Chapter 186
Chloe stood up, grabbed her bag, and was just about to leave.
"Where are you off to?" Winston couldn't help but ask.
Chloe suddenly smiled, a radiant, shimmering grin lighting up her face. "To let someone in."
She didn't quite know why she felt this way. Maybe it was because this was her first time openly declaring her love. Or perhaps it was because she had wrestled with her feelings a thousand times before finally making up her mind.
She was never one shy away from a challenge. So what if they were caught in a conflict? So what if they had to walk through fire and brimstone? Right now, she just wanted to be with Connor.
Excitement surged through her. She wanted to see him now. She wanted to hold him tight and tell him, "Connor, I love you." That was all she wanted to say.
It didn't take long for her to reach the CNR Tower. She walked through the main entrance with confidence. Her photo was still scrolling on the big screen. Last time, it had made her feel awkward. But today, she was in a great mood. People still greeted her with respect, and she responded with a smile. Being known as Connor's girlfriend felt pretty good.
Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Chloe bumped into Lisa, who was about to step in. Lisa looked momentarily stunned upon seeing her. Chloe didn't want to deal with her and walked straight towards Connor's office. But Lisa suddenly caught up and blocked her path, her tone hostile. "Chloe, what are you doing here?"
Chloe lifted her eyelids, glanced at Lisa, and spoke with a lazy, indifferent voice. "I'm here to see my boyfriend. Got a problem with that?"
Upon hearing the word "boyfriend,"
Lisa exploded like a popped balloon. "Chloe, you're shameless! You were married to Lucas and had an affai with Connor. Now you have the nerve to parade around as his girlfriend? You're just a second-hand commodity no one wants. How dare you think you're worthy of him!"
Lisa didn't know the real story between Chloe and Lucas. All she knew was that Chloe had been married to Lucas, who loved Linda and never cared for Chloe, so Chloe became twisted and loose.
Lisa's face was filled with
indignation. Connor is just
temporarily blinded by you. Soon,
he'll realize you're nothing but
discarded trash and not even worthy of a rodent's attention. How dare you dream of becoming Mrs. Sartori."
Facing Lisa's tirade, Chloe didn't show a hint of anger. Instead, she smiled slightly, her lips curling up. "Mrs. Sartori, huh? Would you like that title for yourself?"
Lisa was suddenly stunned but couldn't help responding, "Yeah."
Chloe's smile widened as she glanced behind Lisa. "Oh, Connor, you seem to have quite a few admirers. It looks like the title of Mrs. Sartori isn't enough to go around."
Lisa froze. Connor? Was Connor behind her? Lisa turned around. Indeed, she saw a tall, striking figure.
Connor, with a cold expression, walked up beside Chloe. He seemed displeased. "The title of Mrs. Sartori is only something you'd undervalue." As he spoke, his expression was cool, but his tone was gentle.
Lisa was dumbstruck. Chloe had set her up. She clearly saw Connor standing behind Lisa, which was why she had deliberately said that. So, Connor had heard all the insults Lisa had flung at Chloe.
