Chloe was filled with uncontrollable anger and loneliness.
She wasn't an idiot. If she couldn't see Carolina's obvious motives, then she had lived these years in vain.
Turns out, having her shield Lance and Keira from the paparazzi was just a cover.
Over the years, she had never thought of attending any banquets in the name of the Summers family. And this time, the Summers family's invitation wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Do I have to beg you on my knees just to get you to attend a banquet?"
Carolina's words echoed in her mind once again.
Now that she thought about it, Carolina really had a reason to beg her for the sake of getting on Zenith Capital Group's list.
"Chloe, I must say, the Summers family members are weirder than one another. I'm really doubting if you're even a descendant of the Summers family?"
Chloe gave a bitter smile, poured herself another drink, and sat down in the food area.
"Yeah, sometimes I doubt it too. But I am..."
"Well, you're definitely an oddball in the eyes of the Summers family," Rose Davis said helplessly and sympathetically.
Why was she born into such a family?
Chloe didn't say anything, just sat there. Through the thick glass window, she looked at the skyscrapers outside, shimmering with brilliant lights in the night. The colorful world gradually became blurry in her eyes.
Lonely and suffocating.
Chloe just drank, one glass after another.
Rose Davis felt sorry for her, silently accompanying her in drinking.
As best friends, Rose Davis and Chloe had a kind of unspoken understanding.
Comfort at this time was undoubtedly like rubbing salt in the wound.
Because being comforted at your most vulnerable would make you break down immediately.
