Chapter 9 Carol's Visit
- "Chloe, think about it. Aaron is so rich. If you want to reconcile with him, given your looks and his feelings for you, Aaron will agree."
- "Just be nice to him when he comes back!"
- "Then everyone will be happy, right?"
- Celine held Chloe's arm.
- Chloe looked at Celine in confusion. "Why do you want me to reconcile with Aaron?"
- "I finally divorced him and got rid of that loser. Why should I reconcile with him?"
- "Celine, has Aaron bribed you to purposely say this?"
- Celine was also stunned. "No, Chloe, I just realised that Aaron is not as despicable as you think!"
- "Even Vincent may not have his prestigious status!"
- "So, I just wanted you to ... "
- Chloe sighed. "Celine, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
- "Even if Aaron has provided you with some benefits, can they be compared to our sisterhood of more than ten years?"
- Celine blushed.
- Celine didn't expect Chloe to think that she had been bribed!
- Celine could indeed feel the lack of trust in Chloe's words.
- Indeed. Even if Aaron wanted to bribe her, how could it compare to their sisterhood for more than ten years?
- But what about Chloe?
- Had Chloe ever thought about their sisterhood before doubting her?
- Did Chloe ever trust her?
- "Chloe!"
- Celine's eyes turned red. "Do you think I am that kind of person?"
- Celine left immediately. She shouldn't come here.
- Celine shouldn't have told Chloe. She should let Chloe be submerged in her mistake, which led to the Ramona Company's bankruptcy!
- Celine walked downstairs. Gina noticed Celine's angry look. "Celine, what's wrong with you?"
- Celine put on her shoes without saying a word. She walked outside and rushed into the heavy rain.
- Chloe was lying on the bed. She was unable to stop coughing. She was weak, and her face was pale.
- Chloe also didn't know what she had done.
- Why did she get so agitated when someone mentioned Aaron?
- Could it be that she had made a mistake?
- Chloe trembled all over. The cold feeling made her tighten the cup in her hand.
- She fell asleep quietly at some point.
- …
- …
- Villa number 1 in Oceanus Bay.
- Aaron was lying on the sofa, with Jaden, the vice president of Skylark Group, standing beside him.
- "Mr. Louis, after leaving Dynasty Pavilion, Ms. Louis went to the Parker family. She asked the Parker family to send a card to our Skylark Group on her behalf."
- Jaden took out the gilded greeting card and handed it to Aaron.
- Aaron took the card and glanced at it.
- What on earth did Carol do to come to Lagoon City?
- In one day, Carol first dealt with the Parker family. Then, she showed her dominance in front of all the prestigious families in Lagoon City and broke Vincent's arm in public.
- Finally, Carol contacted Skylark Group through the Parker family.
- "I see, anything else?"
- Aaron put the greeting card aside.
- Jaden thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Louis also went to the bank and asked the accompanying driver to withdraw some money ... "
- "Withdraw some money?"
- Aaron raised his eyes slightly. He felt that the amount Jaden mentioned was probably not small. "Can you be more specific?"
- Jaden replied, "Ten million US dollars ... "
- Aaron sighed and rubbed his temples. His sister was probably going to cause some trouble again!
- …
- …
- Silent night.
- The dawn broke.
- Chloe woke up and stretched lazily. It was already eight o'clock in the morning.
- Chloe still needed to handle the mess at Ramona Company. She changed her clothes, put on makeup, and drove out of the house without having time to eat breakfast.
- Gina sat at the dining table and couldn't help but mutter, "You never wake up early and come back late every day. No one even accompanies me for meals. You might as well not come back at all!"
- Before Gina finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
- Thinking that it was Chloe who had returned, Gina hurriedly walked to the door and opened it. However, standing in front of her was a stranger.
- This woman wore sunglasses and a black windbreaker. She had an extraordinary aura. Her figure and looks were probably even more impressive than her daughter, Chloe.
- Gina looked at her and asked, "Are you looking for Chloe?"
- The woman didn't speak. Instead, she looked at Gina. Is this middle-aged woman in front of her and the woman from yesterday who kicked the Louis family heir out of the house?
- How ridiculous!
- This woman is none other than Aaron's sister, Carol!
- Yesterday, Carol made it clear that she would come to the Sallow family today.
- Aaron thought Carol was just bluffing and never expected that she would come today.
- "Is Chloe at home?"
- Carol walked into the house. Gina looked at Carol's appearance, knowing that this woman was probably either rich or noble, and quickly put on a smile.
- "No. She just went to work!"
- "Please have a seat. I'll get you some tea."
- "I'll call Chloe right away and ask her to come back quickly!" Gina said.
- Carol shook her head. "No, it's okay!"
- "Since Chloe is not here, then I will talk with you!"
- Listening to Carol's words with a hint of sarcasm, Gina felt that there must be something wrong.
- Could it be that this person is not Chloe's friend?
- Carol sat on the sofa. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Carol, Aaron's sister!"
- Gina was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. The smile on her face disappeared and turned into a sarcastic look.
- "So, you are Aaron's sister?"
- "No wonder I smell a strong scent of poverty!"
- "It's true that birds of a feather flock together!"
- "Did you come here to collect Aaron's stuff?"
- "Sorry, I've thrown away all his junk."
- "You probably have to look in the trash can!"
- Gina crossed her arms and snorted.
- Carol took a sip of tea leisurely and spit out a piece of tea leaf. "These grasses can also be used to brew tea?"
- Shaking her head, Carol realised she had overestimated the Sallow family. The tea she casually took from her house would be far superior to this tea.
- It's ridiculous that the Sallow family would entertain guests with such things.
- Gina refused to back down and insisted. "We reserve our excellent tea at home for entertaining people, not dogs!"
- "The Louis family are losers!"
- "Besides being poor, their son turns out to be useless and can only become a matrilocal son-in-law!"
- "He came to our house for money. But ask him to do some work. How dare he get angry and run away?"
- "Your family deserves to be poor enough to let your son become a matrilocal son-in-law!"
