"She is my..." Arthur began to claim. "Ex," Chloe interrupted sharply before he could finish. "That's the only connection we have." Gasps spread through the surrounding guests. So this stunning woman was Arthur's former girlfriend? Then who was the woman who had been clinging to Arthur's arm all evening? Ex? Current girlfriend? Joseph frowned upon hearing the word "ex." He instinctively glanced at Eugene, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "If she's your ex, that means your relationship has ended?" "We..." Arthur struggled for words. He and Chloe were already divorced—it was far more final than a simple breakup. "Obviously. We have no connection anymore," Chloe stated coldly. "That's why I'm confused, Mr. Myers. How dare you throw around accusations without knowing any facts? Isn't that unreasonable?" She couldn't help but laugh mockingly. "No matter how wealthy your family is, you should know that slander carries consequences." "Chloe, you—" "Hey there, let me ask you something," Landon cut in, stepping forward and giving Arthur a condescending pat on the shoulder. "Where do you get the confidence to act like Ms. Lewis can't survive without you?" Arthur froze, then quickly shrugged off Landon's hand, glaring at him. "Who exactly are you?" Landon cleared his throat softly and adopted a solemn tone. "I'm Landon Voss. And just so we're clear, I happen to be Ms. Lewis's current..." He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his voice deepening as he met Arthur's shocked eyes, and emphasized, "Boss." The moment Arthur heard the word "current," his clenched fist almost flew out. Boss? Chloe's boss?Arthur frowned deeply. He refused to believe it. Since when did Chloe have a job? "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no way—" Landon simply laughed. Just then, Virginia and Mark approached. Recognizing Landon, Mark greeted him with deep respect. "Mr. Voss." "Well, well, someone actually recognizes me," Landon said, throwing a mocking glance at Arthur. "Why don't you introduce me properly to this man?" Mark stepped forward and said to Arthur, "Arthur, you truly don't know who this is?" He sighed, feigning disappointment. Mark belonged to the same generation as Arthur's father. Back when the Ford family wasn't as influential as the Myers, they never had the chance. Now that opportunity had come, he wouldn't have missed such a perfect opportunity to show off. "Mr. Voss is the head of Cosmos Group. He rarely appears in public—you'd normally only see him during high-level business negotiations." Mark added pointedly, "Oh, right, I forgot. Your Myers Group hasn't managed to secure any collaboration with Cosmos Group yet, so it makes sense you wouldn't recognize him." Head of Cosmos Group? Arthur was completely stunned. He had been trying to establish contact with Cosmos Group for months, always hitting dead ends. Now, the person in charge stood right before him. And he had just accused him of all sorts of things. Arthur stood frozen, utterly speechless. Landon watched him, his smile widening. Madilyn was equally shocked upon hearing "Cosmos Group." That name was etched clearly in her mind—the Myers family's most anticipated upcoming partnership was with Cosmos Group. Cosmos Group represented a major challenge for Myers Group. If they could secure a long-term contract, they would dominate numerous industries.And behind Cosmos Group stood the world's richest man. But they had never managed to meet anyone from Cosmos Group's upper management—until now. The person in charge stood right in front of them. The most shocking part? He had just declared himself Chloe's boss. So, did Chloe work for Cosmos Group? Or was she privately employed by this "Mr. Voss"? What exactly did she do for him? "Mr. Voss, I didn't expect to see you at this event," Mark said with an ingratiating smile, sneaking another glance at Arthur. "Would you perhaps be available for drinks after the auction?" Landon simply smiled without committing to Mark. He turned back to Chloe and teased, "Chloe, your ex truly lacks class. Publicly throwing around accusations without checking facts?" "That's all he's good at—throwing around accusations." Landon laughed openly, showing Arthur zero respect. Right before everyone, he formally introduced Chloe. "This is Chloe Lewis, a designer we specially recruited for the LOVE brand under Cosmos Group. Her work is about to be officially launched." Landon raised his voice, ensuring every guest could hear. "I'm sure you've all noticed her gown this evening. This is from one of the collections our LOVE brand is about to reveal!"
