If this matter got out, not only would Chloe’s career be affected, but the Jiang family would also be in grave danger.

After all, Frank’s status in the Imperial City was such that it would be a piece of cake for him to destroy the small Jiang family if he were agitated.

At this moment, Shaun suddenly said, “I am leaving.”

He knew very well that Frank was a ferocious beast that he could not afford to provoke. To protect himself, he should cut ties with the Jiang family as soon as possible.

Shaun was in a sorry state right now. Not only was the corner of his mouth broken, but there were still tears on his face, and his eyes were completely red. He glanced at Chloe and turned to leave.

Chloe shouted, “Shaun! Are you going to abandon me just like that?”

Shaun acted as if he did not hear her and continued to walk out quickly.

“Hmm, why did he…”

While everyone was shocked by Shaun’s sudden change, a man with a bruised face walked down the stairs. He was Howie’s intended son-in-law, Joe Ma.

Howie wanted to help Joe, but he was pushed away by him. Joe was outraged and spat out a mouthful of blood. “Get lost!”

Then, Joe staggered and left.

“Who was that man?” Howie looked at Chloe, who was still in shock. He heard that she called him ‘Chairman Yo’ and asked with an ashen look.

“He… He’s the Chairman of Linxia Group, Frank Yo.”

“Then what’s his relationship with Yuna? Is he the sugar daddy that she just hooked up with?” Jiang Hao’s expression became even worse.

Chloe thought for a moment. She remembered that the person who often appeared with Frank was the top-notch actress in the entertainment industry, Luna Bai, even she had to address her as ‘Senior’ respectfully. How did Yuna manage to get on his good book?

When she thought about how Yuna often helped her obtain roles and had meals with various directors and producers, she did have the chance to hook up with the Chairman of Linxia.

Moreover, Frank had always been in close contact with all kinds of artistes in the entertainment industry. He might even like Yuna’s type.

When she thought about the various unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, Chloe gritted her teeth and said, “She was so arrogant. Perhaps she’s hooked up with a new sugar daddy.”

After thinking through this gist, the three blamed this ‘humiliation’ incident on Yuna’s ‘vengeful behavior.’ They could not help but hate her even more.

Chloe thought of Shaun’s series of actions earlier and could not help but shed tears again. “What should I do? Shaun is ignoring me.”

Shaun had always been very respectful and modest in front of the Jiang family. Why had he suddenly changed so much today?

Howie thought of a reasonable explanation. “It must be Yuna. This idiot stirred up troubles in the family.”

Nancy said hatefully, “She’s so young, yet she’s so good at toying with men, Chloe, go and explain it to Shaun. He’ll change his mind.”

Chloe nodded with tears in her eyes. She decided to find Shaun in the evening and tell him that all was because of Yuna.

By the time Yuna woke up, it was already in the evening.

She rubbed her temples and struggled to get up from the bed. The nanny handed her a cup of warm water worriedly. “Madam, do you feel better?”

Yuna looked around and noticed that she was actually in her room in the Crescent Villa. The things that she had prepared to take back from the Jiang family were now neatly placed on the table.

Recalling the moment before she left, Yuna felt a lingering fear, and her mind went blank. Had Nancy drugged her? What had happened after that?

When Yuna went downstairs, she coincidentally bumped into Frank, who had just returned from the company.

Secretary Xiao Chen was walking behind and reporting, “She was indeed very unwilling. She was crying and making a scene, demanding to see you.”

Frank did not take Xiao Chen’s words to heart. When he saw Yuna, he stopped in his tracks and said plainly, “You’re awake?”

Yuna was a little embarrassed and asked sheepishly, “What happened?”

The corners of Frank’s mouth twitched. He ignored her and entered the study.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen explained Frank’s ‘Heroic deeds’ to her enthusiastically, “Chairman Yo noticed that you had not come back for lunch, so he went to the Jiang family to look for you. Oh, just as he entered, the Jiang couple were scheming something with shifty eyes. Then, we controlled them. Chairman Yo found you in the room on the second floor. Who would have thought that the man inside…”

Yuna was stunned when Xiao Chen finished his descriptive speech. She turned and saw Frank sitting on the sofa quietly smoking a cigar. When he saw that Xiao Chen had finally shut up, he said, “Come over and eat.”

Hence, Xiao Chen tactfully left after the nanny served the dishes. Yuna and Frank only had each other in the dining room.

Yuna was a little depressed. She saw that Frank had already started eating elegantly. She hesitated for a while before saying, “Thank you, Frank.”
