Chapter 137: Chapter 137

The two were about to leave when Wendy Wallace came running over, "Paige Sterling!"

She stopped Paige but then didn’t know what to say.

After a while, she hesitantly spoke, "Paige, I’m sorry. I had some misunderstandings about you earlier and posted some negative things about you online. I’ve since deleted them. If you need, I could also issue a statement to apologize and admit my mistakes. Please talk to Young President Chambers to not freeze me out. I’m not young anymore, and if I get sidelined again, I’m finished...

In a brother’s eyes, a sister is always innocent.

Now Evan Chambers feared Paige might be deceived by Wendy Wallace’s sweet words, so he said, "Ignore her. Freezing her out was a company decision. An artist who can’t bring benefits and can’t even manage herself must pay the price."

It turned out that Evan Chambers was overthinking.

In front of Wendy’s pitiful act, Paige was truly ruthless.

"I’m not in charge of the Chambers Group, so what’s the point of begging me?"

Then she turned to leave.

Wendy rushed forward trying to grab Paige.

Evan Chambers immediately stood in front of her, and his assistant quickly pulled Wendy away, "What are you trying to do?"

Wendy pleaded, "Paige, I’m begging you! Please spare me! You were born a wealthy lady, you can’t understand the struggles and hardships of people like us at the bottom. If I’m blacklisted, I’m truly finished, I’ll die, Paige, I really will die!"

Paige squinted her eyes, "If you know it’s hard, you should cherish it. No one owes you anything, just because you’re having a tough time, doesn’t mean they have to put up with your nonsense."

Her gaze was even colder than Evan’s, "And, if you want to die, that’s your business. What does it have to do with me?"

Afterward, she left with Evan Chambers.

Wendy stared hard at her back until she couldn’t see it anymore.

Unexpectedly, Wendy really pulled a major stunt.

Paige and Evan Chambers hadn’t even finished their meal when Evan’s assistant rushed in.

"Young President, something happened!"

Evan Chambers frowned and looked at the assistant.

The assistant glanced at Paige, and Evan said, "Go ahead."

The assistant continued, "Wendy Wallace somehow got onto the Chambers Group rooftop and threatened to commit suicide, and even started a live stream. Now it’s a huge frenzy."

Wendy, being a Chambers artist, on their rooftop, threatening suicide, and importantly, she kept mentioning in the live stream that she had offended some bigwig and was being blacklisted, couldn’t live on, and wanted to die...

Online speculation ran rampant, all claiming that Paige used her connections to blacklist Wendy, pushing her to the brink.

No matter how overboard Wendy’s previous rumors were, with this suicide scene, she turned into a sympathetic victim.

Evan Chambers’ face was grim, "Paige, you go ahead and eat, I’ll handle it. I won’t let her cause trouble for you." Newest update provıded by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

Paige lifted her eyelids, "I’m full too, let’s go together."

After all, it was just a high school classmate, with no deep connections.

Had it not been for this high school reunion, she would’ve forgotten she even knew someone like Wendy Wallace.

So why was Wendy targeting her so much, what deep grudge was there?

Now, using suicide and public opinion to attack her, forcing her hand, did Wendy really think the world revolved around her?

When Paige and Evan arrived at the Chambers Group building, many onlookers were gathered outside, police cars and fire trucks had arrived, Wendy had indeed caused a major scene.

Julian Hawthorne also drove over. Seeing Paige, he immediately went up to her.

Evan Chambers glanced several times at Julian’s hand holding Paige, "Mr. Hawthorne, could you please let go of my sister?"

Julian replied, "She’s my wife."

Evan scoffed, "Did the Chambers Family agree?"

Not only did the Chambers not approve, Jared Sullivan probably wasn’t too happy about it either.

It wasn’t that there was any bias against Julian, it’s just that every doting brother or father never likes the man who takes their sister or daughter away.

But what could they do if Paige was willing?

Julian pursed his lips, "Beau agrees."

Paige nodded, "Yes, I agree."

Evan retorted ungraciously, "Little girl siding with outsiders."

Paige looked around, "A female artist’s suicide gathers all the major company’s presidents to the scene, truly giving her face."

Clearly, Wendy couldn’t help but be famous.

Though it’s controversial fame, it’s better than remaining unnoticed.

Wendy was probably thinking the same.

But ultimately she’d miscalculated, thinking controversial fame would bring her the popularity she wanted?

Some people are destined to only be infamous, never famous.

Paige turned to Julian Hawthorne, "Mr. Hawthorne, I recall you had an important meeting around this time, right? You should head back."

"And my dad is likely heading over to join the commotion, you should intercept him."

If possible, Paige would even take Evan Chambers away.

But here at the Chambers Group, Evan obviously couldn’t stay away.

Seeing Julian not moving, eyes intently on her, Paige urged him.

"Is this small matter worth abandoning a room full of shareholders and directors? Be good, go back quickly."

Julian still looked a bit reluctant, "If I go, promise you won’t do anything reckless."

Seeing Julian so obedient to Paige, Evan nodded in satisfaction.

But why did it feel like his sister was the domineering CEO, while Julian seemed more like the delicate spouse?

Julian left to return to his meeting, resisting the urge to watch the live stream.

He knew Paige didn’t want him there, likely because she needed to handle the Pandemonium.

If he stayed, it would just hinder Paige’s performance.

When Paige and Evan were about to enter the lobby and head to the rooftop, they saw Skylar Hughes also about to go up.

There’s always no shortage of this woman when there’s drama.

Skylar looked at Paige with a worried expression, "I saw it online, worried something might happen and drag you into it, so I came to check."

Paige said nothing. In the elevator, Skylar tried to persuade Paige.

"Paige, no matter what demands she makes, just agree first, calm her down. If she really dies, not only would you be hard-pressed to escape, but the Chambers Group would also be implicated."

Then she glanced at Evan, "Evan-brother, am I right?"

Evan gave her a faint look, quickly withdrawing his gaze, and asked Paige, "How do you plan to solve this?"

"I’ll handle it as necessary."

The elevator arrived, and Paige stepped out to go to the rooftop.

Skylar also wanted to go up, but Evan stopped her with security, "No irrelevant personnel allowed."

Skylar’s expression immediately turned sour, "Evan-brother, why can’t I go up? Paige is so impulsive, I could persuade her if something went really wrong."
