Madeline was shocked and said, “Chloe, what do you mean? You are so ungrateful. I am your only relative after your mother died. You don’t even admit your relatives. You will be punished!” When Madeline started cursing, the security personnel had already carried her downstairs.
Chloe snorted.
After Madeline left, Quinn completely opened the door and walked towards Chloe, saying, “Are you okay?”
Chloe shook her head and said, “Nothing, it’s just a little annoying.”
Madeline and Maya wouldn’t hurt her.
Quinn was relieved when he heard this and said, “Candy said that you’re looking for a house these days. How is it going?” Chloe took a half step back and said, “I’ll go and take a look tomorrow. If everything goes well, I’ll make a decision.”
“I’ll go with you.”
He responded almost instantly.
If it were in the past, Chloe would have agreed immediately.
But now Chloe knew that he was interested in her.
So, she couldn’t continue to get along with him like before.
She wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a long time, she could only come up with an excuse. She said, “It’s too troublesome for you, I’ll go with Candy.” Quinn never felt troublesome to help her.
“It’s not a big deal.”
“By the way, Jessica will also have an assessment tomorrow. She has been on the team for a while. Candy and I are both busy, so I have to ask you to help me.” Chloe could only think of such an excuse.
Quinn looked disappointed. Chloe saw it clearly but could only pretend not to understand.
“Do you have something to do tomorrow? I can delay it for two days.”
“I’m free tomorrow.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Quinn adjusted his state and then returned to normal.
Chloe felt a little relieved. It was the first time she felt that getting along with him was such a tiring thing.
The next day, Chloe took Candy to Amanda’s address.
On the way, Candy felt a little strange and asked, “Amanda doesn’t know you well, why is she helping you so much?” People from rich families were not fools.
Even if Amanda’s house was empty, she shouldn’t rent it to someone she’d only known for a short time.
“Maybe Ms. Miller is very kind. Her house is empty anyway.”
Candy still felt something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure it out.
The two arrived at their destination and got out of the car. Candy looked at the name of the community and felt suffocated.
“Chloe, is the house that Amanda gave you this one?”
Chloe was also a little surprised when she got the address yesterday.
After all, this was a high-end residential area, and the house price here was more expensive than that of Mortland.
She remembered that even Michael didn’t seem to have a house here.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Chloe thought maybe it was a house that was not often lived in and was just slightly renovated.
But when the two of them arrived in front of the house, they were shocked again.
This was a four-story villa with a garden of dozens of square meters outside. Although no one lived there, the lawn in the garden was well maintained.
They could tell at first glance that it had been carefully renovated.
Standing at the door, Candy tugged at Chloe’s sleeve and said, “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
Chloe was speechless.
She wasn’t illiterate.
Chloe handed the business card to Candy without saying a word.
The two looked at each other and then walked inside.
It was not simply decorated as Chloe said, it was extremely exquisite.
The house had been uninhabited for so many years but it was still spotless.
“You must be Ms. Nelson, right? Ms. Miller informed me yesterday that you would come to see the house today. I am the housekeeper of this villa. You can call me Bob.” Candy was dumbfounded when she looked at the crystal chandelier from the ceiling on the fourth floor.
She thought she might be dreaming.
Before Chloe could react, her cell phone rang.
Chapter 461 A Luxurious House
“Chloe, have you seen the house? What do you think? Are you satisfied?”
Chloe blinked and said, “Ms. Miller, this house is too luxurious. My studio doesn’t need so much space.”
“It doesn’t matter. Maybe your team will need to recruit people in the future. A bigger one would be better. Besides, I don’t live here either. It doesn’t make any difference to me.” Amanda didn’t think this house was that special.
She simply thought the location met Chloe’s requirements.
If she wanted to give someone a luxurious house, she wouldn’t have chosen this one. She had way more luxurious houses than this.
After hanging up the phone, Chloe looked at Candy and said, “What do you think of this house?”
Candy turned her head and looked at her, saying, “Are you kidding? This house is amazing, okay? If you buy a house, you can’t afford such an awesome house!” Candy didn’t care about anything else.
She thought it would be lucky to be able to live in this house.
Bob gave her the password to the house and recorded both her and Candy’s fingerprints.
Amanda sat on the sofa in her own home, and the housekeeper said, “You’re very concerned about Ms. Nelson.”
Amanda smiled and said, “I like her. She is the same age as my sister.”
She even thought that it would be nice if Chloe could be her sister.
She didn’t know why she always felt a sense of familiarity when looking at Chloe.
