“I have something to do. I’ll return to the company tomorrow afternoon.”
After hanging up the phone, Kelvin stepped on the accelerator and went directly to the highway.
It was already evening. Cape Town was two hundred kilometers away from Rave city, Kelvin did not stop the car all the way and after more than two hours, he arrived at the hospital.
When he just arrived at the door of the ward, he heard Chloe’s screams coming from inside.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!”
Without even thinking, Kelvin immediately opened the door and rushed in.On the hospital bed, the man with gauze on his head wrapped Chloe’s waist with his hands. Although he was having a gauze, one could still see that he looked quite handsome. Chloe struggled out but he surprisingly jumped off the bed and reached out towards Chloe again.
Chloe’s face flushed red, “You…” “Tell me. What have I done to you?” Kelvin walked towards Chloe without any changes in his facial expression. He stared at Chloe and said, “Perhaps you should demonstrate what I have done. I don’t mind.” Chloe got panic and drew back from Kelvin. Her calf hit the couch, and she fell backward out of imbalance, so she quickly grasped on whatever was nearest to her at that moment. Chloe noticed what she grasped was Kelvin's collar almost immediately. She got ready to push himaway the minute she fell on the floor but… The thunder roared in the sky of the night. At the same time, the room went dark after some buzzing sound. Chloe shouted out of surprise. She ran into Kelvin’s arm and shivered. The noise of people asking around came from outside
As they were playing the cards, the girl who was Chloe’s comrade and was sitting opposite her quickly got what she meant. “One two.” Chloe’s eyes gleamed and she was ready to use the only card left in her hand. A deep voice was suddenly heard. “Big joker.” With a composed look, Kelvin looked towards her. “It’s your turn.” Chloe pouted and forced back her uncomfortable feeling. She replied with an unnatural tone, “No, thanks.” He used his big joker to suppress the two, it was obvious he knew what card she wanted to play and did that on purpose! The situation remained the same several rounds later. Chloe could not use any of the good cards she had as she was forbidden by Kelvin’s cards. “Yay! We win again! You’re awesome, mister.” The girl who partnered with Kelvin seemed to be only age around eighteen years old and she looked like a college student. She was excited in cal
The light was not switched on in the room. Chloe could only see a shadow sitting on the couch from the light shined from outside when she pushed the door open. Kelvin was holding a cigarette between his fingers. He took a puff and the smoke faded into the darkness. She closed the door in hesitance and headed towards the couch. “Why did you leave so suddenly? Is it because you don’t like the wontons?” “Yes.” Kelvin gave a curt reply and it had stopped her from asking questions that she wanted to ask. Chloe waved her hand gently to try to dissipate the cloud of smoke. Although she had been holding her breath, she still could not help but cough. Kelvin’s expression froze and he stopped smoking for a few seconds.He then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, and opened the window a little to let the cold wind enter. It was raining outside the window and the stuffiness of the room was gradually alleviated
Chloe felt incompetent to refuse again. After giving her WeChat for verification, the boss lady then gave a big joyful smile. How could someone think of her being the one who cheated on the Clifford family and took away the fortune? Chloe was puzzled, but she still managed to hold off her curiosity. “I’ll be off then.” Chloe served the noodles out of the pot, added some toppings, and nodded politely at the boss lady. After going upstairs and just set aside the noodles, Kelvin then came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bathrobe. His hair was still dripping wet onto his neck, and the bathroom doorway was full of water stains. Chloe slightly felt tightness in her throat. She pulled herself together after a while and gave out a dry cough, “Have some noodles. I make them myself in the kitchen.” &nb
