Chapter 821
However, when Carolina lowered her head to look at the check in her hand, her previously joyful face instantly turned grave.
Kane had somehow moved behind Carolina unnoticed. He easily peered over her shoulder to see the figure on the check.
Hmph…
Kane burst into laughter, making Carolina’s hand holding the check start to tremble.
All eyes were now on Kane.
“Haha… ten grand? Nate, are you pulling my leg?”
Ten grand?
People’s lips twitched. They originally thought it would be at least ten million.
Turned out to be just ten grand?
Carolina clenched her teeth and looked up at Nate.
“What is this supposed to mean?’
Nate replied seriously. “What does it mean? It’s a gift from him to the Summers.”
Carolina’s eyes widened in anger, “A gift? I, Carolina, raised Chloe, and now you guys are brushing me off with ten thousand dollars?”
Nate slowly furrowed his brows, ‘Ms. Chloe was taken care of by her mother before she was eighteen, and was sent abroad by you guys when she was twenty. Didn’t you only support Ms. Chloe for two years?
“During these two years, she only lived in your house, and it was not like you have paid her every expense.
“Giving you ten grand is already very generous. If we count how you treated Ms. Chloe during these two years, I’m afraid you should be paying us!”
“Haha…”
“Ha ha ha…”
“Ha ha ha ha…”
Nate was usually serious and reserved, so no one expected that he would make such a remark that amused everyone.
Kane laughed so hard that he leaned on Nate.
Chloe also couldn’t help but laugh.
Nate’s face turned slightly red, and he sternly said,
“Mr. Ziems, is your attitude questioning his feelings for Ms. Chloe?”
“Hahaha…cough cough cough…
When Nate said this, Kane’s smile instantly disappeared. After a while, he recovered, his handsome face was flushed.
“Yes, yes, yes… you’re right…
How could he question Damon?
Everyone saw Kane suddenly becoming serious, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Even a person like Mr. Ziems was so respectful to him, he must be someone they dare not provoke.
Carolina was trembling with anger.
Watching the last batch of goods being carried away, her face became more and more gloomy. She stared at Chloe, feeling a chill in her heart.
“Are you satisfied now?”
Chloe just stood there quietly, with a faint smile.
Carolina muttered to herself again,
“Do you want me to regret it? You want me to feel it’s a mistake that I favored Keira over you all these years? You did all these things just to make me think that everything I did was wrong, right? I tell Impossible! Even if you’re capable, so what?”
it’s
As she spoke, Carolina pointed at Nate and Kane, and sneered, “You think you’ve met these big shots and married into a powerful family, and you can do whatever you want? They won’t always stand by your side, and your fiance won’t always be with you! Do you know why? Because you’re a jinx! I’m not cursing you, Chloe! This is your fate, you were born a jinx! Don’t be too cocky, one day…”
you,
“Enough!” Jonah suddenly shouted coldly, interrupting Carolina’s outburst.
“What? Am I wrong? She’s a jinx!”
“Carolina!” Jonah shouted again, but because he exerted too much force, he couldn’t help but stagger back a couple of steps.
He breathed heavily, and everyone could hear his heavy breathing.
Chloe stood in place, her eyes fixed on Jonah, her hands clenched at her sides, her eyes filled with worry.
After a while, Jonah took a deep breath and said angrily, “When will you stop being stubborn? Do you really believe in such nonsense?!”
“I believe! Of course I do! It’s you who have been emotional and unwilling to face the truth! She holds almost half of the Pulse Entertainment shares, and she wants to destroy it! If she hadn’t ruined Keira, would the Summers be broken like now?! You are the one who refuses to admit your mistake!”
As Carolina’s voice fell, the living room fell silent again.
After a while, people began whispering again.
“What is she talking about?”
“She’s saying Ms. Chloe is naturally a bad luck charm to the family…
“So that’s why she doesn’t like her?”
“Do people still believe in these superstitions now?”
Jonah held his cane tighty, stood tall, eyes tightly closed, his face showing deep fatigue.
After a long time, he finally spoke, his voice filled with exhaustion.
“Carolina, all these years. I’ve put up with you time and time again. I thought I could tolerate you for a lifetime, but now, you still twist the truth, have no sense of right and wrong, and show no remorse…
Carolina’s body went limp, and she stared at Jonah with a pale face.
“What are you trying to say?”
