Chapter 734
Keira frowned. The sight of Chloe’s carefree and confident expression irked her to no end.
Amelia also couldn’t bear it, she moved to the couch and sat down.
“So, Chloe, heard you also joined Fragrance Frenzy, how many points did you score? What place did you get? Are you confident?”
The room full of people all turned their attention to the conversation.
“I won’t go into the details about the points, as for my rank…
She lifted her eyes, glanced at Amelia, and then said calmly, “I obviously have my own expectations.”
“Pfft!” Amelia chuckled sarcastically, “So what if you have expectations? You’re representing Spotlight Beauty, which is incomparable to the Olson Group! Keira might be the champion this time, and what does your higher rank even mean? Chloe, face it, you lost! You lost to Keira again!”
Amelia’s last sentence was almost squeezed out between gritted teeth. It was always like this, she seemed to enjoy Chloe’s embarrassments more than Keira did.
Chloe smirked, draining the water from her cup in one gulp.
“Who knows?”
Amelia was grinding her teeth in frustration at Chloe’s nonchalant attitude. She was always hitting a brick wall with Chloe, or rather, felt like she was punching at cotton.
“I can’t wait to see how embarrassed you’ll be then! I hope you can still be this calm!”
“Amelia, enough…
Keira suddenly interjected, her voice soft, with a hint of timidity and appeasement.
“Chic
I’m sorry, we shouldn’t have brought up this topic.”
Chloe looked up at the few people in the room; their contemptuous and disgusted looks were all too clear. She scoffed, bent over to pick up the water jug and poured herself a cup of water.
“What is there to be sorry about, isn’t this the reason you invited me here?”
Keira’s face stiffened slightly. “What are you talking about… I didn’t think of that…”
“Yeah, Chloe, it wasn’t Keira who brought up the topic just now, but you shouldn’t feel ashamed. After all, competition results aren’t everything. If it’s not yours this time, just try harder next time…”
Lauretta interrupted at the right moment, clearly siding with Keira.
“Right, I also think it’s no big deal. Winning and losing is just part and parcel of life. If you lose, you lose, it just means that’s your current ability. But if you can’t even lose with your own capability and resources, then it’s really… just like muddling through, right?”
Chloe said to Lauretta, but her peripheral vision was on Keira.
Keira’s face changed slightly, but only for an instant, and she quickly regained her confidence and calmness.
Chloe stared at Keira for two seconds, then shifted her gaze elsewhere.
Most people didn’t understand what Chloe was saying, and didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
“What are you guys talking about?”
At the staircase, Lance and a few older men came down together. Descending from the staircase, he exuded an air of nobility and warmth. It made sense how Chloe easily once loved Lance.
“Hello, Lance!” Keira stepped forward and greeted everyone politely, before coyly walking over to Lance with a shy face.
Keira’s politeness and obedience pleased Lance, who gave her a gentle smile and allowed her to hook her arm with his.
“Wow, look, the man is handsome, the woman beautiful. What a perfect couple, I’m so jealous.”
“Yeah, such a pleasing sight to see!”
Carolina laughed and nodded repeatedly, “Having Lance here is a blessing for the Summers family. It’s all thanks to Keira’s good fortune that our family has acquired such an excellent son–in–law.”
Through the crowd, Keira’s gaze found Chloe again, only to find that Chloe wasn’t paying attention at all. At that moment, Chloe was looking down at her phone.
Damon [Where have you gone?]
Chloe [Where have I gone?]
Damon [Someone is asking where you went.]
Chloe looked at Damon’s message and couldn’t help but laugh.
Chloe [I’m at the Olson family.]
Damon [What?]
Chloe (Lance’s home.]
After that, Damon didn’t reply.
Chloe didn’t mind, then she saw a notification in her group chat. She clicked in to check and saw a “group call” notification
Chloe didn’t have many friends before, besides her work colleagues and clients, and official groups in the company She didn’t have many friends on WhatsApp either
She knew it was a communication tool, but she wasn’t very familiar with its other features. She didn’t quite understand what “group call” was, out of curiosity she clicked in.
Immediately, an angry voice from Kane came from her phone.
“For goodness‘ sake, I just woke up and I’ve been sleeping in the booth all day on my birthday??”
The loud roar startled Chloe, almost dropping her phone Everyone in the room turned their heads toward her direction. Their f
ressions varied, but all were shocked.
“Were you a tough birth? Did your mom take days to give birth to you? Your birthday is over once it passes midnight! Be grateful we didn’t let you sleep on the streets!”
“Oh god, my head is about to explode!”
Chloe also felt a bit awkward; she picked up her phone, ready to end the call.
But then Keira’s voice came, “Who were those people…”
“My friends”
Chloe realized that the sound from her phone had stopped.
“Friends? Birds of a feather, I guess. Listen to the nonsense they were spouting, it’s ridiculous! But shockingly, you actually made friends.”
“Amelia, watch your mouth, I personally don’t care for you, but don’t go too far. They may have been talking nonsense, but who do you think you are?” Chloe’s face suddenly turned cold, her tone icy.
“You…” Amelia suddenly stood up from the couch, “Chloe, are you here to provoke on purpose? Am I wrong saying they’re talking nonsense? What kind of noble people can you befriend?! They’re all losers!”
