Chapter 99
Jonah sat up and said, “You know damn well that Chloe and Lance just broke up! And what’s with Keira liking Lance? Chloe’s fiancé is with her sister, how do you expect her to deal with
that?
“Instead of comforting her, you’re making her cover for them, you… you…”
Jonah was furious, truly feeling sorry for Chloe.
“Lance doesn’t love Chloe, but he’s destined to be the son–in–law of the Summers family! Chloe can’t avoid this! Keira in her sister, and Lance will be her brother in–lawr! Everything is set in stone, what difference does it make? I’m her grandmother, and if she can’t accept it, I’ll force her to! I’m not afraid to be the bad guy!”
“You…”
“Enough! You go to rest and mind your own business!”
Carolina forcefully cut off Jonah’s words and left after finishing her rant.
Chloe didn’t stay home for long and headed straight for the front door.
“Chloe, wait.”
Keira’s voice came from behind, but Chloe didn’t stop and walked out the door.
As Chloe passed an old locust tree at the villa’s entrance, Keira caught up and stood in front of her.
Her vulnerable expression from before had disappeared.
Now she was smiling at Chloe.
“Chloe, you’re finally home, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
She emphasized the word “home” as she spoke.
Chloe squinted her eyes, a glint of coldness flashing through them.
“Are you satisfied showing off your achievements to me?”
“What are you talking about? Your home is here, you can come back anytime, no one will stop you. I won’t be staying here for too long…”
Keira paused for a moment, then laughed.
“After Friday’s party, Dad will arrange for our family and Lance’s parents to have dinner together, and we’ll set our wedding date. So, you don’t have to worry about me, fl be marrying into the Olson family soon, so I won’t be staying here for long.”
Chloe’s heart was pricked.
They were already setting a wedding date?
Were they really that impatient?
Well, t
hat’s great.
Although she knew she and Lance could never be together again, she couldn’t help but feel
Lance was once the man she planned to spend the rest of her life with.
Despite that, Chloe’s expression remained cold.
Really, it wasn’t that hard to deal with anymore.
After loving him for eight years, she knew she needed time to adjust and forget.
But it really wasn’t as hard to accept as she thought.
“If you’re done showing off, can you get out of my way?”
Keira didn’t move, but Chloe reached out and pushed her aside.
Keira barely managed to grab the tree trunk next to her, preventing herself from falling. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
I a little something.
She clenched her teeth, “Do you know why Grandma suggested you attend the dinner tonight?”
Keira caught up with Chloe again, blocking her path.
Chloe frowned, looking at her coldly.
“Because my relationship with Lance isn’t clear yet, and we can’t go public in front of the media, so Grandma asked you to be there too! With you, his fiancée” in name, my relationship with Lance won’t be discovered by others!”
