Chapter 3

The few of them immediately looked at one another and could not say a word, so they had no choice but to turn their eyes to Ethan Clark. "Mr. Clark!"

Seeing that, Ethan snapped, "Didn't you hear what Ms. Sterling said, hurry up, pack your things, and leave, so stop embarrassing yourselves here!"

The few of them had no choice but to leave.

The world finally became quiet, and only then did Ethan turn to me. "Honey, your temper has been a little big lately."

"Is my temper big, or is your management poor, Ethan Clark, the company has only been under your control for three months, and it has already become like this, so when I stopped your supplementary card, did you really have no clue why?"

When Ethan heard me bring it up myself, his eyelid immediately twitched. "I…"

He hurriedly tried to explain, but I raised my hand to stop him. "The fact that the Starlight project has failed to land for so long explains everything, and starting today, I will personally take over, so report any issues directly to me!"

"In addition, promote a new person from the secretary office, and Mr. Blake, it's time for you to take a rest!"

He understood my warning, and although he was angry, he still did not say much in the end.

"I'll go out and get busy first."

I took a deep breath, glanced at him, and nodded, then lowered my eyes back to the documents.

Probably because my arrival made him feel surrounded by danger, the project department soon ran into trouble.

"Ms. Sterling, Starlight signed the contract, and they signed with a new company that underbid us by only twenty cents!"

Hearing that, I was shocked, and immediately asked Grace Reed to come over. "What happened?"

"Ms. Sterling, this company is called Sunrise Group and was founded half a year ago, and its business overlaps heavily with ours."

"I checked the company information just now, and the legal representative is called Peter Collins."

Peter Collins?

I didn't know him, but the documents showed so many overlapping business areas, and although he was a strong competitor, no one in the industry had ever heard of him.

There was something wrong with this company.

"Keep investigating, especially the financial transactions between our company's internal accounts and theirs."

Grace Reed was extremely shocked, then immediately reacted and realized there was a problem inside the company.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why their price was only twenty cents lower than ours.

I tapped the table and gave her a look, then smashed my water glass on the floor and lashed out at her.

Grace Reed left with red eyes and a dejected expression.

After the news reached Ethan, he came in with a little cake to see me. "Look at you, it's just one project, so don't ruin your health with anger."

"Eat some dessert, and let your husband handle whatever comes up."

I neither agreed nor disagreed, and he sent me home.

On the way, Ethan was in a great mood, and as I looked at the scenery constantly retreating outside the window, I thought of the day I first met Ethan, which had been a nice day just like this.

I had given a lecture at the university, and after it ended, Ethan handed me a bouquet of flowers.

He blushed and couldn't say a word, only stuffing a note into my palm.

I had seen plenty of men trying to curry favor with me, but someone like him was truly a first.

On the note was an art exhibition, and he had also written down the time.

That unusual invitation interested me, and since it was on my way, I went.

Ethan was working there as a guide, and after I listened to his entire tour, I started dating him.

A man who was obedient and decent-looking was easy to handle, and after marriage, we had our daughter, but now that I was three months pregnant with our second child, Ethan had shed the innocence of youth and left behind only ambition and greed, which made him disgusting.

As soon as I entered the house, Grace Reed sent photos to my phone.

"Ms. Sterling, Peter Collins is Mia Collins's father, and Sunrise Group was founded half a year ago, with the initial funds transferred in by Vice President Clark, and the registered capital was five million."

When I saw the photo of Ethan and Mia Collins walking into an apartment complex together, I couldn't help glancing sideways.

Ethan was surprised. "What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

"Nothing, I just saw a photo and thought it was pretty ridiculous."

I held my phone up in front of his eyes. "Ethan Clark, explain to me why the woman who was fired is with you."