“There aren’t many people that you like. I want to see who Ms. Nelson is.”
The butler had been guarding Miller Manor. It was rare for Amanda to come back, so he was naturally happy.
Amanda propped up her chin with her hand and said, “How about I host an event and invite Chloe?”
The butler had taken care of Amanda since she was a child, and was like an uncle she trusted, so she also wanted the butler to like the person she liked.
The housekeeper said with a faint smile, “I’ll support any of your decisions.”
Amanda was a member of a
swimming team abroad before. Her favorite thing to do when she was abroad was to go surfing. Although there were no such conditions here, there were swimming pools.
As soon as Chloe came out of the villa, she received a message from Amanda.
[Chloe, I’m hosting a pool party in a few days, come with your friends. ]
Candy saw it and shook her head frantically, saying, “No, I can’t swim!”
She felt extremely nervous when she went diving last time.
“But Ms. Miller gave us a house, so we should go and thank her.”
When Candy heard this, she felt disappointed, but she felt that Chloe

On their way back, Chloe received another call from Mortland.
“Hello, Ms. Nelson…”
Chloe felt annoyed.
“No, I’ve already found a house.”
The other party was stunned, and before the person could say anything, Chloe hung up the phone.
“Who is it?”
“Sale of Mortland.”
Candy felt a little strange and said, “Does she call you every day?”
Chloe nodded and said, “Maybe it’s because the real estate market is not doing well these days?”
“No way!”
to en.swt
No matter how bad the economy was, Mortland would never ask them to buy houses in a rush.
“Forget it.”
Anyway, now that she had found a house, she thought they probably wouldn’t call her again.
On the other side, in Paramount Airlines’ office.
“Mr. Shawn, Mortland just informed me that Ms. Nelson did not go to see the house.”Exclusive
Michael paused and said, “Why didn’t she go?”
“She said she had found another house.”
Michael was stunned and said, “From the Cloud Group?”
Ethan shook his head and said, “I’m not sure.”
As soon as Ethan said this, Michael immediately glared at him.
Ethan suddenly felt aggrieved because he really didn’t know.
Candy couldn’t help but ask while sitting in the car, “Why didn’t you ask Quinn to come with you today?”
Chloe looked helpless and said, “What do you think?”
“Are you still bothered by the fact that he likes you?”
In response to this, Chloe smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t help it.”
It was hard to accept that the one she treated as her younger brother suddenly became her suitor.
Candy patted her on the back and said, “Actually, I think Quinn is pretty good. Don’t care too much about his age. He has protected you several times.”
She wanted to try her best to enlighten Chloe.
She really wanted to get them together.
“Just stop making trouble.”
Chloe shook her head. She was not interested in Quinn.
Candy sighed, “If Quinn knew that you rejected him because you treated him as your younger brother, he would be heartbroken.”
Chloe pursed her lips. She had just ended a marriage.
Let alone whether she liked Quinn or not, there was a great difference between her, a divorced woman, and a college student.
She’d better not hurt others.
Back in Urban Lane, Quinn was testing Jessica.
Although they had never had any assessment within the team before, Chloe and Candy knew that Quinn was always strict with his work.
It might not be easy for Jessica to pass the test.
When Jessica saw the two of them
coming back, she immediately out in pain, “Jioleek, save me, Quinn

When she came out of school today, she never expected that Quinn would let her complete the project of

At that time, she was still trying to break into Chloe’s system until the last second.
So Chloe pulled Candy to sit on the sofa, giving Jessica a quiet environment.
“Time up!”cHãptêrsf-Low_com owns © this.
As Quinn spoke, Jessica was still staring at the screen intently.
Quinn walked over and took her keyboard directly.
“Following the rule!”
The assessment was different from the actual operation. Time was limited in an assessment.
Jessica was a little dissatisfied and said, “But…”
“Stop arguing.”
Quinn spoke very little in front of people other than Chloe.
Chloe stood up at this time, walked to Jessica’s side, and bent down to look at the program on her computer.
She blinked and asked Quinn to return the keyboard.
A few code was changed, and then it worked.
Not only had the protection network been strengthened, but procedures had also been set up to track and input viruses.
Jessica looked at Chloe in disbelief.
None of the solutions Jessica thought of worked. How come Chloe solved the problem in less than three minutes? And Chloe’s code was something Jessica had never thought of before.
Jessica suddenly felt a little discouraged. Compared with Chloe, Jessica thought herself incapable.
