Chloe clutched her teacup tightly, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole bodyfreezing cold.

“So you are telling me that… before I left, Lance had already had feelings for Keira?”

Lauretta’s face was streaked with tears. Hearing Chloe’s sudden question, she was visibly stunned.She bit her lip and nodded slightly

Chloe looked up at Lance, his eyes filled with guilt.

She stared at him silently, her body shaking with anger. “So, you liked her even before I left? You’vebeen struggling with this for six whole years?”

Lance didn’t speak, but the guilt in his eyes grew deeper, which was his answer.

Chloe laughed coldly, “I thought you started getting closer to her while I was away because youcouldn’t stand the loneliness… I didn’t expect it to be so early…”

Chloe’s words were calm and sarcastic.

Every sentence was like a knife, stabbing deep into Lance’s heart.

Chloe’s heart was filled with desolation.

Apparently, their relationship was more fragile than she’d known.

“Lance, can I ask you a question?”

Lance opened his mouth but made no sound. He nodded his head.

“What do you like about Keira? Her beauty, innocence, kindness, gentleness?”

Chloe stared intently at Lance, not blinking.

Lance stiffened under the pressure of her cold, oppressive gaze.

He stammered and couldn’t speak, but Chloe seemed unwilling to let him go.

“Yes-

It seemed like he used all his strength to say that.

Chloe’s eyes flashed, and she laughed coldly while nodding, “I see. These are all things I lack…”

“Chloe…” Lance’s voice was noticeably hoarse, “I’m sorry…”

“Ive already said that I can’t accept your apology… Not every ‘sorry‘ can get a corresponding ‘It’sokay,’ and it’s not that without my forgiveness, you two can’t be together! The reasons why you likeher… Well, I understand. I won’t stop you from being together!”

Hearing Chloe say this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

Carolina continued:

“It’s good that you can let go! Don’t worry, I’ve already chosen a suitable person for you. You’ve methim already, Connor Jewell from Zenith Capital Group…”

Lance’s face changed, looking up at Carolina.

“Grandma!”

Chloe’s eyebrows twitched, and she immediately stood up from her chair!

“No need to bother. I have my own life, and no one has the right to interfere!”

“How dare you!” Nick suddenly shouted.

“What’s with your tone when talking to your grandma? What do you mean no one has the right tointer fere with your life? Do you know that you’re part of the Summers family?!”

“All these years…have you ever treated me like a Summers family member?”

“You…are so ungrateful! Don’t forget who helped you solve your big problems before and whoarranged for you to go abroad!”

Chloe gently rubbed her forehead, “The Summers family.”

“Hmph! So you still remember?”

“Yes, I remember. It’s because I didn’t take your advice and participated in the piano competitionprivately. Then, on the day of the competition, all the reporters saw the situation between me andthe judge in the break room. I said I was forced, but the judge said I seduced him. You chose tobelieve the judge instead of me.
