?Chapter 1021:


    At the mention of the Brock family, Paul’s guarded attitude eased.


    Despite his initial misgivings, he offered a courteous nod.


    “Ah, so you’re Everett’s sister.


    Forgive me, I’ve been away from Blebert for some time, so I didn’t recognize you.”


    “That’s perfectly fine, Mr. Nash,” Chloe replied sweetly.


    “It’s never toote to get acquainted.”


    “Hahaha… You’re a fine youngdy!” Paulughed, turning to Everett.

    “Your sister’s not only lovely but also well-spoken.


    The Brock family has raised her well.”


    Since the Brock family had helped him in the past, Paul held them in high regard, easily setting aside his earlier hesitation about Chloe.


    Everett, however, wasn’t thrilled with his sister’s bold approach to Paul, though he kept his feelings hidden behind a polite smile.


    “Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Nash,” Everett replied modestly.


    “She’s just a bit of decor for the family, really.”


    Chloe kept a close watch on Paul and her brother, curiosity sparking in her eyes.


    She didn’t yet know the details of their rtionship, but it was clear that this connection ran deeper than mere acquaintance.


    Paul’s shift in attitude didn’t escape her notice.


    Before he found out her family name, his politeness had a distant edge.


    But once he realized she was a Brock, a warmer tone entered his voice.


    After a short exchange with Everett, Paul turned back to Chloe.


    “Chloe, is there something specific you want to discuss with me?”


    Chloe hesitated briefly, then answered, “Oh, nothing really.


    I just thought I should introduce myself.


    After all, Tiffany and I are quite good friends.


    She’s been through a lot thesest few years, and now that you’re back, I’m genuinely happy for her.”


    She’d originally nned to expose Marissa’s real identity directly.


    But at thest second, she decided against it.


    She preferred to y her cards carefully, letting others do the dirty work for her.


    This way, she could watch events unfold without risking her own reputation.


    Paul took in her words, pausing thoughtfully before his eyes instinctively shifted to Marissa.


    Before Marissa could get a word out, Chloe grabbed her hand tightly, shing a big smile.


    “Tiffany, congrattions!”


    Marissa’s stomach twisted.
