Chapter 1528
They thought the issue with the Summers family was done and dusted. But nope, that old bat Carolina had to stir up
a fuss. She was raising hell, tarnishing Chloe’s reputation with a disloyal and ungrateful label, slinging mud at her,
and even threatening to drag her to court.
Why couldn’t it just end? Why were people so damn greedy?
Rose wanted to hold Chloe’s hand, but someone beat her to it, clutching Chloe’s other hand as if he saw her
reaching out. Rose was left hanging. She glared at Damon, but the man just shrugged it off, not giving her a second
glance.
He did that on purpose, didn’t he?! She was just trying to comfort her friend, okay? She was not even allowed to
touch her hand now?!
Rose’s hand hung in the air, feeling super awkward. Chloe saw it too, and tried to pull her hand away, but Damon
held on tight. Yulia, seeing Rose’s awkwardness, quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her back. Rose
was grateful for Yulia’s save, but their sudden hand–holding seemed a bit stiff. Yulia gently patted her hand, telling
her not to worry about it. “Rose, if Chloe has a kid, can I be the godmother?“d2
Chloe had been very busy lately, and with a possessive man around, she didn’t have much time to spend with Rose.
When she was not around, Yulia would come over to keep her company. Her relationship with Yulia was also quite
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgood.
Yulia was always reserved, never making any requests, not even asking for help. Even for a small favor like fetching
a fruit or pouring a glass of water, she would never ask. Now the sudden request to be the godmother of her child
was a real surprise.
“Of course.” Rose didn’t hesitate and agreed right away.
Yulia smiled, squeezing Rose’s hand a bit. “Then I better start preparing my godson’s gift.”
Rose instantly lit up. “Great. You and Damon should hurry up and have a baby, so I can prepare for my nephew.”
The previously tense atmosphere lightened up. Seeing the two as if they had decided their future, Chloe’s sadness
was overshadowed by their interaction, making her chuckle. Damon held her hands, gently squeezing them.
Compared to earlier, his expression was more somber.
The priest seemed unaffected by Rose and Yulia’s actions. Facing Chloe’s accusations, he still remained calm. “This
is your fate. In this world, some things are just destined to be. These are all things you must go through.”
Chloe stared at the priest, “I don’t understand what you mean. I don’t care about these, I just want to know, who
told you to go to Carolina? What exactly did you tell her? Why is she so convinced that between me and Keira, Keira
is the one with the phoenix–like destiny? Is it really her misunderstanding? I don’t believe that it’s that simple.”
The priest sighed, “Smart people always tend to overcomplicate simple things. Sometimes, things are just that
simple. I live outside the mortal world, not seeking fame or fortune. I have dedicated my life to serving God. There’s
no such thing as ‘who told me to do this‘.”
Chloe slowly closed her eyes. Could she really believe that it was just that simple? “To believe that the reason that
could destroy me is just that simple, I really cannot accept it. Moreover, these reasons were so elusive, tied to the
mysteries of fate. Hmm… what a complex web of causality.”
She sneered, whether materialists or idealists, they would not accept such a reason. What era was this? With the
education she received, how could she fully believe in this?
Seeing her like this, the priest smiled, took his teacup, and took a sip. “You just need to answer one question, and
you will understand everything.”
Chloe looked up at him, “What question?”
“Are you satisfied with everything you have now?”
As soon as the priest’s words fell, Chloe turned to look at the man beside her. The answer in her heart followed.
She was stisfied.
She knew that without all the previous experiences, she would never have met Damon. Even a wrong step, she
would not have met him.
She was satisfied. Having this man, she knew she almost had the world. Because he promised her the rest of his
life. He
had promised her that everything would be okay for the rest of her life.

pace, paused slightly after a circle, then continued to rotate.
Good deeds would be rewarded, and evil deeds would be punished. Whether it was secret evil deeds or covert good
deeds, they can’t escape the retribution of karma. The cycle of cause and effect, you may think others don’t know,
but everything was clear.
“Your journey continues. There are many greedy people in the world, and by blocking their way and thwarting their
desires, you’ve surely earned their resentment. Be cautious.”
Chloe was silent for a long time before standing up from the chair. The priest’s last words were like a warning to
her. But she was never afraid. “I understand. Thank you.”
Although she hated what he said to Carolina, which almost ruined her, no matter what happened before, even if
she had been through countless hardships, having Damon was enough to offset all the suffering and grievances.
Everything she had been through was just to meet this man, so she had no complaints.
Rose and Yulia exchanged glances, both in awe and fear of the old priest. He seemed to have an unfathomable
power, his description of Chloe’s situation almost 100% accurate.
Mysticism was a profound field. Yet, the more profound it was, the more we wanted to understand some
information about ourselves. After all, Chloe was a prime example. His predictions were really accurate.
In the end, Rose couldn’t help but ask, “Master, since we’re here, can you also give us some guidance?”
Curiosity killed the cat.
