Chapter 113: Chapter 113
The comments below exploded: "Last week at the amusement park, I thought I saw the wrong person, but it really was Landon Lawson and his illegitimate child."
"I saw them under the IT Tower too!"
"Could it be Vera Yates? But she doesn’t look like someone who has given birth."
"If it’s not Vera Yates, then it’s going to be a big joke."
Various bystanders started revealing information, and the matter of Evan Quinn being his illegitimate child was thoroughly confirmed. Now, they were more interested in who actually gave birth to this child.
"President Quinn, what should we do now? Some people in the company have seen Chloe, and the fact that you’re Chloe’s mother will soon be exposed."
Danielle’s worries were not unfounded.
"Find a way to suppress this news." Sienna Quinn quickly said, but Danielle’s young face, looking at the messages on her phone, turned slightly pale.
"President Quinn, I don’t think we need to suppress it anymore."
"Is the issue resolved?" Sienna suddenly became interested, thinking that for someone like Landon Lawson, if he wanted to suppress the matter, it would be a piece of cake.
Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief. Landon Lawson was not entirely useless after all.
"President Quinn... it seems a little different from what you imagined..." Danielle’s voice was hesitant, and after much hesitation, she handed the phone to Sienna.
Landon Lawson did issue a statement, but he emphasized that Evan Quinn was not an illegitimate child and even proactively posted pictures of their paternity test online.
Landon Lawson didn’t deny anything; instead, he admitted his relationship with Evan Quinn.
"Landon Lawson!" Sienna gritted her teeth, hissing the name through clenched teeth. Danielle shuddered beside her; President Quinn was angry, which was terrifying.
"Contact Landon Lawson!" Sienna squinted, wondering why Landon dared to reveal Chloe’s identity without notifying her, and what he intended to do.
Half a two-hour later, someone who knew the situation revealed that the biological mother of Evan Quinn was indeed Sienna. Now, Sienna was also trending.
Sienna looked at the man in front of her with a dark expression, yet he was still smiling at her, completely unaware of where he had gone wrong.
"Landon Lawson, is there nothing you want to say to me?"
"I assume you want to ask about the matters online, right? It’s just the truth; there is nothing to hide."
Sienna let out a cold laugh. Landon spoke so lightly, but he had no idea what Vera Yates might do if she found out about Evan Quinn, given her ruthless nature.
"If you truly think the rumors outside are unpleasant, you could publicly declare that we’re still married. I, Landon Lawson, lawfully wedded my wife, and Evan Quinn is the sole heir of the Lawson Group."
Going public? Sienna’s brow furrowed. Going public was out of the question. After all, she was currently the head of a project group at Yates Group, and with only two days left before the HR Group’s audit, revealing that she was his wife would render her credibility in the company null.
Moreover, the two groups were in a competitive relationship. A slight misstep could cause dissatisfaction.
Last time, she faced setbacks due to a design plan issue. She couldn’t afford the same mistake twice.
"No way?" Landon frowned. Was she so unwilling to reveal their relationship, or did she despise the title of being his wife?
The man sneered coldly, looking at Sienna with icy eyes: "What? Afraid that people will know you’re a married woman and it will affect the men outside?"
Sienna wrinkled her brow, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Felix Orwell, isn’t he pursuing you?"
Landon sneered, his face full of disdain. How dare he think about his woman?
"We’re just friends!"
After explaining, Sienna paused. Was she actually explaining this to Landon? Why was she explaining to him? Yet, for some reason, her first instinct was to explain.
Seeing Landon getting jealous of Felix Orwell, she secretly felt a little pleased. If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t be jealous.
Landon gazed blankly at Sienna, a faintly good-looking arc appearing at the corner of his mouth. Was she actually explaining to him?
He coughed lightly, and the earlier jealousy turned into sweetness.
"Our two companies are competitors. I don’t want this matter to affect my credibility."
Sienna’s words met with Landon’s tacit acceptance. The relationship between them was indeed delicate: "You shouldn’t work at Axel Yates’ place anymore."
"Why?" Sienna frowned. Why did he want her to leave Yates Group?
"Because I don’t like it!" For original chapters go to nοvelfire.net
"I’ve earned my position with my own abilities. Why should I leave?"
"Because you’re my wife!"
The seven words kept striking at Sienna’s heart. After Landon said them, there was a moment of silence as they stared into each other’s eyes.
A rush of warmth surged from within and burned up to her cheeks.
How did Landon manage to say such things? Didn’t he find it embarrassing?
Landon frowned; he must be crazy, absolutely crazy!
"If others find out that my wife is working at a rival company, what will they think of me?" Landon turned his head, and surprisingly, his face flushed.
The original joy turned into disappointment and slowly grew in her heart.
She knew that Landon would never truly treat her as a wife; it was only about saving face.
"What if you didn’t have the talent to hold that position?" Landon raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Sienna’s expression darkened.
"Let’s make a bet. If you don’t secure the HR Group’s cooperation, you’ll resign from Yates Group!"
"And if I secure it?" Sienna narrowed her eyes.
Landon stretched out his fingers, gently tapping the table, and his mouth formed a slow smile.
"Then I’ll give up custody rights!"
Sienna’s eyes suddenly widened. For a long time, custody over Evan Quinn had been something she couldn’t let go of. Here, Landon’s influence wasn’t something she could challenge. If he fought for custody, Sienna would surely lose. Right now, there was nothing more important to her than Evan Quinn.
"When has anything I, Landon Lawson, said ever been false?"
Looking at Landon, who arrogantly held his head high, full of self-assurance, Sienna waved a finger in front of him: "Empty words mean nothing. Who knows if you’ll change your mind?"
The smile on Landon’s face from a moment ago turned into a scowl the next.
"You don’t trust me?" Could the things he said be false? Sienna was challenging him, making it a blatant doubt.
Sienna looked up and gave a playful smile.
"Compared to you, I trust a written guarantee more." Saying this, she took out a piece of paper, failed to find a pen for some time, and then placed lipstick and an eyebrow pencil on the table.
