Chapter 91\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas grunted lightly, picked his clothes up from the floor, and strode out of the room without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany lowered her gaze and hung her head. This was exactly why she couldn\u2019t get too smug when things went her way. After two days of smooth sailing, trouble immediately found her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, something occurred to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last night, the door was supposedly locked. If that was true, how could Silas have left this quickly a minute ago?\u00a0<\/p>\n
More to the point, how could he say that he wasn\u2019t trying to do something to her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they returned to the country, Bethany and Silas gave each other the silent treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jane lay low in the kitchen, observing their every move. Concern etched across her face as she texted Jeremy about what she saw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Brennan Senior, Mr. and Mrs. Brennan are giving each other the cold shoulder. He didn\u2019t bring her to work, and she shut herself in the room the moment she came home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Didn\u2019t they go away for a wedding photoshoot? So, why were they still at odds with each other?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah and Ella were also done with their wedding photoshoot. Yet, as she went through the pictures, she noticed that he didn\u2019t look excited in a single one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And after they returned to the country, Noah didn\u2019t bother to call her for several days either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When asked, he merely said he was busy. In truth, he was racking his brain, trying to think of a way to meet Bethany again. Meanwhile, Easton had a contract in his hand as he stood in front of Bethany. \u201cMs. Porter, Vazquez Group also offered us a collaboration. Will you be joining the business dinner with them tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany cast an indifferent glance at the contract, knowing full well that Noah was targeting her again. If she refused to join the dinner, he might stir up more trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Friday, too, the day the Brennan family usually gathered for a meal. Thus, she sent Silas a text.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a business dinner tonight. I can\u2019t visit Jeremy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Silas received her text but didn\u2019t reply, she assumed he was fine with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At night, Easton and Bethany showed up at the restaurant together. As expected, Noah took the main seat in the private room, Easton took a step forward. He was mildly surprised that Noah would show up for such a small collaboration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Vazquez, your reputation precedes you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah wore an aloof expression. When his gaze swept past Bethany, he subtly raised his eyebrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Clay, please take your seat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Easton arranged for two employees to tag along. They were heavy drinkers, and that was the main reason Bethany agreed to come tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried her best to keep a low profile, but it was no use. After all, a lot of people working at Vazquez Group recognized her\u00a0<\/p>\n
and knew she used to be Noah\u2019s assistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of them lifted his glass. \u201cMs. Porter, color me surprised. You used to work as an assistant in Vazquez Group, and now, you\u2019ve become a director.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 91\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany raised her glass of juice and smiled faintly. \u201cYeah. I was just lucky.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah tapped the table with his finger. \u201cMs. Porter, do you consider yourself above us? Mr. Holland here is trying to drink with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, everyone immediately understood that Noah had it out for Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she lowered her glass, Easton quickly chuckled and tried to defuse the tension.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Porter isn\u2019t feeling well tonight. How about I drink in her stead?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
George wasn\u2019t really bothered, but Noah had put him on the spot. So, he didn\u2019t exactly have a choice either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah said cockily, \u201cMr. Clay, you can\u2019t just drink on her behalf. We\u2019re talking about a collaboration here, and she has to show how serious she is by drinking with us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In fact, Bethany was fine with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah wanted to see her give in, but she casually held the glass and emptied its contents in one gulp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Vazquez, is that good enough for you? I\u2019m very serious about the collaboration. So, how about extending the contract for the long term?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only a fool would turn down the opportunity to make a profit. Besides, this was her chance to take the scumbag\u2019s money. Of course, she was going to take it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah flashed her a sarcastic smile and pushed a glass of white wine toward Bethany. \u201cThat\u2019s up for negotiations, and it\u2019s up to you to show me how serious you are, Ms. Porter.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany\u2019s eyes narrowed sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExcuse me,\u201d said a voice from behind, immediately cutting through the tension. \u201cMr. Vazquez, Mr. Brennan is in the private room next door, and he\u2019d like to see you for a bit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas again?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah frowned, showing no interest. \u201cI\u2019m busy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The young man grinned. \u201cMr. Vazquez, Mr. Brennan asked if you\u2019re too afraid to see him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Bethany froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas was still as infuriating as ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She watched as Noah snorted slightly and rose to his feet, his gaze darkening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLead the way, then. I\u2019m not afraid of him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
