Chapter 188 Unexpected Outcomes

When Eric started looking ticked off, Miles instantly toned it down, stepping back awkwardly before saying, “Hey, just joking, no offense intended.”

Kate suppressed a smile as she walked up to Miles, saying sincerely, “Really, I’ve got to thank you, Miles. Without you stepping in when you did, I’d still be in the spotlight for all the wrong

reasons.”

She truly appreciated Miles.

But after their last call, Miles had just disappeared. He wasn’t at the Davison Group, and no one could reach him at the Lowe Group either. It was like he’d poofed into thin air, which worried Kate.

Miles, trying to be chivalrous, said, “Look, you’re my muse and Eric’s wife. It’s on me to prote women from trouble. This mess? It’s my doing, and I can’t drag you into it.”

Miles was standing firm.

He understood what was at stake with Kate entering that international design contest. Thanks to his help, she’d skipped straight to the finals, catching everyone’s eye. But then, when that clash with Ruth over some design drafts turned into a plagiarism scandal, Miles knew his enemies. would jump at the chance to take him down.

A strike against Kate was a strike against him.

From where Miles stood, both the Davison Group and Kate had taken hits because of his moves.

Kate looked at Miles, feeling a whirlwind of things, and asked, “Thanks for that, but aren’t you worried about what your announcement might do to your company?”

Miles, with a flick of his head, confidently said, “Of course! There’s a mess waiting for me at the

office.”

Settling into a chair and crossing his legs, he said, “While I was away, some punks thought they could cause chaos on my

turf.”

“In Maridonia, coming out is no big deal. The overreaction in Haldoria and internationally was way over the top. Some folks want to stir the pot.”

“So, when I get back, Kyle and I have a few people to straighten out.”

Miles wrapped up with a proud tone, “And that MC guy, since their leader wasn’t there, we only ended up causing some damage to stuff. No one got hurt.”

This left Kate speechless.

She gave Miles a look of sheer disbelief. Despite the chill way he spoke, his words carried an

Just some property damage without any harm? Going head–to–head with people?

Kate couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly do Miles and his partner Kyle get up to?

Her attention then drifted to Eric.

Seeing the change in the conversation, Eric stepped in with a colder tone, “Let’s not get into this stuff in front of Kate. We don’t want to scare her off.

Immediately, Miles scaled back, the confidence he had just shown disappearing with Eric’s stern words.

He awkwardly scratched his head and turned to Kate with a forced smile, “Hey, I was just messing around earlier, muse. No need to take it to heart!”

Kate’s feelings were a mix of confusion and curiosity.

It was clear she really didn’t know much about Miles.

Then came Eric’s softer call. “Kate.”

He continued, more gently now, “Lucas needs to check out the footage from our last meeting. Got it on you? Can we show it to him?”

Kate took a brief pause, catching the drift of Eric’s request.

She responded with a bright smile and tablet, “Sure thing, just say when, and I’ll set it up for you.”

With that, she confidently approached the ward’s door and politely asked the bodyguard inside to step outside.
