Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2629: Chapter 2638: Almost Fleeing in Panic

In the end, Olivia Lewis was specially invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony as the spokesperson for the Prada show, leaving Leah Rivers without her justification, meaning she couldn’t ask for Natasha Phillips to join her on stage.

The media focused their questions almost entirely on Olivia Lewis on stage.

Leah Rivers sat next to her, seemingly invisible, as all the spotlight was overshadowed by Olivia Lewis. Jealousy gnawed at her, and she quietly clenched her hands under the table, not even realizing when her nails dug into her skin.

As soon as the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, she left with an unsightly face. She didn’t even greet Alexander Sinclair, her expression akin to swallowing a fly, utterly embarrassed.

”Haha, did you see the look on Director Sam’s face before she left? It was priceless.”

”Haha, she was so arrogant before, and now it’s like she got slapped in the face. It’s hardly surprising her expression was so bad. Weirdly enough, I’m finding it so satisfying.”

”Me too. She always has that stuck-up attitude in the company, and now she got slapped in the face, can’t act all high and mighty anymore.”

”Hey, I heard she’s about to get engaged to... Luckily it’s not Young Master Sinclair. I can’t imagine what kind of man could tolerate her Princess syndrome.”

”For shares, there’s always someone who can tolerate it. It’s not like Young Master Sinclair needs to put up with her, obviously it wasn’t him. I heard she once went on a blind date with Young Master Sinclair, and he rejected her. She probably harbors resentment, which is why she stirred up all this today. Maybe she wanted to embarrass Young Master Sinclair, but ended up embarrassing herself.”

”The funniest thing was she jumped around all day, and that mistress didn’t get on stage either. Even the Chairman didn’t let the mistress get on stage, hahahaha, so humiliating.”

...

Whispers and discussions occasionally drifted into Alexander Sinclair’s ears, and he tried his best to pretend he didn’t hear them.

But those voices were too piercing, each word striking at his self-esteem. He pressed his lips tightly together, a look of humiliation on his face.

Damn it, how could things turn out like this!

Didn’t Leah Rivers say today would definitely make Adam Sinclair and Sydney Sullivan look awful? Is this how she swore they’d be embarrassed?

Why did it end up making them the laughing stock instead!

Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder, pressing on him, ”Alexander.”

This voice belonged to Benjamin Sinclair!

The discomfort and frustration seething in Alexander Sinclair’s chest were forcibly suppressed. He turned around with difficulty, forcing himself to show a guilty expression before Benjamin Sinclair could speak, lowering his head to apologize first, ”Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Mom was just accompanying Leah shopping, who knew Leah insisted on coming here. Mom was worried before leaving, afraid... you’d be put in a difficult position because of us and asked me to apologize to you. Mom said if...”

Alexander Sinclair gritted his teeth and continued with humiliation, ”If Aunt Sullivan misunderstood you, she was willing to apologize to her and clarify things.”

Why!

He had successfully obtained shares of the Sinclair Corporation; why was he still only able to remain in the company as a secretary?

Why did his mom have to avoid Sydney Sullivan, always accommodate her, and only survive in the gaps thanks to Benjamin Sinclair’s pity?

When issues arise, why were they always the ones who had to apologize?

Why did they have to live so humbly!

Why, why, why!

Alexander Sinclair’s chest was tight with resentful fury, about to explode, and he kept his head bowed desperately, afraid Benjamin Sinclair would notice.