She secretly changed the ranking of the website, but in reality, her ability couldn’t even make it into the top ten.
“So did I fail the test?”
Quinn was about to speak when he was stopped by Chloe.
“This project is a bit too difficult for you alone, but you have completed 90% of it, which is pretty good. So you still pass.’ Chloe had never been a very strict teacher or supervisor. She had her own set of standards when judging people. Jessica’s expression changed when she heard that. In the end, she just thanked Chloe and picked up her bag to leave.
“I still have classes at school. I’ll go now,” She said.
Candy wanted to stop her and give her some advice, but Chloe shook her head.
She believed Jessica needed to figure it out on her own. Knowing one’s own strengths was also a must.
Quinn cleaned up the table and said, “How’s the house tour going today?”
Candy became excited when she heard this and said, “You don’t know how smooth it is…”
Chloe shook her head helplessly and did not interrupt her.
“Chloe, you have a phone call!”
At that, Chloe picked up the phone.
Then she heard a man saying, “Hello, Ms. Nelson, I’m Matthew.”
Chloe subconsciously glanced at Candy, who was beside her.
“Mr. Jenkins, is there anything I can help you with?”Text © 2024 ch.aPTéRSf_lOW/-COM.
“Rachel caused you trouble last time, so I brought her here today to apologize to you. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to come out and meet us.”
Chloe didn’t take that matter seriously. Although the sight of Rachel holding a knife and trying to hurt herself was indeed quite scary.
But as long as Rachel wouldn’t bother Chloe anymore, it would be fine.
“I hope you can be here.” Seeing that Chloe didn’t say anything, Matthew added.
Chloe really couldn’t refuse this.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Candy and said, “Matthew wants to see me.”
“Why? Let me tell you, none of the family’s kids are simple. He want to see you for something.
You’d better not go.”
Wa
Seeing Candy’s serious expression, Chloe found it a little funny.
“Then Wesley isn’t simple.”
Candy blushed and said, “That’s different. Wesley and his brothers are not the same kind of people.”
“I see!”
Chloe felt that Candy and Wesley were a perfect match.
She then went there alone, without letting Quinn and Candy accompany her.
Matthew was very cautious. He found a restaurant that only received ten guests a day and booked the whole place.
When Chloe was led in by the waiter,
she felt as if she had entered a misty
forest. There were green plants everywhere and the air was
fresh. ,

At the dining table, Matthew saw Chloe coming over and looked to Rachel who was sitting next to him.
Rachel pouted very reluctantly. If Matthew hadn’t asked her to come over to apologize, she would never have come.
She thought she didn’t do anything to Chloe and told the truth, so she didn’t know why should she apologize. “Ms. Nelson, please take a seat.”
After Chloe sat down, Rachel coughed a few times uncomfortably and placed her hands lightly on her thighs. “Chloe, I was too impulsive when I went to your house that day. I apologize to you.”
“It’s all over now. I understand how you feel and I accept your apology.”
Rachel glanced at Matthew next to her and said, “She accepted my apology, so can I leave now?”
She thought Matthew just took her.

Matthew looked at her and nodded gently, saying, “Wait for me in the car.”
Rachel put down her napkin and left, leaving only Chloe and Matthew at the table.
“Mr. Jenkins, do you have anything else to say?”
She didn’t want to have dinner with Matthew.
“Ms. Nelson, I think you’re not interested in Quinn, right?”
Chloe frowned slightly and said, “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.”
Matthew smiled gently and said, “Then let me tell you something about you. Candy is related to you, right?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
When Chloe heard him mention Candy, she looked gloomy.
She pursed her lips and waited for Matthew to continue.
“Wesley is the eldest son of the Jenkins family and represents the Jenkins family. Candy was originally going to marry Jenkins’s father but suddenly became Jenkins’s girlfriend. Don’t you think this is ridiculous?”
Chloe just found it funny when she heard this.
“If you want to say it’s ridiculous, then it’s the Jenkins family’s fault. Richard wants to marry someone who is 20 years younger than him and is his son’s girlfriend. No matter how, it’s the Jenkins family’s fault. What does it have to do with Candy?”
Matthew was good at shirking responsibility.
“Whatever the problem is, I just want to resolve it.”
Chloe said, “Then what do you think is the solution?”
“Candy and Wesley must break up completely, and members of the Jenkins family will not marry anyone from the Parker family again.”
Chloe sneered and said, “Wesley is your eldest brother, and you are only the third child. Do you have the right to decide this?”
