Not long after, Chloe showed up again at the door of the meeting room. She was followed by the bodyguards Damon had arranged for her.
Seeing Chloe's bodyguards, Rhys' bodyguards immediately went on high alert. They were against Chloe's bodyguards following her into the room.
"I'm good, you guys wait here."
Chloe said coldly, and the lead bodyguard stopped outside the door as she instructed. She pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Rhys was by the window, sipping his coffee, looking at the view downstairs. Upon hearing the sound, he turned around instantly. Seeing Chloe, his eyes lit up. "Darling…"
"Who are you?" Chloe closed the door, stood at the entrance, and asked calmly.
Rhys smiled and walked over to the table, putting down his coffee cup.
"I've introduced myself already, I'm Rhys, the viscount of Y Country, and you will be my future wife."
Chloe smiled slightly, silent for a few seconds. "You say you're a viscount, what proof do you have?"
Rhys walked towards her with a smile, his eyes fixed on Chloe's face, full of aggression. His eyes always easily gave away his desire. "Just come back to my country with me. I can easily prove my identity."
"What if you're not a viscount? If I go back with you, won't I be fooled?"
"Darling, there's no need for me to lie, you should be able to find information about me online."
"No, I don't trust the internet, it's a world full of lies."
Chloe watched as Rhys gradually approached her, and she suddenly stood up and walked in.
"Darling, some things on the internet are true."
"Is that so? You already have a wife and countless lovers, and you're a gambler, are all these true?"
Rhys shrugged, "You're the one I love the most. And you don't need to worry about me losing big. I can guarantee you a high standard of living."
As he spoke, Rhys handed Chloe the box in his hand. "This is a gift I've prepared for you. You looked so beautiful riding a horse at the West Valley riding club. Of course, you're beautiful when you're angry too."
Chloe raised an eyebrow, accepted the box, opened the packaging, and inside was a whip. The handle of the whip was studded with red gems, elegantly shaped. She didn't know much about whips, but from the looks of it, it seemed to be a fine one.
Chloe picked up the whip. "I don't ride horses often. And...I don't often hit people."
"With me, you'll have plenty of chances to ride... Darling, I really like the way you ride, you have no idea how much I wanted to kiss you, to have you..."
