Chapter 106: Settled
When Donovan mentioned "cool lotus root slices and garlic sprouts stir-fried with pork" just now, Chloe's mind wandered.
There was another person whoSomeone else liked thoese two dishes.
Tomorrow, Chloe didn't tell Donovan that she was planning to visit that person tomorrow, but she didn't tell Donovan.
After arriving at the company, Chloe transferred $300,000 to Brayden. She haddidn't spentd any of the $1 million she received from Donovan last time for to buying a computer.
Then, she sent Brayden back the book "CPA and Life" and the financial management notes he had giaven her, indicating that they were even.
She sent Donovan the transfer records and the courier receipt on WhatsApp, with two words: [It’s sSettled].
Donovan responded with one word: [Okay].
Although there was no "unsettled" situation between her and Brayden before, this time, "settled" represented Chloe's attitude.
She was afraid that one day, Donovan would become aggressive one day and leave her no way to survive or die.
IBecause it was the first time Chloe had brought a bento lunchbox to the company, so she couldn't resist posting a picture of her meal on her social media.
Donovan gave her a commented: "Don't forget about tomorrow."
Chloe made an "OK" gesture in response.
As expected, this online WeChat moment received likes from the entire company - this was the first time Mr. Blake had commented on anything.
Chloe's colleagues who had followed her WhatsApp social media also followed suit.
In the evening, Chloe prepared the dishes food and personally cooked for Donovan the next day: chicken breast, minced meat with stir-fried mushrooms, and stir-fried garlic shoots with meat. In addition, considering Donovan's status, she also made abalone soup for him. She didn't make any for herself because she was taking a day off today.
Upon seeingWhen Donovan saw only one bento lunchbox on the table, Donovan he asked, "What about mine?"
"TWife, this is yours. I asked the supervisor for leave froma day off the supervisor yesterday because I'm going out to meet a classmate today."
"AMeeting a classmate?" Donovan frowned.
"Yeah, this time I'm not lying to you this time," Chloe said pitifullysadly.
"Go ahead." After what happened yesterday, Donovan knew that Chloe wouldn't play any tricks.
Chloe was granted amnesty.
She didn't go out with Donovan but took a bus to the cemetery. Her father, Todd Baker, was had been buried here six years ago.
Chloe placed a bunch of small daisies in front of her father's grave. She had so much to say to him.
"Dad, I've come to see you, Dad. It's been a long time," Chloe said, asnd tears streamed down her face. When her parents were still alive, she was had been a happy child. "Before you left, you asked me to keep an eye on that person. I've been watching him, making sure he doesn't use your the eyes you donated eyes for any bad deeds. Although he has a bad temper and occasionally looks down on people, there’s no way he would doing anysomething bad should be impossible. You told me not to tell him to spare him a lifetime of guilt towards us, to let himso he could live honorably without living under thate shadow. I didn't tell him either, especially considering our current relationship. Dad T, there's one more thing I want to tell you, Dad. THhe also loves the stir-fried garlic shoots with meat and the refreshing lotus root slices that you loved to eat, he also loves them. Dad, do you think he loved them originally, or is it because he received your donated eyes? I can't figure it out."
At this point, Chloe cried and laughed uncontrollably.
"Brother, heJacob really wanted to come and see you, but he's busy with work and can't any take time off.," Chloe made an excuse for Jacob.
Jacob had never come to visiton their father on his's death anniversary. He resented how , resenting that their father hadn't left him any inheritance, only a vegetative mother who consumed cost them money. Chloe knew all of this, so on their father's death anniversary, she stopped calling asking him to visit their father, "brother," afraid that he would make their father unhappy if he came, he would make their father unhappy.
After finishing up at her father's grave, Chloe stood there for a while.
Her parents, who were her closest family, could no longer respond to her. All she had left was her brother, who was always against challenging her. It made Chloe feel very lonely.
After leaving the cemetery and getting into the car, Chloe's phone started ringing. It was Jacob.
"Did o you remember today is Dad's memorial day?" Chloe asked angrily.
"Today is Dad's memorial day? I don't care! Come Get over here!" Jacob ordered Chloe with an arrogant attitude.
He seemed really angry that even though he didn't hadn't come here on Dad's their father’s memorial day, and he was still angry, it'swhat a joke!
"What about you?" Chloe replied. She wasn’t, not in a good mood. As she thought, thinking about the last time her brother framed got her in trouble, she decided not to go.
"I won't frame do anything to you this time! I'm at the coffee shop, and even if I framed youtried to do something, they have surveillance cameras, okay? I don't want to go to jail! I'll send you the location, hurry up." Jacob hung up the phone.
Chloe saw that it was only noon now, so she went to the coffee shop her brother mentioned.
There was a book and a notebook iIn front of her brother. It was a book and a notebook, the book was Brayden's "CPAs and Life", and she knew thatthe notebook. Ishe was familiar with, it was the notebook for cost of financial management.
It turneds out Jacob was here for Brayden.
"What did Brayden do to offend you? Why did he pay for the clothes and become a criminal?" Jacob pounded the table and questioned Chloe.
"He paid the money, isn't that enough? Why did he say that my husband paid for it? Is he my husband?" Chloe's eyes were still red with anger. "Today is Dad's memorial day, do you have any filial piety at all?"
Jacob sneered and looked away. "He's not my sonfather, and I'm not his dad son either!"
"You..." Chloe's eyes turned red.