Matthew’s face froze. What he hated most was people saying that he was Wesley’s younger brother.
They were the same age, but just because Matthew’s mother was not Richard’s first wife, he could only be the third child.
He didn’t even have the right to inherit the Opal Group.
For the sake of Candy, Wesley even went against Richard.
Matthew thought he should resolve the issue.
Chloe looked at him in silence and sneered, saying, “I’m sorry, Mr. Matthew Jenkins if you apologize to me today for Rachel, then I will accept it. For other matters, you have the wrong person.” After saying that, she stood up, without eating the food on the table, and walked away.
If she had known that Matthew wanted to see her today for such a boring thing, she would not have come.
After leaving the restaurant, Chloe felt like she had wasted an hour.
She was about to go to her car but unexpectedly heard a quarrel coming from not far away.
She didn’t want to get involved, but the voice sounded familiar to her, so she looked over anyway.
When she looked up, she saw William being blocked by two foreigners.

“What are you doing?”
The foreigners seemed to have not expected a woman to suddenly appear, and they looked surprised.
“I have called the police!”
The domestic public security had always been better than that abroad.
When they heard Chloe calling the police, the two men instantly felt guilty.
After swearing a few times, they reluctantly left.
After the two of them walked away, Chloe looked at William and said, “Why did they make things difficult for you?”
William shook his head helplessly
and said, “Because they said that
look down on them by not cooking their country’s food in the restaurant.”
Chloe choked, thinking that this reason was too ridiculous.
But then she realized that the problem of discrimination seemed to be quite serious abroad.
“Did you drive here? If not, I’ll take you home.”
Chloe no longer bothered to ponder the previous question and offered to take him home.
“Thank you, Chloe.”
William did not refuse at all.
The two walked toward the direction
where she parked the car. Just as Chloe unlocked the car, a black Rolls-Royce drove over.
The familiar car model made Chloe slightly stunned, and the next second she saw Michael coming out of the car.
The one who got out of the car before him was the child sitting in the driver’s seat.
“Slow down, don’t run.”
His steady voice rang out, causing Chloe, who hadn’t gotten into the car yet, to tremble all over.
“Chloe, get in the car!”
William’s shout made both of them look towards him.
Chloe noticed Michael’s gaze moving towards her almost instantly.
He got out of the car and saw Chloe standing next to William, and then he looked gloomy.
The kid who just got out of the car saw him standing there motionless, so the kid walked over and held his hand, saying, “Why don’t you move?” Chloe stared at the child, wondering where he came from.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other, William also walked around from the other side of the car and said, “Chloe, this is…”
He knew Michael for sure, but he deliberately asked Chloe at this time. His intention was self-evident.
“Michael.”
He didn’t introduce himself but just said his name, as arrogant as ever.
“Hello, I’m William.”
William stretched out his hand, but Michael showed no intention of shaking hands with him.
He just looked at Chloe, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“Chloe, let’s go back.”
William withdrew his hand nonchalantly and called Chloe again.
Michael was stunned when he heard this.
Chloe withdrew her gaze and got into the driver’s seat without saying a word.
After the car drove away, William said, “Why is there a child next to him? They look quite alike.” Did they look alike?
Chloe subconsciously thought of the child in her belly.
But before, Michael had never told her about the child.
She didn’t know who he was, what his name was, or what his relationship with Michael was.
“Don’t worry, maybe the child is not his.”
It was unclear whether William was comforting or hurting her.
Chloe gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, “Where do you live?”
After getting out of the car, William asked, “Would you like to go upstairs for a cup of coffee?”
Chloe shook her head and said, “No, maybe next time.”
She couldn’t get used to drinking coffee at the homes of people she didn’t know well.
And she remembered she had told Candy before that she felt there was something wrong with William.
The things she asked the team to investigate hadn’t gotten any result, so she didn’t dare let her guard down against William.
But William did not force it. After Chloe watched him go upstairs, she received a text message.
He transferred her one thousand dollars sent a message: your relationship with him? Do live
together? Are you too is
These three questions in a row gave Chloe a headache.
She wanted to say it was none of his business but she felt there was no need to say this, so she deleted it and drove home.
Michael sat in the restaurant, waiting for Chloe’s reply anxiously.
He even fantasized about when William would go home with Chloe, sit on the sofa, and watch a movie together…
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.
“You’re almost breaking the fork in your hand.”

He shook his head and said, “No beautiful aunt will like you if you are like this.”
Michael was stunned, and then glared at him and said, “You are just a kid, what do you know?”
