Chapter 1096
The minute Dorthy heard about the confidentiality agreement and the hefty penalty for breaching it,
she became instantly cautious. Still, deep down, she felt a sense of injustice for what Chloe was
going through. Being insulted and physically attacked without any reason whatsoever, anyone
would feel aggrieved. “But she just went off on people for no reason…”

Rhoda gently pinched Dorthy’s arm, signaling her to keep quiet for now, then lifted her head and
looked at Makenna with a smile, saying, “Makenna, there’s some merit to what she just said. You
launched into a tirade without getting all the facts straight, which isn’t really fair, is it? Ms. Summers
says she’s not a homewrecker. Could there be some misunderstanding?”
The bystanders all nodded in agreement. “Yeah, what if she’s really not to me?”
“I don’t think she’s that type of person.”
I also think we should get our facts straight before jumping to conclusions.”
Makenna looked a bit annoyed. “A beautiful woman, hanging around my husband’s hotel room
door, who else could it be?”
Dorthy blinked. Was she being overlooked? “I was there at the time, too.”
Makenna gave her a nce. “You’re not as pretty as her.”
Dorthy felt a bit humiliated.
“And, just because she says she isn’t, doesn’t mean she isn’t, right? If she were indeed the other
woman and got caught, she’d definitely be trying to hide somewhere!”
Chloe stood silently on the side, slightly turned away, sneaking a nce at Rhoda. Since she’d
chosen toe forward, there was bound to be more drama. She was curious to see just how
much Rhoda hated her.
Rhoda was expressionless, thinking for a second before saying, “Well, since you don’t believe us,
why don’t we ask Mr. Austin! I’m sure he won’t lie in front of you!”
She looked up at the obese man in the ck bathrobe, saying softly, “Mr. Austin, are you really
unable to turn on the TV in your room?”
The man looked up at Rhoda. Rhoda raised an eyebrow at him and smiled, and the man
immediately answered, “Unable to turn on the TV? How many times have I been to this hotel? How
could I possibly not know how to turn on the TV?”
Chloe stood by, smiling, watching Rhoda, silently sneering.
Hearing Austin’s answer, Rhoda nced at Chloe, only to find Chloe sneering. The smile was
small, but it was full of sarcasm, and even had an air of indifference, like a bystander enjoying the
drama.
Thatposed attitude shattered her confidence. Rhoda hated the feeling of being easily
suppressed. She looked away and then said, “So, Mr. Austin, you and Ms. Chloe…”
She stopped short, nced at Chloe, and looking pained, asked, “Do you really have that kind of
affair?”
Austin looked at his stern wife, who was watching him closely, thinking about what would happen if
she found out about him and her niece, including her family…
He would definitely be punished by them! And if people found out, not only would he lose the thrill of
cheating under his wife’s nose, but he would also be seen as a moral scandal and be mocked and
med by everyone.
The woman told him that she had arranged everything, and that there shouldn’t be any major
problems. He was almost exposed by a waiter just now, but luckily she stopped it in time. So she
seemed somewhat trustworthy.
But now there were so many people around, and as a man, answering every question seemed
somewhat undignified. Besides, after so long in the business world, he knew how to be tactful.
“What do you mean? Why are you asking so many questions?! Stop making a scene, are you trying
to embarrass us? Everybody, just go away!”
He shooed people away as he spoke, pausing when he reached Chloe, then sighed, “Alright, you
shouldn’t be here either. Just go!”
He neither admitted nor denied, but his vague answer implicitly told everyone that the woman he
had shared a room with was her. Whispers broke out around them, and the sneer on Chloe’s lips
became more pronounced.
Makenna scoffed, “Still not admitting it? You little tramp, your man has implied it now, do you think
he could be mistaken about his own actions?!”
These harsh words brought Chloe’s thoughts to a standstill. But she still pulled out her phone and
dialed a number. The call was answered quickly, and Chloe’s voice was icy.
‘Mr. Watson, I’m just calling to let you know, I’m not working as your hotel consultant anymore! Also,
the hotel’s reputation might take a hit, but I’ll figure out a solution!”
Upon hearing Chloe’s cold voice, ud didn’t hesitate, saying simply, “Understood.”
“Thank you.”
Makenna was still cursing, her voice grating. Rhoda was trying to calm the woman down. Like,
“Makenna, don’t get too worked up, Mr. Austin didn’t say who it was.”
“Getting angry can harm your health, then wouldn’t you be giving other women the advantage?”
“You said it yourself, she could at most get some clothes, bags, and jewelry. That wouldn’t threaten
your position!”
Makenna yelled, “Pah! What does she think she is, trying to rece me? I was the one who lifted
Austin up when he had nothing! She thinks she can take my ce with unfair methods, she must be
dreaming!”
Chloe’s face was cold, the harsh words stinging her eardrums like needles. She walked quickly to
Makenna, so fast that everyone barely saw her move.
All they heard were a few ‘smack” sounds, and Makenna’s cursing stopped.
When the noise died down, everyone looked over. They then heard a “thud” as the plump Makenna
was easily knocked to the ground by Chloe. Everyone gasped in surprise, even Dorthy, who was
startled by the sudden development. She blinked and stood stiff, swallowing hard.
Incredible… Those ps were spot on!
That was so satisfying!
Makenna was a bit dazed from the ps andy on the ground for a while before she seemed to
come to her senses. Struggling to support her plump body, she stood up and began to shriek like a
madwoman. “You monster! How dare you hit me? I think you really want to die! You wait, just you
wait!!… I’ll make you pay!”
