Chapter 131

Gabrielle Winston bit her lip, her face etched with frustration.

"Are we just letting the online scandal slide?"

Ethan Winston snapped out of his thoughts, his expression indifferent.

"The buzz will fade eventually."

Right now, securing control of the company was his top priority.

"Fine." Gabrielle answered half-heartedly.

Her plan to force Sophia Laurent into a public apology had failed.

Her stiletto heels clicked sharply against the floor.

She couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Suddenly, Gabrielle's eyes lit up.

If her brother was so certain Sophia wasn't pregnant, then her visit to the OB-GYN...

Could she be carrying a bastard child?

Ethan noticed her shifting expression and frowned.

"I'll buy you that jewelry collection you wanted last time." He handed her a check. "Stay away from Sophia."

Most importantly, he needed to prevent her from stirring trouble in front of their parents.

"Really?" Gabrielle's face instantly brightened. "You're the best, brother!"

She snatched the check. "Don't worry, I promise I won't bother her..."

Yeah, right.

Since when had Miss Winston ever accepted defeat?

After dismissing his sister, Ethan absently twirled the fountain pen in his hand.

It was a custom piece Sophia had gifted him for his birthday last year.

Posts about Ethan Winston and Isabella Evans gradually disappeared across platforms.

Anyone with eyes could tell Winston Corporation was pulling strings behind the scenes.

Though the posts were gone, the truth had already spread.

Netizens flooded Sophia's accounts with apologies.

Only Christopher Lowell's fans continued making noise.

Even if she wasn't the other woman, Sophia was no saint—why else would her own family despise her?

Christopher had such a gentle temperament; smashing things must've been an accident. How dare she call the police!

That vicious woman clearly wanted to ruin her own brother!

Just as the fans reached peak outrage, a new wave of exposés flooded the internet.