Kelvin Clifford concentrated and held the steering wheel tight, saying out, “Mind your own business.” Chloe Crowther could tell that he was displeased. They reached Rave city after two and a half hours. Kelvin had a meeting in the afternoon. He made a call to Dave on the way and then sent Chloe to the entrance of the hospital. Dave had been waiting for them for a long time when they reached there. “Mr. Clifford, Ms. Crowther.” Dave stood in front of the car and greeted Kelvin and Chloe. Then he mentioned the patient who was transferred to that hospital, “The patient from Cape Town has been arranged for hospitalization. But the hospital recommended to discharge him for treatment. He was being not cooperative and causing trouble during the transfer. He was then sent here after giving him a shot of sedation. Be careful, Ms. Crowther, when seeing him la
Chloe was stunned and verified, “You said that your name is Victor?” The youth raised his head from under the blanket and his face was pale. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat and struggled to nod, “Yeah.” “What’s your last name?” Chloe asked. The youth shook his head. “Forget it, don’t think about it now.” Chloe patted his shoulders as she was worried that he would be hurt if he was to recall something suddenly and she continued, “So you’re Benjamin, at least there is a name now. I’ll try to find your family.” If Victor was a student at the University campus, then it’ll be a problem because it was near to the summer holidays and the University would hardly notice if anyone was missing. She could only investigate on her own. A week later… The Bethel royal Kindergarten officially w
Kelvin became more relieved after Dave pulled Victor away. He looked at Chloe and said, “Let’s go, you’re not his mother. Dave will take good care of him.” Chloe came to her senses, looked into the room, and then rubbed her nose and smiled awkwardly, “It’s a habit. Victor is about the same age as Zayn. I miss my brother and that’s why I felt like caring for him. Perhaps others will find this strange.” It was better that she didn’t mention Zayn but once she did, Kelvin’s expression turned even darker. “Do you treat brothers and sisters as trash that you can pick up anywhere?” Kelvin scoffed. “Trash?” Chloe glared at him and demanded, “What trash? I accidentally hit Victor, how many times must I say this?” “Then what about Zayn?” Kelvin glared at her and continued, “Was he hit by you as well? Looks like you are fearless since young. To thi
Chapter 112 Ariana looked like she was anticipating such a reaction from her, and she let out a snort, “What’s that? You shameless third wheel, are you saying that a victim doesn’t have her right to voice her opinions? It would be best if Kelvin canur despicable face while he is probably thinking that you are capable and virtuous. He must be thinking that you want to become the stepmother to his son willingly! You have an illegitimate child whose father is unknown, yet you have set your eyes on somebody else’s fiancée. It is an understatement to label you as a shameless woman.” “Ms. Blake.” Chloe suddenly look a step towards Ariana and her face was darkened, “Let me warn you to watch your mouth. Do you understand human language?” Ariana was intimidated by the cold light in Chloe’s eyes. She couldn’t help taking a step back while forcing herself to respond, “What are you doing? Are you

“What do you think? You think you can hide things from me and I won't find out?” Kelvin asked from behind and Chloe turn back to see him standing behind them with a file in his hands. His expression was darkened and the looks in his eyes were deadly. Seeing this sight, Davina quickly stood up from her seat and nodded at Chloe before she took a step away from there. “I'll leave you two alone,” She said as she walked out of the restaurant, leaving the two of them alone. Chloe was quivering. However, she managed to say, “Mr...Clifford?” Without saying a word, Kelvin came forward and took hold of her hand, and dragged her out of the restaurant. He took her to the car, he sent the driver out and drove the car himself. He drove the car like he was on a death mission. The sp
A few days later, Javier was still recuperating at the hospital, while Chloe was watching over him. She came out of the room to go in search of food. Just then, her eyes fell on the figure of a familiar person. “Audrey hasn’t eaten yet. You take her out to have something to eat.” Chloe entrusted Audrey to Victor, “I have an appointment with someone and I’ll be back later.” “Okay.” Victor nodded, “Chloe, who are you meeting?” Chloe paused for a moment, “Davina” In an open-air café on City Road, the iron tables and chairs had a strong French feel. The maple leaves on thebranches in early autumn overhead showed that the weather in Rave city was getting cold gradually. &
