Chapter 730
“No, Chloe, you’ve got it all wrong. I didn’t discuss this with Keira, I just think…”
Lance trailed off, and Chloe didn’t fill in the silence. In the past, she would always find herself making excuses for him, but now, who was he to her?
Slowly, Lance realized that Chloe wasn’t going to cover for him like she used to. He paused, then confessed, “I asked you here for your own good…”
Chloe scoffed, “Oh? For my good?”
Her sarcasm made Lance fall silent on the other end of the line, his deep voice filled with helplessness
“Chloe, you need to see yourself as part of the Summers family. You know I never wanted to hurt you. In the future, the Summers and the Olsons will practically be one family. If you keep the relationship you have now with the Summers during this international competition, and when your grandma gets cornered, I’m afraid she’ll, she’ll try to make things difficult for you.”
Although Lance was treading carefully, she still heard it.
Before she could respond, Lance continued, “You’re part of the Summers, Chloe. You’re smart, so don’t make mistakes intentionally. If grandma really wants to make you suffer, what do you expect me to do?”
Chloe laughed, “Isn’t Keira going to be in charge of the company by then? Why do you keep bringing up Carolina? What can you do for me? Are you stuck between choosing Keira or me? You’re overthinking. What have you ever done for me, other than making my difficulties worse whenever I’m in trouble?”
Lance’s heart tightened, his voice filled with guilt and helplessness. “Chloe, I…”
“Do you really think that, even if I get along with the Summers now, anything would change? Everything you’ve said today is based on the assumption that the Summers are kind and I’m unreasonable. Lance, you’ve seen how humbly I treated the Summers Can’t you understand that whether I’m unreasonable or not, the Summers just won’t accept me?”
Lance’s heart jolted. Yes, he had seen Chloe’s humility, and the way she had once treaded carefully around the Summers. Why was her relationship with the Summers so tense now?
Then, his thoughts faded. Chloe couldn’t accept Keira, which was a fact.
Chloe’s cold laughter rang through the silence. She knew exactly what Lance was thinking. He believed the grievances and hurt Keira claimed to have suffered were all true. She was the one who couldn’t tolerate Keira, which is why the Summers couldn’t accept her.
“Let’s leave it at that. We can talk about the future another time. Don’t worry about me, just keep supporting your fiancée…no, your wife.”
Lance knew the answer. He took a deep breath on the other end of the line, then said, “I still hope you’ll give it some thought.”
Chloe hung up without a word.
Before long, Keira’s calls started coming in again.
