Chapter 625
Viviana was still fussing over the gifts she was preparing for Keira. Though she had just made a firm stance, she ended up caving in.
“Don’t worry, I won’t regret this. As for caving in.” Chloe started turning around as she finished her sentence, speaking slowly, “I am not the weakling I used to be.”
Hearing this, Jonah felt a pang in his heart, his eyes moistening. He remembered how Chloe was all jittery and cautious after her mother left, and how she pleaded after everything that had happened. It felt like it was just yesterday.
Back then, her pitiful look didn’t win her any chances. Chloe now was a completely different person from then.
She used to be so humble. Now, she radiated sheer determination.
“Chloe…” Jonah’s voice was full of helplessness. “Don’t worry, even if the Summers family goes broke, half of the assets are yours.”
Chloe didn’t say anything and headed to the door.
Seeing Chloe about to leave, Carolina shot up from the couch, asking Jonah loudly without any disguise, “What about the company shares? And Keira’s wedding gifts, shouldn’t you mention the shares?”
Jonah was so angry he was out of breath, “Carolina, I’m not dead yet! Are you trying to force your way to the shares?”
Chloe paused her steps, turned around, and looked at Jonah calmly. Though there wasn’t much emotion in his eyes, Jonah couldn’t help but feel pain and touched inside. He knew Chloe was worried about him. She was afraid that he couldn’t give out the shares and would be pissed to death by this woman.
“Force my way? It’s only fair! Keira is your granddaughter, and the company is hers to take over anyway! You giving her the shares now is perfect timing. What are you thinking, holding onto those shares? Are you planning to leave them for this woman?” Carolina said sharply. Her words were harsh and unreserved, pointing at Chloe without hesitation.
“What’s wrong with me giving the shares to Chloe? She’s my granddaughter too!” Jonah said.
Carolina scoffed, “You’re still thinking about her! She’s out to revenge on the Summers family, to ruin us! And you still want to give her shares, you’re getting confused!” “Then let her ruin our family!” Jonah was so angry he was out of breath. Even Chloe, standing so far away, could hear his heavy breathing. “Let it be ruined! Better than seeing your greedy, ugly faces!”
Carolina was clearly angry too, “Jonah, don’t twist the facts! I’m trying to protect the Summers family, and you are causing trouble here, you…”
“You’re not protecting the Summers family, you’re just satisfying your shallow vanity! I don’t need you to protect the family or to prosper it! We’ve been rich and poor! If you can’t handle it, then leave this family!” Jonah said.
Carolina was shaking with anger, “Jonah, how can you say such irresponsible things?! You just don’t care about our family anymore. Who’s been carrying the burden all these years! Let me ask you, do you want to live in poverty? Who in this world would want to live a lifetime with a poor man!”
“If you can’t handle a life of poverty, then leave!” Jonah said.
“You…” Carolina said.
