Replacing the billionaire’s wife Chapter 17
Martin looked at him. “Mr. Clem.” He said nothing. “Do you have any explanation?” The room waited. Mr. Clem opened his mouth. Nothing came out. His head slowly lowered. Martin allowed the silence to linger for several seconds before closing the file in front of him. “Very well.” He rose to his feet. “This meeting is over.” Without another word, he walked out. No announcement. Yet everyone in the room understood exactly what that silence meant. Back in the office, Mason stopped by Mia’s desk. “Thank you… for not mentioning me.” Mia simply smiled. “You already had enough on your table.” Mason chuckled softly. “Thank you.” He returned to his office, leaving Mia to continue with the mountain of files before her. Later that evening, Martin’s secretary informed Mia that the Chairman wanted to see her. Martin was still reading through a document when she got to his office. Without looking up, he spoke. “The next time you identify a flaw of th

The rest of the day passed in a blur. With Lily gone, most of her workload had been redistributed across the department. Mia barely had time to breathe before another file landed on her desk. By the time she looked up from her computer, the office was almost empty. She stretched her aching shoulders and packed her things. Tomorrow would be another busy day. The following morning, Scott Group was unusually quiet. Something had happened. Employees whispered among themselves as they walked through the hallways, careful not to be overheard. Barely thirty minutes into the workday, an email arrived. Emergency Meeting. Attendance Mandatory. Mia exchanged a quick glance with Mason before following everyone into the boardroom. Martin Scott was already seated at the head of the table. In front of him lay the Meridian Project proposal. He picked it up and placed it firmly on the table. The sound echoed through the silent room. “The Meridian Project,” he began, his voic

Martin Scott was seated behind his desk, reading through a file. Without looking up, he motioned toward the chair opposite him. “Sit.” She obeyed. For a few moments, the only sound in the room was the turning of paper. When he finally closed the file, he rested it neatly on the desk before lifting his gaze to hers. “What brings you here?” Mia drew a slow breath. “I came about Lily.” “I was the one who made the mistake.” Martin regarded her silently. “The contract details sent to the Sterns…” she continued. “I sent them. Lily had nothing to do with it.” He did not respond immediately. Instead, he leaned back slightly in his chair, studying her with the same expression he wore in board meetings. “Mia.” “Yes, Father?” “Why are you lying?” The words were calm. Matter-of-fact. Her fingers tightened slightly against her lap. “Father—” “Sending contract documents to clients is not part of your responsibilities.” She remained silent. “You couldn’t have made that mistake

When Mia finally returned home that evening, she dropped her handbag onto the chair and reached for her phone. She had barely unlocked it when a new notification appeared. An invitation. Curious, she opened it. You are cordially invited to the Hender Alumni Reunion. Her eyes moved to the bottom of the invitation. Hosted by Cara Hender. So Cara had finally sent her invitation. She wasn’t surprised. Ever since the summit, she had been waiting for Cara’s next move. Knowing her, it was only a matter of time before she found another opportunity to prove she had climbed higher than the woman she had always envied. Unfortunately for Cara… This time, things would be different. Mia locked her phone and placed it on the bedside table. Whatever Cara was planning, she would deal with it when the time came. The following morning, the vibration of her phone pulled her from sleep. She reached for it lazily. A message from Mason. Good morning. Mrs. Hender requested that you attend o

Mia managed to calm Lily down enough for her to speak. “Lily, what happened?” Lily took a shaky breath. “The Sterns and the Burketts were both competing for a project with Scott Group. The Burketts’ proposal was accepted, and I was instructed to send the contract details to them.” Mia nodded. “And?” “I sent it to the Sterns instead.” Mia’s expression changed. “I only realized when they replied asking about some of the details in the contract.” “How did you make such a mistake?” “I don’t know.” Lily’s voice trembled. “Their names were right next to each other on the system. I must have clicked on the wrong contact without noticing.” She looked down at her hands. “If the Sterns have received confidential details about a project they were competing for, this is serious.” “I know.” “Lily—” “If I lose my job here, my career is over.” Mia frowned. “Don’t say that.” “You don’t understand.” Lily’s eyes began to fill with tears. “The Sterns are one of the most po

A few minutes into lunch, Mason studied Mia across the table. “How are you coping?” he asked. “I hope nobody is stressing you out.” “I’m managing.” “But are you okay?” Mia looked up from her plate. “You always put on this tough-girl skin, but I know what you’re going through isn’t easy.” “I’m okay.” Mason sighed. “You know you don’t always have to be.” Mia gave him a small smile but said nothing. He knew better than to push her. The subject of her marriage alliance had not come up for some time. Her father had not mentioned it, and Ethan had not contacted her again. “Has Father mentioned anything about the marriage alliance?” Mason asked after a moment. “Has Ethan reached out to you?” “No.” Mason nodded slowly. Mia had deliberately kept the contract to herself. She had no intention of telling her family about its conditions, not yet, at least. She didn’t want her mother worrying or Mason asking questions she wasn’t ready to answer. As far as everyone knew,
