Chloe felt a little agitated after meeting her father. Luckily, the construction work in the afternoon had ended, and it wouldn't resume at night to avoid disturbing the guests upstairs while they were resting.
Walking out of Grandex hotel with her pack ag on her back, she raised her wrist to check the time. As she was lost in thought she suddenly remembered that she was so busy that she had forgotten to pick up Audrey. She hailed a taxi, ”Go to Bethel kindergarten, please ”.
On the way to the kindergarten, she called Sandra, the kindergarten's helper “Someone has picked her up?.” She exclaimed while sitting in the taxi.“Who picked her up?”
Sandra's voice could be heard over the phone as she explained nervously.“Mr. Kelvin picked her up. I thought you were on good terms with Aiden's father, and you two often pick up each other's children, so we handed over Audrey to him when he offered to
A high-pitched female voice instantly penetrated Claire's ear. Startled, Claire immediately moved the cell phone slightly away from her ear. “I'm telling you again for the last time. If you don't marry me, I'll bring a lawsuit against you and upload that video online so that everyone will think that you're a shameless sec offender. Don't cry and beg me for mercy when your reputation is destroyed by then!” “Who are you? Are you calling the wrong number?” Claire knitted her brows. “Who am I? Who are you? Where's David? Which seductress are you? Let David answer the phone ”. David? Claire glances at the caller ID with a frown and realized that the caller was someone named Scarlett. Her expression changed at once. “Our cell phones! She instantly recalled how David's cell and hers had
“This prince charming is about to sleep out on the streets right now. Don't you care about me, Chloe?” “What do you mean by sleeping on the streets?” “Just turn around !” Upon hearing this, Chloe subconsciously turned around to look at the Grandex hotel I heard from her yet's the entrance. Standing at the entrance against the background of a large fountain, the young man was dragging his suitcase with a huge cello case on his back. He was staring at her with a huge grin, revealing his white set of teeth His grin was innocent without a trace of impurity. Then, he spread his arm wide and shouted,“ Surprise, Chloe”. Chloe was startled for a moment before smiling almost instantly. Trotting up to him in her 10- centimeters heels, she slapped his shoulders and complained about a smile, “You brat! When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me abou
Aiden frowned with a puzzled look. “Arent you worried that there haven't been any changes in the relationship between my mommy and your daddy after such a long time?” Audrey sat straight on the carpet. She explained,“ I was just pretending, Grandpa Edward told me some time previously that there will only be pressure when there's a competition, so I thought that Zayn's return would certainly put Mr. Kelvin under pressure. Only then will Mr. Kelvin consider taking his relationship with my mommy a step further !”. Aiden kept a straight face as he was unconvinced by her. “Didn't you notice that Mr. Kelvin looked angry just now after seeing Zayn?” Audrey tugged at his sleeve with a smug expression.“I think that Mr. Kelvin must have fallen in love with my mommy a long time ago. We just have to redouble our efforts”. Upon hearing this, Aiden recalled Kelvin's response just now; only then did

“Just turn around ” having heard that, Chloe turned around in response to his words and look towards the main entrance of grandex hotel. With the enormous fountain as the backdrop, a guy was standing in front of the gate while pulling luggage. He was carrying a huge cello case behind his back and was staring at her while wearing a big smile. His smile was so pure and innocent, then he opened his arms and shouted, “surprise!!” Chloe was startled and a smile broke upon her lips almost immediately. She scurried towards on her 10 cm high heel shoes, and landed a slap on his shoulder, smiling while complaining, “Damn, when did you come back? why didn't you remind me earlier?”“I've flown for more than forty hours, and am exhausted now.”“Let's eat together later.” Chloe glimpsed at the time and continued,“I've just finished my bu
The next morning, Chloe was still fast asleep in bed when a commotion starter outside. Soon, Audrey came barging into the room; she was wearing bunny onesie pajamas when she hopped into the bed to take Chloe up. “Mommy, bad news! Something has gone wrong! There are many people outside of our house”. Chloe was bleary-eyed, and she yawned while asking sleepily,“ What is it?”. “They are all holding cameras and they are blocking the entrance to our house”. “What? ” Chloe woke up with a start and sat on the bed abruptly. “ What cameras are you referring to? How many people are they?”. “There are so many of them”. Chloe walked out of the bedroom while still wearing her pajamas. Kelvin seemed to have just been woken up too. He opened the door while still glancing at the main door in confusion. “What happened?”
The car drove straight to the entrance of the diamond estate villa. We've come full circle. I can't believe I'm back here after merely spending a day at home since I left here. Chloe pursed her lips.“President Clifford, you can't be telling me that this is the accommodation that you've arranged for me and Audrey”. “This is it” He replied nonchalantly. The servant from the residence was already shifting the suitcases into the house efficiently; Chloe could do nothing to stop them. “This isn't appropriate ”. “We have a lot of empty rooms, and it doesn't make a difference with you living here. There's always transport to drive Audrey around, and it isn't too far from your place of work as well” Kelvin regarded Chloe while explaining.“Plus, you are not staying for free. You are in charge of breakfast and dinner during weekdays, and you have to prepare three meals during weekends. Ai
Hang on, that doesn't make any sense. Chloe is the first young lady of the Crowther family; how could she possibly end up as somebody's surrogate?” Ariana frowned deeply, struggling as though she was struggling to make sense of everything that the other party had said, “Besides, if it's true that Chloe was a surrogate mother? why does she have a child with her now?”. John Fudd adjusted his spectacles while opening the folder calmly.“According to Nelson, the young woman was in desperate need of money back then and she had approached the owner of a brothel, who had arranged a job for her but she didn't know what she was expected to do, but after she learned the truth she refused but she was stuck in a difficult position that forced her there. Later, Nelson, the butler, observed Chloe in secret until she was due for delivery at the hospital. Then, he sent people to stop her because he was trying to make the best out of a bad bargain. He was even forced get to sign a contr

“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
