Chapter 145

Mikayla watched everything with cold eyes. Huxley's head bandages hadn't even been removed before Logan's family couldn't wait to deal with Huxley's situation.

Winona said gently, her pregnant belly already showing. "Uncle Jorge, Huxley's injuries are almost healed! We thought it would be good for Huxley to start working at the company soon."

The Lindstrom family was pressuring her, and she wanted to hold her head high within the Lindstrom family. She needed to expedite her plans. Mikayla's previous threats had delayed her. Huxley had to get into the company and perform well.

Today, she chose to come because Mikayla's husband was also present. She hoped his presence would make Mikayla more agreeable and give her a chance to get close to him.

Three days ago, Mikayla's wedding had nearly driven her insane with jealousy. It was so extravagant... Her wedding with Jaxon in Xosa was nothing compared to Mikayla's grand affair. Their wedding had barely made a splash because of Mikayla's high-profile proposal. Now, Mikayla's wedding was world-class.

Her past wedding now seemed utterly insignificant.

Everywhere she went, people gushed about Mikayla's wedding. Those who knew looked at her with scorn. As a daughter of the Salvatore Group, she had never endured such contempt. She used to enter stores and be treated like royalty, but now she had to listen to snide remarks from staff.

On the day of the wedding, she didn't get a good look at the man. Now, seeing him, she had to admit he was quite something.

Compared to Jaxon's gentle and courteous demeanor, this man was both noble and elegant. However, his eyes were filled with unwavering affection as he looked at Mikayla from beginning to end. How did Mikayla get so lucky?

Mikayla curved her lips into a smile. "If Huxley is ready to work, he can return to the company. But he'll need a different department." She didn't want Huxley to cause issues at such a critical time.

After a pause, Carlos turned to Winona with a slight smirk, "We should indeed thank you
