“Chloe….. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Keira was taken aback by Chloe’s words, a hint of sorrow flashing across her face
She turned to Carolina, looking a bit lost, before stuttering, “Don’t you like this dress? Don’t worry, I have others… Granny came all the way here for you, can you really let her down?”
The dissatisfaction on Carolina’s face deepened.
*Chloe, how long are you planning to hold a grudge against me? I’m asking you to attend a party, should I have to beg you?”
Sarcasm and ice were all that could be seen in Chloe’s eyes.
“I don’t get it, for the past six years, you guys have never let me represent the Summers family at any parties! And now all of a sudden, you’re begging me to go?”
“You.. you’re too ungrateful!” Carolina spat out, with her eyes blazing with anger.
“Alright, alright!”
Jonah, feeling helpless, interrupted the tense atmosphere. After a moment of silence, he turned to Chloe.
“It’s a rare opportunity, wouldn’t it be nice to have some fun? You’re always working… Besides, this party is quite a big deal, think about the Harper family’s connections. If you meet a few people there, it might be really helpful for your career…
“Yeah, Chloe, not just anyone gets invited to the Harper Group’s party…”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t going!”
Chloe cut off Keira’s pretentious talk, sounding quite impatient.
1 just don’t want to go with you! Grandpa, I’ll leave you to rest and I’ll come visit you when I have time.”
With that, Chloe didn’t spare anyone in the room another glance, and she y turned and left.
“Chloe!”
“Stop! Don’t chase after her!”
Keira wanted to catch up, only to be stopped by Carolina’s sharp rebuke.
“But Granny, Chloe…”
Carolina shot her a look, “As long as she goes, that’s enough! I’ll have someone stall her at the entrance, and if you three enter together, nobody will notice anything!”
Keira let out a small sigh of relief, “I’ll go see her off.”
With that, she shoved the dress back into the box, picked it up, and hurried off.
Carolina pursed her lips, letting her go.
Originally, Carolina planned to have a meal with Lance’s parents in the next few days and set a date for Keira’s engagement. But with all the chaos at Pulse Entertainment, Keira was under a lot of pressure and didn’t have the energy to plan anything.
Now, everyone in P City thought Chloe was Lance’s fiancée.
If Keira and Lance appeared together at the banquet, any hint of scandal would not be good for Keira’s reputation.
Pulse Entertainment couldn’t afford any more drama, so she had to be extra careful.
“Carolina, you…*
Jonah started to speak but was suddenly seized by a violent coughing fit.
“You’ve gone too far! You’re making Chloe attend the party as a cover for Lance and Keira? She… Chloe is your own granddaughter! Do you have no heart?!”
“If she really is my granddaughter, she should understand! It’s just a party, what’s the big deal?”
