บททั้งหมดของ CEO He is Paranoid: บทที่ 231 - บทที่ 240

Julian looked at her phone—it was still in a normal call state."Charles?" she called out. "Are you still there?"After a moment, the phone transmitted heavy and strained breathing, as if something was being deliberately suppressed."What's wrong? Say something," Julian said, feeling her heart pounding. An uneasiness enveloped her.The heavy breathing sounded painful, each breath adding to her anxiety."Charles, what's happening? Say something! Is something wrong on your end?" Julian asked urgently. For the first time, she felt how inconvenient a phone call could be. She could only hear his breathing, but she couldn't see what was happening on his side or even what he was doing.His breathing seemed to grow even heavier, and Julian could only worry and panic."Should I call your family now? Have them check on you?" It was the only solution she could think of at the moment.Just as she was about to end the call and prepare to call Vivienne, Charles finally spoke on the other end of the

A tall figure leaned against a gray Audi. Despite the simple white shirt and black pants, there was still an air of elegance and nobility about him. Ezra! Vivienne was taken aback, not understanding why he would suddenly appear here. Sensing her gaze, Ezra looked up and glanced in Vivienne's direction. When her figure entered his line of sight, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He then took a step forward and walked towards her. As he approached, Vivienne noticed that he seemed thinner. Although he smiled lightly, his eyebrows remained slightly furrowed. It was evident that Ezra had come to find her on purpose. "What's the matter?" Vivienne asked, wondering why Ezra had come here now. She had already made herself clear to him at the company, in front of Asher. The only thing left to discuss seemed to be the renovation of the villa. Could there be a problem with the villa's renovation? She had discussed the important points that needed attention during the handover, and she had m

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Ezra's words struck a chord with her, and she didn't have the courage to try it. If those photos were made public, what impact would it have on Asher? The entire Montgo family might be embroiled in a media storm."Do you think this is meaningful?" She felt a coldness spreading throughout her body, unsure of what the right course of action was.Looking at her face gradually turning pale and her hands trembling slightly as she held the photos, a complex emotion welled up inside Ezra. There was jealousy, unwillingness, and hope...Did she worry so much about Asher? How much did she truly love him? Ezra gently pushed a strand of hair away from Vivienne's cheek, tucking it behind her ear. "To you, this year may seem meaningless, but it's different for me. This year is my last hope."She stared at him, listening to his voice continue, "Vivienne, perhaps I could find many people who love me, but I can't find someone I can love. That's too difficult for me."

After calming Asher down, Vivienne finally had the opportunity to think about how to handle the situation. On one hand, the wedding date was getting closer, with only twenty days left. On the other hand, Ezra had made this demand: either the photos go public or the wedding gets postponed for a year!What she most wanted to figure out was why Asher was photographed in those compromising positions. After all these years, she had thought she knew everything about him, but now she realized that there were still many things she didn't know.After dinner, Vivienne purposely went to the study with Asher. While he was working on his computer, she opened her own laptop and bit her lip as she searched for posts about scandalous photos. These days, the internet was more developed, and such matters were becoming increasingly common, so it wasn't difficult to find such posts.After searching for a while, Vivienne spoke, "Asher, why do people these days like to discuss such things online? Just a fe

Vivienne's body stiffened as she reluctantly followed Ezra into the car. His words seemed to imply that their wedding with Asher might be postponed, and that he could eventually get what he wanted.In a dark corner not far away, a woman dressed in an ordinary black trench coat, wearing a hat and almost completely covering her face with a scarf, was cautiously holding a phone and recording the scene in front of her.No one noticed that this woman was none other than Scarlett, the subject of recent gossip magazines.Since breaking up with her wealthy boyfriend, Scarlett had lost many business deals and was now facing financial difficulties. Each piece of news was enough to fuel discussions for a long time. There were even suggestions that Scarlett might resort to acting in adult films to solve her current predicament, and she faced various mocking and ridicule.Scarlett watched the recording on her phone with a mixture of bitterness, amusement, and tears. These days, she felt as if she
