From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 38

Darren frowned in annoyance, his eyes flashing with irritation. "What is it now?"

"This is absurd!" Howard shouted. "Sweet Love actually dared to ban me and kicked me out of the live stream!"

Who do they think they are? Howard-cursed inwardly. He was the distinguished heir of the Hinton family, the notorious pla**oy. In Greton, everyone had to show him some respect. That pathetic Director Pierce from Sweet Love? He'd be groveling at Howard's feet, and Howard wouldn't even be bothered to spare a glance. t now, just because it was an online chat, Oscar had the audacity to treat him like this.

Reluctantly, Howard complied. "Fine, fine! I'll wait in the reception area for you. Is that okay?

Howard quickly left, and as Darren sighed in relief, his phone buzzed again.

[I want to thank him for saving Nat today, so I'm sending him 300 thousand dollars.]

This was a timely reminder for Darren. Although Andrew hadn't guaranteed he'd be there, if not for him playing along, Natalie would surely have messed up big time. Darren felt grateful. After all, if his ex-wife embarrassed herself, it would make him look bad too. As for Howard, he had nothing to do with this. Darren believed it was his job to pay Andrew back, not anyone else's.
