Chloe Bishop stared at Lana Rose's retreating back and wanted to curse under her breath.
No wonder she was furious. By walking away like that, Lana Rose made it look like she'd been bullied—like Chloe Bishop had done something to her. What would people think?
She'd been painted as a jealous, unreasonable villainess.

Chloe Bishop turned to look at Xavier Grayson. He stood surrounded by a group of senior executives, exuding authority and aristocratic poise, effortlessly overshadowing everyone in the room. No one dared to meet his gaze.
The executives, sharp as they were, gave Chloe Bishop a slight bow and quickly scattered.
See? They must all think she'd thrown her weight around as the "official wife" and humiliated Lana Rose into leaving.
