Chapter 320 Change of Attitude
Chloe felt guilty.
Because Larry was really good to her.
But she had fallen in love with another man.
This was considered infidelity within marriage.
She felt her face burning, lowered her head, and walked forward, not daring to look at Larry.
Larry quickly caught up and reached for Chloe's hand.
Maybe because of her guilt, Chloe didn't resist and let Larry hold her hand.
Just as they walked out of the movie theater.
A little girl came over with some roses, looking at Larry with hopeful eyes: "Buy a bouquet for this beautiful lady, pretty flowers for a pretty lady."
"How much?" Larry asked with a smile.
"One dollar a bouquet."
"Alright, I'll take them all."
Larry reached into his pocket, but he didn't have the habit of carrying a wallet, so there was no money in his pocket.
He smiled awkwardly and asked, "Can I pay with a card?"
"Sure." The little girl smiled at Larry.
Larry took out his card and paid.
The little girl handed all the red roses to Larry, "Thank you."
Then she skipped away.
Larry held the flowers and handed them to Chloe, smiling, "Chloe, these are for you."
Chloe pouted.
She didn't really want them, but she accepted them anyway.
"Honey, let's go shopping at the nearby mall. We've been together for so long, and I haven't given you anything. Today, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
Chloe glanced at Larry and said sarcastically, "Larry, with your meager salary, what can you buy me? Pretty clothes, cosmetics, can you afford them?"
"Chloe, money means nothing to me; I don't lack money."
Larry said seriously.
To him, there were many things more valuable than money.
Family, friendship, love, these are things money can't buy.
Chloe took a deep breath.
Larry indeed didn't lack money in the past.
He had two hundred million dollars.
But he didn't say anything and used the two hundred million dollars to buy the Everlasting Group for her.
Thinking of this, she felt a bit touched.
"Okay."
She stopped mocking Larry and nodded gently.
She held the nine flowers, sniffed them lightly, and couldn't help but say, "They smell so good."
Seeing Chloe's expression, Larry was also satisfied.
He held her hand and walked forward.
They passed by a jewelry store.
"Honey, let's go in and take a look."
"Okay."
Chloe nodded gently.
The two walked in.
"Welcome."
"It's Chloe."
As soon as Chloe walked in, she became the center of attention.
A salesperson immediately came over, looking excited, and said, "Chloe, hello, I'm a fan of Black Dragon. Can you give me Black Dragon's WhatsApp? I want to contact Black Dragon."
As one person spoke, others gathered around.
They all asked about Black Dragon.
"Chloe, when are you going to divorce your useless husband and marry Black Dragon?"
"Chloe, tell us about your love story with Black Dragon."
Hearing this, Chloe felt a bit embarrassed and quickly explained, "You misunderstand, Black Dragon and I are just friends, and I won't divorce my husband. My husband used to be Black Dragon's subordinate, and they have a good relationship."
Larry, standing beside, was very happy to hear this.
Chloe no longer had the idea of divorcing him.
Now, as long as he continued to work hard, he could eventually make Chloe fall in love with him.
After explaining, Chloe pulled Larry away.
Now her fame was too great; no matter where she went, she was surrounded by people, and they almost always asked about her and Black Dragon.
After leaving the jewelry store.
Chloe looked apologetic, "Larry, I'm sorry, there's really nothing between me and Black Dragon. After you were arrested a few days ago, he helped me, making me the miracle doctor of Sunset City, and he has a girlfriend, Abigail."
Although Chloe was apologizing.
Larry could see the disappointment on her face.
He knew Chloe still liked Black Dragon.
But he didn't mind because Chloe just liked another version of him. Even if it was emotional infidelity, it was still infidelity with himself.
"It's okay, let's go home, no more shopping."
"Okay."
Chloe nodded.
The two returned to the Lewis family.
Maria and Scott had already returned.
As soon as they got home, Maria warmly greeted Larry, offering tea and food.
This made Larry feel a bit overwhelmed.
Maria looked at Larry and asked with a smile, "Larry, how's the matter of Xerxes giving you half of his estate going?"
Larry was slightly stunned.
Xerxes did say that.
But he didn't take it seriously and never asked Xerxes about it.
Besides, he didn't lack money. Even if Xerxes really gave it to him, he wouldn't take it.
"Mom"
He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Xerxes was just joking. Giving away half of his estate, how is that possible? Do you know how much Xerxes has? His assets are conservatively estimated at a trillion dollars. Half of that is five hundred billion dollars. Giving away five hundred billion dollars just like that, is that possible?"
Maria's face immediately darkened.
"Larry, if you can get half of Xerxes' assets, you can be with Chloe. If not, you two should divorce."
Maria's attitude changed instantly.
She admitted Larry only for the five hundred billion dollars.
Without the five hundred billion dollars, Larry was just a loser.
She didn't want Chloe to be held back by a loser.
The sooner they separated, the sooner Chloe could pursue Black Dragon.
Even if she couldn't get Black Dragon, she could find Chloe a rich husband.
Chloe knew what kind of person Maria was.
But she also wanted Xerxes' five hundred billion dollars.
"Larry, Xerxes said it himself, I heard it too. A person of his stature wouldn't joke about this. Why don't you ask him?"
Larry looked at Chloe, feeling helpless, and said, "Honey, if it were you, after working hard all your life and earning a lot of money, would you be willing to give half of it to someone unrelated?"
Chloe said unwillingly, "But you saved Esmeralda. Even if you can't get half, you should be able to get a few billion dollars if you ask. The Lewis family is in need of money right now, borrowing from everywhere. And now that I'm the miracle doctor of Sunset City, with some fame, the Global Nexus Group will restart. But this also needs money. Without money, how can we talk about ideals and ambitions?"
Larry frowned and said helplessly, "A few billion dollars, you say it so easily. Do you think a few billion dollars is nothing?"
Maria slapped the table and shouted, "Larry, no matter what, you must get money from Xerxes. If it's less than a billion dollars, I will never acknowledge you as my son-in-law."
Larry looked at Chloe and asked, "Chloe, is this what you think too?"
Chloe hesitated.
But seeing Maria's murderous look, she took a deep breath and said, "Larry, the Lewis family just went through a crisis. Without money, we can't restart the Everjoy Company. And the Global Nexus Group needs money to restart."
"If I don't ask Xerxes for money, will you divorce me?"
Larry stared at Chloe.
He was waiting for Chloe's answer.
He didn't want his feelings to be bound by money.
