Mabel Quinn’s heart was heavy, but the other people in the office, witnessing the scene, felt as if they were watching a TV drama. After all, the man was handso, carrying an allure of forbidden desire, and the woman was gentle and vibrant, with skin so fair that even other won couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.
"You’re lying, aren’t you? I heard that her husband passed away a long ti ago," Mrs. Tan said. "You must have fallen for so trick this woman played on you, ready to be so sort of cheap stepfather, huh? For soone like you, why bother with a woman whose husband died early? There are plenty of won in their first marriage for you to choose from. I could even get my husband to introduce you to so unmarried female colleagues from the education bureau, who are much better than her."
Mr. Lee, standing by, couldn’t take it anymore. What was all this nonsense? Didn’t Kyle have plenty of choice among won? In Falling City, many socialites were eager to join the Kinston Family. Did Kyle really need to care about so female colleagues in the education bureau?
"Mrs. Tan, this is Mr. Kinston!" Mr. Lee said.
"Who is Mr. Kinston?" Mrs. Tan scoffed. "Mr. Lee, you don’t an to say that just because he’s dressed well, he’s a CEO? Nowadays, all the business cards are printed with so title or other, there are plenty of frauds out there."
Mr. Lee was about ready to wipe the sweat from Mrs. Tan’s brow. Did she realize what she was implying about Mr. Kinston? A fraud?! "Mrs. Tan, this really is Kyle Kinston, the CEO who ca from Falling City to G City. There were news reports about it a while ago. If you still don’t believe , you can search it on your mobile phone browser yourself." She hoped Mrs. Tan wouldn’t faint after she verified it.
Mrs. Tan checked and her face instantly turned pale, her body beginning to tremble! This man... really was the CEO!
At this mont, Mrs. Tan recalled that her husband had indeed ntioned him before, saying that the Kinston CEO from Falling City was coming to G City for so kind of corporate rger, sothing the city was eager to promote. She’d heard it before and forgotten, since her life had nothing to do with such rgers anyway.
She never expected that Mr. Kinston would appear before her in such a way, and she’d just uttered those words...
Thinking of the words she’d just spoken, Mrs. Tan felt like slapping herself. What kind of nonsense had she been spouting?!
"Mr... Mr... Mr... Kinston... earlier... it was a misunderstanding. I... I was speaking foolishly... please don’t mind..." Mrs. Tan stuttered, unable to get her words out coherently.
"Speaking foolishly? What you just said could be grounds for a defamation lawsuit!" Kyle sneered. "You might as well go ho and wait for the court summons."
Mrs. Tan was startled, her face turning colorless. If that charge were proven, it could an prison!
"And you said that just one word from your husband could make my daughter drop out, right? So now, could I also make your daughter drop out?" Kyle coldly retorted.
"I... I... I..." She stamred for a long ti but couldn’t say a word, only trembling more violently.
