Chapter 677
“Yeah,” Chloe said, sighing and speaking with a sarcastic tone. “I guess both the Summers family and the Olson family believe that Keira will outdo me in the fragrance competition. If the Summers family really wants to buy my 15% stake with this huge sum of money, then the Olson family will probably have to pay
too…”
Just because of Keira’s words, both families unconditionally believed each other. In terms of winning people over, Chloe felt that she was far inferior to Keira. But their blind trust was bound to come at a price!
Damon gently stroked her hair. Her hair was soft and shiny, and had a natural healthy color. He loved it.
“Isn’t this perfect? This huge payment is destined to be yours.”
Chloe smiled, but her smile didn’t show much genuine joy.
“It’s just a bit sad that my mother’s efforts for the Summers family only amounted to this money in the end. They destroyed everything my mother had worked for over the years. I feel it’s not worth it for her. Marrying into the Summers family was a mistake.”
Damon hugged her shoulders and hugged her into his arms.
“But I have to thank her for this mistake. If it weren’t for her, how would I have met you?”
Chloe looked at him, her eyes full of gratitude and happiness.
“Yes. I am very grateful to her for giving me life.”
Damon smiled slightly and gently kissed her hair.
Chloe leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the warmth he gave her. This calm warmth was what she had always hoped for.
What was pure as Snow and Pure Snow? That perfume was the product of her placing all her hopes on Lance after her mother left. She thought that Lance, who was once gentle and handsome, would become her lifelong redemption. She never asked for much, just hoping that in this life, there would be a man who could give her a warm embrace and let her rely on him. A man who she would be willing to spend her life with in peace and quiet! But the person who gave her shoulders and arms was never Lance…
She should be grateful for this.
The two rested for a day and cured their jet lag. The next day, Chloe went to Starlight International.
She had been away for a week and had managed to handle quite a few things. Some urgent and necessary documents were still unfinished when Rose called.
“Chloe, how did the competition go?”
Chloe could hear the tension in her voice and could imagine Rose gripping her phone with a nervous expression.
“The results haven’t been announced yet. As for what will happen, we’ll have to wait until the award ceremony in two weeks, to find out.”
“Oh, I see…then why has Keira been openly proclaiming herself as the champion since she returned home on Valentine’s Day? It’s like she’s already won!”
“What?” Chloe raised her eyebrows.
Rose snorted, her voice tinged with sarcasm.
“Didn’t she come back home on Valentine’s Day? She was spotted at the airport and the reporters were waiting outside Pulse Entertainment’s door for an interview the next day. During the interview, she said she had full confidence in her work and received unanimous praise from the judges. Although she didn’t reveal her scores, from her attitude, she seemed to have seen the possibility of becoming the champion.”
