The CEO regretted it after pretending to be crazy and stupid Chapter 4

Lucas stared at him hard: "You're just a working stiff. Instead of working overtime, what are you doing here?"

Everyone chuckled quietly. Daring to call a world-class scientific genius a working stiff—Lucas was the first.

Seth smiled: "Came back to discuss business. Uncle Foster asked me to escort Natalie abroad while I'm here."

"My business partners can understand a young man being impulsive, occasionally delaying work to protect his fiancée. After all, the core technology is in my hands. They can wait."

Then he looked at me, his eyes holding no one but me:

"Natalie, what's fun about an engagement party? I have a helicopter at the suburban airport. I'll teach you to fly, soar through the blue sky—definitely more interesting than staying in this little garden!"

I smiled and bid farewell to Lucas and Lily: "I'll be going now. Once again, congratulations on your union."

With that, I walked toward Seth and left with him.

Lucas chased after us: "Natalie, would being Montgomery Corporation CEO's mistress really be worse than being a working man's wife?"

"If you really care about status, I can take you abroad to get marr—"

Before he could finish the word "married," Old Mrs. Montgomery arrived with her private doctor and had Lucas dragged away.

The major shareholders present didn't even finish their celebratory drinks before leaving one by one.

Outside stood a motorcycle. Seth handed me a helmet: "Dare to ride?"

I mounted the bike: "Hold on tight, big sister's taking you flying!"

With that, I hit the gas and we sped toward the suburbs, Lucas' crazy words scattering in the wind.

The next day, headlines everywhere reported "Montgomery Corporation CEO's Intelligence Questionable." Montgomery stock plummeted, losing hundreds of millions in market value.

Old Mrs. Montgomery assembled a top-tier PR team and launched crisis management with thunderous force.

To dispel the rumors, the Montgomery family held a grand wedding.

On the wedding day, I deliberately took a side road to the airport.

Unexpectedly, enemies on a narrow road—I still ran into Lucas' wedding procession.

Lucas, dressed as a groom, blocked my car: "Natalie Foster, can you really bear to leave me?"
