Unwanted Fake Wife The Top Billionaire novel Chapter 276

It suddenly made sense.

Why Elena had the nerve to publish something like this. She had Alexander backing her.

Finished

No matter how big this got, surely he wouldn’t fire his own wife. The tone in the room shifted almost immediately.

Mockery turned into envy.

“Must be nice,” someone muttered under their breath. “Marry rich and do whatever you want.”

The words hit Camille like a needle.

Her expression tightened as she stood up, her voice sharp. “Who said she’s untouchable just because she married Alexander? Do you really think she matters more to him than the Hawke family or the Sterlings?”

The room went quiet again.

That… was a fair point.

Everyone knew Alexander’s reputation. Cold, calculating, driven by profit above all else.

If Elena had caused trouble big enough to affect those families, there was no way he would let it slide.

Some even began to speculate that she might be thrown out of the Kingsley family within days.

Still, Camille’s reaction felt a little too intense. The employees exchanged glances, then quickly adjusted their tone.

“You’re right, Camille. She’s way too confident. Alexander might drop her any day now.”

“Exactly. Not like you, you’ve got everything going for you. Mr. Hawthorne even picks you up from work these days, right?”

“Seriously, you’ve got the perfect setup. Career and relationship, both thriving.”

The flattery worked.

Camille’s expression softened, satisfaction flickering in her eyes as she sat back down.

She glanced at the screen, where Elena’s profile photo was displayed alongside the title “Senior Journalist.”

A faint, dismissive smile curved her lips.

“Overestimating herself,” she muttered.

Going up against Landon, and expecting Alexander and the Kingsley family to protect her?

Ridiculous. She would just wait. Wait for the day Elena got pushed out.

Meanwhile, Elena’s phone had been ringing nonstop. Evelyn had called several times.

She didn’t pick up.

Instead, Sophia received the call and walked over with a helpless look. “Elena… it’s my aunt.

Not wanting to put Sophia in an awkward position, Elena took the phone.

“Mom-”

She barely got the word out before Evelyn’s voice came through, sharp and anxious. “What exactly did you post? Does Alexander know about this?”

In the background, Walter’s voice could be heard faintly.

“Let the younger generation handle their work…”

“Dad, this isn’t about interfering,” Evelyn snapped before lowering her voice again. “If this keeps going, something’s going to go wrong.”

She covered the receiver briefly, then continued, “I don’t care what happened. Take the article down. Now.”

She had always known Elena’s work would eventually stir up trouble.

The Sterling family and the Hawke family might not carry the same weight as the Kingsleys, but on the surface, the relationships were still there, and there was no reason to let things turn ugly.

Elena tightened her grip on the phone.

She was still thinking about how to respond when a servant’s voice came through from the other end. “Ma’am, Mr. Kingsley is back.”

Evelyn turned. Alexander had just walked in, removing his coat as he handed it to the staff.

Seeing the phone in her hand, he extended his hand slightly. Evelyn passed it to him.
