Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 137

Tara responded without missing a beat, "Of course, we can scrap that old contract and draw up a new five-year advertising deal. I'll even throw in a 5% increase on the ad fee. But listen, all the commissions and perks that were supposed to go to Chloe have to go to her."

Tony was floored by how easygoing Tara was being. "Absolutely. Whatever you say goes," he replied eagerly.

Tara continued, "And there's one more thing."

"Go ahead," Tony urged.

Tara's gaze turned icy as she looked at Linda's pale face. "Fire this little homewrecker. Chloe shouldn't have to see her disgusting face every day." The crowd around them started buzzing with whispers.

"So, Linda really did climb her way up by being the other woman, stealing Chloe's childhood sweetheart. I always thought Lucas looked at Chloe a bit too familiarly. It turns out they were lovers before."

"Did you hear what Tara said? At Chloe's birthday party yesterday, Linda tried to frame her by faking a fall and making it look like Chloe pushed her. And she used her unborn child to do it. How conniving is that?"

"I can't believe Linda would stoop so low. But even if she's pregnant with a Moncada baby, the Moncada family doesn't acknowledge her." Linda stood aside, her eyes red from crying. "Please, you can't do this to me," she pleaded.

Linda's shoulders trembled slightly. She couldn't afford to lose this job. Even though Lucas was now the CEO, he wasn't rolling in money.

The last time they had that feast, nearly a hundred grand was charged to the company's account. When Joshua found out, he was furious and insisted Lucas report every expense from then on.

Despite Moncada International being a huge conglomerate, the Moncada family had cut off all of Lucas' cards and restricted his spending to force him to break up with Linda. He was left with just his manager salary, which was only a few thousand a month. Lucas loved to drink and party with his old friends, so that money vanished quickly. Recently, all their expenses had been covered by Linda's salary alone.

Tara, however, paid no attention to

Linda and turned to Tony

having someone so morally

bankrupt as a host isn't good for the station's reputation, right?"

Tony nodded quickly. "Absolutely. Money isn't the issue; our station has always put its reputation first."

Tony then walked over to Linda,

wiping his mustache. "Linda, you're a

top graduate from Columbia. Our little Riverbrook TV Station is too small for someone of your caliber. Please go to HR and submit your resignation."

Linda bit her lip. Her fingers were clenched tightly, nails digging into her flesh.

"Come on! Working with someone like you is bad luck."

"No wonder she gets along with Vivian; they're two of a kind."

"Are you waiting to be fired? Homewreckers really do have thick skins."

Knowing there was no way out, Linda didn't want to stick around and be the subject of more gossip. She headed straight to HR.

After Linda left, Tara took Chloe by the hand and led her to the hallway.

Chloe suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Mom."

Tara was surprised. "Why are you apologizing, sweetheart?"

Chloe explained, "Last night, I made sure Leah didn't call you."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Indeed, Leah had moved from the 87th floor to the 88th last night. She had come over to chat with Chloe, who specifically asked her not to inform Tara about today's events.
