"Miss, there's a family dinner tonight, and the lady is here to pick you up herself."
The driver respectfully stood in front of her, turning sideways to let her get in the car.
Chloe looked up at the open car door and saw someone sitting inside.
It was Carolina Petry.
"I believe Keira must have told you guys all about what happened yesterday afternoon. A family dinner has nothing to do with me."
"I came to pick you up personally, and you're still arguing with me?"
Chloe's face was expressionless. "If you want to keep enjoying the view from the car, go ahead."
She turned to leave, but Carolina's voice rang out again, heavy: "This time, we're discussing the company's anniversary party. Your grandfather specifically wants you to be involved. You can ignore me, but will you also ignore your grandfather's words?"
Chloe stopped, and seeing her waver, Carolina continued, "Your grandfather will be there tonight, too."
Stardust Soiree.
A true treasure trove and a favorite place for wealthy merchants and businessmen.
Chloe stood at the entrance, gazing up at the magnificent club, but feeling a chill in her heart.
"Let's go."
Carolina got out of the car, walked up to Chloe with her cane, and said in a low voice before heading inside.
Chloe followed Carolina, looking at her not-so-tall figure. As Carolina climbed the steps, her cane didn't land on the second step. She stumbled and was about to fall.
Chloe instinctively hurried over and held her steady. Carolina leaned against Chloe, her face pale for a moment.
"Are you okay?"
Chloe bent down, picked up her cane, and handed it to her.
