Chapter 165


    You


    Chloe furrowed her brows slightly and, after a few seconds of silence, decided to go in anyway.


    “Ah, Chloe’s here…”


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    The greeting words sounded a bit awkward.


    Chloe managed to show a faint smile, as her upbringing made it impossible for her to ignore the two


    people in front of her.


    The one who just spoke to her was Lauretta Ablett, Lance’s mother.


    She was wearing a purplece dress and looked well–preserved, with her beautiful features still


    intact.


    Sitting next to her was a middle–aged man in a suit and leather shoes, Grover Olson.


    His face looked naturally serious, but he was quite handsome. He and Lance looked very much


    alike.


    How Chloe and Lance felt about each other was their own business.


    She never thought of venting on the two elders the resentment in her heart caused by Lance’s


    betrayal.


    But why meet again on such an asion?


    Today, Carolina said it was the Summers family’s banquet.


    Why were the two elders of the Olson family present?


    Chloe’s lukewarm response made Lauretta awkwardly look at her husband.


    Groverforted her with a nce, his face showing a hint of helplessness.


    “Youngdy, the elders are trying to greet you. What kind of attitude is this?”


    From the side, Nick Summers spoke in a deep voice, feeling very displeased with Chloe’s attitude


    which made the atmosphere tense as soon as she entered.


    “It’s fine, it’s fine…”


    Lauretta hurriedly stepped in to mediate. After all, she didn’t dislike Chloe, and from beginning to


    end, it was the Olson family that owed Chloe.


    Chloe ignored Nick. In fact, from the beginning to the end, she never paid attention to Nick and


    Viviana Reeves.


    Chloe poured herself a ss of water, took a sip, and just put the ss back on the table when a


    burst ofughter came from the doorway. “Grandpa is right, you’re so pretty. You would look pretty


    even dressed in rags.”


    “No way, I’ll never be in rags!”


    Chloe’s hand gripping the ss tightened slightly. With her back to the door, she didn’t even turn


    around.


    Jonah Summers‘ughter grew closer and closer, making Chloe feel deste inside.


    She told herself she shouldn’t be like this. Keira was his granddaughter too, and he wasn’t wrong in


    treating them equally.


    But if it was him who invited her to this gathering today, did he ever think about how ridiculous her


    position here would be?! Lance pushed wheelchair–bound Jonah in, while Keira walked in arm in


    arm with him, chatting andughing.


    “I’m sorry for the wait. Lance and I went to pick up grandpa from home.”


    Keira probably saw Lance’s parents as soon as she entered, and shyly exined her reason for


    beingte.


    Lauretta smiled, “It’s fine. It’s only natural.”


    Nick chimed in with a smile, “Look, she hasn’t even gotten married yet, and she’s already forgetting


    about her own parents!”


    “Dad, what are you talking about?”


    Keira stomped her foot, yfully pouting at Nick with a shy expression.


    Lauretta covered her mouth andughed, jokingly saying:


    “That’s right. Once they get married, Keira will be part of our Olson family from then on.”


    “Haha, even so, she’ll always be the most precious treasure of the Summers family…”
