Chapter 181 Meeting
William went to prepare the car as Larry had requested.
William had taken over the industries relinquished by the Four Great Families and established the Serpent Group.
Now, The Serpent Group had assets worth billions.
Getting a luxury car was a piece of cake. He got one that was worth 1.8 billion dollars. It was also so exclusive that no one could obtain it without strong connections.
The Serpent Group's network was truly formidable because the industries under the Serpent Group were all given up by the Four Great Families, who had deep roots in Sunset City. Apart from the bankrupt Hall familyy, the other three families were still major players.
Soon, it was five o'clock. Larry took out his brand-new phone and sent a message to Chloe.
Larry: [When shall we meet?]
Chloe had gone to the Everlasting Group.
She had been distracted all afternoon, constantly checking her phone.
After a long wait, she finally received a message.
She wasn't sure if this message from an unknown sender was from the mysterious Mr. Bennett.
She politely replied.
Chloe: [May I ask who this is?]
Larry: [Larry.]
Seeing this, Chloe's heart skipped a beat. She tried to calm herself down and asked again.
Chloe: [Is this Larry from the Serpent Group?]
Larry: [Yes.]
Chloe: [Where are you? I'll come over right away.]
Larry: [Where are you? I'll come pick you up.]
Chloe: [I'm at the Everlasting Group.]
Larry chose not to call but to text to Chloe. After texting for a while, he went downstairs and drove the luxury car to the Everlasting Group.
At the Everlasting Group, outside the company building, Chloe was already waiting. She was wearing a white spaghetti strap dress, looking sexy and very beautiful.
Chloe was now a celebrity in Sunset City. Many media reporters were stationed at the Everlasting Group, hoping to dig up some news about Chloe.
Seeing Chloe constantly looking around outside the company, these reporters knew she was waiting for someone.
Many reporters took photos of her secretly.
Soon, a luxury car appeared outside the Everlasting Group. A handsome, fair-skinned young man in a white suit stepped out of the car. His demeanor was impeccable,
Seeing the luxury car and the handsome young man, Chloe knew this was the mysterious Larry Bennett, from the Bennett family.
This was the person she saved ten years ago, the person who saved her from Frederick, the person who had been secretly helping her all this time.
Although she had never seen Larry's face, she was sure this was him.
'How handsome,' she thought.
Seeing Larry approach, Chloe's heart couldn't help but race. Seeing his chiseled, handsome face, she almost couldn't breathe.
Was itreally him?
Larry walked up to her, smiling. "Chloe."
The way he said her name was so attractive.
That single word seemed to have a magical power, deeply attracting Chloe.
At that moment, a woman in a red dress, with a sexy figure, red lips, and sunglasses, walked over.
It was Abigail.
Abigail had come to find Chloe a few times, but Chloe was never there. After work today, she wanted to introduce Justin to Chloe.
As soon as she arrived outside the Everlasting Group building, she saw someone else. When she saw that person's face, her eyes welled up.
It was a face that had been appearing in her mind constantly for the past ten years.
"Larry."Her throat choked up. She stood at a distance, watching Larry walk towards Chloe.
Before she could react, Chloe was momentarily stunned. She looked up at Larry, feeling very shy.
She had finally met him. She had a lot to say, but didn't know how to start.
Larry beckoned to her. "Let's go."
"Okay," Chloe said, snapping out of her trance.
The two walked side by side.
This scene was captured by many media outlets.
Abigail was slightly stunned, then quickly approached them, took off her sunglasses, and said brightly, "Chloe."
Then she looked at Larry. Misty-eyed, her expression was filled with resentment.
Larry frowned. 'What is Abigail doing here?'
"Larry." Abigail's eyes welled up with tears as she looked up at him, appearing very aggrieved.
Larry looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Chloe, standing next to Larry, felt awkward. She knew the mysterious Mr. Bennett was Abigail's boyfriend ten years ago, and Abigail was her friend now.
"Abigail..."
She looked at Abigail, blushing and feeling a sense of shame.
"Larry, do you know I've been waiting for you for ten years?" Abigail looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I knew you weren't dead. I could feel you were always by my side. Throughout those ten years, I've turned down countless suitors. Even so, you never showed up. Now you're with her. Don't you know that she's married?"
Hearing this, Chloe felt even more embarrassed.
Larry frowned and said, "I know that Chloe is married, but I have no intention of over-stepping any boundaries. I just wanted to clarify things with her. Besides, you and I were in a relationship for a few months ten years ago. I've long forgotten about it."
After saying this, he looked at Chloe, gave her an apologetic smile, and said, "Let's go."
Chloe nodded slightly, keeping her head down, not daring to look at Abigail, because she really didn't know what to say to her.
Larry walked toward the luxury car.
Chloe got into the passenger seat.
Abigail stood there, watching them leave, tears streaming down her face.
Eventually, Larry and Chloe arrived at Sunset City. They proceeded to a private room in a luxury hotel and sat across from each other.
Chloe kept her head down but couldn't help glancing at Larry. Seeing how handsome he was, she felt very shy and her heart was racing.
"Thank you for everything you've done," she said.
Larry smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. I would have died if you hadn't rushed into the fire to save me back then. You went through so many ups and downs in these past ten years. What I've done can't make up for that."
After saying this, Larry fell silent.
He was waiting for Chloe's response, but Chloe didn't say anything either.
The room instantly became quiet.
After a few seconds, Chloe looked up at the handsome Black Dragon in front of her, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"What do you want to say?" he prompted.
Chloe took a deep breath and said, "I shouldn't have accepted your help. I have a husband."
"I know," Larry said. "I was so grateful to you, but because of your husband, I didn't show up to see you. It's quite a coincidence that your husband is also named Larry and was once my subordinate."
Chloe's heart trembled.
She had already guessed the identity of the mysterious Mr. Bennett, and it turned out to be true.
He really was Black Dragon.
Chloe shook her head slightly and said, "Forget about him. It would be great if he were even a tenth as good as you."
Larry smiled faintly. It seemed he had no place in Chloe's heart.
"Actually, if it hadn't been for some circumstances, your husband would have had a great future. He's also a devoted person. I hope you can treat him well and not let him down."
When Larry said this, he felt a bit uncomfortable. It felt strange to praise himself. Seeing Chloe not speaking, Larry thought for a moment and then said, "If you really don't love him, you can choose to divorce him. I won't mind. And I'll marry you right away, making you the happiest woman in the world and the envy of all the other ladies out there."
Chloe trembled.
Divorce?
At that moment, she had the impulse to divorce the other Larry and throw herself into this Larry's arms.
Her body language didn't deceive Larry. He sighed inwardly.
It seemed Chloe really didn't like the lazy, unambitious Larry.
She preferred the mysterious Mr. Bennett, who could give her everything she needed.
