Chapter 1296


    Chloe frowned, uttering coldly, “Don’t you dare leave!”


    Miles‘ grip on the hospital room door turned his knuckles white, but he forced himself to halt. He


    hadn’t turned around, yet Chloe could sense the anger radiating off him from his rigid stance.


    “What are you nning to do if you walk out now? Start a fight? Miles, have you lost your mind?”


    His anger remained uncontroble.


    Jacob, that despicable snake, had previously done everything in his power to keep Miles from


    competing. Now, because of his position at Starlight International, he couldn’t deal with him


    directly, so he resorted to such low tactics!


    A car ident… He dared to endanger a life just for apetition!


    If Jacob wanted to harm someone, he should’ve targeted him. Why drag Katie into this? The


    thought of killing Jacob right now was all too tempting for Miles. Just thinking about how Jacob


    pushed Katie to this state, Miles couldn’t hold back. With a forceful push, he swung open the


    hospital room door.


    “Do you really think Jacob, the man you know, would be so careless and make it this obvious?” The


    indifferent voice behind him made Miles tense up. “Who do you think he’s putting on a show for, and


    you haven’t figured it out yet? Miles, if you walk out that door to confront him today, you’ll even lose


    your eligibility topete.”


    That was Jacob’s strategy. If he were beaten up by an irate Miles, and it became a media


    sensation, Miles would hardly have a chance to turn things around. If a person wanted to suppress


    you, once they seeded in doing so, they could keep you down for a long time.

    If Jacob won the championship again, as a renowned international makeup artist, his glory would


    unlikely have allowed Miles a chance to expose his crimes, restrain him, or oppress him.


    “You think you’re the only one who sees something fishy? You think journalists are blind? Then why


    haven’t they exposed this? Don’t they want an exclusive? Because there’s no evidence. Miles,


    Jacob’s audacious actions are because he’s confident no one can easily find evidence. If you go


    confront him now, it’s like walking into a trap, you’re practically seeking death!” Chloe red at him


    coldly, her words devoid of warmth.


    Such an obvious and foolish trap, everyone was waiting to see Miles make a fool of himself, waiting


    for Miles to hand Jacob the opportunity to strike him, to create the biggest scoop of the year, and he


    was actually going to do it!


    Chloe’s words seemed to finally snap him out of his rage. He turned around and went back into the


    room, his face still filled with indignation and resentment. “But Ms. Summers, we’re just going to let


    this slide? He turned Katie into this…”


    Seeing Katie, unconscious on the hospital bed, Miles swallowed hard. His eyes were filled with


    anguish, defiance, and guilt. It was all his fault, all his fault…


    “We should take away what he values most.”


    Miles looked up at Chloe.


    “Don’t you know what he values most right now?”


    Miles opened his mouth, an answer forming in his mind. Jacob had done everything to prevent him


    frompeting, and now he was doing everything to stop thepetition, going as far as not


    caring about human lives. Today’s ident, whether it happened to Miles or Katie, would’ve halted


    thepetition. It would be, even better for Jacob if both of them were affected.


    All of this, just so he could win the championship without a hitch.


    A Three–time consecutive champion. This honor was almost equivalent to Chloe’s three–time


    consecutive champion awards in the international perfumepetition.


    A Top–level international makeup artist, Jacob had always valued his reputation, and this year’s


    three–time championship was his most important award.


    He had known this for a long time, but Miles entered thispetition just to gain more recognition.


    He was not aplete failure. He might not have been worse than others. He needed recognition.


    In addition to proving himself, he also wanted to show Chloe that her trust in him was not


    misced!


    He indeed wanted to defeat Jacob, but his focus was not entirely on him. But now, he realized his


    determination to beat Jacob was so strong. He desperately wanted to win this championship, so he


    would not let Jacob have his way!


    Miles‘ face gradually hardened, and there was a rare determination in his eyes.


    Chloe gave a small smile. She didn’t think a man’s determination was a bad thing. With this


    determination, a man would have the will to strive, clearly set his goals, and steadfastly achieve


    them.


    And she didn’t thinkpetition was a bad thing either. It could help one recognize their


    shorings, correct them or work harder. Because pride wouldn’t allow him to be weaker than


    others.


    So,petition wasn’t a bad thing. Withpetition, with rivals, and with the desire to surpass


    others, one could truly be a high achiever.


    She wasn’t afraid of Wendy, but rather grateful to her forpeting with Starlight International time


    and again.


    She didn’t need to think of a topic every time for thepany or for every artist in thepany.


    With Wendy, Starlight International, or the condition of the artists in thepany, would all be


    hot news that everyone paid attention to..


    Miles‘ obviously different expression, even his aura waspletely different from before. Chloe


    smiled slightly. Men also needed to grow, and they just needed to find the right opportunity.


    She nced at Katie, lying unconscious on the hospital bed. She had only thought they would end


    up together, but she didn’t expect their rtionship to progress so quickly. Chloe blinked. Did she


    have the potential to y matchmaker?


    “Go get the wound on your forehead treated. Tomorrow is the day you need to give your all.”


    Chloe reminded him again that thepetition was tomorrow. With Miles‘ mood so low today, she


    was worried it would really affect his performance tomorrow


    “I don’t think she can be your model tomorrow. Out of the artists in thepany, who else do you


    think would be suitable? I’ll notify her immediately.”


    Miles shook his head. “Anyone is fine, I don’t have a specific preference.”


    Chloe smiled. “You look like…”


    “Like I don’t give a damn?”


    “No, I just feel I can handle anyone. Everyone has the right to be beautiful, and I can make anyone


    the most beautiful woman.”


    Chloe nodded. “Do you know the theme for tomorrow’spetition?”


    “I have no clue. The theme is definitely a secret, only to be revealed when thepetition starts.” N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
