Chapter 713
My Wife is a Hacker
âWho is she to you?â
Anna keenly perceived something was not right with his emotions. Lloyd had always been calm and collected, and he would not be trembling a little like this.
A doubtful look soon appeared in her eyes. âCould she be the person youâve been looking for all this while?â
Anna had only briefly heard of her and knew that Lloyd had been looking for her, but she had no idea who she was.
Lloyd did not speak at first, and after a long while, he finally said, âWhether she is or not is no longer important.â Anna closed in to have a look and could not help to quip, âSheâs really pretty, like an elf out from an ice cavern. Her looks are also top-notch in showbiz. Where did you find her?â
There was no shortage of beautiful women in showbiz who were materialist and ambitious like Chloe, but what they lacked was beauty that was immaculate, sharp, and dynamic, so she rated Nicole very highly.
Lloydâs hands suddenly clenched as he quickly put the photo away. He closed his eyes, and his voice no longer had the gaffed tone from earlier. âHelp me go through the script.â Seeing so, Anna did not say much. âOh, alrightâ¦â
She was still, however, curious. âIf I run into Nicole again in the future, I need to take a closer look at her.
Who knows if I can even scout her over!
Chloe went back home sullenly and immediately realized that something was off with the atmosphere at home.
She heard the sound of her mother crying in her room upstairs.
Chloeâs mood was foul, but when she heard her mother crying, she felt something was weird, so she went into the room.
âMom, whatâs wrong?â
Miley had not left her room for two days now. When she recalled how she was slapped the other day, she would burst into tears from time to time. She originally thought that Damien would have mellowed down to look at her. However, it was her baby daughter who came looking for her instead.
Seeing Chloe return home, Miley was even more riled. âMy baby daughter, why are you back today?â
âIâve nothing to do at the set today, so I came back to have a look. Whatâs the matter, Mom? Who made you so sad? â Sensing something was not right, Chloe immediately asked.
Having someone concerned about her, Mileyâs eyes reddened. âIt was your fatherâ¦â
âDad? Why?â Due to Mileyâs relationship with the Rogers family, Damien had always treated her well. So why did he make her feel so aggrieved?â
âItâs all because of Danielâs family. Nicole has managed to hog all of the limelight before your grandpa, so your dad is like a different person now⦠Plus, the Rogers family nowâ¦â Before she could finish, Miley started crying again.
However, now Chloe understood what was going on as she hissed. âMom, donât you worry. I wonât just leave you and dad like that.â Chloe thought, âThe whole reason Nicole is hogging the limelight now is that Jared is the one behind supporting her.
âIf I can snatch Jared for myself, who will dare to look down on me then?â âYou have a way?â Miley looked up with anticipation. Chloe said with certainty, âOf course, isnât grandpa favoring Nicole because she has Jared Johnston behind her? Iâll be going over to the Johnston Group to film the ambassadorship stuff in a few daysâ time. And once I get my hands on Jared⦠thereâll be nothing left for Nicole.
She was one of the four beauties of showbiz and was one of the hottest female stars this year, She refused to believe she was any lesser than Nicole! âWhen Jared learns of my charms, he will definitely toss Nicole aside!â
