Chandler glanced at Lydia and said slowly, “I was here last night loo, Lydia. Are you suggesting that I also helped my wife with the video editing?” 

Meryl was taken aback, thinking, “Chandler stayed with me all night? With how busy he is…” 

She looked at Chandler more closely. Indeed, he was still in the same clothes from yesterday, and his eyes held a barely perceptible hint of fatigue. 

She felt a warm sense of appreciation. 

Chandler’s casual remark hit Lydia like a ton of bricks. 

Lydia’s face went ashen, completely speechless. 

She thought, “The Aniston family has never liked me, and Chandler, as the head of the family, holds absolute authority.

Malcolm froze. 

He thought, “Chandler’s bringing up Celestial Ventures Group- is he trying to pressure me? 

Is he actually threatening to make the company go under? 

If Chandler wanted to, he could significantly hurt Celestial Ventures Group’s performance. If he really pushes…”

that crossing Chandler wasn’t worth the risk. 

Besides, Lydia was clearly in the wrong.

Malcolm glared at Lydia. “Lydia! What’s wrong with you? You used to be so obedient. Why are you so out of line this time? Apologize to Meryl right now!”
