Chapter 1192
Chloe’s expression turned sour as she placed the box back on the shelf.
“How much?” she asked, looking up to see the cashier’s suggestive grin.
She pulled out her wallet to pay.
“Chloe, don’t tell me you’ve never actually used one with Mr. Harper?” Rose persisted.
Chloe’s cheeks flamed, and she grabbed her shopping bag to leave.
“Hold up, I’m not done yet!” Rose called out, hurriedly grabbing two packs of Durex condoms off the shelf. After paying, she rushed after Chloe.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you shy around me now?” Rose asked.
Chloe bit her lip, not responding. Condoms, she had truly never used them. It seemed she and Damon had never taken any precautions.
Rose kept grilling her, but then Chloe’s phone rang.
“I’ll grab your bags, Rose offered, taking the shopping bag from Chloe.
While Chloe was on the phone, Rose slipped the condoms into the bag. If she hadn’t used them before, she could try them today. Besides, she was certain Mr. Harper would be intrigued when he saw them.
Rose was too busy causing mischief to notice the sudden grim look on Chloe’s face as she checked her phone. She answered the call and hung up after a few words.
“Something up?… Got it.”
Only then did Rose notice the somber mood. Chloe looked upset. The smile faded from Rose’s face, and she grew serious. “What’s wrong?”
Chloe ended the call, furrowed her brows, and said,
“Carolina wants me to go over to the Summers family.”
Rose frowned. “You agreed?”
Chloe nodded. “She said someone’s looking for me.”
“Who would go to the Summers family to look for you?”
“I don’t know.”
Chloe shook her head, sighed, and then looked at Rose. “I have no idea why she wants me, you…”
“Of course I’m going with you!”
Rose cut her off, and after a moment of thought, Chloe agreed and nodded. “Alright.”
When they arrived at the Summers family, there were several trucks parked out front.
“What’s going on? Is someone here to collect debts from the Summers? Is your grandma unable to pay her debts and being forced to move? Is she calling you to help her?”
Chloe chuckled. “When did you become so imaginative?”
“It’s called deduction,” Rose emphasized.
Chloe gave a strained laugh, but it was short–lived. She had to admit she believed Rose’s theory. For Carolina, this wouldn’t be a big deal. If she was in debt, Chloe would have to pay it off, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. This expectation was built on the premise that Chloe wouldn’t hold Carolina accountable for her past errors.
A chill ran down Chloe’s spine. Before, Pulse Entertainment was barely hanging on and short on funds. She wasn’t sure if Carolina had any debts. She shouldn’t concern herself with these issues, but if Carolina was planning to push the problem onto her, she needed to come up with some sort of solution.
As they parked in front of the Summers family mansion, Chloe and Rose walked in together. The staff member who opened the door greeted Chloe with a smile. “Ms. Chloe.”
Chloe didn’t respond.
As they entered the yard, they noticed the staff whispering amongst themselves. They were surrounding dozens of boxes, stacked up conspicuously. Seeing Chloe, they quickly greeted her and dispersed.
“What’s all this? Are they really moving?” Rose asked curiously, but Chloe didn’t answer, she just frowned and walked into the living room. Even if they were paying off debts, the decision to mortgage the house wasn’t solely Carolina’s.
Rose stayed in the yard, studying the boxes with a serious expression.
When Chloe appeared, all eyes were on her. Carolina sat elegantly on the sofa in her burgundy dress. She seemed much older than before, but she was still smiling. Her smile didn’t fade when she saw Chloe, it only grew. “Chloe, you’re back?”
She greeted Chloe warmly, like a loving grandmother. This was a stark contrast to her previous cold and disdainful attitude towards Chloe. But given her past behavior, Chloe could only describe her current demeanor as hypocritical.
Would she change her attitude to match hers? Why bother?
But judging from her current demeanor, it didn’t seem like someone was here to collect debts. Rose’s prediction might’ve been off.
Her grandfather looked furious, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Seeing this, Chloe’s heart sank. She knew that being called back this time couldn’t mean anything good.
“Ms. Chloel”
A somewhat familiar voice called out, causing Chloe to turn her attention to the only stranger in the room. Deep blue eyes, and a distinctive face, he seemed familiar, but she couldn’t place him.
“Who are you?”
“It’s me, Ms. Chloe, we rode horses together in West Valley, don’t you remember?”
After his hint, Chloe knew who he was. “You’re Mr. Rhys.”
“That’s right! It’s me! I’m so happy you remember me.”
Chloe sauntered into the living room, sidling up next to her grandpa, and gently murmured, “Grandpa?”
Jonah suddenly clutched her hand, giving it a firm squeeze, “You know him?”
Chloe shot a glance at Rhys across the room, nonchalantly saying, “We’ve met once.”
That sentence seemed to make Jonah’s panting even heavier. Chloe furrowed her brows, clueless about his anger, but it was probably because of Mr. Rhys sitting across the room.
“Can I help you with something?”
At this moment, Carolina chimed in with a grin, “You two are already engaged, why so formal?”
