Jonah sat up and said, "You know damn well that Chloe and Lance just broke up! And what's with Keira liking Lance? Chloe's fiancé is with her sister, how do you expect her to deal with that?
"Instead of comforting her, you're making her cover for them, you... you..."
Jonah was furious, truly feeling sorry for Chloe.
"Lance doesn't love Chloe, but he's destined to be the son-in-law of the Summers family! Chloe can't avoid this! Keira is her sister, and Lance will be her brother-in-law! Everything is set in stone, what difference does it make? I'm her grandmother, and if she can't accept it, I'll force her to! I'm not afraid to be the bad guy!"
"You..."
"Enough! You go to rest and mind your own business!"
Carolina forcefully cut off Jonah's words and left after finishing her rant.
Chloe didn't stay home for long and headed straight for the front door.
"Chloe, wait."
Keira's voice came from behind, but Chloe didn't stop and walked out the door.
As Chloe passed an old locust tree at the villa's entrance, Keira caught up and stood in front of her.
Her vulnerable expression from before had disappeared.
Now she was smiling at Chloe.
"Chloe, you're finally home, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
She emphasized the word "home" as she spoke.
Chloe squinted her eyes, a glint of coldness flashing through them.
"Are you satisfied showing off your achievements to me?"
"What are you talking about? Your home is here, you can come back anytime, no one will stop you. I won't be staying here for too long..."
Keira paused for a moment, then laughed.
