Chapter 82 Love Triangle
All of the guests looked at Ava and Jake in confusion.
The couple’s faces turned bright red in embarrassment.
“Turn it off now!” Benjamin roared at the emcee.
The emcee realized that something was wrong and immediately notified the staff to turn off the big screen.
The next second, a short burst of noise came from the speakers lining the hall, and the sounds of Ava crying started playing, “Coco, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I love Jake too much. Please don’t blame him.’
“Ava, don’t say such silly things. It’s not your fault. I just couldn’t control myself and wanted you. Now that it’s out in the open, it’s actually better. I wanted to break up with Coco long ago, but she’s been too busy with work and I never had a chance to explain to her. You’re more suitable for me, Ava.”
“Oh, my God…”
The crowd was in an uproar, and chaos ensued.
“Seriously? Chloe and Jake used to be a couple?”
“Holy moly, he’s amazing. He made both Benjamin’s daughters his girlfriends!”
“It’s Ava who snatched away Chloe’s boyfriend. Men’s attention is so weird.”
The whispers grew louder as the playback of the recording progressed.
Karen shouted loudly, claiming that the clarification video and recording were synthesized, and scolded the younger generation for spouting nonsense. A few letters. and a recording could not prove anything.
The scene finally quieted down a bit, and Ava bit her lower lip. Tears were gushing out of her eyes as she complained bitterly, “I don’t know where Coco gets these things from. Jake has always treated her as his sister.”
“Yeah, Coco has always had a crush on Jake, but Jake only likes Ava. Because of this, Coco loves playing pranks to get attention. She’s just a young girl experiencing her first love, so everyone should understand,” Karen said, expressing the helplessness of a mother for her daughter. “But today is an important day for Ava, second only to her wedding day. I didn’t expect Coco to be so immature… I saw her go to the control room
appeared one after another. The contents and the cheesy words that Jake had written in the past were clear for all to see.
The attendees were momentarily confused, thinking that the love letters were meant for Ava. They teased the couple.
“Oh, youth. They’re so romantic,” one person commented.
“Who says it’s not? When my wife and I got together, it was all arranged by our
parents. We met once and became a family after. But free love is so sweet to watch,” another person added.
“Hey, why isn’t the recipient of these letters Ava? It seems to be addressed to Chloe,” someone pointed out.

a while ago. Sigh…”
In just a few sentences, she shifted all the blame onto Chloe.
Others nodded as if they vaguely understood the ins and outs of the matter.
So it was a love triangle.
Jake breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he looked at Icarus, who was standing in the distance. Icarus’s eyes were filled with disappointment and felt that Jake had failed to live up to his responsibilities as a man. Jake was embarrassed and his face turned red then white.
The whole thing had happened so long ago, yet he could not fathom why Chloe was still holding onto it. To make matters worse, his uncle was siding with her. Had he gone mad?
The family’s conduct left Emily seething with anger. She stood on the second floor, itching to confront Karen. However, Chloe swiftly covered her mouth and whispered, ” This is their turf. They’ve already dispatched people to find us. If we make a sound, we’ll only be walking into a trap.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Chloe’s intention was not to immediately turn the tide in her favor, but rather to plant a seed. This was only the first step.
After this happened at the engagement party, Ava was probably not in a good mood anymore. Chloe’s relationship with Jake was not exactly a secret, and anyone who cared to inquire would know.
As they conversed, Benjamin, who had been sulking downstairs, finally spoke up and said a few words to several security guards. They then dispersed to search the area.
Emily was shocked and asked, “He’s your father. Is he planning to harm you?”
Chloe forced a bitter smile, “It’s not impossible.”
Benjamin was seething with rage, and she was certain that he wanted to beat her up right now more than anything else.
The two slipped out of the hotel through the back door and hailed a cab. As they drove away, Emily caught a glimpse of Icarus’s figure in the rearview mirror and her heart skipped a beat. “I think I saw Jake’s uncle. Is he going to cause trouble for you?”
With his nephew making such a big scene, it was likely that Chloe would face some unpleasant consequences when she returned home.
