Chapter 755 Chloe Has a More Justified Stance

"Get lost before I lose my temper. And stop embarrassing your father," Chloe retorted, her

demeanor cold as ice.

Ophelia chuckled tauntingly, "You're so naive. I'm the delicate flower your father has pampered for

over twenty years. Do you really think he'll take your side? That’s never going to happen."

Chloe's jaw tightened as she picked up the wine glass from the table and splashed its contents on

Ophelia.

Ophelia froze for a moment, her eyes narrowing with anger as she looked down at her expensive

dress now stained with wine. "How dare you splash wine on me!"

Were commoners not supposed to be subservient and obedient? How was this woman so

audacious? Does her father secretly support her from behind?

"What else am I supposed to do? Tolerate you?" Chloe's voice remained composed. She stood tall,

exuding an unwavering aura. "Is it standard practice for royals to cause trouble at other’s

engagement banquet?”

Ophelia felt her throat tightening, unable to refute yet unwilling to back down. "Your mother was the

one who was a mistress. Why are you blaming me?"

She knew full well that an engagement banquet only happened once in a lifetime. Under normal

circumstances, she should not ruin it with ill intentions. But the person in question was Chloe, the

daughter of a mistress!

"I'm two years older than you, correct? When your father met my mother, you weren’t even born yet.

Maybe your mother was the mistress.”

"You're spouting nonsense! My mother is a dignified princess! She’d never do such a thing!"

Chloe retorted in an equally aggressive manner, deliberately choosing unpleasant words, "These

are the facts, and it doesn't matter what you say. In terms of seniority, you still have to acknowledge

me as your big sister."

Ophelia's taunting came to an abrupt halt as she broke down, bursting into tears. The realization

that Chloe was her elder sister was humiliating. She found herself unable to continue the argument

as it became clear that Chloe had a more justified stance.

Callum and Kenneth rushed over to Ophelia's side when they heard the commotion. Upon seeing

the red wine stains on Ophelia's dress, Callum's expression fell, but he did not say anything.

However, Kenneth exploded with anger "What's going on?! Did you bully my sister, Chloe?! You

crazy woman! If you have issues, go see a doctor. Don't take it out on Leah. You're not worthy!"

"Ken," Callum scolded gently as he frowned, "Watch your words. Don't jump to conclusions before

understanding the whole situation."

"Are you taking her side, Dad? Did she drug you or something?" Kenneth could not believe it. His

father, who had always doted on his sister, seemed to have changed.

"Chloe has always been a gentle person. She wouldn't act impulsively unless provoked."

Noah had been drinking quite a bit. He appeared a little tipsy and his eyes had a tinge of redness

around them. He looked harmless, but the coldness in his eyes sent shivers down one's spine.

Pausing for a moment, he softened his tone and said to Chloe, "Leave this to me. Go on upstairs."

"There’s no need, I—"

"Listen to Noah, Chloe,” Desmond urged. Through his eyes, he implied that she should not act

recklessly.

Chloe hesitated for a moment but finally nodded. "Okay." They were doing this for her own good,

and she trusted that neither of them would harm her. She decided to follow their advice.

As she turned around, the crowd automatically made way for her. She took a deep breath and

apologized to everyone before making her way to a less crowded spot. However, the sounds of fast

but steady footsteps reached her ears from behind.

Chloe raised an eyebrow but did not turn to look. "When did the finance tycoon decide to become a

sneaky thief?" she quipped.

"I became a thief willingly," Joseph whispered into Chloe's ear, embracing her tightly. His beautiful

thin lips pressed against her delicate skin as he teasingly said, "After all, it’d be troublesome if Noah

found out about our one-night affair, right?"

“You seem quite clear about our status, knowing it was just a one-night affair. Yet, you still came

looking for me?"

"I’m here to pass you some medicine."

"What medicine?"

"I saw your medical report that states you’re having some swelling," replied Joseph. He stared at

her with his deep eyes, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
