"Do you know, Penny's been badmouthing you to your dad, saying you shouldn't take over the family business. You're quite the bigger person, huh."
Phoebe didn't answer, just shrugged, "I don't really care anymore. My sister is definitely competent. I admit I'm not as good as her, and I don't need to make life so hard on myself. If I really went for it, I wouldn't have time to hang out with you."
Angie quickly took Phoebe's arm, "You’ve still got your research to finish. Plus, I'm not such a party animal. If you really want to do your own thing, I won't cling on to you."
"But I still want to be with you all the time."
"Haha…"
Chloe watched these two good friends, feeling a warmth in her heart.
In this complex high society, there was still such innocent friendship. She hoped this friendship could last forever.
Chloe sighed softly, looking at Angie, and whispered.
"Do you know, Damon's mother is coming back the day after tomorrow?"
The smile on Angie's face froze instantly, her small face twitched twice. "She's coming back?"
Phoebe swallowed hard, her face turning a little pale.
Seeing Angie and Phoebe's reactions, Chloe couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
What was going on?
Why did they react so strongly when it came to Damon's mother?
What kind of person was she?
"What's with your reactions?"
Angie slowly looked up at Chloe with sympathy, "She... Actually... she's not that bad."
Chloe's face gradually became serious, they were all acting like this, and yet they said, "she's not that bad"?
Angie never reacted like this in front of Presley, but when it came to Damon's mother, they seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Was she really that terrifying?
As Chloe was pondering this, Angie and Phoebe were beginning to feel restless.
"We won't disturb your rest then. Get well soon."
With that, the two of them hurriedly headed out of the ward.
It wasn't until dusk that Damon returned to the ward.
Chloe was standing by the window, her arms crossed in front of her, one hand slightly bent, her fingernail lightly resting on her lips, her expression somewhat heavy, as if she was thinking about something.
Her tall, slender figure was wrapped in a large hospital gown, looking a little petite.
Her hair was tied back, revealing a pair of small ears. She stood there, her beautiful profile looking somewhat serious, her long eyelashes fluttering unconsciously. The aloof and indifferent aura she emitted, along with her non-competitive elegance, were unmatched by anyone in this world.
She always exuded this unique aura unintentionally.
He walked up to her, bent down to pick her up.
"Ah…"
Chloe was suddenly lifted, she let out a small cry, then felt a familiar scent enter her nostrils, and she held onto the man's shoulders tightly.
