+15 BONOS However, anyone who could marry into the Whitman family was certainly no ordinary individual, so he felt there was no need for further investigation.
âPleasure to meet you, Mr. Desmond. Iâm Chloe Johnson,â Chloe greeted Desmond calmly and confidently.
Desmond found her composure comforting and gestured for her to take a seat and enjoy a cup of tea.
Unaware of his intentions, Chloe elegantly raised the teacup to her lips and took a sip, relishing the lingering fragrance and the exquisite taste. Although she knew little about tea, she could tell it was of the finest quality.

âSo, you are married to Haroldâs eldest grandson?â Desmond asked.
Chloeâs face twitched slightly. âIâ¦I am.â
He paused for a moment, then smiled kindly. âItâs normal for young couples to have arguments.
Joseph is a remarkable talent of his generation. Heâs worthy of your trust.â
Chloe could not argue with him and nodded awkwardly in agreement.
For the next half hour, Desmond engaged Chloe in casual conversation, discussing various topics.
By the time she left the room, her head was spinning. Do all these big shots have so much free time? Should they not be utilizing their time for business matters rather than indulging in small talk with an insignificant figure like me?â
Noahâs gaze followed Chloeâs departure from the room, and he lowered his eyes as he said to Desmond, âI donât think Joseph is suitable for her.â
Since the banquet was about to start, Chloe headed to the restroom where she bumped into Ava.
Encountering Ava here, Chloe could not help but doubt the validity of Josephâs words.
âDidnât Joseph say that all the guests here are worth billions of dollars?â Chloe questioned herself, skeptical of Avaâs ability to achieve such a status.
âYou wretched woman. How dare you appear before me!â Ava shouted, her voice piercing through the air. The haunting memories of her encounters at the bar flooded her mind, intensifying her anger to its limits. Swiftly and without hesitation, she raised her hand and delivered a resounding +15 BONOS With the wall behind her, Chloe had no room to retreat. Despite her swift reflexes, her cheek still suffered a scratch from Avaâs long fingernails. Thankfully, it did not draw blood.
âHave you gone mad?!â Chloe exclaimed.
âIâm not the one whoâs mad, but you can be,â Ava retorted.
It would be best if Chloe transformed into a disheveled madwoman, someone whom everyone would despise. That way, she would be the center of attention tonight. A sinister gleam flickered in Avaâs eyes as she shifted her strategy. Determined to ruin Chloeâs appearance, she reached out in an attempt to grab her hair.
Chloe winced in pain as Ava forcefully yanked her hair, pulling out several strands. The searing pain made her inhale sharply, and her anger surged like wildfire. Being a woman who valued her beauty and image, Chloe knew she could not allow someone to lay their hands on her without fighting back.
In a defiant display, she flung her purse to the floor and gripped Ava tightly, forcefully ripping off Avaâs false eyelashes.
âAh! My eyes!â Ava cried out in distress, âScrew you, Chloe!â
When Joseph and his group heard the commotion and rushed over, the two women were locked in a tangled mess, their hair disheveled and their makeup smudged. It was clear that Ava was at a disadvantage, with Chloe straddling her, asserting her dominance.
In the presence of influential figures from various industries, the sight of such a scene was both comical and embarrassing. Surrounded by a crowd of spectators, Ava felt her reputation crumbling before her eyes. Her mind raced, desperately searching for a solution.
Suddenly, an idea took shape in her mind. Under the scrutinizing gazes of the onlookers, she slowly rose to her feet, her sobs uncontrollable as she knelt before Chloe.
âStop it! Stop! Please donât hit me anymore. Please stop bullying me. From now on, Iâll listen to everything you say. If I see you, Iâll take a different path and never hinder you again,â she pleaded, her voice filled with desperation.
Calvin was the first to explode in anger. His stern face turned crimson with fury as he fixed a fierce gaze upon Chloe. âAre you bullying Ava again?!â
