Chapter 138


    Carolina’s expression and posture seemed way off the chart


    Chloe frowned ufortably.


    “This is thedy of the Summers family? Damn… she looks even more stunning than what I’ve


    heard!”


    Connor, standing aside, suddenly spoke with a grin.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    He knew the rumors about Chloe, of course.


    But he never expected Chloe to be this gorgeous.


    Connor’s eyes behind his gold rimmed sses unabashedly took in Chios


    Stunning!


    Absolutely stunning!


    Especially her refreshing and clean unique aura, something no other woman could replicate


    That noble aura, seemingly approachable yet untouchable, was indeed heart fluttering


    Carolina at the side saw through Connor’s thoughts and smiled satisfied


    However, Chloe remained silent. Carolina’s face changed.


    “Chloe! Mr. Jewell is talking to you, didn’t you hear?!”


    Carolina reprimanded Chloe in a low voice, her eyes full of warning


    Chloe’s eyes suddenly turned icy, meeting Carolina’s gaze head–on.


    Carolina felt a chill run down her spine.


    Connor’s gaze lingered on Chloe’s cold yet beautiful face, her icy demeanor piqued his interest


    even more.


    “Hey, Carolina, don’t be too harsh.”


    Carolina pulled a stiff smile, “Mr. Jewell, sorry for the scene, my granddaughter can be quite a


    handful.”


    “What’s the big deal, it just shows Ms. Summers‘ uniqueness.”


    Carolina chuckled and turned her head, only to see Chloe was pulled aside by Rose Davis.


    Connor’s gaze stayed on Chloe’s retreating figure, a smug smile ying at his lips.


    Keira found out from a waiter that Lance was on the terrace in the corridor.


    She gently walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, her body pressed against


    his back.


    “Lance…”


    Lance frowned, nced at the hands suddenly appeared around his waist, and slowly turned


    around.


    “Why are you here, aren’t you cold?”


    Keira asked him cautiously, but got no reply from Lance.


    “Lance, do you love me?”


    Keira bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears.


    Lance’s gaze grewplicated, he didn’t expect her to ask this out of the blue.


    *… You know what? I feel really insecure. I knew about your engagement with Chloe, but I still fell


    for you. I want to do my best, to make everyone believe I’m the one who deserves to be with you.


    I thought tonight was the moment to prove it all, but I didn’t expect Chloe to show up at the party


    with such stunning and high–headed attitude.


    Everyone was fascinated by her, including you!


    Lance, did you realize how you looked at her tonight? Every nce you threw at her was like a knife


    stabbing into my heart.


    I just want to be with you at all costs, I don’t want to lose you. Lance, I’m scared, I’m really


    scared…”


    Keira’s tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke.


    Lance’s heart ached with pain and sympathy.


    At the party, despite all the humiliation, Keira didn’t shed a tear


    But now, when no one was around, she cried her heart out.


    Her words struck his heart one by one, causing him pain and guilt.


    He couldn’t deny what Keira had just said, he had to admit, his heart did flutter for Chloe tonight.


    Wiping away the tears on Keira’s face, Lance sighed, “Stop crying. Your makeup is all smeared,


    you’re not pretty anymore.”


    Keira shook her head, “I’m not pretty anymore. Tonight… tonight… I lost all my dignity, whether I


    should have or shouldn’t have. I’m even about to lose you, do I still care about being pretty?”


    “What are you talking about, when did I say I don’t want you?” Lance felt helpless, yet his tone was


    full of affection


    Keira stepped forward, her thin arms gently wrapping around his neck, pressing her curvaceous


    body against his broad chest. With tear filled eyes, she looked at him, tiptoed, and gently kissed


    Lance’s lips…