The little boy suddenly became
serious when he heard this and said,
“Why don’t I understand? In our
school, if the boys like a girl, they will ter to a meal and give her gifts. They will also stand up for her.”
After that, he looked Michael up and down again and said, “What have you done to pursue girls?”
Michael choked.
How come an elementary school student also knew dating?
“Just eat, or I’ll take you home now.”
The little boy became even more unhappy. He was doing this for Michael’s good, but Michael didn’t appreciate it! During the meal, Michael had been waiting for the child opposite him to finish eating, as he had no appetite at all.
In ten minutes, he asked numerous times, “Have you finished eating?”
Finally, the little boy was annoyed by him and finally put down the knife and fork.
“I’m done eating, don’t rush me!”
Michael immediately sent the boy home and then drove to find Chloe.
Chloe came out of the bathroom and was about to sit on the sofa to play with her phone when she heard the doorbell.
Candy already left. Chloe was alone at home now.
She thought Candy had forgotten to bring something, so she put on her slippers and went to open the door, still muttering, “I told you to look carefully to see if you left anything when you left, but you didn’t listen. Now…”
Before she could finish her words, she saw Michael’s tall figure standing in front of her.
She frowned and said, “What are you doing here?”
“You didn’t reply to my message, so I was worried about you.”
Chloe chuckled. He was worried about her now.
“Well, now you know that I’m fine, you can go.”
She was about to close the door after she finished speaking, but Michael quickly stretched his arm in, and the door pressed down on his arm mercilessly.
He gasped in pain, which scared Chloe as well.
“What’s wrong with you? You don’t want your hands anymore?”
He was the captain and had injured his hand before. The doctor said that his hands were very precious and nothing could happen to his hands again.
He just reached out without hesitation. Wasn’t he afraid that he would never be able to fly a plane again?
Seeing the anger on Chloe’s face, Michael did not feel sad. Instead, he smiled.
She was angry, which meant she still felt sorry for him, right?
Chloe looked at his smile and felt that he was insane. She wondered why didn’t she realize that he was mentally ill before.
“Give me three minutes.”
Chloe stared at him for a long time, then looked at his blue hands, and finally did not close the door, but she did not intend to invite him in.
“What do you want to say?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Whose child is this in your belly?”
Chloe didn’t expect that he was still struggling with this at this time.
Her face turned slightly cold, and she said, “It’s not yours anyway.”
Michael felt disappointed, but he said, “It doesn’t matter. You may have misunderstood what I said before. I say it again. I don’t care
whose child is in your belly. As long as you are willing to come back, I will.”
Before he could finish his words, Chloe closed the door.
“Three minutes are up!”
She didn’t want to listen to his nonsense.
Michael stood outside the door with a gloomy face.
The next day, Chloe packed up and planned to go to Bright Moon International.
But as soon as she went downstairs, she was blocked by Madeline and Maya downstairs. “Chloe, are you really going to sue us in court? We are your relatives. Aren’t you too cruel?” Upon hearing this, Chloe knew that it was Felipe who asked the court to send a subpoena to Madeline. She said coldly, “When you spread rumors online, you never thought about the fact that we are a family.”
After Wendy passed away, Chloe no longer had any good feelings towards the people in the White family.
What was the point of maintaining a relationship with someone who didn’t even come to visit when her sister died?
“Maya was just angry by that time, she didn’t really want to do anything to you, so hurry up and withdraw the lawsuit, do you hear me?”
Chloe didn’t know why Madeline thought she was qualified to order Chloe around.
“I ordered the court’s subpoena. The
judge will naturally decide the
impact of Maya on me. If you
not satisfied, you can of course find a lawyer to defend you.”
What Chloe meant was very clear. She would not withdraw the lawsuit.
Maya looked gloomy and said, “Chloe, are you really going to force me to death? You are just mad that went to Raramount Airlines and worked in the same company with your husband. Are you jealous? You are so petty. No wonder Michael wants to divorce you!”
Chloe sneered, “Tell these to the judge.”
She wanted to leave, but Madeline and Maya disagreed and raised their hands to grab Chloe’s arms.
Chloe dodged but didn’t see the steps next to her, and she couldn’t stand steadily and was about to fall down.
She looked surprised and subconsciously covered her stomach.
Just when she thought she was going to fall, William appeared behind her, firmly grasped her waist and supported her. On the other side, Michael also rushed over.
He was a step slower than William, so he was furious when he saw her leaning in William’s arms.