A few months later, Chloe had just returned home from the company after the day's work. The past few weeks have been a tough one for her as she had to watch over the VIP at the hotel, on top of that she got into many fights with Kelvin unprovoked. During one of the fights, she had said hurtful things to him. She even went as far as telling him off about not being interested in getting married to a person like him ahi k had greatly angered Kelvin–due to this, he has been keeping his distance from her the entire time. Both Aiden and Audrey tried to bring them back together but it wasn't working out either. Claire was not at home when she came back, while Audrey was in her room working on her homework. when she saw Chloe at the door, she shrugged her shoulders and continued working. Chloe exhaled as she went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. As soon as she set the ingredients on the table, her phone suddenly rang as she quickly wiped her hands on the apron before
After tossing and turning all night, Chloe woke up at dawn the next morning. On the sofa, David was woken up by a rustling sound. He sleepily took his watch from the coffee table. “It’s only five o’clock, so early?” Chloe took her bag and prepared to go out. She looked so calm as if nothing had happened last night. “I’m going to work early. By the way, you can sleep in the guest room now.” David nodded dazedly and went to the bedroom while hugging his pillow. But when he turned, he went in the wrong direction and had entered the master bedroom. Chloe did not call him and just secretly smiled. Then, she left Claire’s house. Kelvin’s matter indeed dealt a big blow to her but she still had to continue working. She still had to plan the matter of letting her son return
David instantly shut his mouth. His voice abruptly stopped. Chloe looked back at David and her face did not look good. They were even childhood friends. Claire was livid. “You surprisingly really know. Continue saying.” Looking at the situation, if David did not say everything honestly, he would be blamed together with Kelvin. After weighing the pros and cons, David chose to temporarily switch sides. “Davina is the English name. Her name is Addison Ramirez. The Ramirez family, my family, and the Clifford family have been friends for generations. I, Kelvin, her eldest brother and, her second eldest brother are similar in age so we often play together as a child. But Kelvin is more withdrawn and he doesn’t love to bother us. Addison is young and we don’t love to take
“Listen up everyone, the president of LG Travel Agency is going to inspect our hotel this afternoon. Make sure nothing goes wrong even the tiniest details, got it?” “Got it.” Chloe just finished her all-hands meeting in the meeting room at Grandex Hotel. The headquarters took up a long-term partnership with a prestigious travel agency LG, everything else was done, what was left was the on-site inspection. The agency chose Chloe’s hotel for the inspection. As soon as the inspection passed, the contract of long-term partnership would be signed. After that, all LG Agency’s customers traveling to East China would be arranged to stay at Grandex Hotel. In the afternoon, under the scorching sun, the management team of the hotel stood at the doorway waiting for the inspection team. &nb
Surrogate 144 “This one.” David took a look around and pointed at the largest piece at the center, “I’ll take that one.” One could tell from the expression of the onlooking shop workers, that the piece was pricey. The shop owner was sophisticated enough to stay calm and asked, “Do you have any specific inquiries? Or you can give us your design if you have one.” “Not much, just one thing. It has to be special and match the vibe.” “What kind of vibe?” A worker asked cautiously. Closing his eyes, David pondered for a while and said, “Hot and spicy.” The worker twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Kelvin as if asking for help. Frowning, Kelvin stepped sideways and put on an aloof look. &
There was dead silence in the conference room. Maddie could barely stand, holding the corner of the table and trembling. She was overwhelmed with shame and rage, wishing to have Chloe murdered. She couldn’t believe that Chloe had filmed these unpleasant scenes and also showed them to Zayn. Chloe used such a trick to threaten her, ruining her only chance to be together with Zayn. “So, do you read or not?” After a long moment, Maddie gritted her teeth, “I’ll read it.” Before leaving the conference room, Chloe unplugged the USB flash drive and brushed it off, “Besides, please let the Twilight Media and also your internet water armies delete all those nonsensical remarks from the internet. Otherwise, you bear your consequences.” &nbs
