Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 91

Linda ended the call and looked toward the figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. Christian stood upright with his back to her, a quiet tension hanging in the air around him.

Linda sank onto the couch, her tone heavier than she realized. "Someone is clearly targeting Annie this time. I've asked around for Maeve's opinion. Now that she's knee-deep in public backlash, I doubt she'll let this matter slide."

Christian didn't reply, nor did he turn around. The office was so quiet that the soft hum of the air conditioning was the only sound in the room.

He figured that Annie must be devastated right now. Not only had she been betrayed, but she now had to endure the accusations that were leveled at her.

His hand tightened at his side without him noticing it. A sharp ache spread across his chest, as if an invisible hand were squeezing his heart.

He wanted nothing more than to envelop her in his embrace and assure her that he would be there for her. However, he knew that it wasn't the right timing.

If he was going to take down the ones targeting her, he needed them to reveal themselves completely.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Michael pushed open the door and presented a document to Christian. "Mr. Parker."

Christian took the file and glanced through it. The numbers laid the entire situation bare. Ever since Maeve's pregnancy had been exposed, her popularity had risen significantly. All of her social media accounts had gained at least 10% of followers.

Christian smiled indifferently. "Not bad."

Linda almost wondered if she'd misheard him. She had no idea what game Christian was playing.

After all, shouldn't he focus on getting Annie away from the chaos? Why was he suddenly interested in Maeve's rising popularity? Was he really just going to leave Annie to fend for herself?

The entire situation seemed absurd to Linda.

Christian didn't seem to notice her disbelief. He merely tossed the document aside and ordered, "As long as EVL runs normally, that's all that matters."
