Evil Spirits


    Knowing too many people were around, I didn’t want to cause a scene and suppressed my anger.


    Matthew tried to grab me as he said, “Chlo, what’s with your temper?”


    I dodged his hand, and it only grasped the air. He looked flustered, then nced at the people watching


    us before casually putting his hand into his pocket.


    Matthew continued, “There’s a discussion for everything. We won’t need to worry about ourpanies”


    statuses if we sessfully handle these two projects. Why are you making things harder for yourself


    instead of joining me?” ”


    I tried to shake him off again and replied with a hint of disdain, “You should just enjoy your life. I


    wouldn’t


    want to trouble you.”


    Still, Matthew persisted in getting in my way. “I promise to give you whatever I give Mel. She’s leaving


    her work responsibilities to care for our son. You and I can have a harmonious family. What do you


    say?”


    *Matthew, you have no shame. Are you daydreaming? Wake up.”


    The air went silent as Lauren approached us confidently.


    Matthew’s expression soured when he saw her, but he didn’t dare to offend her. He smiled and said,


    “Ms. Lauren, you seem to enjoy meddling in other people’s family affairs.”


    “Oh, family affairs? Didn’t you have the most memorable wedding anniversary celebration in Foswood?


    You know, the one where you got caught cheating


    Lauren spoke mercilessly, “I heard your mistress’s son


    is a month old now. Are you addicted to causing trouble?”


    The onlookers couldn’t help but sneer.


    “Lauren, you’re overstepping.” Matthew couldn’t hold back.


    “Oh? Lauren smiled while holding her phone. “Shall I go even further? I recorded everything you said


    just


    now. Should I send it to your son’s mother to cheer her up?”


    Her words made me almostugh. I admired Lauren for thinking of such a thing. It seemed she was the


    best at making a scene..


    Just mind your business,” I said, trying to break free from Matthew, I didn’t want to cause a stir, so I led


    Lourenyaway. After all, I didn’t want to embarrass myself and didn’t like engaging with him.


    Unexpectedly, I bumped into Ste as I turned around. She was walking toward me with an elegant


    smile

    Lauren couldn’t help but mutter, “Damn it.”


    I nced at her before smiling and taking Ste’s hands. I knew I had to appear graceful and elegant


    when in a crowd. After all, it was a performance for them, and we yed our parts.


    “Yes, Ms. Ste. It’s rare to see you here,” I said, “You look stunning today, a standout in the business


    world.”


    Ste smiled while holding my hand. Then, she leaned in and whispered, “Are you


    anxious?”


    She hinted at something, and I understood what it was. I thought our rtionship must seem unique in


    the eyes of outsiders. How we looked at each other would seem like we had a close bond.


    I blushed slightly at her words and whispered back, “Indeed, I am anxious. Since it’s a minor injury, why


    make it so secretive and tough on yourself?”


    Ste nced at me sidelong. She smiled mysteriously and said, “We’re in the rich people’s world.”


    “I don’t understand. The problem is having too many scumbags,” I said, looking disgusted.


    Her eyes flickered briefly, and her demeanor became severe. “Even these scumbags are hard to get for


    some people.”


    “In that case, you should be vignt and not let your guard down,” I chuckled mischievously and


    remembered something. I leaned in and whispered, “By the way, I heard Kennedy left something for


    the


    cops.”


    Ste’s eyes showed a hint of cunning. However, she quickly regained herposure and asked,


    “Who


    are you talking about?”


    “You know who that is,” I said with a smile, then took Lauren’s arm and turned to leave.
