Chapter 138 Have You Figured Me Out?

Fiona looked at Darwin. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the day they met. At that time, her grandmother was already critically ill. A man who had collaborated with her grandmother contacted Fiona, saying he had found an expert who might be able to help her.

When Fiona arrived, she discovered that there was no expert at all, just that sleazy man. Before the man could finish his sentence, he lunged at her. Fiona was prepared and smashed his head with a flower vase, then escaped because she was too panicked. As she ran outside, she bumped into someone. She looked up in panic and saw Darwin's astonishingly handsome face. The sleazy man also chased after them.

It was the first time Fiona had encountered such a situation, and she was so frightened that her legs went weak. "Sir, please save me!" She grabbed Darwin's arm, looking at him with fearful eyes.
Darwin really saved her. At that moment, Fiona was immensely grateful and thanked him profusely.

And then Darwin, who hadn't spoken to her before, suddenly said, "Do you need money?"

Fiona was taken aback.

Then, from his cardholder, Darwin took out a gold-stamped business card and handed it to her. "My name is Darwin, I'm a wealthy man. I can buy you, and you can set your own conditions."

"What do you mean by 'buy me'?" Fiona's throat tightened.

"You're no longer a child, so naturally, you understand what I mean." Darwin stuffed the card into her hand. "I'll be waiting for your call."

Fiona went from feeling relief to feeling pure terror. The person who had just saved her treated her as someone who could sell herself for money. "I don't want your business card, and I'm not for sale!" Fiona threw the card back at Darwin. "I thought you were a decent person, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable!"

After saying that, Fiona ran away in tears. Three days passed and her grandmother's condition became critical. She saw Darwin for the second time, in the lobby of the Solomon building. She had vaguely remembered that Solomon's name was mentioned on the card Darwin gave her.

So, she went there to try her luck. When Darwin appeared, surrounded by a crowd, she stood there stiffly with all her self-esteem buried deep underground.

Darwin saw her but only gave her a chilly glance.

At that moment, Fiona felt that he must be angry and would no longer buy her. She was about to leave. Then a tall bodyguard approached. "Miss Woods, there are two million in this card. Mr. Solomon wants you to use it."

Later, Fiona learned that Darwin had never doubted that she would leave and never look for him again. From the very beginning, he seemed to have figured her out.

"Does it matter?" Fiona diverted her gaze and asked Darwin, "Darwin, what about your pride? Isn't marrying someone who doesn't love you demeaning for you?"

When she mentioned someone who didn't love him, Darwin's gaze darkened. "You loved me before, but now will you still love me?" Darwin let go of Fiona and walked towards the conference room.

Fiona stood in place, watching his retreating figure. She sighed and felt a little disheartened.

Liu was very tight-lipped. Although Darwin had said today that Fiona was his wife, he didn't utter a word to the CEO about it. But around dinner time, a chat group without Fiona’s membership erupted in excitement.

"Liu! Liu! Are you still in a meeting? Come out and join the gossip!" Liut was mentioned countless times.

Taking a bite of her meal, she found a moment to reply with one hand: "Has the sky fallen?"

"Isn't it? Secretary Woods and Mr. Solomon are trending overseas!"

"Oh my goodness! So Mr. Solomon ruined the Ross family marriage because he wanted to marry Secretary Woods?"

"Not just that! The revelations about Secretary Woods are mind-boggling! She actually cuckolded Mr. Solomon!!"

After reading a few messages, Liu lost her appetite.

"What nonsense are you all talking? You don't want to work with Solomon anymore, right?" Liu scolded angrily.

At that moment, a colleague dropped a pile of pictures with a clatter. They were all in English, but luckily Liu was good at English and quickly translated them.

"Breaking news: the truth behind the cancellation of the engagement between Miss Ross, the Ross family heiress, and CEO Solomon is that Darwin has had an improper relationship with his secretary for a long time, and after breaking off the engagement, they are already preparing for marriage!"

The comments below were filled with astonishment.

"That's the Ross family's princess, right? Has Darwin gone crazy?"

"And that secretary, when Darwin came to our side to discuss cooperation, he was always very intimate with her. He would even touch her thighs during the meetings!"

Liu found it outrageous. Every time they had a meeting, he was the one sitting next to Mr. Solomon. If anyone should be touching thighs, it should be her, not the secretary!

There were some other posts causing a heated discussion.

"Hathaway Ross, after breaking off the engagement, returned to her country in desolation, tears streaming at the airport. It's heartbreaking to watch!"

The comments below were praising the beauty of the princess. And there were comments expressing sympathy for the princess. They also took the opportunity to criticize Fiona, who destroyed the perfect union and made the princess cry.

The screenshots that followed were even more absurd.

"Haha, let's see him becoming a laughingstock. A few years ago, he had a car accident, and his girlfriend quickly married into the European royalty. He found a replacement, but she fell in love with her childhood sweetheart and got pregnant before he found out. Now he is forcing the replacement to have an abortion and still wants to continue their relationship! It's safe to say that this man is better suited for wearing a green hat than being with Miss Ross, a beautiful angel with a kind heart!”

"What? The secretary got pregnant, and it's not Darwin's? That's too cruel, isn't it?"

“Disgusting.”

"People have their own evil to contend with! What good fortune for Darwin!"

“The princess is indeed beautiful, but the Armie Country tycoons are really chaotic!”

These contents made Liu's heart start beating at a faster rate which caused her alarm. She went out to see for herself. It was only when she went out that she realized how big this matter had become. Fiona's name was even trending internationally.

Clicking on it, Liu saw a picture of Fiona and Darwin holding hands. As for the countless photos of Fiona working with Darwin, they were all gathered together. A quick scroll through the timeline revealed five years. What comforted Liu assistant a little was that although there were many criticisms of Fiona, there were also many people speaking up for her.

"I worked with Solomon and had interactions with Miss Woods due to work reasons. She's really a nice person. Looking at the timeline, she has been by Darwin's side five years ago. If there was really something between her and Darwin, Hathaway would be the third party, right?"

"To be honest, even in this blurry picture, you can tell that this secretary is really beautiful!"

"No need to say it, if she wasn't beautiful, would she be able to captivate Darwin and give up her billions?"

"Just a little gossip, but Fiona is currently on vacation with Darwin on a southern island~" The accompanying picture was clearly taken secretly, with Fiona standing quietly next to Darwin, listening to a group of people talking.
