Chapter 614 All Problems Can Be Solved in Bed
Donovan figured that this whole thing was a one-man show orchestrated by Cynthia, but how did Cynthia know about Angela jumping off the building at Rebecca Residential Community?
Before long, Cynthia called, sounding a bit flustered, "Sidney still values our old friendship; he agreed to retract the article."
Donovan was silent for a moment. "You've helped me so much; I should give you something in return. What do you want?"
"Donovan, don't be like that. I'm willing to do anything for you for my whole life. Asking for a reward for doing something like this, what kind of person would that make me? Don't worry about it. As long as your Rebecca Residential Community is fine, I'm relieved," Cynthia said.
"Can you show me his article?"
"Sure, I'll ask him for it."
After hanging up, Donovan thought to himself: Cynthia is not someone to be easily offended. She's both insidious and ruthless; you never know when she might stab you in the back.
The article was sent over, and Donovan started reading it.
The article was well-organized and logically clear, detailing Angela's jump in a very thorough manner, suggesting it was a murder. There were also some words clearly intended to lower the property value of Rebecca Residential Community. One word in particular caught his attention.
Generally speaking, this word was more commonly used in Cynthia's hometown, and rarely in Maple Valley. Cynthia had liked using this word since high school.
No need to ask, Donovan knew Cynthia had written this article herself. She had orchestrated the whole drama!
If it weren't for the fact that she still had Jake in her hands, her life would already be ruined.
Donovan and Charles took Cynthia out for a meal, and during the dinner, both of them were very warm towards Cynthia.
Cynthia was smug, thinking she had succeeded this time and left a good impression on Donovan.
Moreover, she believed she had done Donovan a big favor this time. If Rebecca Residential Community became unpopular and Donovan lost money, that would be a big deal, so Donovan had to thank Cynthia on the surface.
Both Donovan and Cynthia understood one thing: a murder had once occurred at Rebecca Residential Community. Cynthia had mastered the art of manipulation. This time, she had been appeased, but if Donovan didn't meet her demands next time, she would bring up the old case again. If the houses couldn't be sold, it would be a big problem.
Cynthia was indeed much harder to deal with than Paisley.
Afterwards, Donovan went to a meeting at the Stellar Corp and then went home.
It was around evening when he got home.
Chloe had just returned from work.
Donovan was sitting on the couch, scrutinizing her.
"Still mad?" Donovan teased Chloe, mocking her.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for a few days, and because of the silent treatment, all the unspoken emotions had turned into longing.
On the way back, Donovan kept thinking: Chloe really knows how to hold a grudge, not calling him at all. Since Chloe didn't call him, he didn't call her either. Anyway, he would deal with Chloe once he got home.
Now, unlike before, all their conflicts didn't accumulate into resentment; they were just small disagreements.
"Who would dare be mad at Mr. Blake?" Chloe said as she changed clothes and sat at the dining table. "Aren't you coming to eat?"
Only then did Donovan slowly sit down at the table. "Francis, eat more."
He sat next to Chloe, serving food to Francis.
Donovan and Chloe were very close, and Donovan's arm kept brushing against Chloe, but Chloe didn't pay any attention.
It was as if to say: Aren't all problems solved in bed?
