"About the incident at the school celebration... I apologized on behalf of Keira... But she did say that she was genuinely worried about you, which was why she called the Summers family..."
Chloe smirked slightly and looked down at the clear glass in her hand.
"Shut your mouth. You think you have some sort of privilege, that I should forgive her just because you apologized for her? Your Keira is always so kind, innocent, and vulnerable. How could she possibly set me up, slandering me by saying that I had an affair with Chase?"
"Chloe... Keira has explained, there might actually be a misunderstanding here..."
Lance looked helpless. His own words didn't quite convince himself, but, how could he let the conflict between them escalate?
"There surely was a misunderstanding. She irrationally insisted that I was with Chase, that's misunderstanding number one. She brought a gang over to bang on my door, that's number two. The one who called the Summers family in advance got me slapped, that's number three... Including all the previous incidents..."
Chloe paused, smirked, "I might have conflicts with Keira, and too many misunderstandings between us, but the 'injustices' she suffered from me don't seem like misunderstandings to you all. So, in your eyes, I have to be the bad guy, right?"
Her tone was indifferent, without a ripple, but to Lance's ears, it was full of sarcasm.
"Chloe, I didn't mean that, I never said you were a bad person..."
Chloe chuckled and shook her head, "Nevermind. It doesn't matter to me what you think of me. Keira, the Summers family, everything they've given me, I will return in kind. Even you, Lance. If Keira likes competing with me, then let her compete. Because whatever she gets, I'll make sure she loses! The more she gets, the more poignant the taste of loss will be!"
With that, she turned to leave, ignoring Lance's grim expression.
"Oh, and..."
Chloe suddenly stopped, turned back to Lance, and smiled:
"Did you bring Keira here this time to help the Olson Group win over the Watson family? The Watson family's investment is very tempting. I think if Spotlight Beauty got the strong support of the Watson family, it would surely take it to the next level."