Chloe naturally saw him as well, with some surprise in her eyes.
She wondered if he had stayed downstairs the whole night without leaving.
William stopped Madeline and Maya and said, “You are intentionally hurting someone. If anything happens to her, you will all go to jail.”
When Madeline heard this, she was shocked again.
He looked back and forth between the two of them several times and said, “Don’t try to scare me. She’s fine now. Chloe, are you going to withdraw the lawsuit or not?”
Michael walked over with a gloomy face, and when Maya noticed him, her face suddenly turned pale.
When Madeline saw Michael, she also looked flustered.
“Mr. Shawn, why are you here?”
Maya looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. She said, “Mr. Shawn, I didn’t make a mistake with the company’s project. I checked it several times. Mr. Shawn, you must believe me. Someone wants to frame me!”
Maya looked at Chloe with reluctance, hinting at something.
“If you come to cause trouble for Chloe again, I will immediately let Paramount Airlines’ lawyer hold you accountable.”
Maya was frightened and stood there trembling all over.
That was millions of dollars.
If she failed to pay the money, she would have to mortgage her property.
Even if Madeline’s house was used as collateral, it would not be worth several million dollars.
She didn’t want to live on the streets.
After Madeline and Maya left dejectedly, Michael was about to talk to Chloe, but William spoke first.
“Are you okay? Do you need me to take you to the hospital for a checkup?”
Chloe smiled and shook her head, saying, “I’m fine, but why are you here?” She met William frequently these days.
“I bought a house here, and I came here today to check the renovation.”
Chloe was a little surprised and said, “You bought a house in Urban Lane?”
“The price here is acceptable, the location is good, and now it’s at a low price, so I bought it.”
Chloe nodded. The housing prices in Urban Lane had always been quite good, otherwise she would not have bought a house here.
Michael felt very uncomfortable when he saw that the two people ignored him.
“There are so many properties, but you bought the same one as Chloe. Stop acting.”
Chloe looked gloomy and glared at him.
William looked at Michael and just smiled slightly.
“I wonder if Ms. Nelson has time have dinner with me. I don’t know much about the supporting facilities around Urban Lane, but you can refuse if you think it’s troublesome.”
Chloe suddenly remembered that he had appeared downstairs in this community before.
It turned out that it was because he bought the house here but not because he wanted to do anything to her or Candy.
“Then wait until I get off work.”
Seeing that Chloe did not refuse, Michael was extremely angry.
Couldn’t she see that William was interested in her?
It was just a neighborhood, why did he need someone to show him around? He was not a child!
Chloe went to Bright Moon International, and unexpectedly Asher was there too.
She clocked in and had no intention
of getting involved. Just as she about to get off the elevator was
she
a call from Smith
Walking to the window, she answered the phone.
“Smith.”
“Jioleek, I have thought seriously about the suggestion you gave me before. James’s surgery can’t be delayed any longer, but I am not confident in the technology here, so IExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
need him to go to Mamaica for treatment.”
Inet
Chloe had heard James repeat over and over again in her ear that Smith would not agree to the surgery.
She subconsciously felt that this matter was somewhat impossible.
Now she suddenly received a call from Smith, and when she heard that he compromised for James, she felt happy.
“Of course, Smith, if you agree to let James have the surgery, he will be very happy when he knows!”
Smith sighed softly, “I hope so.”
It was already good if he didn’t make malicious assumptions about her.
“Then will you wait for him in Mamaica?”
“I have something to do here, so I will be there a little later.”
After Chloe hung up the phone, she wanted to tell James the good news as soon as possible.
She walked towards the office and heard James and Asher arguing inside.
“James, I treat you as a friend, but you can’t treat my sister like this.”
James raised his head casually and said, “How did I ruin your sister? Just because I didn’t accept her love?”
He didn’t like Vicky, but what was the problem?
“Tell me why don’t you like Vicky.”
Asher folded his arms across his chest and sat on the sofa, wanting to hear James explain everything.
James was confused. He didn’t know what Vicky had said to Asher which made Asher to question him today.
Just when he didn’t know how to get rid of Asher, he looked up and saw Chloe standing outside.
He thought of an idea. When Chloe realized something was wrong, it was too late.
“I like someone like Chloe, and I’m not interested in Vicky.”
Chloe said, “Damn it!”
Asher looked at James in disbelief. He didn’t expect that James liked Chloe.
“You’re not kidding, are you? You like Chloe?”
What exactly was it about Chloe that attracted James?
