Chapter 167 Shifting Perspectives
In the tranquil embrace of an online community, the unexpected disclosure of Miles‘ orientation reverberated widely, catching many off guard.
“Wait, Miles is gay? And he has a boyfriend? So, there’s probably no romantic involvement between him and Kate.”
“Absolutely none! Those images they shared–they’ve been twisted beyond recognition. Even the original photos, untampered, reveal a different narrative. It’s clear as day they’re being misrepresented.”
“Rumours hinted that Kate’s ascent in the global design contest stemmed from an improper bond with Miles, but such claims are utterly unfounded.”
“Could it be jealousy at play, seeking to mar the reputations of both Kate and Miles?”
The mood among the online community swiftly shifted. Ultimately, Miles‘ forthright revelation sufficed to dispel any shadow of doubt about his and Kate’s relationship.
The unfounded criticisms directed towards Kate online were effortlessly rebuffed. However, in the same breath, scrutiny now focused on Miles himself.
“Oh dear, so Miles is gay, huh?”
“Hmm, well, it can be controversial in this sphere.”
“Why’d he do it at this particular moment though? I mean him coming out!
“I don’t think he did it per se. Someone leaked the intel. He just decided to say f*ck it and face it head on. Yeah, gays aren’t that many here at home, but you see them everywhere overseas.”
“Love is love, people. No war, just peace.”
The currents of online discourse veered swiftly from Kate to Miles.
Miles‘ steady voice resonated from the other end, “Muse, fret not for me. My bond with Kyle shall soon be unveiled. It is time he received the recognition he is due.”
Kate sensed a stirring within her heart. With eyes slightly damp, she found her voice after a lingering silence, sofily speaking, “Congratulations to you. both.”
Miles chuckled warmly. “Muse, remind Davison to reward me handsomely when the moment. arrives!”
Kate chuckled in return. I shall ensure it.”
The revelation of Miles‘ coming out captured public attention, indirectly affirming Kate’s integrity.

if Miles‘ coming out was true, it should not have surfaced at this juncture. Thus, Miles chose to shoulder the responsibility now, deflecting focus to absolve Kate from undue scrutiny.
Kate was resolute, her fists clenched, her gaze unwavering towards the prone figure of Eric, unconscious on the other side. The aftermath of the explosion had left him in a coma, the physicians grappling with the uncertainty of his awakening, his plight shrouded in concern over a severe head injury.
After much internal reflection, Kate delicately removed her IV tube and turned to Hendrick with a firm countenance, Hendrick, escort me to the Davison Group.
Hendrick, absorbed in his laptop, glanced up with surprise at Kate’s directive, questioning. “Why

Kate pressed her lips together, her voice measured, “I sense a premonition. With Ric incapacitated, the Davison Group requires guidance.”
Hendrick tried his best, but he couldn’t dissuade Kate.
Leaving the vigilant bodyguard to watch over Eric in the ward, Kate made her initial stop at Lucas’s bedside. Freshly emerged from surgery, Lucas too lay in a state of unconsciousness. With George now tasked with overseeing affairs at the Davison Group, it fell upon him to navigate the responsibilities that awaited his stewardship.
Thus, when Hendrick ushered Kate through the familiar corridors to the company’s headquarters, no one stood ready to greet her. The employees of the Davison Group, deeply immersed in their duties, seemed unaware of her arrival.
