Chapter 1193
The moment she finished her sentence, the atmosphere in the living room instantly became quite awkward. Rose just walked into the villa from outside and heard this. She stopped dead in her tracks!
Chloe maintained silence for two seconds, then slowly turned to Carolina, her voice icy. “Engaged? Whom are you talking about?”
Carolina still kept her smile, “Of course, you and Mr. Rhys.”
Rhys stood there, dressed in a suit, very elegant with sharp features and blue eyes. If you only look at his appearance, he was indeed a handsome man and a gentleman.
“Chloe, I really like you, you’re my ideal wife.”
Chloe shifted her gaze from Carolina to Rhys while trying hard to conceal her anger, revealing a cold smile. “I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. I’m already engaged.”
Rhys‘ smile froze for a moment, and he turned to Carolina, whose smile faded a little.
“Rhys, I’ve told you before, in our country, children have always obeyed their parents‘ arranged marriages. The man she claimed to be her fiancé, we have never met him, and we don’t know whether he is reliable or not. So it couldn’t be taken seriously. She’s young and doesn’t follow the rules. She’s just talking nonsense.”
Rhys‘ face slowly recovered. Then he looked at Chloe and said, “Chloe, it’s a good thing that your country has such rules, otherwise, missing out on you would be such a pity.”
“But I want to miss out on you.” Chloe responded instantly, without any mercy. Carolina’s words left her speechless.
Obeying parents‘ arranged marriages? Wasn’t her engagement to Lance also arranged by her parents?
And then what? It was Carolina who arranged for Lance to be with Keira behind her back!
She had seen shameless people. But she couldn’t imagine that a person nearing the end of her life could still be so shameless. And that person was her grandma!
Chloe’s words made Rhys pause for a moment. He thought for a while but still chose to respond in a gentle manner. “I know some of your country’s customs. To marry you, I must give your family a gift, so I came back for this!”
Chloe calmed herself down, not wanting to let someone like Carolina affect her mood. “Since you understand, then you should know that I have already accepted my fiancé’s wedding gift. In the customs of my country, no woman would accept two gifts.”
“The gift should be given to the Summers family, to express gratitude for raising you! It should be given to us! What was your previous gift about? You accepted the gift yourself, what do you think of us?!”
Carolina suddenly said in a serious tone, her smile disappeared without a trace, leaving only coldness and dignity.
Chloe laughed coldly. “What do you think I consider you as?”
“I am your grandmother! You can’t deny that just because you want to!”
“Now you want to acknowledge me?”
“It’s a fact. We haven’t personally received the gift, which means we don’t agree with this marriage! You better return your previous gift as soon as possible! I have already received Rhys‘!”
The living room fell silent again for a while, then Chloe laughed coldly. “What gives you the right to say these words? Wasn’t my marriage to Lance arranged by you? You arranged for him to be with Keira behind my back, is this your so–called arrangement? What kind of elder are you?!”
Carolina still sat there, expressionless. “That fact only proves that Lance was not suitable for you!”
Chloe nodded, “You guys did a really shameless thing, but I still have to thank you. You’re right, Lance was indeed not suitable for me!”
Carolina chuckled, seeming very satisfied because Chloe didn’t end up with Lance; she believed Chloe should be grateful to her.
Looking at her like this, Chloe felt she was utterly shameless. After two seconds of silence, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on Chloe’s face. “How much gift did he give you that you would throw away your last bit of dignity for it?”
When Carolina heard Chloe’s words, her face finally turned ice–cold. “You’re so impolite! Do you know who you are talking to?!”
“Impolite? What are you, if I’m impolite?” Chloe was once again provoked by Carolina’s shamelessness today. Facing such a person who had long forgotten about family, what manners and respect should she maintain!
Respect for elders also depended on who they were, not for people like Carolina. She just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction today! She couldn’t stand shameless people!
Rhys‘ speech still carried the accent of Y Country. He could understand what they were saying, but if they spoke too fast, he couldn’t keep up. All he knew was that Chloe was arguing with her grandma.
After Chloe finished speaking, Carolina was so angry that she pointed at Chloe, unable to utter a single word, her face red with anger. And Chloe just gave her a cold glance, then turned to look at Rhys, saying coldly, “How much gift did you give her?!”
Rhys blinked his eyes, still comprehending.
“Chloe!” Rose suddenly called her, then came forward to take Chloe by the arm, and while walking towards the door, she said, “I’ve seen it today, your grandmother is a real piece of work.”
Chloe’s face didn’t look too good at that moment. Every time Carolina was mentioned, she felt disgusted!
Rose took her to the yard. All the boxes piled up in the yard were now open. Inside were dozens of boxes of cash, and a box of gold and silver jewelry. sparkling in the sunlight!
“It’s probably around two hundred million dollars! Your grandmother is really something, is she trying to sell you off?”
Rose couldn’t help but exclaim!
Having heard Carolina’s words in the house, and now seeing all this, she thought she was being super polite already. Carolina was just shameless to the
max.
Chloe took one look at that stuff, let out a sarcastic laugh and just marched right back inside.