He admitted that Chloe was indeed beautiful and had a good figure.
After leaving Michael, she seemed to become more and more capable.
She had a special personality and was different from other women.
She seemed to be quite attractive.
But Vicky was not bad either!
“James, Vicky has never been married.”
Vicky had never even been in love, and she was very innocent.
In this respect, Chloe couldn’t compare with Vicky.
“I like experienced people.”
Asher was speechless for a moment.
“Vicky is my sister, and we are good friends. Can you at least show me some respect?”
He really couldn’t find any other reason.
James put down the pen in his hand and looked at him, saying, “Then I should just be together with you.”
James was 6.2 feet tall and was very attractive.
When Asher heard his words, he immediately got goosebumps all over his body.
“I’m not gay!”
James leaned back and said, “What a pity.”
Asher didn’t even dare to ask him why.
When Asher left, there was a look of dejection and relief in his eyes,

When he saw Chloe standing outside, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
In the end, he only said, “James is a good person!”
Chloe held back her laughter, and after watching him leave, she finally laughed out loud.
Entering the office, Chloe asked, “Does your wound still hurt recently?”
James knocked on the table and said, “I’m used to it.”
If it didn’t hurt, he wouldn’t feel safe.
“Smith called me just now.”
After hearing this, James was stunned for a few seconds, then he looked up at her and asked, “What did he say?”
He didn’t realize that his voice was trembling slightly when he asked this question.This belongs to CHApTe/rSFlöw_.COM – ©.
It was as if he was afraid that the
answer Smith gave would not match thought, but he was also
afraid that it was as he expected.
“He agreed that you can have the surgery, but you have to go to Mamaica.”
When Chloe said this, James was stunned for several seconds.
“Did he agree?”
After he was attacked and injured in the army, Smith never allowed anyone to mention the incident again.
Over the years, even though his
sequelae required him to take
painkillers all the time, Smith.net
agreed to send him for surgery.
Why did he suddenly agree now?
“What terms did you exchange with him?”
Chloe shook her head helplessly, “There are no conditions. Smith agreed to your surgery for the sake of your body, it has nothing to do with me.”
Chloe didn’t know why James was so biased against Smith.
They should be the closest people.
In a way, Smith could be considered his godfather.
Upon hearing this, James’s eyes narrowed. “If I go to Mamaica, aren’t you afraid that I will never come back?”
He thought, “Doesn’t this woman wish I could just stay here?”
Chloe replied calmly, “Such a big company, it’s not like it can’t be turned around without you. Besides, I’m following Smith’s arrangements. He wants you to go to Mamaica for treatment. Bright Moon International is not something I should worry about.”
James teased, “If I leave, will you miss me?”
Chloe was taken aback, pausing for a moment before responding, “Don’t do it. It doesn’t suit you. You’re too greasy!”
This time it was James’s turn to be speechless.
He thought, “Chloe is an unusual woman. She even remains unmoved to my romantic words.”
He asked, “Are you frigid?”
Chloe tossed the documents at him, shouting, “Get lost!”
James had received professional training, so he caught the document that suddenly flew over effortlessly.
He coughed twice and composed himself. “The surveillance camera you installed last time has produced results.” Chloe’s eyes lit up, “Whose side is he on?”
She remained impressed by the plaid-shirt guy from last time.
He looked too honest and low-key and had almost no sense of existence at all.
It was indeed a smart move to let such a person be the traitor.
She wondered how James had caught him.
James said, “Don’t worry about that. Anyway, thank you for your help. I will give you a bonus.”
Since it involved commercial secrets, it was normal for James to keep it confidential.
Chloe understood it and asked, “How much is the bonus?”
James looked up at her and replied, “You’re a renowned hacker and shouldn’t be short on cash. Don’t be too fixated on money, okay?”
It really didn’t match her beautiful face.
Chloe retorted, “What’s wrong with saving more now? I’m pregnant, and raising a child is expensive.”
After hearing her words, James remembered that she was pregnant.
He thought, “It’s been a week or two, how come her stomach still looks so flat? I always forgot that.”
He asked, “Are you planning to give birth here?”
Chloe retorted, “Or else?”
James chuckled, “Aren’t you afraid that Michael will demand a paternity test as soon as the child is born?”
He felt that Michael wouldn’t give up so easily.
Chloe was stunned. She had never thought about this question.
With her pregnancy still in its early stages, she had time to deliberate before making a decision.
James said, “You won’t lose any of the bonus. I have something else to do today, so you can leave now.”
