Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call
Chapter 182

Chapter 182 No Peace of Mind

The tension between Patterson Group and Graves Group has reached a boiling point.

However, Patterson Group's actions were despicable, and they decided to shut down every comment section where people criticized them.

Inside Patterson Group's office, there was an eerie silence.

James's face was ghastly pale, and Lamia was furious, having just vented his anger.

Lamia yelled, "Is this how you handle things? We spent so much money to acquire your company, and before Starlight Entertainment even made a move, you backed down. What use are you to us? Now, I want you to immediately replace a way to take down the news. I don't want to see any more scandalous reports about this incident!"

All staff hung their heads and remained silent.

Even the public relations department and the newly appointed director from Starshine Entertainment were speechless.

They were pale, and their voices stifled. No one dares to say a word.

Someone from the public relations department finally spoke up, "Mr. James Patterson's secretary blackmailed us for money. We've already given her three million dollars, and she stopped causing trouble. But someone from Starshine Entertainment had to offend Amanda.

"And now, not only have we offended Starlight Entertainment, but also Graves Group. Our Patterson Group's stocks plummeted as soon as the market opened..."

Someone from Starshine Entertainment couldn't help but argue back, "We didn't know Amanda is Baxter's wife. No paparazzi even caught a glimpse of her, and besides, to cover up Mr. James Patterson's scandal, we definitely need a bigger one to expose!"

Lamia's face contorted, and in anger, she forcefully threw her cup on the ground. The cup shattered to pieces.

She yelled, "I've been saying from the beginning that we should have arrested that woman for extortion. But you all gave her money. Who approved of that?"

The members of the public relations department exchanged glances and looked toward James.

James's expression grew even darker.

He thought, "I just treat the women outside as playthings, and when I am tired of them, I simply pay them off. But this time, the woman is the most foolish of all. How dare she threaten me? And things are out of control..."

James scolded, "That's enough. Do you want to make things even worse?"

Hearing this, Lamia reluctantly turned her head, suppressing her anger.

In the final analysis, it was all caused by James.

Christian, who had remained silent this whole time, seemed detached from the situation.

Even though the scandal involved his own family, he remained calm and composed.

The members of the public relations department looked at Christian and softly suggested, "Mr. Patterson, how about we take the initiative to apologize to the Graves family and seek reconciliation? It's better than letting things escalate further!"

Christian's eyes were pitch black, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

James nodded. "I think that's the only way now. It's best to have them cooperate and remove their explanations. Let your mother accompany you on this trip."

Lamia stood up abruptly and said, "I won't go. Isn't this embarrassing enough?"

Lamia thought, "Amanda is nothing but an actress, but the person she married is no inferior to my own husband. She has succeeded in both her career and love life. No wonder she has the audacity to ignore me and chat with Anastasia in the parking lot."

James glanced at her indifferently and said, "Fine, then don't go. Let's see what everyone has to say next. We're all in the same boat, and no one can escape!"

James stood up, snorted disdainfully, and walked out.

Lamia changed expression several times, trembling with anger.

She thought, "It was his fault from the beginning, and now this whole mess is starting to bring up my promotion history. Why is this happening to me?"

Just when Chad and Grace finally went abroad, Lamia no longer needed to observe anyone's reaction before acting in the Patterson family, but her husband still couldn't give her peace of mind! Christian remained silent throughout. He had already been accustomed to his parents' affairs.
