Chapter 1224
The offer was undoubtedly tempting.
Rose nodded. “Alright, let’s see if my son and I can chew your money and make you bankrupt!”
Chloe chuckled, “Do you think one kid is enough? Why don’t you have a few more?”
That’s when Rose remembered the 1.8 billion dollar wedding gift Damon gave her. Even if she had ten kids, she wouldn’t be able to bankrupt Chloe.
They chatted and ate, and in the middle of it all, Chloe’s phone rang. It was a call from the company.
She frowned. She had already told her secretary not to call her when she was resting unless it was urgent. So, was this call a sign that something was wrong at the company?
The moment she picked up, she could hear her secretary’s anxious voice. “Ms. Chloe, could you come to the company as soon as possible? Someone’s looking for you…”
Chloe’s voice turned stern, “Who is it?”
Downstairs at Starlight International, dozens of luxury cars had surrounded the building. Reporters and onlookers flocked to the scene.
“My god, what’s going on?”
“What are they trying to do?”
“I heard it’s Rhys, is he here to propose to Ms. Chloe at her company?”
“Propose at her company? Is he kidding?”
“Carolina already accepted that two hundred million dollar wedding gift! She’s burned through all that money, she can’t possibly repay it, can she?”
“So is he forcefully proposing to Ms. Chloe?”
“What else could it be? Two hundred million, that’s enough to marry a hundred brides for anyone else!”
“Did you forget about the 1.8 billion dollar wedding gift Ms. Chloe‘ fiancé gave her? What’s Rhys‘ gift compared to that?”
“Does he have the nerve to bring up a wedding gift?”
“But two hundred million isn’t a small amount. Isn’t that the reason Ms. Chloe‘ grandma sold her off?”
“Is Y Country that rich? He just casually threw two hundred million?”
“It’s not Y Country, it’s Rhys‘ family that’s rich. His close relations with the royal family make doing business easy. It’s a piece of cake to expand to other countries and make money. Plus…their business isn’t just running companies, you think they only have legal transactions?”
“For Rhys, two hundred million is nothing, I heard he loves to gamble! In the four major gambling cities in the world, he’s known as a notorious gambler. The money he’s lost is way more than two hundred million!”
“Won’t Ms. Chloe be miserable if she marries him?”
“Would Ms. Chloe marry him?”
“He’s clearly forcing her into marriage!”
“Let’s see how Ms. Chloe handles this.”
“What can she do? He’s a foreign noble. If Ms. Chloe isn’t careful and escalates the situation turning it into a diplomatic conflict, it’d be trouble…”
When Chloe got to the company and saw the bustling crowd at the entrance, her face darkened. As soon as the reporters saw Chloe, they swarmed around her like bees to a flower. Before she got out of the car though, Damon’s bodyguards had already formed a protective circle around her.
No matter how wild the reporters were, they couldn’t breach the strong protective barrier. Chloe walked into the company with an icy expression, and the secretary immediately came up to her.
“Ms. Chloe.”
“Where is he?”
Chloe’s cold voice made the secretary shudder.
“He’s in the guest room.”
They went into the elevator, and the secretary pressed the button immediately. Chloe’s face was stern, her lips tightly closed, and her eyebrows furrowed. The secretary was both scared and shocked to see Ms. Chloe like this.
She felt sorry for Ms. Chloe! Ms. Chloe was sold by her own grandmother, and now she was dealing with a man forcefully proposing to her. How unlucky.
After they got out of the elevator, the secretary almost had to jog to keep up with Chloe’s pace. Seeing her fierce momentum, the secretary could guess that Chloe’s next move was to kick open the door of the guest room. But in the last second, Chloe abruptly stopped her foot from kicking the door.
The secretary quickly stopped beside her. “Ms. Chloe.”
Chloe suddenly took two steps back, turned to the secretary. “How many people are in the room?”
The secretary immediately answered, “Eight bodyguards! And Rhys.”
Chloe’s face turned even more stern. She was silent for a few seconds, then said, “That’s a lot of people.”
fter saying that, she turned around and left. The secretary blinked in confusion, not able to comprehend what just happened.
Did the fierce Ms. Chloe just walk away like that? Since when was Ms. Chloe afraid of anyone?
She backed down so quickly? That couldn’t be right!

Chapter 1224
Chloe silently returned to her office, then rummaged through her drawer for a long time. Finally, she found a box.
A while later, the secretary waiting outside was called in.
When the secretary entered the guest room again, Rhys was leisurely sitting on the couch, his long legs crossed, looking fearless.
As soon as he saw the secretary, he immediately asked, “I heard Ms. Chloe is already here, where is she?”
The secretary served him freshly brewed coffee, then stood straight, looked at the burly bodyguards in the room, and said with a smile, “Actually, Ms. Chloe was here just now, but when she heard there were eight sturdy bodyguards inside, she left.”
Rhys paused, seemed to have thought, and suddenly laughed. “She’s such a cute woman. She’s so brave yet she’s scared of my bodyguards? Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her! She’s my future partner, without my permission, who dares to hurt her?”
The secretary felt quite uncomfortable standing there, but she still said, “Ms. Chloe is a lady after all, and you’re showing some serious arrogance today, especially with all these bodyguards. No wonder she’s feeling jittery. Maybe you can have them wait outside?”
“Good thinking.” Rhys agreed with the secretary’s suggestion and dismissed the bodyguards with a wave of his hand.
The secretary quickly added, “Then you just chill and enjoy your coffee, I’ll go fetch Ms. Chloe now.”
Rhys simply smiled and nodded, taking a sip of his coffee. The secretary raised an eyebrow and exited the room. Before long, Chloe reappeared at the doorway of the reception room.
