Chapter 76 Do You Really Hate the Idea That <b>I </b>Saved You?


    Chloe looked coldly at Curtis. “What? I saved you back then. Can’t I even curse at you a few times <i>now</i>?


    Curtis, if I hadn’t saved you that day, do you think you’d still be talking to me <i>now</i>?”


    He would have been long gone.


    Curtis‘ expression changed. “Where did you hear about me falling into the river and being injured? Are you trying to make me believe that you were the one who saved me?”


    Chloe froze. She had never expected him to say something like that.


    This felt even worse than ingratitude. He didn’t even n on acknowledging her kindness at all.


    From the moment she had recognized him as the young man she had dragged out of the river, she had


    never once thought of holding that over him. Otherwise, why would she have stayed silent about it all


    these years?


    If she hadn’t lost her temper after what had happened at the airport, she might never have spoken of it at


    all.


    And now, Curtis was twisting it as though she had deliberately misled him.


    “So you think I’m just making this up?” Chloeughed, finding it ridiculous.


    Curtis frowned. “Isn’t that the truth? Clearly, the one who saved me wasn’t you. You just said that to make


    me feel guilty and torment me.”


    She stared at him. In his eyes, she noticed a clear sense of expectation. He was hoping that she would


    nod and admit that what he said was right.


    How could something this absurd happen?


    “Curtis, do you really hate the idea that I saved you?” she asked.


    There was an awkward look on Curtis‘ face. “I just want to clear things up.”


    “Clear things up?” Chloe sneered. “How do you n on doing that? Do you want me to say I lied? Do you want me to say I never saved your life? That I was never your savior? Then, you wouldn’t feel guilty that our marriage ended in divorce. Is that it?”


    Curtis froze.


    But Chloe continued coldly, “Unfortunately, I never wanted your guilt in the first ce. Curtis, your guilt is


    absolutely worthless to me right now.<i>” </i>


    A sharp pang pierced his chest. Curtis felt like Chloe’s voice seemed to cut him every time she spoke.


    This was the woman who had once apanied him with gentle devotion. She had lost her parents and her brother, and he became her only support.

    So what happened? Why was she looking at him so coldly, as though he was nothing to her anymore?


    Curtis felt himself burning with an anger he couldn’t exin. “Is that it? My guilt means nothing to you? Then why would you tell such a ridiculous lie? Sonya was clearly the one who saved me. Did you think just


    a few words from you would make me believe otherwise?”


    “What?” Chloe was taken aback. What nonsense was that?


    She had been the one to pull Curtis out of the raging river. What did Sonya have to <i>do </i>with it?


    He said firmly, “I only came to hear the truth from you. I don’t want you trying to use this to deceive me.”


    “You’re saying Sonya saved you?” Chloe narrowed her eyes.


    “Yes!” Curtis snapped. “You didn’t expect that, did you? I’ve known for a long time who my savior was! So stop telling me such ridiculous lies.”


    Ridiculous?


    Chloe burst outughing. “Curtis, I wonder who the ridiculous one actually is?”


    She had risked her life, diving into the surging river to drag him out. Yet now, he was convinced that Sonya was the one who had saved his life.


    “The ridiculous one is obviously you!” A mocking voice suddenly came out of nowhere. “Chloe, I can’t believe you actually tried to pretend that you saved Curtis. How shameless could you be?”


    Chloe turned to see Willow approaching the balcony with Sonya by her side.


    Sonya’s cheeks were still red and swollen from the two ps Brian had given her earlier. Clearly, Brian


    hadn’t held back.


    Chloe ignored Willow and fixed her gaze on Sonya. “So, it was you who told Curtis that you saved him


    from the river.”


    Sonya had been prepared for this for a long time. From the moment she decided to apany Curtis to


    Yarfdale, she knew that he would confront Chloe. So, this situation was well within her expectations.


    “I didn’t say it. Curtis and the others saw it with their own eyes! I was the one who pulled him out,” Sonya


    replied smoothly. “I went with him in the ambnce and stayed with him at the hospital. I even visited him many times while he recovered!”


    The second half of her words were true, so Sonya didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty saying all of that.


    Chloe stared hard at her. “I’m asking you if you were the one who saved Curtis from the river.”


    Her piercing gaze made Sonya’s heart jolt. For a moment, she felt crushed under Chloe’s presence.


    “Who else could it be if not Sonya? You?” Willow snapped.


    “I’m asking Sonya, not you,” Chloe retorted. “What does it have to do with you?”


    Chapter 76 Do You Really Hate the Idea That I Saved You?


    “Of course, it has something to do with me,” Willow replied. “Sonya’s my cousin. It’s only natural that I


    stand up for her.”


    “Cousin?” Chloe blinked. <fn12b2> Readplete version only at Find1Novel</fn12b2>


    “Sonya’s mother is a Quall, too,” Willow said proudly.


    So, Sonya’s mother was part of the Quall family. It meant that, strictly speaking, Chloe and Sonya were distantly rted.


    Chloe had never expected such a connection.


    Willow looked at Chloe with disdain. She had just learned from Sonya that Chloe was divorced.


    A divorced woman. It made Chloe even less worthy of Brian now.


    “Don’t tell me you regret your divorce? Is that why you’re making this up to win him back? Too bad. Your ex


    -husband already knows you’re lying. You were never his savior!” Willow sneered.


    Sonya joined in, saying scornfully, “Chloe, you’re divorced. Why are you stooping to such tricks? Do you think Curtis will reconcile with you if he believes you saved him?”


    Facing their mockery and nder, Chloe’s cold gaze turned to Curtis. “So, you really believe it was Sonya who saved you?”


    A trace of hesitation flickered in Curtis‘ eyes, but when he met Sonya’s expectant gaze, he finally said, “I believe Sonya.”


    When he’d woken up in the hospital, Sonya had been at his side. Everyone had said she had ridden in the ambnce with him and brought him there.


    Her being his savior was always something beyond doubt.


    So if Chloe imed otherwise, it could only be a lie.


    But Chloe’s expression hardly changed. She had long known that, when it came to choosing between her and Sonya, Curtis would always choose Sonya.


    “Curtis, do you really believe someone like Sonya had the strength to pull you out of the raging river?” Chloe demanded.
