Chapter 137 Embarrassed to the Core
I glared at Melanie through the mirror and said, “You’re like a ghost that haunts me. What
are you trying to
pull now?”
“Hahaha! You’re so shameless, Chloe. He already has someone special in his heart, and
you’re tagging along to their dinner? Did you forget you’re a divorced woman? Do you
think you’re worthy of a wealthy.
man?”
“That’s not for you to decide. I advise you to be kind for your unborn child’s sake,” I
retorted while taking a paper towel to wipe my hands.
As I turned to leave, Melanie realized I wouldn’t entertain her. She stood in my way,
saying, “I’ll see how long you can keep this up, bitch. Sooner or later, you’ll be crying your
eyes out.”
When she said those words, Stella entered the restroom. She saw my and Melanie’s

happening?”
Her eyes darted between me and Melanie.
Melanie gave Stella a once–over and then smirked. “Hey, gorgeous. You should be wary of
the women around you. They might be interested in your man.”
Her words made me feel awkward. “Melanie, you’re going too far-”
“If anyone’s going too far, it’s you!‘ Someone interjected. When I turned to look, it was
Matthew. He approached Melanie, his voice low and dangerous, “Chloe, do you want to
pick a fight with her?”
He pulled Melanie into his embrace as he spoke. Then, he turned to me and continued,
“Don’t blame me for retaliating if you keep this up. Did you forget your company’s
suppliers only listen to my orders?”
I glared at Matthew. “Is that a challenge, Matt? If you’re a man, you should come at me
directly instead of scheming behind my back. Your orders? Let me tell you something. I
don’t want to associate with anyone
who listens to your orders.”

Stella frowned but quickly concealed her thoughts and pulled my arm. “Let’s go back to
our seats.”
She walked beside me and whispered, “Why were they so arrogant?”
However, I couldn’t answer because I felt humiliated. It seemed I needed to change these
suppliers as
soon as possible.
After returning to our seats, Atlas asked about my recent situation. I explained, and he
looked at me thoughtfully, saying, “I’ll give you a month to change all the previous
suppliers and resolve all the issues.”
“No problem!” I replied eagerly.
We left the restaurant after dinner, and I bid them farewell at the entrance. I didn’t want to
stay after what Matthew and Melanie pulled off. I was embarrassed about Stella witnessing
