The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 124

The moment Mr. Ratcliff finished speaking, the security guards jumped into action, quickly closing in on the people holding banners. Chaos broke out in the crowd. Some tried to run, but the guards blocked every exit.

Mr. Ratcliff leaned on his cane as he walked into BlackOak and took the elevator straight up to the research department.

Reese was waiting in the elevator lobby, her face tense. She’d noticed the commotion downstairs right away, but she never imagined it would bring Mr. Ratcliff here in person. Even more unexpected was that he’d actually stepped in to clean up the mess for her.

“Don’t worry,” Mr. Ratcliff said as his bodyguards helped him out of the elevator. For once, there was a gentle smile on his face. That look instantly reminded Reese of the first time she’d met him—kind, warm, almost grandfatherly.

But everything had changed since then. Who would’ve thought things would end up like this between them? The thought made her sigh at how unpredictable life could be.

“I’ve already told the PR team to take care of the media circus,” he said. “And I’ll find out who’s behind all this trouble. I’ll make sure your name is cleared.”

He put a comforting hand on her shoulder, his voice calm and caring. “That includes the Ramos Corporation.”

“Dylon tanked Ramos Corporation and left a total mess behind. You want to rebuild it, but the people he left are going to fight you every step of the way. Let me handle them.”

Reese froze.

Ramos Corporation had been everything to her grandfather and mother. She really did want to bring it back. But now there were predators everywhere, circling for a takeover. With all those saboteurs working against her and her own lack of experience running a company, she felt completely overwhelmed.

Mr. Ratcliff noticed how stiff she’d gone. He knew, better than anyone, that his family owed Reese a lot.

She’d always been a good person. He’d never doubted that.

She couldn’t bring herself to refuse him anymore. She simply nodded. “Okay.”

At that moment, Ratcliff Global’s official account posted a long statement: “Ms. Sofia Meyer has never been in a romantic relationship with Mr. Ratcliff. Any public appearances together were purely for business. Mr. Ratcliff is married and there was never a third party or infidelity involved.

“In addition, Ms. Sofia Meyer left Ratcliff Global because she deliberately tried to harm the Ratcliff family’s unborn heir and manipulated Mr. Ratcliff’s son. Please stick to the facts and don’t spread or believe rumors.”

“If anyone continues to spread lies about Mr. Ratcliff’s private life, Ratcliff Global will take legal action.”

In less than ten minutes, the comments section exploded.

#SofiaMalicious and #SofiaManipulatesChildren shot straight to the top of the trending list. The same people who had been dragging Reese before now turned all their anger toward Sofia. The outrage was so intense, it almost jumped off the screen.
