Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 267

Hearing the question, Sebastian finally looked up from his phone. He shot Finnian a withering look that practically screamed, 'Are you deaf?' before returning to his scrolling.

"..."

Finnian deeply wished he was deaf, even temporarily. He genuinely didn't want any part in a petty scheme that felt beneath a toddler.

Mentally adding another complaint to the endless list of grievances about his temperamental boss, Finnian gathered his composure and asked with resigned dread, "May I ask why?"

Sebastian didn't even look up. "No reason."

"Then why—" go out of your way to torment the man?

"Because I don't like his face."

Sebastian offered the delayed justification with a shrug.

Finnian was speechless.

Great. At least it wasn't completely arbitrary this time. He wasn't completely flying blind!

Even though the excuse was flimsy and ridiculous, it gave Finnian enough context to piece together the real logic behind the order.

Disliking Julian's face was clearly code for avenging Elara.

Finnian wasn't entirely sure what was happening between Julian and Elara right now, but calling in a vice raid required an actual woman to be in the room.

Sebastian would never do anything to hurt Elara, which meant she wasn't there. Therefore, the woman in Julian's room was either his mistress or an actual sex worker.

Regardless of the truth, it was an incredibly dirty move.

Taking a split second to pity Julian, Finnian muttered, "Understood," and quietly let himself out of the presidential suite.
