After he left, Darcy gave a snort, "Ms. Elowen won't step down that easily. She will definitely have a full-on showdown with Evelyn."
"Let them fight it out. We'll just be the bystanders reaping the benefits." Lily chuckled.
Aurelia sipped her coffee, whispering, "We need to keep an eye on the Marketing Department. We can't let Mr. Louis stir any trouble behind our backs."
"Don't worry. If there's anything going on in the Marketing Department, Jesper will let me know right away." Lily assured.
After lunch, they returned to the office, and Aurelia checked her WhatsApp.
The Muse Club group chat was buzzing.
During last night's Halloween party, Elowen was caught passionately dancing and kissing Mr. Foster, publicly showing Mr. Leopold being cheated.
There were videos for proof.
Aurelia gasped, thinking that Elowen must have been drunk. She knew Elowen's tolerance to alcohol was pretty poor.
Despite the CEO's frequent appearances with Evelyn in public, such outrageous scenes had never occurred before.
That was the cunning side of the CEO. He always kept his affairs discreet, giving him the freedom to deny involvement.
Elowen had definitely dropped a bombshell this time, providing the CEO with another excuse to call off the engagement.
Just as she was pondering, her phone rang. It was Elowen asking to meet at the cafe downstairs.
By the time Aurelia arrived, Elowen was already there, looking haggard, without any makeup.
"You heard about the party last night, didn't you?" Elowen asked.
Aurelia nodded, "I saw it in the Muse Club group chat. Were you drunk?"
Aurelia lowered her voice, outlining her plan of action.
Elowen nodded, a cunning smile on her face, "I understand."
...
That evening, Elara brought Elowen to the Stirling mansion for an apology visit.
Coincidentally, Fredric was also there. He had found out that the online trolls targeting Jelena were hired by Sheryl and was complaining to Jessica, obviously intending to divorce.
Seeing Elowen, he smirked, "Girl, you had too much to drink last night, didn't you? Your video with Foster has circulated all over high society. It's quite scandalous, and it's not a good look for our Leopold."
Elara shot him a glare, "Enough, Fredric. You haven't even cleaned up your own mess, so don't add fuel to the fire."
Jessica sighed heavily, "Why can't any of you children give me some peace?"
