Chloe switched her shoes, then addressed everyone, "So, you guys are here to visit Grandpa Presley, huh? You planning to stay for dinner?"
Chloe's politeness caught Grace and Wendy off guard. But Rose and Yulia, standing nearby, winked at her. Elizabeth whispered to her, "How'd you know they left and came back?"
"Because they're shameless!" Chloe whispered back, her voice only audible to the two of them. "They want to flaunt their Alonso family superiority but can't stand the thought of the Harper family's future mistress being someone else. Their actions reveal their ugliness inside. This mother and daughter duo are not noble or graceful. Even though they are a part of the Alonso family, their thoughts and actions don’t live up to the name.... That's why they act so shameless. Whenever you think of shameless behavior, they come to mind."
Elizabeth snorted, mocking them.
"They were never good people to begin with."
"What?"
Elizabeth coldly glanced at Grace and Wendy, then remained silent.
"Didn't Damon come back with you?"
"...No."
Elizabeth gave her a meaningful look and said, “In a way, you really are good at stirring up trouble. You whipped Wendy in West Valley, burned down the Summers family home, lost two hundred million dollars, stuck a needle in Wendy yesterday, and hit Rhys today... you've been busy these past four days..."
"What can I say... sorry."
Chloe gave an awkward laugh! Now that she thought about it, she really was... good at making a mess.
"But..." Elizabeth paused, then suddenly asked loudly, "Why on earth did you hit Rhys?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone in the living room turned to look at Chloe. Including Presley, Robin, Grace, and Wendy.
Elizabeth asked this on purpose. Because she believed that even though Chloe seemed to have caused trouble again, there must’ve been a reason.
She knew Chloe too well. And this question was something everyone was curious about. The whole nation was curious!
Chloe didn't expect Elizabeth to suddenly ask this question. It was clear that she was asking her to explain to Presley. But now that she was married to Damon, did she still need to welcome Rhys, who had made a fuss about proposing to her at the company?
Did this matter even need an explanation?
"Indeed, Ms. Chloe, why did you let things escalate to this point? Was there some misunderstanding? Rhys is Princess Ava's nephew, and I'm related to Princess Ava! If there's a misunderstanding, I could explain it to Princess Ava for you."
Elizabeth's face fell. No wonder Presley's attitude had changed so suddenly, so someone had been flaunting in front of him.
But what was their relationship? Grace's father had died a long time ago, and she had never heard that her father had siblings of such high status. Suddenly, a relative appeared. Grace sure knew how to pick powerful people; she could use any relationship.
"There's no misunderstanding," Chloe said flatly. "I've never met this so-called viscount, and I don't know him. I don't think a nobleman from Y country would force a woman to marry him! Today, he made a big fuss and came to my company to take me away, making a spectacle of himself. That's not something a real noble would do. So, I think he's a fraud, tarnishing the reputation of the Y country's nobility. Is he really a viscount? Is he really your relative, Princess Ava's nephew?"
