Chloe held the paper tightly, as tears fell drenching her lashes.
She took her gaze away from the amount written on the paper, then she looked at the pale complexion of the skin on Andrea's forehead.
Seeing her laid in that critical condition with the machine beeping loudly beside her, sent several thousand pains down her chest.
How could something like this happen to her innocent sister?
Andrea was born muted, growing up she had to face so much ridicule from people around and even her friends.
Life has already been too cruel to her, and now her life is hanging on the line.
While she was still staring at her, the door suddenly slides open, and aunt Jodie barges in, breathing heavily.
With her eyes widen in shock, she asked.
“What?
“what happened
Upon seeing the devices attached to her body, aunt Jodie felt her knees wea
“I know a way you can make fast money ” The lady said, flickering her fingers, with a smirk plastered on her face. Hearing this, Chloe was taken aback by her look of confidence. Could she be of help? She thought within herself, then she put on the mask of ignorance. “What are you talking about? and who are you? Chloe asked, standing up from her chair, to get a proper look at the beautiful lady before her. “What do you know about me, how could you say such a thing about me?’ Chloe continues to ask, and the lady pretended to be listening to her, while she rants on. After listening to her speak for a couple of minutes, the lady put her hands on the cupboard to support her weight. “you can stop pretending already, I know you desperately need the money! ” “And what makes you think so, why are you so sure about this? 
“One night is all you need to make a lot of money to pay for your sister's medical bills, and I'm here to help you with that” Her eerie voice rang out with a scornful tone, which makes her sound like she was proud of helping her out. “And as for your question of why we are here, at a hotel, then, it's simple, this is where we are going to make the money in just one night” She said with a smile, revealing her 82 teeth set of dentition. Looking around, Miss Dragon realized that all attention has been drawn towards them. A sneaky Smith appeared on her face, but she hides it under her makeup. “Come with me, I will get you ready for the job!” With that, she pulled Chloe along with her. While going to the other side of the bar or hotel, whatever it is. Miss Dragon receives a call from an unknown p
“Su-Su-surrogate? Chloe asked with a stuttering tone, and her eyes dilapidated. The weight of his words weighed down on her heavily, which caused her to freeze in shock. “Wh- what are you talking about sir? , what surrogacy? She asked again after a couple of seconds, which seems like forever to her. The heat of the room, with the silence and aura of the man, caused her to shudder in fear. What if this man is one of those animals? What if he forced himself on her? Different thoughts gush through her mind within this space of time. After a brief silence, the man raised his head to look at her. Despite the darkness of the room, he could still see the sorrow that lingers in her eyes. Although that is none of his business, nevertheless, he couldn't help but feel pity for
Flabbergasted by how Chloe reacted to them, Julia couldn't help but draw Maddie's attention to her observations. “Did she just spoke to you in that manner, Maddie? “She literary disrespected you in front of the whole world! , how dare that tramp without any identity do that to you! Julia said with an exaggerated tone, then her gaze darted around to see the people looking at them. But there weren't many people anyway. To cement her thoughts, she went further to instigate Maddie, causing her to feel useless and helpless in front of Chloe. “I can't believe a nobody like her would act so shrew and make you lose face in public! , I think you should tell aunt about this, she might know what to do about her attitude! She said with a tone of finality, then she fixed her eyes on Maddie, who seemed shocked by how Chloe spoke to her.
“I will do it !” The words left Chloe's mouth one after the other, causing the air in the environment to freeze at once. “I'm willing to spend the night with Mr. Donald, in exchange for the money !” She added, trying so hard to stop her voice from yelling out with so. This is never what she varied for, but her dignity is not more important than Andrea's life. When Miss Dragon heard what she said, she sat up hastily, dragging her groggy body to bow to her wishes. She was extremely angry after Chloe made her lose face in front of Mr. Donald. He was such an important client, she had to force herself to drink and after that, she went to sleep early. The sound of her phone bustling woke her up, she had wanted to tell the person disturbing her beauty sleep, but before she could do that, she heard Chloe's eerie and sad voice rang out c
“Will you tell me what had happened to my precious baby!?Matilda asked, shedding crocodile tears, while her gaze was fixed on Julia, who pretended not to have heard her wordsShe wore a straight face, watching Maddie being treated.Then the next few minutes, she heard Matilda asking again. This time with a sad pensive tone and right there she spoke up.“Will you tell me what happened to Maddie! , you were with her all along, right! ? Tell me who did this!She asked rating her tone in an interval, causing Julia to shrink pretentiously.Acting like she was shuddering due to fear, Julia pouted her mouth, then!“Chloe did it, she hurt her!The words left Julia's mouth and hung in the air.The atmosphere in the room was laced with a layer of frost.“She caught up with us at the restaurant and she went ahead to
Pacing around the living room, Matilda has an aggrieved look on her face. While fingers were pressed tightly against the phone, she is holding. Within a splitting second, she flung the phone against the wall and it came shattering down. At that moment, Maddie walked in bearing a smile on her face. When the phone had hit the wall, she clings her body together fearfully. “Mom!, what did you do? Why are you acting so crazy!? Maddie asked with a pouted expression, without getting any answers, she walked up to her and wrapped her hands around Matilda's waist. She drew her into a hug. With outrage, Matilda hugged her back. After a couple of minutes, Matilda disengaged from the hug, still wearing her resentful expression. “Mom, you don't have to look so angry now, we got whatever wanted. I mean I have a 50 percent share of the company's shares!” Maddie said try
“What? surgery? “Are you crazy? do you think this place is some kind of a charity organization that provides for the needy? “If that's what you think, then you are highly mistaken! Miss Dragon asked with anger visible on her face. “That's not what I meant Miss Dragon !” Chloe replied gently, trying to keep her tone down to avoid unnecessary outbursts. This is not the right time to fight with anyone, she needs to be in her senses to handle all the pressure. “Oh! I'm mistaken? Then educate me, ma'am, I'm your student. Go on and tell me what you meant since you claim I'm mistaken! “I was wondering if you could ask the client to pay the advance, the thing is my sister needs to have her surgery done today, and for that to happen I needed to pay the deposit. Please help me out with this!” Chloe said with a pleading tone. Disgusted by her confidence, miss dragon couldn't help but s

“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
