"Go ahead, I'm rooting for you. Don't sweat it, she's got a good heart. She'll give it to you without you even asking. Isn't she the daughter-in-law of the Olsons? Money shouldn't be a problem."
At Chloe's sarcastic words, Carolina's face turned extremely gloomy. Keira had been in the hospital for so long and the medical bills were indeed considerable. Moreover, she always had one problem or another, and supposedly she had to undergo all kinds of tests in the hospital. Those test fees must've added up to a significant sum.
Carolina wasn't sure how much money Keira had stashed away, but even if she had some, she was probably being monitored by those above her. They wouldn't let her use that money. The Olsons might be willing to give her money, but they might be at their wits' end with her by now. Asking the Olsons for money again might be possible, but it was always more justified to ask your own granddaughter for money, right?
"She's not my granddaughter. Don't try to fool me. If you can afford to spend billions on a man, you should at least give us a couple billion. If you don't, I'll come find you every day."
People were simply dumbfounded. There were many public figures in the company so they had to conduct themselves with restraint. But seeing Carolina like this, they couldn't help but explode in anger.
"What a shameless creature! Why doesn't she just drop dead?!"d2
"Truly, when people have no shame, they're invincible. I'm speechless in the face of such shamelessness."
"Billion? This old witch really has the nerve! If you dare to give her a penny, Ms. Summers, I'll blow up your company right away!"
"Count me in. She doesn't even look at herself. Billions, if I see this old witch, I'll be so disgusted that I'll live ten years less."
Chloe, however, was surprisingly calm. Instead of getting angry, she found it hilarious. Facing such a person, she felt helpless and amused. As for anger, she felt none right now, and she was glad her mentality was so good.
Billions, this really sounded like a joke.
She chuckled, turning her head to the two security guards beside her. Her laughing eyes, however, emitted a cold sharpness: "Do I have to beg you guys to kick her out?"
The two security guards were taken aback, then, without thinking twice, they stepped forward and grabbed Carolina's shoulders.
"What are you doing?! You're being insolent, daring to treat me like this! Chloe, you should know to be forgiving when you can. If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?! I'm your grandmother, I've raised you for so many years, where's your conscience?! Chloe, you really dare to treat me like this, you will have karma... Ah! It hurts!!"
Everyone watched as the security personnel escorted Carolina and pushed her straight out of the Starlight International's front door, and couldn't help but burst into applause.
"Well pushed! This formidable woman is really something."
"I used to think she had some semblance of a noble lady. How can she be so disgraceful now?"
"Right, I've seen her before. She did have some grace. Now she's completely different from before, just like a shrew."
