Chapter 137 Embarrassed to the Core I glared at Melanie through the mirror and said, “You’re like aghost 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 forgetyou’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 myhands.
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 therestroom.
She saw my and Melanie’s confrontation and stood beside me.
Stella grabbed my arm and asked, “Ms.novelbin
Chloe, what’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?” Hepulled 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 behindmy back.
Your orders? Let me tell you something.
I don’t want to associate with anyone who listens to your orders.” “Don’t be stubborn, Chloe.

Otherwise, I’ll ensure you’re on the losing end and- Before he could finish, an indifferent voiceinterrupted him, “Is that so? I’d like to see who dares to say that.” Matthew turned around and sawAtlas standing hostile behind him.
Matthew paled, and his lips twitched.
Atlas stared daggers at Matthew, saying, “Who do you think you are? You’re incapable of dominatingthe Matthew stared at Atlas, then held Melanie and walked away.
“Let’s go!” While they left, Stella asked me, “Who were they?” I briefly answered, “My ex–husband.”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 previoussuppliers 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 all that.
I didn’t need to worry about Stella with Atlas present.
Still, I sensed Atlas had something else to say but didn’t bring it up out of consideration for Stella.
I My heart grew empty as I drove away, but I didn’t know why.
