Chapter 6 Who's Her Husband 17 min left Hours later , a headline rocketed to the top of the trending list . [ Caroline Warren , Senior Secretary of the Martin Group , Caught Up in Financial Crime Scandal ] In just one afternoon , the whole company was trending for all the wrong reasons . Edwin watched the story spiral from bad to worse , his stomach in knots . The PR and legal teams were losing their minds , blowing up his phone . He bolted into Caleb's office like his ass was on fire . Caleb barely looked up from his paperwork , his tone nonchalant . " What's got your panties in a twist ? Caroline behind bars yet , or did she miracle her way out ? " Edwin shoved his phone in Caleb's face . " Ms . Warren's arrest is trending everywhere ! Now everyone's digging into every project she ever touched ! " Caleb frowned , clearly irritated . " Caroline's doing ? Is she trying to get back at us ? " Edwin shook his head . " Mr. Martin , the cops got her phone carlier . She's probably still getting grilled at the police station . She can't orchestrate this kind of news . " 1/7 09:37 Chapter 6 Who's Her Husband 17 min left Caleb's face softened . " Makes sense . She doesn't have the balls either . " She got where she is because of me . All her status ? My doing . If she's not behind this trending mess , guess she still cares about her job . That divorce ? Just a stunt . Edwin just couldn't believe how chill Caleb was while the situation got worse . He nervously pushed on . " Mr. Martin , people are demanding that we audit everything Ms. Warren has been involved in . Pre - sale refunds are flooding in , and going through another inspection will cost us a fortune ! " Caleb shrugged it off . " Got nothing to hide , got nothing to fear . If this little drama's got you running in here screaming like a headless chicken , maybe rethink that assistant position . " Edwin shut up real quick . Sometimes I wonder if it's just pure hatred fueling whatever Mr. Martin's doing with Caroline . Years of forced marriage , and he gets off on making her life hell . 2/7 09:37 Chapter 6 Who's Her Husband 17 min left But the second someone comes for her work ? He's got her back .

Caroline's got another dude . ] Everyone in the comments was like " who ??? " , but whoever spilled that tea just went radio silent . Not a single soul was brave enough to drop Caleb's name in that chat . Instead , everyone started going wild about Caroline and Anthony's history . Watching them get cozy on screen , Caleb's eyes went killer mode . She's totally trying to get me pressed , same energy as when she brought up the divorce .
