Chapter 917
The middle–aged woman’s face turned even gloomier as she heard the surrounding people’s mockery and sarcasm.
“What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with my loud voice? It’s my natural voice! I was practically doing them a favor by letting them pay 20 grand! Look closely, my phone is covered in diamond fragments! Who says you can’t lean against the elevator door? Do you even know what a rear–end collision is? They were the ones who hit me from behind! Logically, it’s entirely their fault, are you guys out of your minds?”
Chloe stared at the woman in front of her. The more she spoke, the more familiar her face and expression’s seemed.
After a moment, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
“So you’re taking up someone else’s lane, suddenly reversing, and you’re calling that a rear–end collision? Do you own the road or something? Why don’t you strip naked, take a couple of rolls on it, and take a nap?”
“You…We are talking about you bumping me. Don’t you dare bring up rear–end collision in this!”
Everyone was speechless. Who brought it up first?
Chloe didn’t want to argue with her, instead, she calmly said, “Isn’t it the same principle? If you stripped naked here, took a couple of rolls, and took a nap, then we’d be entirely at fault, and you can do whatever you want.”
“You… Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you. I can’t believe I was actually arguing with such low–class people. Get lost!”
With an air of superiority, the woman disdainfully waved her hand at Chloe.
Chloe scoffed, “Since you started this, it’s not going to end that easily. You just reversed and hit my grandpa. That’s 10 grand for emotional distress. And my grandpa is old and can’t handle shocks, his blood pressure might be high now. We can’t predict if there will be a sudden illness, so that’s another 10 grand for a thorough check–up. Also, his leg is bad, your hit was like adding insult to injury. He shouldn’t have to bear the pain for free, and that’s another 10 grand. So, 30 grand in total, pay up and leave.”
“You…you’re just being greedy.”
“Or, you could strip, roll around here a couple of times, and take a nap. I’ll give you 20 grand.”
Chloe tapped the ground with her foot, the sound echoing loudly.
The onlookers laughed, “That’s right, roll around a couple of times, prove that this place is yours, then we should indeed pay up, right?”
“Roll around for 20 grand, where else can you find such a good deal?”
The woman trembled with rage, her gritted teeth and the look on her face reminded Chloe of Wendy.
Could this woman be Wendy’s mom? But Wendy was much more restrained than her, if she was indeed her mother, then…
It was simply unimaginable.
Was this the Alonso family that Wendy was so proud of? Was she her mother?
“You…you are all going too far!”
Chloe was expressionless, she took out her phone, “Pay up or not, if not, I’m calling the police.”
The woman’s face changed immediately when she saw Chloe was about to call the police.
Mrs. Harper was returning tonight, she had spent a lot of time persuading her sister to let her and her daughter attend the welcoming party. It was a gathering of real high society ladies.

Now, she hadn’t even attended the party, and she was going to the police station. If her sister got angry, she might cut off her connections to this circle. It was truly not worth it.
Chloe had already started dialing, the woman hurriedly said, “Fine, fine, just my rotten luck! Isn’t it just 30 grand? It’s not even worth one of my jewelry sets, here,
take it!”
Served her right, that was how you should deal with people like her!
Chloe quietly pushed the wheelchair away..
The woman, chest heaving with anger, turned to the crowd around her and walked towards the elevator with gritted teeth.
However, when she looked up, she saw the elevator doors were still open, and Nathan, who was leaning against the wall, was smirking at her.
The woman’s eyes lit up, she quickly said, “Mr. Harper, what are you doing here?“.
Nathan raised an eyebrow, looked her up and down, “Who are you?”
“I am…”
Nathan didn’t stop, he walked out of the elevator and left.
“Hey…”
The woman quickly followed, only to see Nathan had already caught up with the woman pushing the wheelchair, the two walking side by side. The woman frowned, was that woman some slut who had hooked Mr. Harper before her?
Chloe pushed the old man to the rest area.
Nathan casually asked, “What were you planning to do if she didn’t give you the money?”
People like her, if they really refused to pay, you really wouldn’t have any options.
Chloe gave a small smile, “If necessary, I can use force.”
Use force?
The old man next to her heard this, glancing at Chloe. Could such a frail body really use force?
His lips twitched slightly.
Chloe continued, “But it probably won’t come to that. She’d rather pay me than go to the police station.”
Nathan raised an eyebrow, the old man hext to him was also intrigued.
Chloe smiled, “She probably has some connection to Wendy, right? If she really caused a scene at the police station, the one being humiliated would be the Alonso family…For the people of the Alonso family, their family’s reputation is more important than anything.”
After hearing this, Nathan blinked. This woman, she was too smart. Anyone who crossed her would definitely be out of luck!
The old man next to her had a glint in his eyes; it had been a long time since he’d seen such a smart and decisive woman.
“You wait here for your family to pick you up. Please don’t wander around. It’s best if you call someone.”
Chloe turned her gaze to the old man, softly reminded him, then prepared to leave.
“You keep the money!” The old man suddenly said.
Chloe glanced at him, “No need. It’s not my money, but if you don’t want it, you can donate it to charity.”
Chloe left after saying this, treating it as a random encounter.
Nathan put the bags in the trunk, prepared to take Chloe home, but Chloe said-
“Go to the Harper family.”
Nathan looked at her warily, “What for? To check on them?”
Chloe smiled, her voice cold, “Yes, to see what Damon is really up to.”
Nathan started the car, turned to look at her, “Don’t worry, Damon definitely won’t mess around with women, especially at the company…uh…except for you!”
Chloe’s eyelid twitched and after a moment of thought, she awkwardly rubbed her forehead, “Nathan, I think you know too much.”
Nathan chuckled, “By the sound of it, seems like you’re contemplating killing me to keep me quiet.”
Chloe smiled at him, “How could I possibly do something so gruesome?”
Looking at her smile, Nathan felt a chill run down his spine, “Haha, I prefer women to be more gentle. It’s more appealing.”
Chloe nodded, “Exactly, which is why I chose to let Damon know. He can handle all the brutal and bloody stuff.”
“Darn!” Nathan suddenly stepped on the gas, and the car zoomed off.
These two, one smarter and more cunning than the other, could anything good come out of them being together?
Chloe buckled up her seatbelt, unfazed by Nathan’s sudden speeding.
