Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Oscar’s deep eyes narrowed as he looked at Chloe His little sister was an unbridled opportunist who disregarded the rules and saw them as a hindrance to progress.

Given the opportunity, she would take advantage of it to gain the upper hand, create something of greater worth, and surprise her adversary!

Yates was dumbfounded, never having anticipated that Chloe would pose such a question.

“Looking at your expression,” Chloe said coldly, “you must know.”

“L. I know...”

Yates gulped and spoke with a quavering tone, “That kid... is mine and Grace’s...”

Thorp Group and his sister were both astonished!

Clenching her small hands in excitement, Chloe realized that her hard work had paid off she had earned a lot!

“What exactly transpired? Give me the full story,” Oscar demanded in a frosty tone “I used to be a coach at Nialzuct’s high-end gym. When I was giving Grace private lessons, we got to know each other... We grew closer and closer. She was really attractive, flirty, and she made the first move to seduce me. Eventually... we got together...

“Continue,” Chloe said, her eyebrows raised in interest “But we had an unspoken agreement about this relationship. We were aware that we were just sexual partners, just having fun.

Grace never lacked male attention, and I was just one of them.”

“Later, we had unprotected sex, and then she was in high spirits. I didn’t take any precautions Even though she took contraceptive pills afterwards, that wasn’t completely safe. Not long after, she discovered she was pregnant...”

Chloe blinked her eyes in disbelief. Damn, Grace had actually taken drugs. The further she delved, the more surprises she uncovered!

“Given Grace’s ruthless nature, it’s clear that this child cannot be kept. How can she still be brought into the world?”

She declared that she was born frail and physically weak. After an abortion, there was no chance of having a baby... She stated that no affluent family would accept a daughter-in-law who was unable to bear a child, so she had no choice but to accept her fate and give birth to the child...

As he said this, Yates couldn’t help but tease Grace, “She’s got some serious skills in the bedroom I didn’t see any weaknesses at all.

Chloe had always shied away from discussing about a child, and the man’s words painfully prodded her wound.

But she quickly adjusted her mood and inquired in a low tone. “Where is that child now?”

“I only know that in Nialzuct’s orphanage, she is now more than two or three years old. She’s a girl... Apart from that, I don’t know anything else!”

Yates, heartless and having never seen his daughter, racked his brains to come up with a way to hide it, but unfortunately he could only provide this information.

“Heh, people like you can actually be parents? That’s an insult to all the parents out there!”

“That’s your kid! How can you just discard her like garbage and turn a blind eye to her?” Oscar was so enraged he couldn’t take it anymore and yelled out.

“I didn’t completely ignore it. I heard that Grace’s mother has been covertly keeping tabs on my daughter’s activities!”

“After all, Grace’s mother had taken away the child after it was born! She must know where my daughter is!” Yates was so tormented that he gave away a crucial piece of information.

Chloe’s bright eyes shifted, and she resolutely turned to face her big brother.

Oscar and his sister gazed at each other, their hearts connected, all in silence.

The door to the basement opened and a bodyguard rushed in, carrying Yates’ mobile phone.

“Ma’am, there’s an incoming call”

Chloe grabbed the phone, glanced at the display and inquired icily. “Ashley, who is that?”

Yates shivered and gulped, his throat thick with mucus. “It’s... Grace...”

“When you get it, let her know.”

Chloe bent down and stretched out the phone in front of him, her eyes as sharp as a knife. “Don’t mess around. Don’t talk rubbish. Just act like nothing happened and don’t tip off the enemy.”

Yates nodded frantically, as docile as a canine.

“Hey, Ashley. What brings you looking for me so late in the evening? Did you miss me?”

“Be quiet.”

Grace paused and asked in a hushed tone. “You haven’t caused me any grief lately, have you? I told you not to act impulsively and wait for my instructions. You didn’t meddle with me, correct?”

Yates could only grit his teeth and reply. “No, you didn’t say anything. I definitely can’t act impulsively Chloe lowered her long eyelashes, her lips curving into a cold smile.

Yates had acted of his own accord, launching a private assault on her, thus creating the situation.

Presumably, this man needing money urgently, wanted to get rid of her quickly, so he could take her head to Grace for the reward Tsk, what an idiotic teammate.

“Regarding Chloe, don’t art on her yet. Await my update.”

Grace’s voice is captivating and alluring, with a hint of self-satisfaction. “The circumstances have greatly improved. I have, regained Joseph’s confidence. He has been accompanying me for the past few days.”

“Furthermore, Director Sawle has consented to our nuptials. We should be betrothed shortly”

Engagement?!

Oscar’s brows furrowed in worry as he gazed at his younger sister.

Chloe, on the other hand, had an attitude that was of no concern to him; lier crescent eyes narrowing and a yawn escaping. her lips.

Oscar’s thin lips curled up slightly in relief as he saw that his younger sister didn’t seem to care much.

“Then, so you and Joseph have already agreed. The 700 thousand dollars..”

“Tsk, what are you in such a hurry for!”

Grace’s tone was extremely impatient. That sum of money doesn’t have to rush you like this? I’ll give you seventy thousand.

dollars first. You can spend it first. When Mr. Sawle and I are settled, I’ll transfer the rest of the money to you after the engagement ceremony.”

“Then Chlo... Chloe, do I still need to lay a hand on her?

“Concerning her. Just give her a lesson.”

“She caused me such anguish. I wish for her to experience perpetual agony for the remainder of her life. Even if I can’t disable her.... I want her visage to be disfigured” Grace spoke in a lethargic yet malevolent manter.

The call ended.

Grace’s vicious words had Yates scared stiff, like an inverted popsicle.

Chloe, however, remained calm and confident, her psychological quality truly impressive.

“Nicely done, rest. I’ll come back to you if I need it”

Chloe’s mobile phone rang at that moment, and it was Jordan calling.

Turning to answer the call, she walked out of the underground room.

As soon as Chloe departed, the dismal atmosphere seemed to plummet to an icy chill.

Yates’ eyes widened in horror as he watched Oscar, exuding an air of coldness and hostility from hell, stride in front of him.

The man’s noble figure slowly lowered as his eyes closed slightly A silver cross, shining with a cold light, dropped out of his suit jacket, swaying before his eyes like a sharp sword poised to cut off his head in the next second!

Oscar hadn’t done a thing, yet Yates was already petrified, as if he had beheld the Grim Reaper brandishing a scythe.

“My sister’s arm was injured because of you,” Oscar said, his mouth slightly agape and his eyes red.

“L. I apologize...”

Oscar shook his head, slowly closed his eyes, and earnestly prayed, “Oh gracious Lord, forgive my transgressions. All I did wak for the one I love.”

As his voice trailed off, Yates saw a silver light flicker before him!

A scream echoed instantly in the basement.

Oscar used the cross in his hand to neatly sever the tendons in his hand.

On the empty field.

Jordan waited alone in the cold, biting wind, his handsome face haggard and pale, as if the wind could blow him away.

“Jordan, why are you here?” Chloe noticed his face was really troubled and quickly came over to ask, worried!

Jordan stared at Chloe, his red eyes filled with sorrow, and his voice trembling as he said:

“Young Miss, I apologize...”
