Chapter 118

“He, Joseph, can get remarried. I’ll make sure of it for you. If that scoundrel has it, you deserve it too.”

“If he has a serious illness in his brain, should I have it too? Chloe seethed, her lips curving coldly.

“In brief, I have come to a conclusion. This roster was organized by Jared, my secretary, during the night. All the young.

unmarried, and equal-standing individuals in the nation who are of your age.”

“Be prepared: Starting from next month, there will be five days of activities each week. No need to organize blind dates on Saturdays and Sundays.”

Chloe almost flipped the table. “I don’t give a hoot! I’m not going! No way!”

“You don’t want to go, so you don’t want to keep your position as president anymore?”

F*ck! You sly old fox, how dare you raise the price on the ground like that?!

Chloe was so enraged that her teeth felt like they were itching, and her cheeks were flushed. “Stefan, we had agreed that 1 would assist you in setting up KS WORLD and you would let me be the president of KS. How can you go back on your word?

Aren’t you scared that you won’t be able to maintain your honor?!”

“If I could trade my remaining years for the joy of my daughter’s marriage for the rest of her life, then this small sacrifice of mine is truly insignificant.” Stefan’s expression was one of righteousness.

“I won’t go on a blind date,” Chloe gritted her teeth, “Tll go with whoever I fancy!”

“Then, who do you favor for the role of president?”

“Don’t forget, Stefan narrowed his shrewd eyes, “I still have the final say in Thorp Group.”

Breakfast ended unhappily.

Chloe felt as if she had swallowed a handful of dry, crackling wood that was now lodged in her lungs.

As a child, whenever she was feeling down, she would run to the back garden, hide in the rockery cave and carve obscenities into the stones, or simply cry in the cave.

Now, at twenty-four years old, her habits remained unchanged. She ran to the artificial mountain to sulk once more.

“Little şis! Ha! You really made it here!” With his hands behind his back, Riley bent down and peered into the cave.”

“Do you believe Stefan is retaliating for pilfering his chair?” Chloe inquired indignantly.

“Hmm... Not quite. Dad should be attempting to employ this technique to help you escape the adverse consequences that Joseph has inflicted and begin anew,” Riley coiled his lengthy limbs and settled beside her.

“The way to start a new life is to continuously give me opportunities? It’s true that I am his daughter, but he is a pervert, not me.

Did he think. I, Chloe, won’t be able to live nicely without a man?”

Chloe chucked the pebble in her palm into the pond, creating a few ripples on the surface of the water. “A man is a drag! You got to be with him! Maybe you can get a fifth wife!”

“But you know our dad. He’s vindictive and won’t tolerate any nonsense,”

Riley leaned in close to her ear and whispered. “Do you still recall the movie ‘Star Lord The Culinary God? I reckon our dad is quite like the abbot in it.”

“He declared that if you don’t go on a blind date, he won’t permit you to be the president. I believe he is fully capable of doing that.”

“Then, second brother, what do you reckon we should do now?” Chloe was a bit apprehensive.

“Alright then, how about this: you provide me with a list of names.”

“What? You want to assist me in tackling them one by one?” Chloe’s eyes sparkled.

“I’ll help you vet them one by one. Think of it as a harem selection of concubines – pick the one that looks best and stick with them. You can take the first shot,” Riley said with a hearty chuckle.

“Play all you want!”

Chloe’s almond eyes widened as she clenched her small fists, her knuckles whitening in readiness to punch him.

Her phone rang right then and there..

Joseph’s name was exceptionally striking.

Chloe was in a rage. She snatched up the phone and vented her fury on the man. “What do you mean by calling so early?

Joseph, don’t you have any shame?”

“Have you go out?” Joseph disregarded her irony and inquired apathetically.

“Nol”

“Then come out now.”

The man paused, and his voice was hushed and tranquil. Tm outside your house.”
