Chapter 45 - Ethan's Name Appeared Again

A business magazine published an article about Sterling's recovery.
The journalist mentioned Ethan briefly.
Clara expected it.
What she didn't expect was the public reaction.
Thousands of comments appeared.
Some praised her.
Others accused her of destroying her husband.
Some said she had been too ruthless.
Others said she had been too forgiving.
Clara read the comments for ten minutes.
Then closed the page.
Marcus asked:
“Did it bother you?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to respond?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because strangers don't need to understand my marriage.”
She smiled.
“They only need to understand the company.”
That decision became another turning point.
Clara stopped explaining herself to people who had never lived her life.
She no longer needed public approval.
She had spent too many years letting other people's opinions determine how she saw herself.

That was over.
