Chloe nodded frantically.âI will. Iâll apologize to Alice immediately.â
âNot only apologize, but earn her forgiveness. Even if she makes you kneel and lick her shoes, you do it!â
Chloe mumbled, âIâll try. But I brought you food. I made it myself, especially for Second Brother. Your stomach isnât good; I made medicinal congee.â

Normally, she wouldnât meet the Windhams. But now, things were different. Alice went to the underground parking garage; Blake was careful to avoid the media. She saw him dragging Chloe out of the car. Chloe was injured, her face bruised. Alice smirked.âChloe, you should know your place. Youâre just a driverâs daughter. What makes you think you can compare to me?â
