Chapter 196 Unintentional Offense
Liora glanced at me smilingly. “It’s a pleasure! I finally have the honor of meeting you, Ms.
Chloe. I heard you’re virtuous and exemplary. I have a lot to learn from you.”
Although she sounded polite, her words had an underlying awkwardness. I was puzzled
but knew she was
far from friendly.
“You’re too kind, Mrs. Liora. I’ll have to rely on your support in the future,” I replied
cautiously. I didn’t need to offend her since it was her family’s event. It was wise to keep a
low profile.
Liora sneered, “Ms, Chloe, you’re being too modest. Who am I to support you? You’re a

don’t have to worry about anyone
harassing you.”

was more to the
Coles then met the eye.
I nodded. “So, I’ve become a pawn in Atticus’s game without even realizing it. He’s clever,
but it’s not for
my sake.”
I chuckled and continued, “If that’s the case, that man is cunning and smooth. He did what

resolved his issues and
gained the crowd’s respect. His one move accomplished four things!
“You’re sharp. So be careful with Liora in the future. This woman holds grudges,” Lauren
warned.
“I never expected my actions to offend that scheming woman,” I sighed, “Is anyone
reasonable these
days? They’re the ones who tried to molest me, but I became the target of resentment
instead.”
I couldn’t help but look at Liora again as she happily chatted with Stella. The two smiled
like they were
long–lost friends. I didn’t know why, but it gave me an inexplicable premonition.
