Chapter 70 A Mere Shield
+15 BONUS
Ivanna urged us to eat when the food arrived, “No matter how big the problem is, you two must fill your
stomachs before solving it. Chlo, I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’re already as thin as a
toothpick.”
I realized she was trying to make Matthew feel even more guilty.
He stole a glance at me and served me food while Ivanna spoke, targeting Matthew’s weak spot,
Matthew, you must find a way to stop things from escalating. This problem will affect Chlo and the
company’s reputation. 1
“Nonetheless, the business must go on, right? I know how hard you two have worked to build Tanum Corporation.”
“I considered that, but…” Matthew stole a glance at me. “But I’m afraid Chlo won’t be happy.” 1
“I don’t give a damn! You knew cheating would crush her, but you did it anyway. Why didn’t you think about her feelings then?” Ivanna continued to criticize him.
Matthew turned flushed as he gritted his teeth.
“I don’t know much about your company, and Chlo hasn’t told me anything. Chlo, you need to start telling me things. Are we even best friends? The most urgent thing is to stop this situation from worsening.”
Ivanna looked at Matthew. “Hey, share your thoughts. It’s better to have more minds turning. We need a quick solution. Although I’m an outsider, I don’t want to see you two like this.”
“I want Chlo to step forward…” Matthew grabbed my hand and held it tightly. “Chlo, I want us to make an announcement together to dispel the rumors.”
I cursed him inwardly. He expected me to be his shield even in such a humiliating situation.
You’ve got some nerve! Haven’t you humiliated me enough?!” I pulled my hand away and questioned, What am I to you?”
