His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 57: Have You Fallen for Kiana Sutton?
Kiana Sutton has always adhered to the principle of not causing trouble unless provoked.
She didn’t want to become enemies with Stella Lynch, but first it was Joshua, and then Evan Shepherd.
Stella Lynch kept tripping her up over and over again, so there was no reason for her to hold back anymore.
Compared to her, Stella Lynch was more afraid of others finding out about her relationship with Ethan Sinclair.
After all, even if Ethan Sinclair didn’t love her, they had been legally married for three years.
Sure enough, Stella Lynch’s expression was as sour as it could be.
She glared at Kiana Sutton as if she wanted to eat her alive, "Kiana Sutton, do you think using underhanded means to marry Brother Ethan and being with him will replace my sister’s place in his heart? I’m telling you, it’s impossible!"
Stella Lynch laughed in anger, "Brother Ethan will never fall in love with you. The only reason he touched you was to use you as a tool for his desires. Once my sister wakes up, you’ll be nothing but a drowned rat!"
Kiana Sutton’s response wasn’t as agitated as Stella Lynch had imagined; her expression was calm, making Stella Lynch seem like a cornered, frantic dog.
The phone vibrated once again, and Kiana Sutton looked down.
"It’s a snail, and it’s climbed up here. You have one minute to come up immediately."
Ethan Sinclair seemed to be growing impatient, his words were filled with anger.
Kiana Sutton dared not delay any longer and went directly to the eighteenth floor.
Stella Lynch watched Kiana Sutton’s slender, petite back with clenched fists and eyes filled with hatred.
In the CEO’s office.
Kiana Sutton noticed that Ethan Sinclair was wearing a white tie today, knowing he was in a good mood, and she slightly relaxed.
Since that wild encounter in the car, this was the first time the two of them had met. Kiana Sutton’s cheeks were slightly red, mostly with anxiety.
She didn’t know how Ethan Sinclair would react to her confession.
However, Ethan Sinclair spoke, not mentioning a single word about that day.
"How long have you been in the planning department?"
Kiana Sutton was taken aback for a moment, then earnestly held up "Fifty days."
Ethan Sinclair snorted lightly, "You’re quite capable; you joined the planning department and got rid of two employees and a manager."
Kiana Sutton: "..."
"I think you’re better suited to stay in the CEO’s office. Starting tomorrow, come back and continue as my secretary."
Upon hearing this, Kiana Sutton’s face instantly turned as pale as a sheet.
Ethan Sinclair knew she liked him, so was he trying to kick her out of Evercrest Group?
No wonder Kiana Sutton thought so; during her time as Ethan Sinclair’s secretary, she was essentially left to her own devices.
She had the title of secretary, but was never assigned any work.
Not to mention, she didn’t even receive a salary.
Seeing Kiana Sutton’s expression, Ethan Sinclair’s handsome face turned cold.
"What? You’re unwilling?"
Didn’t Kiana Sutton like him? Why was she reacting this way when he asked her to stay by his side?
Unless the words she said about liking him that day were all lies?
Looking at Kiana Sutton’s conflicted expression, Ethan Sinclair suddenly felt a surge of frustration in his chest, "If you’re unwilling, then get out!"
Seeing Ethan Sinclair’s misunderstanding, Kiana Sutton anxiously gestured, "I’m not unwilling."
"Then why are you making this face?"
"I... I just wanted to ask if my salary would remain the same as in the planning department if I return to the CEO’s office."
Ethan Sinclair: "..."
So, she was conflicted just because of the salary?
Ha... So in her eyes, money was more important than him.
Kiana Sutton saw Ethan Sinclair’s face darkened, she dared not make any further moves.
"What if I said there’s no salary in the CEO’s office?"
Kiana Sutton was quite torn internally. Staying in the CEO’s office would naturally be good, as if Ethan Sinclair wanted her to keep coming, she could be with him every day.
But she was afraid Ethan Sinclair would make her go home to "serve time."
Moreover, even if she stayed by Ethan Sinclair’s side, she couldn’t go without money.
After careful consideration, Kiana Sutton made up her mind.
"Then I’d better stay in the planning department!"
Ethan Sinclair didn’t expect Kiana Sutton to like money more than him; his face turned terrifyingly grim.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
A knocking sound suddenly echoed.
"Come in!"
The person who pushed the door open was Stella Lynch. Seeing Kiana Sutton indeed in Ethan Sinclair’s office, her face filled with anger. After biting her lip, she looked at Ethan Sinclair, "President Sinclair, I have words to speak to you. Can you let the unrelated person leave first?"
Ethan Sinclair looked at Stella Lynch, then turned his gaze to Kiana Sutton’s face, "You go out first."
Kiana Sutton glanced at Stella Lynch looking smug and arrogant, clenched her fist, and left the CEO’s office.
She had never won against the Lynch Family in front of Ethan Sinclair.
Once Kiana Sutton left, Stella Lynch seemed to transform into a different person, speaking pitifully, "Brother Ethan, did you fall for Kiana Sutton?"
Ethan Sinclair’s face showed no expression, "This is a company, and it’s working hours!"
"Of course I know, but I just feel it’s unfair to my sister. If it weren’t for Kiana Sutton’s family, my sister wouldn’t have been comatose for three years and unable to wake up. You wouldn’t have married Kiana Sutton either. How can you..."
"Enough!"
Seeing Ethan Sinclair angry, Stella Lynch was a little frightened.
"Considering you’re Kate’s younger sister, I won’t hold you accountable for what you’ve done lately. If it happens again, not even Kate’s name will shield you."
Stella Lynch’s heart trembled violently; what did Ethan Sinclair mean by this?
Did he know about Joshua Lynch and Evan Shepherd?
"Your internship should be ending soon; go back to school earlier."
Stella Lynch was full of disbelief; there was over a week left of her internship, yet Ethan Sinclair was making her leave now, clearly wanting to drive her out of Evercrest Group earlier.
He really was protecting Kiana Sutton!
Stella Lynch was very unwilling, but she dared not defy Ethan Sinclair.
As she left, she sadly said, "Brother Ethan, thank you for letting me intern at Evercrest Group, but I must say, my sister loved you so much. Can you honestly say you’re worthy of her?"
Ethan Sinclair’s expression was heavy and terrifying.
Stella Lynch’s early departure from her internship caused a huge stir in the planning department.
"What’s going on? Someone just saw Kiana Sutton and Stella Lynch arguing in the corner, and now she’s leaving Evercrest Group. Could it be that the rumors are true?"
"What rumor?"
"Anyone who goes against Kiana Sutton doesn’t end well!"
"Exactly, first Winter Sheridan and Harold Young, then Evan Shepherd and Lily Jennings, and now Stella Lynch!"
Lily Jennings was the one who mocked Kiana Sutton in the morning; she accidentally fell in the restroom, sprained her ankle, and took three days off.
"Could it be that Kiana Sutton truly has a deity protecting her?"
"One or two coincidental incidents can be brushed off, but this many events altogether, it’s really scary. We should better not provoke Kiana Sutton in the future."
