After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 550

Chloe couldn't be bothered with the situation. She glanced at the old man and said, "If you have any issues, you should talk to someone from the Opal Group. If they need me to get involved, they'll reach out."

With that, she didn't spare another glance at the old man and walked away.

Michael, who had followed Chloe there, naturally stayed close behind her.

Lucy had come today hoping to see Michael. She thought that seeing her so close to someone else might stir something in him, even if it was just a few harsh words—it would mean Michael still cared.

But to Lucy's surprise, he didn't say a word before walking off.

Her eyes were filled with disappointment. Owen approached her, his face a picture of anguish. "Lucy, who is this person?"

Lucy turned her gaze back to him. "He's my new boss."

Michael didn't want her to return to Shawn Heavy Industries, so she had to find other options.

This old man might be a bit older, but a few sweet words were enough to make him forget his bearings. He was even willing to throw money into negotiations with Shawn Heavy Industries.

Owen frowned at her response. "What kind of boss?"

Lucy, feeling a bit irritated, snapped, "Owen, if you don't have anything else, I need to join my boss for the party. We can't chat right now."

She walked past him, leaving Owen standing alone, feeling cold and betrayed.

He had never imagined Lucy would end up with an old man like this after their breakup.

He thought, "How could she degrade herself like this?"

Chloe stepped out of the ballroom. Suddenly, there was a loud bang overhead as fireworks exploded.

She paused and looked up, the fireworks showering the sky, filling the air with the scent of sulfur.

She wondered if it was some kind of festival, but then she noticed a girl in a white veil throwing herself into the arms of a young man nearby.

Chloe watched the affectionate scene, a smile appearing on her face.

She thought, "So it's a proposal. No wonder it's so romantic.

It's a nice stroke of luck to get a free fireworks show.

I haven't seen fireworks in ages."

Michael stopped next to her, following her gaze to the couple in the distance.

His expression was a mix of something—perhaps nostalgia or another emotion she couldn't quite place.

When the fireworks finally died down, Chloe was about to move on.

Michael blurted out, "There's a fireworks festival coming up in a few days. Would you like to go?"

Chloe paused. "A fireworks festival? I haven't heard of that before."

Michael stood beside her, matching her stride.

"It's an event organized by the tourism bureau to attract visitors. It's still under wraps, not many people know about it. If you're interested, I can get us some tickets."

Chloe had outgrown her fascination with fireworks.

But since she would soon be leaving for abroad, maybe catching one last fireworks show in this city wasn't such a bad idea.

Chloe always knew that Raimond had a summer fireworks festival, and she'd once invited Michael to go with her.

But back then, he had been so disgusted with her that he never agreed to her request.

Without his company, Chloe wouldn't gone alone, even if her flight had taken her to Raimond.

Now, she thought she should have gone by herself.

Even without company, there was something uniquely enjoyable about appreciating beauty alone.

Chloe mulled it over and said, "If possible, could you get a few extra tickets? I'll transfer the money to you."
