From His Wife to His Uncle's Wife novel Chapter 235

Otto was getting more and more worked up. Right now, Clarkson Corporation was furious. They’d been called out and humiliated in public, then dragged all over the internet. People were accusing them of hiring shady employees and threatening to fire them on the spot.

How could the Clarkson family possibly let that slide?

Still, Otto couldn’t help feeling confused. The official statement should have calmed things down. Why did they have to go after his family’s business too?

Watching Wesley get chewed out made Perran uncomfortable. He tried to lighten the mood with a smile. “Otto, Wesley knows he messed up. I’ll talk to him again when we get home. But right now, shouldn’t we focus on what to do about the company?”

He tested the waters. “Jessie’s pretty close with Katie Clarkson, right? Maybe she could reach out and smooth things over. If it comes to it, I’ll go apologize in person.”

Otto pressed his fingers to his forehead. “I’ll ask, but Katie doesn’t really have a say. In the Clarkson family, it’s all about Hunter and Max. Especially Max.”

Everyone knew this whole hard-hitting response had Max written all over it.

...

When Jessie Goff saw the way things flipped online, she nearly cracked a molar. Eleanor was impossible to bring down. How did she always manage to wriggle out of trouble? Who was pulling strings for her in the background?

Jessie kept staring at that statement, an impossible thought creeping into her mind. Was Eleanor seriously tangled up with someone in the Clarkson family?

...

Katie saw the news too. She didn’t wait for her friends to ask. She grabbed her phone and marched straight into her dad’s office.

They’d fired her, sure, but nobody said she couldn’t step foot in the company.

“Dad, is that stuff on the news actually true?”

Hunter looked at her, face blank. “Katie, you’re not part of the company anymore. This isn’t your business.”
