Chapter 186 Putting the Show Together

When Matthew calmed down slightly, the employees helped to clean up his mess while

Carol

accompanied me back to my office

Suddenly, Matthew burst into my office. “Chloe, what’s your relationship with Mr. Maddox?

Why didn’t you say anything about it when we were together? How many more resources

and connections do you have? Why are you doing this?!”

I stood behind my desk and rested my hands on it as I gazed at him in amusement. His

questions

seemed comical, as if he believed I should surrender all my answers. He had a peculiar

way of thinking.

I replied, “There’s a lot you don’t know about me.”

“Why are you doing this to me, Chloe?” His tone softened abruptly, and he sounded

disheartened, “When

did you become so ruthless?”–

My phone rang as he spoke, interrupting our conversation. I saw it was Atlas, collected my

thoughts, and

answered the call, “Hello?”

“Where are you?” Atlas’s voice came through.

“In my office,” I replied simply.

“Wait for me,” he said before hanging up. I didn’t quite grasp the meaning behind his

words.

I sat in my chair, looking at Matthew. “I don’t have time to answer your questions. Take

care of yourself from now on. Carol, please see our guest out!” I instructed Carol.

I learned a valuable lesson from Ryan today. Instead of arguing with Matthew, I remained

calm and used

my strengths to render him powerless and troubled. I believed it was the best course of

action.

“Chloe, how could you treat me like this?” He continued to gaze at me dejectedly. “Why

can’t I see through you?”

I didn’t want to engage with him since today’s events gave me a splitting headache.

“Mr. Matthew, please leave,” Carol said coldly.

I started to appreciate Ryan’s tactics. He used Atticus’s visit to make Matthew anxious and

confused. Matthew now believed I had a connection with the mysterious Maddox.

Meanwhile, I knew Maddox could

put everyone on edge.

“Carol, please find out who this Mr. Maddox is.”

“Ms. Chloe, Maddox O’Connell is the highest–ranking official of a government agency,”

Carol immediately. replied, leaving me stunned.

No wonder Atticus had acted decisively. It seemed Maddox hadn’t disclosed everything

last night. He had only come to help me, even though we didn’t know each other. Still, I

wondered why he did it or if he

had some connection with Atlas.

I wanted to know their relationship since Atlas could persuade the highest–ranking official

to intervene on

my behalf. I couldn’t make sense of anything.

As the workday ended, my office received another visitor, Atlas. After escorting him to my

office, Carol

discreetly closed the door behind her.

Atlas approached me and extended his hand, “Come here.”

However, I remained rooted and didn’t approach him. He raised an eyebrow and came

closer. “What’s

wrong? Did you get scared last night?”

I couldn’t help but find his words amusing because he had indirectly admitted his

involvement. It seemed

he sent Mr. Maddox.

“I wasn’t scared last night, but I am petrified today.” I pouted, feeling frustrated.

I felt like a laughingstock with everything that happened today. After all, everyone in the

city knew about my divorce, and I kept embarrassing myself even after that. I bet

everyone in Galar Tower knew about the

After the mistress came to cause a scene, my ex–husband came. I had no chance to

salvage my image.

“Tell me,” Atlas said, lifting my chin and gazing into my eyes. He lightly brushed his

fingers against my lips.

I glanced at him skeptically and then recounted the story to him. He smiled after hearing

it, and I felt like he was playing with my heart.

“Why? Are you scared?” He met my gaze, smiling. “I brought someone for you.”

“What do you mean?” I didn’t understand what he was getting at.

casually.

Indeed, I had been searching for a marketing manager for a while, but none met my
