    “I begged you guys to trust me, but you chose to hide this info instead. Because of your cover–up,


    everyone thought I seduced the judges in the pianopetition!”


    “As for the fashion contest, I was used of giarism? I insisted it was my own design, but Keira


    cried and said she stayed up all night to make it, and you guys chose to believe her over


    me…”


    “In the end, I got kicked out of school, and you shipped me abroad to save face. You never cared


    about me in the past three years…”


    Chloe’s throat was beginning to burn, but she tried her best to hold back, standing up straight with


    sadness in her eyes but also determination.


    “Just because I didn’t cry and make a scene like other girls, does that mean I don’t deserve your


    attention and sympathy? Do you think you’ve actually done enough and fulfilled your


    responsibilities?”


    “But have you ever considered that it was your actions that had pushed me into the abyss?”


    “You didn’t help me when I needed it the most, nor did you share your glory with me when you were


    on top! Instead, when you’re about to hit rock bottom, you hope I can give you a hand and sacrifice


    myself onest time for the Summers family?”


    “Where on Earth can you find such a good deal? We shouldn’t treat each other like fools, so why


    don’t we leave each other with some dignity?”


    When Chloe finished speaking, she just nced at Jonah, who was sitting at the head of the table.


    He was thest member of the Summers family she respected deep down.


    If they still had some dignity left, they should let her go!


    She didn’t want anything to do with the Summers family anymore.


    “I’ll attend the anniversary celebration. As for the family dinner…you guys can continue without


    me.”


    After saying that, Chloe pushed her chair back and turned to leave the private room.


    “Chloe


    Jonah called out loudly to Chloe while chasing after her in his wheelchair.


    “Grandpa, let me help you…”

    Keira immediately stood up from her seat.


    “Don’t follow me!”


    Jonah yelled sternly, scaring Keira into staying put.


    Chloe walked quickly towards the exit,pletely fed up with everything here and desperate to


    leave.


    “Chloe!”


    Jonah still caught up with Chloe.


    “Is there anything else?”


    Chloe looked coldly at the old man in the wheelchair.


    “Do you me me?”


    There was a hint of helplessness in his tired voice.


    Chloe closed her eyes and said,


    “…If she hadn’t brought you here, I wouldn’t havee tonight… I just want to know… You wanted


    me here tonight, right?”


    Jonah sighed deeply, went silent for a moment, and then reached out to hold Chloe’s hand. His


    rough hand was warm.


    “I did this for your own good. There are some things…


    Chloe’s heart felt cold, her fingers trembling slightly.


    “Grandpa, I’d rather just get a phone call, telling me that my engagement with Lance is officially


    over. The Olson family and the Summers family need to consider their overall interests, and


    let me unterally propose to cancel the engagement… Although it’d still be sad, it’d be much better


    thaning here tonight and enduring such humiliation!
