Just as Chloe was about to turn and leave, she suddenly heard Carolina's heavy and aged voice.
She froze in her tracks.
She looked at Carolina with a bit of surprise, seeing the old lady gazing up at her with a face of heartbreak and disappointment.
She remembered how this old lady used to dote on her.
But then, w
hen other people’s interests got involved, w
hen someone else knew how to butter up the old lady better, w
hen she was quietly watching their joy from the corner
, they all gradually drifted further and further away from her.
All she wanted was to hold onto the last shred of familial love, but she ended up in such a pitiful state.
Disappointment...
No one was more disappointed than her.
She never thought that in this world, love and affection could be stolen from her.
"That's just how you guys see it. Whatever I do is wrong. If I do nothing, it's still wrong. You guys will always be disappointed in me."
Chloe said coldly, then headed for the backyard.
According to her grandfather's habits, he should be in the backyard.
Looking at the modest courtyard, Chloe's pace slowed down.
Her grandpa was always laid-back, unconcerned with gains and losses, and always went with the flow.
Otherwise, the company wouldn't have ended up in Grandma’s hands.
Grandma's competitive nature was in stark contrast to Grandpa’s.
The busy servants in the backyard saw Chloe, hesitated for a moment, then snapped back to reality.
