"I don't get it. What on earth is that woman doing?"
"I bet Ms. Wendy just wanted to make Ms. Summers squirm at the party, right?"
"Doesn't she realize who Ms. Summers is? If she dares to challenge her, it'll be a total joke."
"But you know what, Wendy's move is seriously sickening, just riding on the coattails of Ms. Summers' popularity. In the business world, who isn't curious about Ms. Summers or doesn’t want to build a relationship with her? Now, even those companies that weren't planning on attending will probably show up for Ms. Summers, won't they?"
"What's worse is, I'm super uncomfortable. If Ms. Summers doesn't go, people will think she's running scared from Ms. Wendy, saying Ms. Summers is hiding away without a peep, and without any backbone. But if she does show up, it just plays into their hands. It's such a headache."
"Wendy is so sly, pulling a stunt like this. So does that mean Ms. Summers has to go?"d2
Everyone who saw the news was seriously peeved at Wendy's actions. But Wendy was immune to all the chatter. She chose to ignore it.
She'd been battling it out with Chloe for so long, and she'd heard much worse. There was nothing she can't handle.
Chloe just scoffed at Wendy's actions. The sheer stubbornness was almost laughable.
Yet, the online buzz about this was only the second hottest topic. What really caught people's attention was Carolina suing Chloe over money. And then there was Carolina playing the wounded party in front of the media, accusing Chloe of being cold-hearted, disrespectful to elders, ungrateful, and a whole host of serious allegations.
She was so worked up, you'd think killing Chloe on the spot wouldn't even quench her thirst for revenge.
The courthouse was the backdrop for Carolina's interview.
Seeing Carolina's greedy and manipulative demeanor, Chloe suddenly felt that sometimes, you just need to cut off all escape routes for some people, and do it thoroughly, leaving no room for possibilities. Sometimes, even the slightest hint of softness could land you in irreversible trouble.
She never thought she'd go soft on Carolina, only doing so to honor her grandfather's wish of "not giving up entirely".
She let out a deep sigh, feeling a wave of irritation.
Damon said, "You don't need to worry about this. She won't even have the chance to step foot in court."
Chloe turned to look at him. After a few seconds, he finally cracked a smile, "Have you got it all figured out again?"
Damon chuckled, "This 'again' makes me feel like I've done a lot for you."
"Isn't that the case?" Chloe looked at him, her gaze intense.
