THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 566

This was the Ninth Master they were talking about! And the voice sounded like a young woman, definitely not Dowager Beatrice or Alaina Sylvester. Oh my God. Was the Ninth Master in a relationship? And who was this girl, so bold that she could not only capture Gordon's heart but also seemed to be the one in charge?

The executives exchanged looks of utter disbelief. Even more shocking, their boss, upon hearing his name used so casually, didn't get angry. Instead, a faint smile touched his lips, like a glacier melting in the spring sun. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it was Gordon.

Gordon, about to send a voice message back, suddenly remembered where he was. He looked up at the finance manager. "Continue."

Two words. Cold and crisp. Just like that, the ice king was back, and the previous moment felt like a collective hallucination.

The finance manager, startled, resumed his presentation.

Gordon held his phone with one hand, listening to the report while typing a reply to Caitlin: [Like father, like son. It's normal.] He even added a cute emoji.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended. The moment Gordon left the room, a flurry of whispers erupted.

"Who do you think was messaging the Ninth Master?"

"Isn't it obvious? It must be his girlfriend!"

"But I thought he was against marriage."

"That doesn't mean he can't be in a relationship! Didn't you hear how that girl talks to him? Maybe she's the one who can make him break his own rules and finally settle down."

"No way! Absolutely not! This is the Ninth Master we're talking about. When have you ever seen him go back on his word?"

"I agree, it's impossible."

"It wouldn't matter if she was a goddess from heaven. No woman can change his mind."

This was Gordon, a man who had seen battlefields and walked through hell. A man like that wouldn't abandon his principles for a relationship like some lovesick teenager.

The vice president, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "You can gossip about this in here, but not a word of it leaves this room. Do you understand?"

The boss's private life was a minefield. The fact that there were no rumors meant Gordon wanted to keep this relationship private. If word got out from them, their careers would be over.

"Don't worry, Mr. Barrett. We would never spread rumors about the Ninth Master."
