Chapter 755 Chloe Has a More Justified Stance
"Get lost before | lose my temper. And stop embarrassing your father," Chloe retorted, her demeanor cold as ice.
Ophelia chuckled tauntingly, "You're so naive. I'm the delicate flower your father has pampered for over twenty
years. Do you really think he'll take your side? That's never going to happen."
Chloe's jaw tightened as she picked up the wine glass from the table and splashed its contents on Ophelia.
Ophelia froze for a moment, her eyes narrowing with anger as she looked down at her expensive dress now
stained with wine. "How dare you splash wine on me!"
Were commoners not supposed to be subservient and obedient? How was this woman so audacious? Does her
father secretly support her from behind?
"What else am | supposed to do? Tolerate you?" Chloe's voice remained composed. She stood tall, exuding an
unwavering aura. "Is it standard practice for royals to cause trouble at other's engagement banquet?”
Ophelia felt her throat tightening, unable to refute yet unwilling to back down. "Your mother was the one who
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas a mistress. Why are you blaming me?"
She knew full well that an engagement banquet only happened once in a lifetime. Under normal circumstances,
she should not ruin it with ill intentions. But the person in question was Chloe, the daughter of a mistress!
"I'm two years older than you, correct? When your father met my mother, you weren't even born yet. Maybe
your mother was the mistress.”
"You're spouting nonsense! My mother is a dignified princess! She'd never do such a thing!"
Chloe retorted in an equally aggressive manner, deliberately choosing unpleasant words, "These are the facts,
and it doesn't matter what you say. In terms of seniority, you still have to acknowledgeas your big sister."
Ophelia's taunting cto an abrupt halt as she broke down, bursting into tears. The realization that Chloe was
her elder sister was humiliating. She found herself unable to continue the argument as it becclear that
Chloe had a more justified stance.
Callum and Kenneth rushed over to Ophelia's side when they heard the commotion. Upon seeing the red wine
stains on Ophelia's dress, Callum's expression fell, but he did not say anything.
However, Kenneth exploded with anger "What's going on?! Did you bully my sister, Chloe?! You crazy woman! If
you have issues, go see a doctor. Don't take it out on Leah. You're not worthy!"
"Ken," Callum scolded gently as he frowned, "Watch your words. Don't jump to conclusions before understanding
the whole situation."
"Are you taking her side, Dad? Did she drug you or something?" Kenneth could not believe it. His father, who had
always doted on his sister, seemed to have changed.
"Chloe has always been a gentle person. She wouldn't act impulsively unless provoked."
Noah had been drinking quite a bit. He appeared a little tipsy and his eyes had a tinge of redness around them.
He looked harmless, but the coldness in his eyes sent shivers down one's spine.
Pausing for a moment, he softened his tone and said to Chloe, "Leave this to me. Go on upstairs."
"There's no need, I—"
"Listen to Noah, Chloe,” Desmond urged. Through his eyes, he implied that she should not act recklessly.
Chloe hesitated for a moment but finally nodded. "Okay." They were doing this for her own good, and she trusted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat neither of them would harm her. She decided to follow their advice.
As she turned around, the crowd automatically made way for her. She took a deep breath and apologized to
everyone before making her way to a less crowded spot. However, the sounds of fast but steady footsteps
reached her ears from behind.
Chloe raised an eyebrow but did not turn to look. "When did the finance tycoon decide to beca sneaky
thief?" she quipped.
"I beca thief willingly," Joseph whispered into Chloe's ear, embracing her tightly. His beautiful thin lips
pressed against her delicate skin as he teasingly said, "After all, it'd be troublesif Noah found out about our
one-night affair, right?"
“You seem quite clear about our status, knowing it was just a one-night affair. Yet, you still clooking for me?"
"I'm here to pass you smedicine."
"What medicine?"
"I saw your medical report that states you're having sswelling," replied Joseph. He stared at her with his
deep eyes, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
