Chapter 56

Chapter 56 She Really Wanted to Hit Someone Right Now

After class, Chloe saw that Icarus was still there and asked, “Waiting for someone?”

“I’m waiting for my relatives. We have to attend a forum this afternoon,” he replied.

“Okay, goodbye then,” she said.

Icarus was dressed in a white casual suit, and his gold-rimmed glasses reflected a gentle light as he called out, “Chloe.”

“Yes?” Chloe turned her head.

“What kind of flowers do you like?” he asked sincerely.

“I don’t like flowers,” she replied.

His smile froze and he fell silent for a moment.

“I see,” he said.

Chloe did not understand why he suddenly asked this question, but she was not going to stick around to find out.

However, she unexpectedly ran into Jake.

Holding a new set of car keys in his hand, he looked around. “Does that old lover of yours stay in this area?”

This was the upscale villa area of Aesper.

“You better watch your mouth,” Chloe said with disgust in her tone.

As time passed, Jake’s true character became increasingly apparent to her, causing her to question what had initially drawn her to him.

“If you’re afraid of others talking about what you did, then don’t do it.”

“It’s none of your business. Don’t be like Ava, biting people like a mad dog when you see them,” Chloe replied.

This reminded Jake of the incident a few days ago where he wrongly accused Chloe of stealing his family heirloom.

“Making mistakes is something everyone does. Ava was just extremely worried when she discovered that my family’s precious heirloom was missing. She didn’t Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Intentionally try to implicate you. You should take the higher road and forgive her,’

Jake said, “Ava cried throughout the night after realizing that she had falsely accused you. Besides, didn’t you make it out of the station unharmed?”

“Get the f*ck out of my face!” Chloe’s face trembled with anger.

“Coco, you never used to swear like this. Why have you changed? If it’s because of me and I’ve hurt you too much, I’m willing to apologize. We can’t be husband and wife, but we can still be friends or family. I’ll protect you like a good brother. You should leave that old man and stop angering your father,” Jake advised.

Chloe picked up a stone and weighed it in her palm. Gritting her teeth, she said with a sinister smile, “Not only have I learned how to curse, but I also want to hit you. You’d better disappear or I won’t be able to control myself and will beat you until your skin. splits open.”

She was not joking. She really wanted to hit someone right now.

All of this was caused by Jake and Ava. How could they turn around and blame her?

In the past, Chloe thought that as long as she complied and endured, she could earn her father’s care and her family’s harmony. But years had passed, and with each passing day, they just grew bolder and bolder, taking away all that she had held dear.

She had learned the hard way that compliance and endurance were useless. If she wanted what she desired, she had to stop at nothing and use any means necessary.

She was determined to make them all bow down and call her “Aunt Chloe.”

Jake recoiled in fear and called her crazy before quickly running away. From a distance, Icarus saw Jake running away in panic.

“What’s got you running like you’re being chased by a ghost?” he asked, “You’re getting married soon, so it’s high time you matured and stopped behaving so childishly.

Jake laughed awkwardly and suggested, “Uncle Icarus, would you like to come to our house for dinner? My mom hasn’t seen you in ages.”

“I can’t. I have some business to attend to,” Icarus replied, handing him the keys to his seaside villa. “Have a good time with your wife.”

“Thank you, Uncle Icarus.”

Ava had been wanting to spend quality time with Jake in a seaside villa as a post- engagement celebration. Since Jake’s uncle owned one, he was planning to surprise her

with it.

“Oh, by the way, my mom wanted me to tell you that you’re not getting any younger, and it’s time for you to settle down and start a family. She has someone in mind for you, and if you’re interested, she’d like you to meet her,” Jake said.

“I have my sights set on someone already,” Icarus replied, leaving Jake in shock and delight.

“Who?” Jake asked eagerly.
