Furious, she exploded, "You bitch, you did that on purpose!" She lunged to grab Chloe's hair. But Chloe, who had taken self-defense classes, was not easily caught. She purposely dodged left and right, causing Eve to bump into the table and trip over bottles on the ground, ending up in a sorry state.

Helping one would mean offending the other. Besides, Eve was known for being domineering among the Eldridge Elites. They decided to watch the unfold.
It was clear, though, that Eve was no match for Chloe. Although Chloe seemed to be merely dodging, her movements were evidently skilled and even contained a hint of elegance. In contrast, Eve, who was attacking in a frenzy, becincreasingly reckless and even bumped her forehead hard enough to form a large bump.
At that moment, Connor entered. Chloe quickly hid behind him, looking all teary-eyed. "Connor, Ms. Eve seems to have had too much to drink." Her voice was melodious, with a touch of sweetness. The nearby men couldn't help but feel their hearts soften at her words. This only infuriated Eve more. "Witch, since when do you get to call Connor like that? Today, I'm going to tear your mouth apart." Eve charged forward to slap Chloe, but Connor had caught her arm. "Eve, don't go too far." The atmosphere suddenly chilled. Eve trembled with rage. "Connor, didn't you see she was bullying me? Look at my face, and here, here." She pointed to the bump on her forehead and the cut on her knee from the bottle. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Connor led Chloe away. Eve sat on the ground, crying bitterly. Devon, sitting on a couch, shook his head. He had deliberately not intervened when Eve struke. But Eve was no match for Chloe.

Chloe shook her head, clicking her tongue. "Pretty sneaky, aren't you? You couldn't just straight-up end om things with the favorite daughter of a NO well-known family. So, you decided to pin the blonfor canceling the engagement. At the stime, you broke Miss Eve's heart enough to make her give up and stop chasing after you."
The intertwined interests between these prominent families naturally required maintaining a facade. The engagement was already
announced, so if Connor wanted to break it off, he needed someone to take the blame. Chloe naturally was the perfect candidate. This way, even if the Nagel family bad grievances, they would direct their complaint towards her, rather than Connor, the actual man involved. Connor laughed softly, saying nothing. She really was thinking too much.
