Chapter 1196
Just like Carolina said, if Chloe were to marry him, she would become a real noble. Her status and standard of living
would definitely level up. And, as they just saw, the viscount was young, handsome, dashing, and gentlemanly.
Maybe Ms. Chloe was not really against it this time. Maybe deep down, she also thought that marrying the viscount
of Y Country wouldn’t be a bad choice.
Everyone was worried about this. They were concerned that Chloe would actually do something unexpected to
please that old hag. But come on, even if she did want to marry the viscount, they couldn’t just let that old bat take
those wedding gifts so easily, right? Just thinking about it made people sick! Meanwhile, in an office of the Harper
Group, a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere hung in the air.
Nate stood there, stiff as a board, not daring to move a muscle, let alone change his facial expression. Behind the
desk, Damon stared grimly at the tablet Nate just handed him. The screen was filled with comments like, “Waiting
to see how Chloe will fight back.” Damon’s lips were tightly pressed together as if he was also silently waiting for
something.
He had originally thought that with Elizabeth around, Chloe wouldn’t be too bored at home. Especially since Rose
was returning today, a few women together would definitely have plenty to chat about. He thought Chloe would be
back at Greenfield Village by now, but then Nate barged into his office, putting the live–streaming tablet in front of
him.
The Summers family, it’d been a while.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had thought that things with the Summers family should’ve been pretty much settled by now.
Seeing Chloe, who should be at home, now appearing at the Summers‘ and having a conflict with that old hag,
really pissed him off. That old hag actually wanted to break off his engagement with Chloe. Just for a measly 200
million dollars, she was selling off his wife!
Even if Chloe could forgive her this time, he sure as hell wouldn’t!
He was still glued to the screen because he believed Chloe wouldn’t give in that easily. After all, she was his wife
now. Even if she wanted to marry Rhys, she would have to check her status first. She was his wife!
She wanted to marry Rhys? How dared she!
Damon’s eyes hardened. He was truly pissed off.
After a few minutes, everyone was still glued to the live stream, watching Chloe’s every move
At the Summers‘, Rose stared at Chloe, who showed no reaction, and couldn’t help but say.
“Do you really want to marry that viscount? I think he’s quite good–looking, gentlemanly, and graceful. It should be
pretty good to marry him.”
Chloe gave a faint smile, “Don’t use your standard to judge men. I don’t know what kind of person Rhys is. He’s only
met me once and he’s already giving the Summers wedding gifts to marry me. So, I don’t think he’s a good person”
Rose squinted her eyes. “Is it because you’re good–looking?”
Chloe recalled their first meeting in West Valley. She thought it over carefully. Rhys suddenly taking a liking to her,
wanting to marry her; it was definitely not a coincidence. Even if it was, someone must have arranged it in
advance.
Who could that person be?
Chloe squinted her eyes and walked towards the living room.
“Chloe!” Behind her, Jonah suddenly called out to her. Chloe stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.
Jonah, who already looked old, seemed even older at this moment. He looked at Chloe, his cloudy eyes filled with
tears. He struggled to say, “I’m really sorry. I couldn’t protect you and let you suffer such grievances.”
Chloe looked at him quietly, her face expressionless, but she was feeling emotional inside. “You don’t need to
apologize to me. I am grateful to you” People were like this, always comparing each other. To her, the more
shameless Carolina was, the more respect she had for Jonah. Even though he didn’t provide much actual help, his
existence to her was the most precious.
She was very grateful to him. During those dark days, there was someone who treated her kindly, and cared for
her. He was an old man, who couldn’t even protect himself, so she didn’t blame him.
She was capable of protecting herself.
“In my heart, you’re my closest family.”
“Your grandmother, she…”
“She’s not my grandmother.” Chloe cut Jonah off, smiling, “She hasn’t been my grandmother for a long time.”
Jonah sighed and didn’t say anything further. “Don’t worry about this. I’ll make her return those wedding gifts.”
Chloe shook her head. “No, I’ll handle this. If she values money that much, then let her keep revolving around it.”
Jonah looked at Chloe. “What are you planning to do?”
Chloe smiled, glanced at the villa’s entrance, and walked in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“New update, new update! Come and see what she’s going to do this time!”
“Quick, follow her in!”
“Waiting for the drama.”
The servant who was live streaming quietly came to the villa’s entrance, aiming the phone camera at the scene in
the living room.
Rhys stood in the middle of the living room, satisfied at the sight of boxes filling almost the entire room. He said,
“There will be a state banquet in Y
Country soon. I hope to hold the wedding before that. Time is tight, how about next week?”
Carolina laughed and nodded. “Anything is fine. As long as you’re willing.”
At this moment, Chloe walked in. Her tall, slender figure and aloof demeanor made Rhys unable to look away. He
recalled the scene of seeing her at the horse ranch a few days ago. She was brave and decisive, and every aspect
of her made him infatuated. If he could marry such a woman, his grandfather would definitely be thrilled.
“Chloe, when do you think we should hold the wedding? Where do you want to hold the wedding? Just say it and I’ll
do my best to fulfill it.”
“I won’t marry you.”
Facing Rhys‘ excitement, Chloe just gave him a cold response. The smile on Rhys‘ face slowly faded away, his
eyebrows furrowed into a frown.
Meanwhile, Chloe shifted her gaze to Carolina, who had long since lost her smile.. “I’m asking you one last time,
these wedding gifts, are you returning them or not?”
