Untamed Charming Wife

As a result, Ethaniel nodded and raised an eyebrow at Jack. “It concerns the internal security of Goldenshore Group. You can leave.”

Innocent Jack, was speechless. “… What does that have to do with me?”

This was Seatowne, his territory. He, Jack, held sway over the political, business, military, and police sectors of the entire Seatowne. How had he become an outsider?

Linda’s face changed, and she quickly explained, “Mr. Han, I wasn’t referring to Mr. Robins.”

Ethaniel glanced at the agitated Linda, said nothing, and simply tossed his laptop to Kayla, who was completely in the dark, and strode forward.

Kayla was forced to take the laptop bag and reluctantly followed Ethaniel and Linda, who kept giving her strange looks, to the meeting.

Luckily, Ethaniel didn’t force her to maintain a 10-centimeter distance. During the meeting, she hid behind the screen and sat quietly.

The huge venue was packed to capacity. The front row of seats was filled with rich people!

Eighty percent of them fit her definition of the wealthy: fat and well-fed, bald with potbellies, exuding an aura of “I have money! I am money!”

In contrast, Ethaniel, sitting in the front row, was a unique presence!

Even Kayla had to admit, the man was truly exceptional to the point of being unbelievable.

Soon, Linda whispered something to Ethaniel and got up to leave.

As she passed Kayla, Linda paused, her gaze sweeping over Kayla’s tense face before walking out.

A while later, she walked past Kayla again, holding a stack of files. Seeing Kayla still with a tight face, eyes fixed intently on Ethaniel, unmoving, Linda frowned, standing beside Kayla, and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Kayla blinked, her eyes never leaving Ethaniel, and replied, “Ethaniel.”

Her task was to protect Ethaniel. Based on her past experience in protecting witnesses, it generally meant keeping a steady gaze, ready to draw her gun at the first sign of trouble.

Linda’s expression darkened, her tone cold as she asked, “What is your relationship with the CEO?”

Kayla was surprised by the question. She turned her head to look at the tall, elegant woman before her. It was the first time someone had questioned her in such a manner, so she countered, “And what is your relationship with Ethaniel?”

Linda calmly smiled, her carefully painted eyebrows slightly raised. “I’ve been with him for ten years. What do you think?”

“……”

The air froze for a moment. Kayla let out an indifferent “oh” and turned back to continue watching Ethaniel. Linda coldly smiled, carrying a stack of documents as she walked past Kayla, swaying her hips.

Together for ten years… That means a third of Ethaniel’s life has been spent with her?

Kayla’s eyes couldn’t help but dart to Linda. She glanced back and forth between Linda and Ethaniel.

Kayla pursed her lips, she had to admit Ethaniel and that beautiful woman looked perfect together. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, talented and charming, speaking a bunch of professional jargon she couldn’t understand, sitting in a position she could never reach…

His words about her being a mother to Oliver must have been just casual talk. Rich people were often heartless, easily saying things like that. Luckily, she didn’t take it seriously.

Yet, a hint of sadness she herself didn’t notice surfaced in her eyes. She blinked hard, trying to clear away those unwanted emotions.

At the midday break, Ethaniel put down his documents and got up to head towards the screen behind him.

He always prioritized work and adhered to that principle. However, today’s meeting had him somewhat distracted. If he hadn’t exercised great restraint, he might have turned around frequently to see what that silly girl was doing.

The silly girl might indeed be staring at him without blinking to protect him.

Thinking of this, Ethaniel smiled. But in the next second, his smile froze.

The silly girl who was supposed to be behind the curtain protecting him was gone!

“Mr. Han, the luncheon is arranged in Area C.” Linda approached, formally checking the itinerary.

Ethaniel ignored Linda and took out his phone to make a call.

It took three tries before Kayla’s somewhat muffled voice answered, “Hello…”

“Where are you?” Ethaniel asked directly.

“I’m carrying out your task,” Kayla said distantly, as if deliberately trying to put some space between them. “You asked me to take lunch to Oliver, right? If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

Without waiting for Ethaniel’s response, Kayla decisively hung up.

Ethaniel’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Mr. Han, the luncheon…” Linda looked at Ethaniel’s increasingly cold face, feeling a bit uneasy. Over the years, Ethaniel had always kept his emotions well-hidden, but now he was clearly upset.

That call just now was to that little policewoman, wasn’t it?Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

And he’s upset because of her?

Ethaniel silently put away his phone, his handsome face cold, and walked towards Area C without a word.

Kayla hung up the phone, still fuming!

That beautiful woman had been with him for ten years; their relationship must be extraordinary! Why did he kiss her and say all those strange things?!
