Chapter 2


    Pain was etched deep in Chloe’s eyes


    She couldn’t swim and had been underwater longer than Keira Since she just woke up no matter


    how pissed she was, she couldn’t muster the strength to vent it You truly despicable”


    Keira chuckled.


    But without me doing this, you’d never get what it means to sacrifice for others, right? You’re the


    one who wouldn’t leave Lance Olson alone! Keira said


    “Kelta, everyone knows Lance is my fiance! You think everyone is a fool Chloe asked


    Keiraughed, swaying withughter.


    “Even now dont you think everyone is indeed ying the fool?”


    Chloe was speechless, just giving her a cold stare


    Keira was right, everyone was indeed acting like a bunch of fools!


    They kept believing her unquestioningly despite her dirty tricks


    So stupid, damn stupidi


    Including Chloe herself


    What? Still not convinced? Then


    Suddenly, Keira’s face changed. She looked helplessly at Chloe and reached out to grab Chloe’s


    arm


    “Chloe, it’s all my fault


    Don’t touch me”


    Sensing her approach and sudden change of expression, Chloe felt utterly disgusted


    She swiftly raised her hand to block Keira’s touch


    But Keira stumbled, dropping her thermos. It hit the ground with a thud


    Water sshed everywhere!


    Her voice rose,


    “Ah! It hurts“”


    “Chloe, what are you doing?


    A stern voice suddenly came from behind.


    Chloe whirled around. A figure at the door was racing towards them


    She only caught a glimpse of Lance’s ruthless eyes before he showed her aside


    Chloe, already weak, was pushed against the railing, and pain shot through her waist


    Her face turned even paler She gripped the railing behind her tightly to steady herself


    She watched the scene before her, feeling incredibly stupid


    She knew Keira would use all means necessary, yet she kept falling for her tricks!


    She also knew Lance was no fool, but he


    “Lance, it hurts so much”


    Keira said


    Lance stood up at her words, looking even more heartbroken.


    “Hang in there. Til take you to a doctor”


    He said, bending down to pick up Keira. He nced at Chloe, who was watching coldly from the


    side, and said sternly.


    “You go back to your room first. I’lle to see youter!”


    Chloe scoffed, her eyes full of sarcasm


    After Lance had left with Keira, Chloe let out a coldugh.


    Under a nearby tree, an olddy in a wheelchair watched the scene quietly


    “Hannah, did you see what just happened?”


    The olddy spoke, her eyes sharp as she stared at Chloe in the distance


    Thedy next to her, seemed in her fifties, respectfully asked, “Have you seen it clearly, madam?”


    “Hmph, that girl, using such stupid and despicable tricks” The olddy scoffed, speaking angrily

    “But doesnt this just prove the other gil is even more foolish? Can’t even handle such simple and


    crude tricks? The otherdy said.


    The olddy shook her head, wisdom sparkling in her eyes,


    “Hannah, you got it wrong”


    *Please enlighten me” The otherdy said.


    The other girl is too upright. She’s reluctant and disgusted to do anything beyond her moal bottom


    line and against human ethics! So she can’t imagine that there are people in this world who would


    do such things.” The olddy said.


    Hannah nodded. “I understand”


    The olddy stared at Chloe for a while, saying, “However, there are some issues”


    She paused, then continued, “Her temperament and nature are good Call her over, I want to take a


    closer look at her”


    Hannah’s servant was a bit hesitant,


    “But ma’am, your grandson ising soon if he sees a stranger here”


    “What can he do to me?


    The olddy pouted as she spoke sternly, her voice full of affection for her grandson


    Hannah smiled, “Alright, I’ll call her over night away”


    Just then, the gate between the two trees next to them made a few noises.
