His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 181: How Dare You Rendezvous Right Under My Nose

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: How Dare You Rendezvous Right Under My Nose

Connor Grant truly lived up to his reputation as the top assistant to the Evercrest Group CEO; he quickly found out that Kiana Sutton was at the Lavonia restaurant in The Zenith Tower.

But before he could figure out who was dining with Kiana, Ethan Sinclair had already impatiently rushed to The Zenith Tower.

Ethan Sinclair’s face was downright terrifying, and the chill surrounding him made everyone involuntarily shudder as he passed.

That "out to catch a cheater" aura scared Connor Grant out of his wits.

Connor Grant was just about to send Kiana a WeChat message when Ethan Sinclair caught him.

"You dare try to tip her off and see what happens!"

Even if Connor Grant had a hundred lives, he wouldn’t dare risk it, and quietly put away his phone.

He silently chanted in his heart, "Amitabha, Young Madam, please let it be another woman you’re having lunch with, or we’re all dead today!"

But Ethan and crew were still a step late. By the time they burst into the restaurant, Kiana and Zoe Xavier were already gone.

"Where are they?"

Connor looked completely dumbfounded, "I... I don’t know!"

Seeing Ethan’s cold, penetrating black eyes, Connor immediately raised his hand and swore, "Fifth Master, I swear I didn’t contact the Young Madam!"

"Hmph, no need to guess, it must be Amy Manning!"

Amy Manning had just finished her meal and was about to drink her soup when she sneezed forcefully.

Huh, who’s thinking about me in broad daylight?

Just after getting excited for two seconds, she sneezed again.

Think once, curse twice, catch a cold the third time!

Her face changed instantly and she cursed, "Which bastard is cursing me?"

Ethan Sinclair yelled angrily, "Find her! I want to see what kind of charm this person has, making Kiana dare have a secret meeting right under my nose!"

On the other side, since Kiana Sutton couldn’t talk, she hardly chatted with Zoe Xavier during the meal.

Afterwards, Zoe suggested they browse the mall. Seeing it was still early, Kiana naturally agreed to accompany her.

Actually, Zoe wasn’t much of a shopper, but she really didn’t know much about Kiana yet, and wanted to use the opportunity to get to know her daughter-in-law.

The two walked into a clothing store, and Zoe picked out several outfits for Kiana to try on.

Kiana nearly lost her balance at the prices—she figured she’d better just look.

"Mom, I already have plenty of clothes at home. I think this outfit would look great on you, why don’t you try it?"

Zoe’s clothes were all custom delivered straight to her house by brands.

She definitely didn’t lack clothes.

Noticing Kiana’s discomfort, she let out a light laugh. "If we’re here to shop, of course we both need to buy something. It’s no fun if only one of us tries things on."

At that moment, the savvy sales clerk smiled at them, "You two must be mother and daughter, right? We actually have matching outfits. With your looks and figures, you’ll look amazing together."

Zoe was wearing sunglasses and a mask, so the saleswoman didn’t recognize her.

Even if she thought they looked alike, she figured a big star like Zoe wouldn’t be shopping for clothes herself, so she didn’t make the connection.

"Do you want to try on mother-daughter outfits with me?"

No matter if Zoe was a big celebrity or her mother-in-law, Kiana couldn’t refuse that request.

Kiana nodded; it was rare for her to shop with Zoe, and no matter if it was out of respect or some other reason, she couldn’t let Zoe pay.

She used to have quite a bit of money, but Ethan Sinclair’s brooch had already cost her a fortune.

If she really couldn’t manage, she’d just have to go to Quinn.

Kiana changed quickly, and when she came out in the new outfit, the sales clerk showered her with compliments.

"Wow, you look amazing! This dress was made just for you."

The dress was a pale pink, strapless, long gown with an open back, perfectly concealed by her long hair.

Kiana’s skin was so fair, and her shoulders and neck were gracefully shaped. When she wore the dress, she looked just like a little angel.

"Oh, isn’t that Kiana Sutton? You’re not at work and actually shopping for clothes here."

Kiana wasn’t expecting to run into Rosalind Joyce and Aura Sinclair at the mall; mother and daughter decked out head to toe in designer brands, strutting around obnoxiously. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Aura Sinclair had never liked Kiana; she couldn’t help but mock her as soon as she saw her: "Do you even know how much these clothes cost? Can you actually afford them?"

Rosalind was still holding a grudge against Kiana over the Albatross Fund vice-chair position. The moment she saw Kiana, she wanted nothing more than to devour her alive.

"Her salary at Evercrest Group isn’t even ten thousand. Ethan doesn’t like her and won’t give her spending money. She’s just here to keep up appearances and try on some clothes. There’s no way she could buy any."

Then Rosalind looked at the sales clerks, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you all—be careful she doesn’t mess with your clothes since she can’t pay. Also... is anyone allowed to try on the clothes in your store? Aura, let’s go somewhere else. Who knows what kind of people have tried on these clothes before us—they might have let someone like her wear them!"

Aura Sinclair snorted, "Yeah, what if some sick woman tried them on before? Ugh, so gross!"

The salespeople’s faces grew uglier and uglier, but Rosalind was a VIP member of the store, so they didn’t dare offend her.

"Ms. Joyce, any clothes tried on by guests are always cleaned and disinfected. Also, if you decide to buy, we bring out a brand new item."

"Hmph, so what if you clean and disinfect them? That disgusting stink some people leave behind can’t be washed away, no matter how many times you wash the clothes."

As soon as Rosalind finished speaking, a cold voice rang out, "If you think it’s so disgusting, then get the hell out."

Zoe Xavier walked out from the changing room in her new clothes.

Kiana couldn’t speak, while Rosalind and Aura kept firing insults at her like machine guns—she didn’t even get a chance to fight back.

Seeing Kiana’s face go a little pale, Zoe walked over, gently patted her on the back, gave her a comforting look, then turned coldly toward Rosalind Joyce.

Rosalind and Aura were both utterly stunned to see Zoe Xavier.

They were shocked to find Zoe in this store, even more stunned that she was with Kiana.

What kind of situation was this?

Didn’t Zoe Xavier dislike Kiana Sutton?

Why were they out shopping together?

Rosalind was overbearing but still a bit afraid of Zoe, so she immediately put on a smile. "Oh, Zoe, when did you get back from filming? Why didn’t you tell us? We could have had a big family dinner!"

Zoe Xavier had no patience for Rosalind’s fake family warmth. She let out a cold laugh, "Family? Kiana is Ian’s wife, my daughter-in-law—are you treating her like family?"

"Her? Heh... Zoe, don’t forget how she got to marry Ethan."

Aura Sinclair piped up immediately, "That’s right, Auntie Zoe, you’ve been filming and don’t know the family situation. Kiana Sutton is scheming—she took advantage of grandma being old and confused to set my mom up!"

Rosalind shot Aura a look but explained with a smile, "What Aura means is, mom is getting old and can’t tell good from bad; she mistakenly kept a wolf in sheep’s clothing at home, making our family miserable ever since."
