944 Words
“Hmph! How was it different? Shameless woman! Holland, what are you thinking? Why haven’t you divorced her yet?” Zayn sneered.
“Divorce is very troublesome. Besides, it’s hard to explain to the old master.” When Holland spoke, there was an unreadable expression in his eyes.
“Alright, let’s get together and talk about something fun.” As Gerald said this, his eyes sent a signal to Zayn to stop talking.
Zayn was helpless, but his face was still sullen!
The main hall was bustling with noise and excitement. Most of the guests were the Paxley family’s close friends and family. Chloe did not bother to greet them and left immediately. After all, she did not even have the mood to wish Norman a happy birthday.
In the past, to balance the three sons left behind by his late wife, Norman had forced Anastasia to marry Chloe into his company through a business marriage. In the end, when Anastasia’s company indeed got into trouble, Norman did not care at all.
Except for Holland’s brothers, Chloe didn’t care about anyone else. It was just that when she was going up the stairs with her head lowered, she didn’t notice that she had fallen into a trap. She only felt that her foot had been tripped by someone. When she looked up, she saw a cake rolling down with her.
“Hiss!” Chloe felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She looked up and saw Lolita standing on the stairs with a panicked expression. Of course, she also saw the smug look on her face!
“Sister-in-law...”
“Lolita, I know you don’t like me, but you can’t throw a cake at me! I did accidentally trip you last time, but I’ve already apologized. Even if you’re still angry, you can’t be so unreasonable at my father-in-law’s birthday party!” Seeing that the other party was about to speak, Chloe quickly stopped her. Otherwise, the other party would precisely act aggrieved and pitiful again. That was Lolita’s specialty!
She, Chloe, was not a good-tempered person. In the past, she didn’t care about Holland, so she naturally didn’t care about anything around him. But now, it was different. She was full of guilt for Holland, and she also felt a trace of love. She would never give others a chance.
At this time, the people in the living room surrounded her. Chloe instantly choked up and said, “I know you like Holland. Even if you seduced him openly, I didn’t say anything because of your status. But how could you hurt me so badly?”
“You!” Lolita was speechless. According to her plan, Chloe should have deliberately caused trouble at Norman’s birthday banquet and pushed her on purpose. In the end, she had fallen. When she saw that Chloe was preparing to go upstairs, she was already prepared. According to Chloe’s previous lazy-to-explain personality, she would distinctly admit it this time, right?
In the end, by the time Lolita reacted, she had already missed the best time to argue. Holland and his two brothers had also walked over. Someone in the hall also reached out to help up Chloe, who had fallen to the ground and was covered in cake and cream.
Lolita looked at Chloe’s aggrieved face as the latter stretched out her red and swollen ankle. She complained to Holland in a sweet voice, “Hubby, your sister, Lolita, threw a cake at me and even pushed me.”
“What’s going on?” Holland reached out to support Chloe. A pair of calm eyes looked at Lolita, but it seemed to be mixed with anger.
“No… I was carrying the cake downstairs, but for some reason, Sister-in-law Chloe suddenly bumped into me. My hand trembled, and she rolled down with the cake!” Lolita’s expression was still filled with panic and shock. She hurriedly ran down and grabbed Chloe’s hand. “Sister-in-law Chloe, why are you doing this?”
Chloe saw how she handled the situation with ease and sighed in her heart. With such good acting skills, it was a pity that she didn’t become an actress.
“That’s right, Third Sister-in-law, why did you hit Sister Lolita!” A familiar yet youthful female voice was heard. It was Norman’s favorite daughter, Esther.
Chloe squinted her eyes slightly. “Esther, you weren’t here just now. Why are you so sure that I hit Lolita? Or, is it that the two of you have joined forces to frame me? Why did you follow an outsider to frame me?” After saying that, Chloe leaned slightly into Holland’s arms, but Holland seemed to dislike the cream and directly retreated?! Chloe stretched out her hand and pulled him back. This cake fell on her because of his rotten luck in romance, so why should he dodge?
Holland was stunned by her actions, but he didn’t do anything else.
“Besides, my foot is so swollen. Who doesn’t know that I’ll get hurt if I fight on the stairs? Why would I do such a thing? Your third brother and I are already preparing for pregnancy. We might even be pregnant now. How could I joke about my child?” Chloe leaned into Holland’s arms and touched her belly as if she was careful.
Everyone was stunned. Didn’t they say that Chloe liked someone else? She had caused a lot of trouble for Holland, but now the two of them were quickly preparing for pregnancy?
It wasn’t just the others, even Holland couldn’t help but be stunned. He lowered his head and looked at Chloe. His expression was unreadable.
