Chapter 137

In the restroom, Chloe stood in front of the sink, her palm under the faucet, letting the icy water run

between her fingers.

She curled her fingers, trying to grasp the water, but it kept slipping through.

She smiled soundlessly. People destined to leave can’t be held onto.

She sighed lightly and wiped off the few drops of alcohol that had splashed on her.

Stepping out of the restroom, Chloe felt a breeze. There was a terrace not far down the corridor.

Preferring the quietness of the terrace to the bustling party, Chloe decided to catch a breather there.

The cool wind blew, bringing a slight chill with it.

Tonight, Chloe’s dress was simple and elegant, showing off her tall, slender figure and perfect

proportions. She stood straight, looking indifferent and regal.

As light as the wind.

“Chloe…”

A familiar voice sounded from behind. It was Lance, hands in his pockets, looking at Chloe with a

complicated expression.

Chloe’s already emotionless face grew colder. She glanced around the deserted terrace, lowered her

eyes, and was about to leave.

“Chloe…”

It seemed Lance had come to find her specifically. Seeing her about to leave, he quickly stepped

forward, blocking her path.

In that moment, they were too close. Lance could smell the faint fragrance of Chloe.

Chloe stopped, took two steps back, and looked at Lance coldly.

“So… are you trying to get revenge for your girlfriend?” Chloe asked.

Lance shook his head sadly. Hearing Chloe’s emotionless voice, a sense of desolation welled up in his

heart.

“No, I know… it’s not your fault.”

Chloe laughed coldly.

“So, what do you want?

“… I bid for Keira tonight only because I promised her before, but I didn’t expect it to be you…”

“Enough, Lance. You didn’t expect it to be me, but when you found out, you still chose her. I didn’t

expect you to bid for me, but what surprises me more is that you, despite your illicit relationship with

her, could flaunt your affection for her in public…”

Chloe’s voice was slow and cold, her eyes devoid of any emotion, calm as still water.

This calmness, however, made Lance feel worse than when she was mocking him with a cold laugh.

“…I… I apologize for Keira.”

“No need… I won’t accept.”

Chloe gave him a cold look, then walked straight past him.

When Chloe got back to the banquet hall, Rose Davis looked a little upset.

“What’s wrong?” Chloe asked.

Rose Davis glanced in the distance, “Your grandma’s here.”

Chloe’s brow furrowed slightly, and she looked up to see Carolina Petry looking right back at her.

Carolina picked up her glass and walked steadily towards Chloe.

After giving Chloe a once–over, a glint of satisfaction flashed in Carolina’s sharp eyes.

“Good”

Chloe glanced at her, then at the man standing next to Carolina.

“This is Connor Jewell from Zenith Capital Group!” Carolina introduced promptly.

“Mr. Jewell, this is my granddaughter, Chloe! Chloe, say hello to Mr. Jewell!”
