Chapter 1192


    Chloe''s expression turned sour as she ced the box back on the shelf.


    "How much?" she asked, looking up to see the cashier''s suggestive grin.


    She pulled out her wallet to pay.


    "Chloe, don''t tell me you''ve never actually used one with Mr. Harper?" Rose persisted.


    Chloe''s cheeks med, and she grabbed her shopping bag to leave.


    "Hold up, I''m not done yet!” Rose called out, hurriedly grabbing two packs of Durex condoms off the


    shelf. After paying, she rushed after Chloe.


    "Why aren''t you saying anything? Are you shy around me now?" Rose asked.


    Chloe bit her lip, not responding. Condoms, she had truly never used them. It seemed she and


    Damon had never taken any precautions.


    Rose kept grilling her, but then Chloe''s phone rang.


    "I''ll grab your bags,’ Rose offered, taking the shopping bag from Chloe.


    While Chloe was on the phone, Rose slipped the condoms into the bag. If she hadn''t used them


    before, she could try them today. Besides, she was certain Mr. Harper would be intrigued when he


    saw them.


    Rose was too busy causing mischief to notice the sudden grim look on Chloe''s face as she checked


    her phone. She answered the call and hung up after a few words.


    "Something up?... Got it”


    Only then did Rose notice the somber mood. Chloe looked upset. The smile faded from Rose''s


    face, and she grew serious. "What''s wrong?”


    Chloe ended the call, furrowed her brows, and said, “Carolina wants me to go over to the Summers


    family.’


    Rose frowned. "You agreed?"


    Chloe nodded. "She said someone''s looking for me.’


    “Who would go to the Summers family to look for you?"


    "I don''t know.’


    Chloe shook her head, sighed, and then looked at Rose. "!


    have no idea why she wants me, you...’


    “Of course I''m going with you!"


    Rose cut her off, and after a moment of thought, Chloe agreed and nodded. "Alright.


    When they arrived at the Summers family, there were several trucks parked out front.


    "What''s going on? Is someone here to collect debts from the Summers? Is your grandma unable to


    pay her debts and being forced to move? Is she calling you to help her?”


    Chloe chuckled. "When did you be so imaginative?"


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    "It''s called deduction,’ Rose emphasized.


    Chloe gave a strainedugh, but it was short-lived. She had to admit she believed Rose''s theory.


    For Carolina, this wouldn''t be a big deal. If she was in debt, Chloe would have to pay it off, as if it


    was the most natural thing in the world.


    This expectation was built on the premise that Chloe wouldn''t hold Carolina ountable for her


    past errors.


    A chill ran down Chloe''s spine. Before, Pulse Entertainment was barely hanging on and short on


    funds. She wasn''t sure if Carolina had any debts. She shouldn''t concern herself with these issues,


    but if Carolina was nning to push the problem onto her, she needed toe up with some sort of


    solution.


    As they parked in front of the Summers family mansion, Chloe and Rose walked in together. The


    staff member who opened the door greeted Chloe with a smile. "Ms. Chloe.’


    Chloe didn''t respond.


    As they entered the yard, they noticed the staff whispering amongst themselves. They were


    surrounding dozens of boxes, stacked up conspicuously. Seeing Chloe, they quickly greeted her


    and dispersed.


    "What''s all this? Are they really moving?" Rose asked curiously, but Chloe didn''t answer, she just


    frowned and walked into the living room. Even if they were paying off debts, the decision to


    mortgage the house wasn''t solely Carolina''s.


    Rose stayed in the yard, studying the boxes with a serious expression.


    When Chloe appeared, all eyes were on her. Carolina sat elegantly on the sofa in her burgundy


    dress. She seemed much older than before, but she was still smiling. Her smile didn''t fade when


    she saw Chloe, it only grew. “Chloe, you''re back?"


    She greeted Chioe warmly, like a loving grandmother. This was a stark contrast to her previous cold


    and disdainful attitude towards Chloe. But given her past behavior, Chloe could only describe her


    current demeanor as hypocritical.


    Would she change her attitude to match hers? Why bother?


    But judging from her current demeanor, it didn''t seem like someone was here to collect debts.


    Rose''s prediction might''ve been off.


    Her grandfather looked furious, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Seeing this, Chloe''s heart sank.


    She knew that being called back this time couldn''t mean anything good.


    "Ms. Chloe!"


    A somewhat familiar voice called out, causing Chloe to turn her attention to the only stranger in the


    room. Deep blue eyes, and a distinctive face, he seemed familiar, but she couldn''t ce him.


    "Who are you?"


    "It''s me, Ms. Chloe, we rode horses together in West Valley, don''t you remember?"


    After his hint, Chloe knew who he was. "You''re Mr. Rhys.”


    "That''s right! It''s me! I''m so happy you remember me.”


    Chloe sauntered into the living room, sidling up next to her grandpa, and gently murmured,


    "Grandpa?"


    Jonah suddenly clutched her hand, giving it a firm squeeze, "You know him?"


    Chloe shot a nce at Rhys across the room, nonchntly saying, "We''ve met once.’


    That sentence seemed to make Jonah''s panting even heavier. Chloe furrowed her brows, clueless


    about his anger, but it was probably because of Mr. Rhys sitting across the room.


    "Can I help you with something?"


    At this moment, Carolina chimed in with a grin, "You two are already engaged, why so formal?”
