Getting More Mysterious
Eleanor’s information sparked a bold idea. I knew Matthew liked cutting costs because he constantly
sought to reduce expenses and increase profits. It was a perfect vulnerability to use against him
I recalled advising him not to focus solely on profits. After all, being consumed by greed would only
lead
to failure. I remember Matthew scoffing at me, calling women timid and having no foresight.
He even pointed to his head, telling me to use my brain. It seemed he would fall to his doom because
of it
I couldn’t help but feel delighted with a n in ce.
At that moment, my mom entered with Ava. Upon seeing my arm, my mom’s eyes welled with tears.
“Your
were just about to leave, but you’re in here again. Nothing good everes from those two.
Ava approached my bedside and touched my arm “Mommy, does it hurt here? Let me blow on it, and it
won’t hurt anymore!”
“The Murphys just make me mad! My mom couldn’t restrain her anger.
“It doesn’t hurt much. It’s just a tiny fracture. The doctor said it would heal quickly. Luckily, my bone
didn’t break.” I casually remarked
My dad and Ryan then entered together, both ncing at my arm. “Chloe, the next time you see them,
just walk away.”
I smiled helplessly, “Where can I hide? It was an ident I wouldn’t have gotten injured if I hadn’t
feared
he baby might fall. The baby is still too young. I couldn’t just stand and watch.”
Eleanor looked at me approvingly. “Chloe’s just too kind. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t care
their enemy’s baby fell.”
“But that’s not right. The adults have issues, so we can’t take it out on the baby. The baby was
innocent,” my dad added, “We can endure a little suffering, but we must keep a clear conscience.”
“The despicable ones face karma.” My mom still looked displeased.
Just then, Ivanna barged in. Seeing everyone there, she refrained from adding fuel to the fire. Ryan
asked Lauren, “Is there a good stew ce nearby?”
Just follow me.”
Soon after, we happily headed out for a stew. Even I joked that the price for this meal was a bit hefty.
Moreover, my right arm was injured, and Ryan cared for me the whole time.
I only stayed in the hospital for two days before being discharged. After all, I had many matters to
handle and couldn’t lie in the hospital.
In the aftermath of the banquet incident, I took action against the media. It led to them getting sued. My
office had been swamped these days. The bosses of those media outlets sought reconciliation. They
even agreed with my highpensation demands.
I thought it was bizarre and joked with Carol that these people had too much money. Still, I felt it had
something to do with the authorities. Their conversations implied I had some support and that we
should
coborate more next time.
I
I sneered at it, not even understanding it myself. Later, I discovered my initial thoughts were wrong
because I had unexpectedly developed close coborations with those media outlets. I couldn’t do
anything if they thought of me a certain way.
Plus, it could benefit me, so I had no reason to shut them out. As a result. I became increasingly
mysterious to the public eye. The authorities even punished the troublemakers and inte trolls
ordingly.
Still, the banquet incident hadn’t subsided yet. My poprity remained high with Noel’s heartwarming
reports. It attracted numerous journalists who discussed spreading positivity. Soon, I received a call
from Atticus before I could thank him for dispatching his bodyguards to protect me.
Therefore, I quickly told Carol to drive me to Vanderberg Pce.
I liked that ce, thanks to him. It was peaceful and perfect for discussing things. Plus, it was in the
commercial center and easy to reach.
Upon entering the ce, the receptionist informed me that Atticus was waiting in the Spring Hall. After
expressing my gratitude, I headed toward the second floor.
When I entered after hearing Atticus’s response, I saw him and a beautiful woman sitting inside.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
