Chapter 153 Chloe Is Getting More and More Beautiful at Night
The naked photos of Brayden and Ellie circulated wildly among various media, but all were pixelated to maintain public decency. They were labeled as Mr. Perez and Ms. Roberts.
Many groups that Chloe was in were discussing this matter. Chloe thought about giving Brayden a call to comfort him. But Chloe also knew that in such situations, his mood must not be good, so maybe it was better for Chloe to pretend not to know.
She just couldn't understand why Donovan was so ruthless. He went all out to crush people just for his possessiveness and reputation. Also, what was the other thing he misunderstood today? The more Chloe thought about it, the colder she felt.
These days, she had no contact with Donovan. During the New Year holidays, colleagues were forgiving each other and starting over with a blank slate.
On the morning of the first day, Logan's car was waiting downstairs at Chloe's house, with Sofia sitting in the front seat. Logan and Sofia went upstairs to help Amelia into the car.
Logan didn't have deep feelings for Sofia, but when he heard that Chloe needed help, he came anyway. Sofia couldn't help feeling a bit sour.
As they neared Sunshine Bay City, Amelia tapped Chloe's hand and said, "Chloe, when you go to your grandmother's house, keep a low profile. You know Barbara's temper."
"Got it."
"Don't say you work at New East Group, just say you work at an ordinary company." Amelia kept tapping Chloe's hand, thinking about what else to pay attention to.
"Understood."
Thinking of Barbara, Chloe couldn't help but shiver. When she was in junior high, during winter vacation, Chloe and her mother went to visit her grandmother. Barbara, wearing a beautiful floral dress, stood in front of Chloe and asked how many points she scored in Chinese. The exam papers in the whole Maple Valley city were the same, and Chinese was the subject Barbara scored the best in.
"I didn't do well in the essay so they deducted five points. I scored a total of 92 points," Chloe said.
Barbara's face immediately turned ashen. She took her own test paper and tore it up, then looked up and started crying. She had scored 90 points.
Barbara's parents thought Chloe had upset their precious daughter and were a bit unhappy. That year, Amelia gave Barbara an extra hundred dollars to settle the matter.
At that time, Chloe thought: 'Barbara has a bad temper, and is possessive and selfish.'
Now, thinking back, her temper was almost like Donovan's.
Remembering Donovan's actions, Chloe felt a sense of unease.
"Also, Chloe, we have to come back tomorrow. I guess their house can't accommodate us, so your grandmother and I will share a bed, you see..." Amelia glanced at Sofia and Logan in front.
Sofia hoped they wouldn't come back tonight. "It's okay,. Tonight we'll find a hotel. Chloe and I will share a room, and Logan can have his own room, okay?"
Sofia sat in the front passenger seat, glancing at Logan beside her. Amelia knew it wasn't appropriate, but she hadn't been back for several years and didn't know if Daniel's house had changed. She didn't even know if they were welcome. Staying out was the worst-case scenario.
"I'll pay for you," she said.
"No need. Let's consider it a vacation," Sofia said cheerfully.
"That's right. I have nothing to do these days, I'm just going along with what Chloe needs," Logan added.
"When we get back, let Chloe treat you to dinner," Amelia said again.
"Definitely," Sofia said seriously, digging a pit for Chloe.
Two and a half hours later, they arrived at an old community in Sunshine Bay City. Sofia and Logan went out to find a hotel, leaving Amelia and Chloe on their own.
"Chloe, you probably have to stay in a hotel tonight," Amelia said, seeing that Daniel's house hadn't changed. It was still the same ninety square meters with three small rooms and a very small living room.
They knocked on Daniel's door. Barbara opened it.
"Auntie, Chloe? Auntie, are you feeling better?" Barbara said. From her tone, Chloe couldn't tell if she was happy, sad or indifferent.
When Chloe entered, Barbara looked Chloe up and down. After not seeing each other for a few years, Chloe was getting more and more beautiful!
