Chapter 1195 - 1234: Talking Nonsense
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 handsome, carrying an allure of forbidden desire, and the woman was gentle and vibrant, with skin so fair that even other women couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.
"You’re lying, aren’t you? I heard that her husband passed away a long time ago," Mrs. Tan said. "You must have fallen for some trick this woman played on you, ready to be some sort of cheap stepfather, huh? For someone like you, why bother with a woman whose husband died early? There are plenty of women in their first marriage for you to choose from. I could even get my husband to introduce you to some 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 women? In Falling City, many socialites were eager to join the Kinston Family. Did Kyle really need to care about some 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 mean to say that just because he’s dressed well, he’s a CEO? Nowadays, all the business cards are printed with some 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 came from Falling City to G City. There were news reports about it a while ago. If you still don’t believe me, 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 moment, Mrs. Tan recalled that her husband had indeed mentioned him before, saying that the Kinston CEO from Falling City was coming to G City for some kind of corporate merger, something the city was eager to promote. She’d heard it before and forgotten, since her life had nothing to do with such mergers 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 home and wait for the court summons."
Mrs. Tan was startled, her face turning colorless. If that charge were proven, it could mean 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 stammered for a long time but couldn’t say a word, only trembling more violently.
