Chapter 166
“Yeah, yeah, don’t worry, we’ll definitely take good care of her!”
“Dad, Mrs. Olson…”
Keira’s face turned red as she stood at the door, shyly putting herself in Lance’s arms.
“Alright, alright, you’re always so noisy wherever you go! Sit down!”
Carolina spoke at that moment, her words sounded strict, but her tone was full of indulgence.
Chloe sat there quietly, feeling like an outsider amidst the laughter and chatter in the room.
There were so many moments when she wanted to stand up and just leave.
But she knew that doing so would be too disgraceful.
So she could only sit there quietly, watching the happy family scene unfold.
It wasn’t until everyone approached the dining table that her face suddenly changed.
“Sis, you’re here too! Keira looked both embarrassed and surprised.
And Lance’s smile froze on his face.
“Chloe, you’re here…
Chloe smiled faintly, not responding.
It was then that everyone in the room seemed to notice Chloe’s presence again, and the atmosphere became tense.
Jonah glanced at Chloe and sighed quietly, “Sit down, everyone!”
After everyone took their seats, the atmosphere at the table was still somewhat stifling.
“Serve the dishes.” Jonah ordered in a deep voice.
“Wait.”
Chloe finally spoke slowly, her face calm and composed.
Everyone looked at her.
“Let’s get things straight first. For example… why are there outsiders at the so–called Summers family dinner?”
She had known all along that Carolina’s involvement was not a good sign.
But she never expected the outcome to be so unpleasant!
Lauretta and Grover Olson looked embarrassed.
Carolina’s face darkened, and she took a deep breath before speaking in a deep voice.
“The main purpose of today is to discuss Keira and Lance’s marriage and set the engagement and wedding dates.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Chloe’s eyes were full of cold mockery.
“You and Lance were engaged. Today, we gather to formally dissolve your engagement. And while we’re at it, you’ll go on stage during the anniversary party and explain the situation, saying that due to personal issues, you unilaterally proposed to annul the engagement…”
Chloe sneered, Then the Summers family, in order to make up for their debt to the Olson family, immediately betroths Keira to Lance as compensation, so Keira won’t be seen as a homewrecker, and they can become a couple without worrying about gossip, right?”
As Chloe’s words fell, the entire room went silent for a moment.
After a while, Carolina’s face darkened, and she spoke.
1 know you’ve never liked Keira, but don’t you know Lance well enough? Lance and Keira have reached a point where they can’t be separated. If he could, he wouldn’t have made such a decision!*
At this moment, Lauretta looked guilty, nodding repeatedly, almost in tears.
“Chloe, it’s true, really. I noticed Lance’s fondness for Keira even before you went abroad, but he was always torn. He told me he couldn’t be irresponsible to you. For all these years, he’s been struggling in pain. If it weren’t for these undeniable feelings, he might have continued to be torn. Chloe, if you still love him, can you let him go? Let him be happy! Please? Can you let Lance go and let him be with Keira?”
