Keira hollered, her face slightly pale, looking a bit awkward.
Kendal Olson nodded, his gaze fell on Chloe, with a kind smile on his face.
"Chloe, long time no see."
Chloe chuckled lightly, "Grandpa Kendal..."
Grandpa Kendal?
Kendal blinked in surprise. She used to always call him grandpa only. Seeing her cold and distant expression, he sighed helplessly, then waved his hand, "Let's go to the restaurant for dinner."
The appearance of Kendal eased the atmosphere a little, but it also made people feel a bit stifled. After all, he was the head of the family, and naturally authoritative.
Chloe still had to show Kendal respect. Besides, from the current situation, it seemed she had not lost anything.
She picked up her phone, checked the call status again, and found that the group call had been closed. She glanced at it, turned off the phone screen, and threw the phone into her bag.
She didn't argue about this matter anymore, and everyone gradually walked towards the restaurant. But she didn't know that her group chat was blowing up at the moment.
Hans ["I feel like Chloe was bullied?"]
Ella ["And she was ganged up on!"]
Kane ["Why is Chloe at the Olson family?"]
Sawyer ["Which Olson family?"]
Seth Diaz ["The Olson Group, Chloe's ex-fiancé's family."]
All members [Woah…]
Noah ["I heard someone calling us trash!"]
Kane ["Let's go! All hands on deck!"]
Keira felt somewhat hurt about Kendal’s obvious unfair treatment between her and Chloe. Her heart was also a little uneasy.
Kendal had always favored Chloe, considering her the best choice for the lady of the Olson Group. It was his idea to suggest Lance to propose to Chloe. In his eyes, he probably disapproved of Keira's involvement.
Kendal and Carolina conversed the most because they were of the same generation and had common topics. Besides, they were now in-laws, and no matter what they thought deep inside, they had to get along on the surface.
During the meal, everyone was distant and insincere. Chloe saw all the hypocrisy. After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room. It was time for chatting and saying goodbye.
Chloe ate a bit too much tonight. It was not that she thought the Olson family's food was particularly good, but because there was too much drama from this family. As a bystander, she treated the food as an afternoon tea.
Lauretta said to Grover, "Keira's competition work looks very promising. Why don't we start producing now, so when Keira comes back with the award, we can launch the new product while it's hot, what do you think?"
