\nMarked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 304<\/p>\n
**Chapter 304: Is Your Boyfriend Willing to Stand Up?**<\/p>\n
As Deanna stepped out of the conference room, a palpable tension hung in the air among the senior executives. They exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of bewilderment and concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat just happened in there?\u201d one executive murmured, breaking the silence that had enveloped the room.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t Ms. Wiley deny any of the allegations?\u201d another added, his brow furrowed in confusion.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t tell me the rumors about her pregnancy are true, and that she was involved with that married man, Mason. How are we supposed to keep this mall running if our reputation crumbles?\u201d a third voice chimed in, panic creeping into his tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cHold on a second! Ms. Wiley has promised to provide us with an explanation. Let\u2019s not jump to conclusions just yet,\u201d another executive interjected, attempting to restore some order amid the rising chaos.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, whispers began to circulate among the employees of Mistbane Group, their curiosity piqued by the unfolding drama.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe Ms. Wiley is actually pregnant. If you calculate the timeline, she\u2019s over three months along, nearing four, yet she still looks so slender. You\u2019d never guess it!\u201d one employee whispered, glancing around to ensure no one was eavesdropping.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that really the main concern here? The real question is, who\u2019s the father? Please don\u2019t tell me it\u2019s Mr. Davenport from the Regalia Pack. He\u2019s in his forties, has that creepy vibe, and he\u2019s nothing like Ms. Wiley,\u201d another chimed in, shaking his head in disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw online that he has a mate and children. If Ms. Wiley is indeed the mistress, our company\u2019s reputation is doomed!\u201d someone else exclaimed, their voice laced with alarm.<\/p>\n
Just then, the conference room door swung open, and Deanna emerged, her presence immediately commanding silence. The employees quickly returned to their seats, their conversations abruptly halted.<\/p>\n
As she made her way back to her office, Deanna paused momentarily, casting a glance over her shoulder. \u201cIf gossip boosts your productivity, then indulge yourselves. But from this day forward, I want no more rumors circulating in this company,\u201d she declared, her voice steady yet firm.<\/p>\n
Yet, the thought nagged at her\u2014Zelena alone lacked the resources to instigate such a scandal. She must have allied herself with someone influential, someone like Ruth from the Mooncrown Pack, who could easily manipulate the situation to her advantage.<\/p>\n
Rachel, sensing Deanna\u2019s turmoil, exhaled quietly, her eyes reflecting a mixture of concern and relief. The prospect of the baby being Mason\u2019s had haunted her thoughts, and she was grateful that wasn\u2019t the case. \u201cIf the child isn\u2019t Mr. Davenport\u2019s, we can manage this crisis,\u201d she said, her voice steadying. \u201cThe best approach now is to hold a press conference, publicly announce your engagement, and have the child\u2019s father step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rachel\u2019s eyes met Deanna\u2019s, a question lingering in the air. \u201cMs. Wiley, is your boyfriend prepared to stand by you during this?\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna contemplated the question for a moment, weighing her options. \u201cLet\u2019s arrange the press conference first. I\u2019ll take care of everything else,\u201d she decided, her voice firm with determination.<\/p>\n
Once Rachel exited the office, Deanna rose from her chair and wearily sank onto the couch, her mind racing. She clutched her phone, deliberating for a moment before finally deciding to call Luis.<\/p>\n
Just as she opened her contacts, her phone rang, and it was Malcolm calling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2386","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