Chloe glanced at him, noting that it was rare for him to have something to do.
Instead of rushing home, she returned to her workstation.
As soon as she arrived, a colleague pulled her aside.
She asked, “Chloe, do you know how to do this program? Please teach me. I have been studying on my own for three days and still don’t understand it!”
Looking at her colleague’s pitiful appearance, Chloe decided to help.
l.ne
For the next two hours, she patiently explained to her colleague. A complicated procedure suddenly became simple in her hands.

Her colleague was confused but listened intently.
“This program is too advanced for you right now,” Chloe advised, “Start with the basics, and don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re an intern, after all.”
Chloe couldn’t help but think that college students put too much pressure on themselves.
They challenged the difficult program right from the start.
If they couldn’t do it, they would be stressed.
Her colleague looked at her with admiration, “Chloe, you are really amazing. You can even crack such a difficult program!”
Chloe smiled and didn’t reply.
Suddenly, a voice sounded, “It’s just a simple program. What’s so difficult about that?”
Vicky approached Chloe with her arms crossed, her eyes still brimming with disdain.
Chloe was uninterested in arguing with her. She packed up her things and was ready to leave.
Vicky sneered, “Wait! What are you swaggering about? If you’re so capable, dare you compete with me?”
Chloe looked at her in surprise, “Competing what?”
She was most interested in competitions.
Vicky replied, “You’re great at programming, right? Then let’s compete in programming!”
The reason why Vicky was so confident was because she had been studying this at home for the past few days.
She even learned many cases of Jioleek, the most amazing hacker today.
Her hacker friend had taught her many times, and finally, she learned Jioleek’s one case.
She didn’t believe Chloe could surpass Jioleek.
Chloe’s eyebrows rose slightly at the challenge, “Do you really want to compete with me in programming?”
She thought, “You’re over-confident. How dare you?”
Vicky, however, looked very serious and nodded vigorously, saying, “Yes, let’s compete in programming.”
Just then, James came out of the office and saw Vicky.
He asked, frowning, “Vicky, what are you doing here again?”
Vicky said grievously, “I just want to compete with Chloe. I didn’t cause any trouble for her. Can’t I even do that?”
James glanced at Chloe, ensuring she wasn’t being bullied, before asking, “What’s the point of competing with her? She’s just good at programming. If I win, doesn’t that mean she’s no longer needed at the company?”
James was stunned when he heard this. He thought, “Is she crazy? Doesn’t she know who Chloe is?”
Chloe smiled, “How about this? The loser leaves Bright Moon International.”
The onlookers were stunned by the bold wager.
Vicky didn’t expect Chloe to say that.

So she said, “Okay, let’s compete, and whoever loses gets to leave!”
Chloe smiled as she prepared to sit. down, but James beside her

Vicky looked at James, who had lost his temper, feeling angry and aggrieved. “Why do you protect her like this? Are you afraid that she will leave the company?”
James was in a dilemma. He thought, “How can I make Vicky understand that if the competition continued, she will be kicked out?
Although I don’t like her. She is Asher’s sister after all.
I can’t drive her away.
Otherwise, Asher will come to make trouble with me.”
Chloe watched the exchange, feeling irritable.
Her phone vibrated, and she saw William asking her if she was off work.
Only then did she remember that she had an appointment with William today.
Chloe asked, “Do you want to compete or not? If not, I’ll leave first. I have an appointment.”
James blurted out, “With whom?”
Vicky grew even more jealous and said, “Why do you care who she dates!”
Seeing this, Chloe decided to leave this place of trouble immediately.
Downstairs, Chloe was a little surprised to see William, “Mr. Clark, why are you here?”
She thought, “In fact, he can just wait for me in Urban Lane. There’s no need for him to come here.”
William explained, “It’s lunch time
now, so come over and have a
J.net
meal with you, just as a thank you for explaining the community facilities to me later.”
William smiled politely without causing Chloe any discomfort.
He asked, “What to eat?”
Chloe wanted to eat smoked salmon. But she remembered that William was a senior chef, so she let him choose instead. She said, “You decide. I’m fine with anything.”
William decided to eat steak. The restaurant was not far from Urban Lane and convenient for them to go back after eating. The two entered the restaurant, and William asked, “I didn’t book a private room. Do you mind?”
Chloe shook her head, “Of course not. A private room would be a bit of a waste for us two.”
The private rooms in this restaurant were mostly tables for ten people, which was unnecessary for them.
Before they could order food, Chloe saw some acquaintances walking in.
