“Logan is fat, and Huxley is skinny. Winona and Mildred… They are even more unlikely. Mikayla thought hard.

Lucas asked. “Mikayla, what is it? Do you remember anything?”

Mikayla shook her head. The video had stopped playing. Aside from confirming it was none of the Salvatore family members, she could think of no one else who fit the profile.

Lucas sighed and said, “You’re right. I can’t recognize anyone’s back either.”

“I’m sorry!” Mikayla apologized as she saw Lucas irritably lighting a cigarette and frowning. Her problem had upset someone else more than herself.

“It’s okay. Maybe I was too worried. But we also found someone else who investigated this Lucas said. Sometimes, when the case got tough, he would become addicted to smoking cigarettes. Last night, while working on the case, he had napped in his office at five o’clock in the morning. Now, his temples started to ache. He felt smoking a cigarette would make him feel better.

“Did anyone else know!” Mikayla asked. The incident didn’t make much of a splash outside the family. Even Mikayla’s family was in the dark about what happened. The Miller family was even less likely to know. It happened before Mikayla called off the engagement with Jaxon, and they had never even talked to her. So, it was unlikely they knew.

Carlos was the only option

If he was the one, he must have known she had deliberately deceived him. Not only had he not exposed her, he had gone along with it. Mikayla wondered what he was thinking. Suddenly, she

realized how devious he was. At the same time, she was glad he was not her enemy. Otherwise, hier chances of winning would have been almost impossible.

“Yes, and the way they investigated it is superb. They’re not inferior to professionals like us, Lucas commented. He stubbed out the cigarette and lit another.

The office had already been closed, and Lucas smoked cigarette aller cigarette, Mikayla could not stand the thick stroke.

“I know who the person is, Lucas. Please keep looking imo it for me,” Mikayla said. She walked to the door and was about to leave, thinking. ‘Should I talk to Carlos?”

Lucas was so lost in his thoughts that he completely ignored Mikayla. It was only when she was about to leave that Lucas came to his senses. He stubbed out the remaining half of the cigarette and flicked it in the air with his hand. Then Lucas stood up and apologized, “Alright then! Leave it to

Mikayla said, “T’m going! If I think of anything. I’ll call you.”

He replied, “Okay, Remember to let me know when you get married”

When Lucas saw that Mikayla had left, he looked at the ashtray in frustration. It was filled with cigarette butts,

Mikayla emerged from Lucas‘ office and headed straight for the Salvatore manor. Tomorrow would be Monday. She would needed for the next day. She needed to get to bed early so she would be in better condition to face those people tomorrow,

prepare

the

reports she

On Monday, Salvatore Group had a regular board of directors meeting. Now that Mikayla was a key figure in the company, the directors were bound to pay more attention to her. After all, a lot of money was at stake.

Less than 20 minutes after arriving at the company, Mikayla was called to the board meeting room. When she finished reporting on her work’s progress, every director frowned.

Mikayla naturally knew that they were unhappy with her for not reporting the actual progress of her work. Jorge reminded her to do so to guard against those with ulterior motives.

She only had three months to meet her goal and then explain it to the board of directors. If something went wrong, the loss would outweigh the gain. The more people knew, the harder it would be to fix.

“It’s been over a week, and your department only made such little progress Shawn snapped as he leaned against the leather chair.

Graham also chimed in on Shawn’s comment. He scoffed, “Mr. Salvatore, even though she’s your daughter, it’s inappropriate to joke around like that! We’re at work, not at home! She has made so little progress in one week. Does she consider us old fools!”

“Don’t worry, directors. I have no intention of deceiving you! We’ll see the results in three months. It’s only been a week. I hope you can be more patient,” Mikayla said modestly, knowing she could not confront Shawn and the others directly,

Tm afraid Mr. Salvatore’s daughter is so busy fooling around with men that she has no time or space to think about her previous promise.”

Chapter 57

Alexander Schwartz, who had not spoken before, spoke harshly as he glanced sideways at Mikayla, who was standing at the end of the meeting

room

“Mr. Schwartz, what do you mean?” Jorge asked. When he heard Alexander talking about Mikayla’s innocence, he became ster

“Did you not read today’s paper? I happened to bring one with me when I came here!” Alexander said, handing Jorge the newspaper he was holding

in his hand.

Other people sitting in the same row as Alexander saw the newspaper’s contents as he handed it to Jorge. The enlarged words and clear pictures made Mikayla realize at a glance that those were photos of her and Maxius going out to dinner and then to Watermill Cove to see his house the night before.

It was not hard to guess the content. It was mostly abour Mikayla, a skittish woman who was about to marry the eldest son of the Ludwig family but had a late–night date with a man from her company.

Jorge looked solemn after reading it and handed it to Mikayla.

A small news agency broke the news. The content was more serious than Mikayla had speculated. It was the same as her speculation and revealed that the Lindstrom family might have broken off their engagement with Mikayla due to her having a new sweetheart. The ambiguous description made people’s imaginations run wild. I could also make people skeptical of Salvatore Group

What had happened the night before yesterday could have been revealed early yesterday morning, but the adversary had waited an entire day and had not released the news until Monday. It showed their intention to exploit the situation for malicious purposes. Whether their goal was to drive Mikayla out of the company or push Salvatore Group to the brink remained unclear.

“I never imagined Mr. Salvatore’s daughter would be juggling work and secretly dating two men. Quite the busy bee. If she messes up at work, it wouldn’t be surprising!” Shawn’s tone dripped with sarcasm

Tommy, who was conservative, slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed. “I’ve never heard of such a thing, Mr. Salvatore! Even though I only hold a small amount of shares, it’s still money! Our family isn’t as wealthy as the Salvatore family. We can’t allow your daughter to behave recklessly like that!” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

If those people kept talking g like that. Mikaude

that, Mikayla would be forced to leave Salvatore Group, even if Jorge was the chairman of the company. “Please, trust me, directors. He’s just my assistant. He recently returned from abroad and had no place to stay. That’s why I arranged a house for him. Please, just give me one day, and I assure you I’ll resolve this matter properly!” Mikayla asserted

“You better tell the media about it. If you can’t handle it well, don’t take up space in the company Go home and be the eldest daughter of the Salvatore family! We’ll let this matter slide for Mr. Salvatore’s sake, Shawn said. He showed no mercy, even though Jorge was still there
