"Chloe......"
Keira was taken aback by Chloe's words, a hint of sorrow flashing across her face.
She turned to Carolina, looking a bit lost, before stuttering, "Don't you like this dress? Don’t worry, I have others... Granny came all the way here for you, can you really let her down?"
The dissatisfaction on Carolina's face deepened.
"Chloe, how long are you planning to hold a grudge against me? I'm asking you to attend a party, should I have to beg you?"
Sarcasm and ice were all that could be seen in Chloe's eyes.
"I don't get it, for the past six years, you guys have never let me represent the Summers family at any parties! And now all of a sudden, you're begging me to go?"
"You... you're too ungrateful!" Carolina spat out, with her eyes blazing with anger.
"Alright, alright!"
Jonah, feeling helpless, interrupted the tense atmosphere. After a moment of silence, he turned to Chloe.
"It's a rare opportunity, wouldn't it be nice to have some fun? You're always working... Besides, this party is quite a big deal, think about the Harper family's connections. If you meet a few people there, it might be really helpful for your career..."
"Yeah, Chloe, not just anyone gets invited to the Harper Group's party..."
"I didn't say I wasn't going!"
Chloe cut off Keira's pretentious talk, sounding quite impatient.
"I just don't want to go with you! Grandpa, I'll leave you to rest and I'll come visit you when I have time."
With that, Chloe didn't spare anyone in the room another glance, and she y turned and left.
