Finally, she took out the lighter she'd been clutching in her hand, flipped open the lid, and coldly stared at Carolina who was huddled up in her own arms.
"No! Chloe, I'm begging you, you can't do this!"
"Your shameless actions have crossed the line time and time again. Out of respect for my grandfather, I let you off the hook again and again! But you just can't behave yourself, always taking more than you should, without a shred of shame! You love money so much, don't you? Well, I'm about to leave you penniless!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed the lighter. A flame shot out and without a moment's hesitation, she tossed it onto the curtains soaked in alcohol. The flame shot up instantly, heat waves rushing over them.
"No!!!"
Carolina screamed again, her eyes wide with terror reflecting the leaping flames. She stood frozen for a couple of seconds, then with some unknown burst of strength, she grabbed a water bottle from the table and threw it into the fire. But it was all in vain.
"Help! Fire! Someone put it out!"
She suddenly shouted, and the servants outside the door hurried in, trying to rush to the kitchen to get water to put out the fire!
"Who dares to put out the fire!"
Chloe suddenly shouted sternly. Her icy gaze swept across the faces of the servants, "This place will be nothing but ashes today! If you want to live, get out!"
The servants were scared by Chloe's aura. Without thinking, they all ran out!
Carolina's face turned deathly white with fear, she covered her head and thought for a while before finally picking up her phone to call the fire department.
Chloe pursed her lips, letting Carolina make the call. Even if the firefighters came, so what? She was determined to burn this place down! Nobody could stop her!
Carolina hung up the phone, staring at the growing fire in front of her, pacing anxiously.
Meanwhile, outside the Summers family mansion, a large crowd had gathered because of the live broadcast. They were watching the live stream and the scene at the same time.
In the Harper Group's office, Nate was dumbstruck watching the live feed in front of him. It took him a while to blink.
Burned! Oh my god. A gift worth 200 million dollars, just burnt without a second thought?! And it was all cash!
A satisfied smile appeared on Damon's face, he greatly appreciated Chloe's move. She handled it well!
"Go stop the fire truck!" Damon leaned back in his chair, the gloom on his face disappeared without a trace.
Nate swallowed and blinked rapidly again. Damon's voice seemed to come from the other side of the world. He instinctively responded and left the office. It wasn't until he got into the elevator that he snapped back to reality.
200 million dollars... All burned! Burned by Chloe!
But it was...absolutely awesome!
Remembering the almost out-of-control expression on the old woman's face in the video, he suddenly felt invigorated. Without a doubt, she was Chloe. She truly lived up to her name.
With that money burnt, her life story just got more brilliant. Probably no one could live as carefree as her!
The elevator doors opened. Nate twirled the car keys in his hand, whistling. Let's go stop the fire truck!
