None of them were willing to let her behave so independently—especially when it involved Ethan Sinclair. They were determined to break the two apart.Unwilling to let the situation slide, the executives escalated the matter to Frank Reyes.Meanwhile, Ethan had just arrived at the Express Hotel to pack up his belongings—he was preparing to move in with Clara that evening.As he was gathering his things, his phone rang. Seeing Frank’s name on the screen, Ethan’s expression tightened.He had made it clear after divorcing Maya that he wanted a peaceful, low-profile life.

Chapter 147: Ethan Sinclair is my Man
Clara drove to the office building with a cheerful heart, a rare smile lingering on her face the entire way. But the moment she stepped out of the elevator onto the executive floor, her expression shifted. The warm glow she carried was replaced by a cool, commanding presence—the composed, no-nonsense demeanor of a powerful CEO. She had returned to being Clara Walport: the poised, formidable president of Walt Disney Corporation. “Miss Walport, you’re here!” Sarah, her assistant, approached briskly. “Mr. Van Gogh and the other executives are waiting in the conference room.” Without breaking stride, Clara replied calmly, “I’m aware. Brew a coffee for me and bring it in.” “Yes, Miss Walport!” Clara moved with purpose, heels clicking across the polished floor. She reached the conference room, pushed open the doors, and walked in. The atmosphere immediately shifted. All the senior executives stood up in unison at her entrance. “Miss Walport!” “Good morning, Miss Walport!” Her comma
Chapter 146: Scandalous News Breaks
Clara nodded and quickly dialed the number, switching her phone to speaker mode. She was well aware that Ethan’s previous marriage had ended in betrayal—Maya had lied and cheated on him. Men who’ve been wounded that deeply often become wary and distrustful in future relationships. By putting the call on speaker, Clara wanted to make a point: she had nothing to hide. She wanted Ethan to see for himself that she was open and truthful, willing to handle even private matters in front of him. Ethan immediately understood her intention and found himself valuing her honesty even more. “Vincent, why are you calling so early?” Clara asked into the phone. On the other end, Vincent’s voice came through, clearly flustered. “Miss Walport, something terrible has happened!” Clara glanced at Ethan, then asked calmly, “What is it?” Vincent responded with urgency, “There's explosive news about you spreading everywhere! The media is claiming that Clara Walport, President of Walt Disney Corporatio
Chapter 145: Man of my dream, Ethan!!
Clara looked at Ethan with a soft, reflective gaze. “The moment I truly began to admire you was when I saw you sitting in the president’s office.”“I was honestly shocked. After all, I had promised the Reynolds family that I’d help freeze you out of the business world completely.”She let out a quiet sigh. “But there you were—suddenly promoted to president of Walt Disney Corporation. That alone proved your abilities far surpassed anything I had imagined. In that moment, I realized how naive I had been to underestimate you.”“If you had wanted revenge, everything I worked for over the past seven years could’ve been destroyed in an instant. But instead, you allowed me to stay on as your deputy. You never retaliated.”Clara’s voice grew softer. “Your ambition, your grace, and your sense of restraint... I’ve never seen those qualities so clearly in another man.”She smiled faintly. “That’s when I first started to fall for you.”Women often feel deeply when they encounter a man who is s
Chapter 144: Coming clean with the saddest past
Ethan had a growing sense that after Clara's family fell from grace, something deeply painful and complex had occurred.There had to be a tragic story behind it all—one filled with hardships and unexpected turns.Just as Ethan was preparing himself to settle in and listen to what he imagined would be a long, emotional recounting of her past...Clara suddenly said, “When I was 20, I became someone’s mistress—for three years.”The words hit Ethan like a punch to the chest.He was completely blindsided. He’d expected a slow buildup, a carefully unfolded confession—something that would only gradually reveal such a vulnerable truth.After all, that kind of admission was something most women would struggle to speak aloud. But Clara had said it plainly, with no trace of hesitation.Ethan sat frozen, stunned into silence, unsure how to respond.Clara’s expression remained composed, but tears shimmered at the corners of her eyes. She took another drag from her cigarette, trying to keep her emo
Chapter 143: Clara's background
Because Clara had feelings for Ethan, she was deeply concerned about the future of his unborn child with Maya. Whether the baby would be kept or not seemed tied to what kind of relationship Ethan and Maya might still have going forward.Ethan spoke honestly, “I’ve already discussed it with Maya. She’s decided to go through with the pregnancy, but she wants to raise the baby herself. When the time comes, I plan to fight for custody.”Clara knew that, in most cases, mothers were usually awarded custody after separation. She couldn’t understand why Ethan was so intent on taking custody himself—unless he genuinely loved children, she thought.Softly, Clara replied, “I really like kids too. Maya might have a difficult personality, but she’s beautiful, so your child is bound to be adorable.”She added with a smile, “Raising a beautiful child must be quite the experience.”She looked at Ethan with warmth in her eyes. It was clear she was trying to express her willingness to step in as a mate
Chapter 142: Renee's fate
During dinner, Ethan didn’t openly tell Corny about Renee’s affair. Instead, he danced around the subject, dropping vague hints that suggested something was amiss.At some point during the meal, whether deliberate or accidental, the conversation veered toward infidelity.All three of them—regardless of their differing views or gender—came to the same conclusion: once someone crosses the line and cheats, there's no going back. The trust is shattered forever.When dealing with a cheating spouse, they agreed there are really only two options: either walk away for good or pretend not to care and quietly pursue your own romantic interests on the side.But Corny wasn’t the kind of man who could play that game. Despite all the time he spent traveling for business, surrounded by opportunities, he had never once strayed. Not because he didn’t have the chance—but because he valued loyalty and commitment above all else.To him, love and marriage were sacred. And once that bond was broken, the on
