do you honestly think this is a coincidence?]

Sarah: [Manufacturing this level of public outrage in a matter of hours and completely blindsiding Ark's PR team? A regular person couldn't pull that off.]

[Are you really worried about him?]

Elara didn't bother hiding her true feelings: [At first, I was just worried about the injured workers.]

Sarah quickly reassured her: [With the media breathing down their necks, they wouldn't dare neglect the victims now.]

They debated the scandal for a few more minutes until a soft knock on the bedroom door forced Elara to lock her screen.

It was Jocelyn.

During the entire ride home, she had desperately tried to act like everything was fine, refusing to ask any questions. But the suffocating weight of her thoughts had completely ruined her afternoon nap. Unable to rest, she decided to head upstairs and talk to her daughter.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her mother looking so incredibly anxious and burdened, Elara was instantly alarmed. She quickly pulled the door wide open. "Did you have a nightmare?"

They hadn't even been home for thirty minutes. Even if her mother was a heavy sleeper, there was no way she had fallen asleep fast enough to have a nightmare.

"No, I wasn't sleeping."

Jocelyn followed her inside and sank onto the sofa. Without waiting for Elara to prompt her, she confessed, "I was thinking about your situation."
