Chapter 72 The Perfect Woman
Now, it was already 11:00 p.m..
Today, Chloe and Kelly spent the whole afternoon shopping.
She tried every possible way to find out the identity of the masked man.
However, Kelly said she didn't know.
Chloe was in a daze all day today.
The night grew deep.
Chloe lay in bed and thought of the past.
Ten years ago, she went on a picnic with her classmates and played by the river.
Suddenly, she saw a villa in the distance catch fire. They ran over, and she heard cries and calls for help from inside the villa.
After hesitating for a moment, she rushed into the flames and rescued someone.
After this person was saved, he jumped into the river.
Her thoughts drifted.
Last time at the top floor of the Sunset City Hotel.
Chloe was pinned to the auction table by Frederick, who cut her face with a knife, one slash after another.
She was in despair, helpless,.
Just when she was in utter despair, a masked man appeared.
Chloe could never forget that scene.
She couldn't forget the strong hands that lifted her up and brought her out of despair and helplessness. But then she fainted.
Chloe didn't know what happened afterward.
"Kelly said the masked man is the person I saved from the Bennett family fire ten years ago. Who is he?" Chloe murmured softly.
At this moment, the phone rang.
She picked up the phone beside her and found it was Larry calling.
Chloe pulled her thoughts back, shook her head slightly, and thought, 'I have a husband, I shouldn't think about other men.'
She cast aside her thoughts and answered the phone.
Larry said, "Chloe, I'm outside. I forgot my keys. Come and open the door for me."
"Okay." Chloe got up, left the room, and went to open the door for him.
Larry waited at the door for a while, and the door opened.
Chloe came over in her pajamas.
It was a set of white pajamas, very thin and slightly transparent, and she wasn't wearing a bra, so her figure was faintly visible.
Chloe's face showed displeasure. "Don't you know what time is it? Where have you been?"
Larry, with a simple and honest expression, scratched his head and explained, "A comrade retired and came back. We had a meal together and chatted for a while. I came back late, sorry."
"Come in quickly." Chloe didn't scold him, pulling Larry into the house.
They returned to the room.
Larry consciously took a blanket and a pillow, laid them on the floor, and lay down.
Chloe lay on the bed, turned to look at Larry sleeping on the floor, then took a deep breath and turned over.
The night passed silently.
On the next day, it was Kelly's 25th birthday, and her birthday party was being held at the Sunset City Hotel.
Kelly was the executive chairman of the Everlife Group, one of the top figures in Sunset City.
However, she was from Aurora Citadel, not a native of Sunset City, so she didn't belong to the Four Great Families.
Otherwise, with the assets of the Everlife Group, they could definitely crush the Four Great Families.
Kelly' invited many people to her birthday party. Any big shot in Sunset City received an invitation.
She was not a flamboyant person, just wanting to celebrate her birthday quietly.
However, she was from a big family.
Even though the Moore family was very strong in Aurora Citadel, this is Sunset City. She had been in Sunset City for less than a year and didn't have a deep social circle. She also wanted to take this opportunity to make more connections in Sunset City and lay a solid foundation for her career here.
At the Lewis family residence, Chloe was wearing a white V-neck dress. The dress was very form-fitting, perfectly highlighting her figure, with a smooth back completely exposed.
She had never worn such revealing clothes before. She felt a chill on her back and couldn't help but ask, "Larry, is this too revealing?"
Larry sat nearby, looking at her standing in front of the makeup mirror, constantly dressing up. "The dress is indeed beautiful, but it is a bit revealing. Look, there are just a few straps on the back, and half of your back is exposed."
"It's all Kelly's fault, saying this dress suits me well." Chloe's face showed a hint of complaint.
Larry said, "Actually, it's nothing, just a backless dress."
"Look at the front." Chloe turned around.
At this sight, Larry almost had a nosebleed.
The dress was V-necked, revealing some cleavage.
On her fair neck, she wore a brand-new crystal necklace that fell right into the cleavage.
It was so dazzling, so mesmerizing.
Her golden hair was tied up.
At this moment, Chloe looked like a noble white swan.
"Beautiful," Larry couldn't help but praise, "The dress and the jewelry are just perfect together."
"Really?" Chloe's face lit up with joy.
"Of course, my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. If you wear this dress to Kelly's birthday party, you'll definitely be the center of attention."
Chloe's lips curled up in a proud smile.
Then, she took out the lipstick she bought yesterday and gently applied a bit.
With the lipstick on, she looked even more sexy and charming.
Her red lips gave a strong visual impact.
Even Larry felt his heart skip a beat.
She was stunning.
Then, Chloe put on a pair of white high heels.
With this outfit, her aura was complete.
Her tied-up hair, delicate face, sexy red lips, and white dress were a perfect combination.
Larry couldn't take his eyes off her.
Chloe stood aside, pressing her lips, and called, "Honey."
Larry snapped out of his daze, stood up, and admired Chloe, swallowing hard. "You're so beautiful, Chloe. Let's not go. I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
Larry said seriously, "You're so beautiful, and I'm so ordinary. What if some rich guy takes a liking to you and you dump me? What will I do?"
Chloe burst into laughter, reached out, and tapped Larry on the forehead. "Silly, what are you talking about? I'm your wife, now and forever. I will never betray you."
At this moment, Chloe felt a bit guilty. Because last night, she spent the whole night thinking about another man.
She thought about the masked man who saved her.
Thinking about this made her cheeks flush and embarrassed.
Her blushing face made her even more attractive.
She quickly changed the subject. "Alright, let's go."
She walked out of the room in her high heels.
As soon as she stepped out, she heard exclamations.
Sam, who was sitting on the sofa with an ice pack on his mouth, immediately stood up, grabbed his phone, and shouted, "Chloe, don't move, let me take a picture."
He quickly opened the camera on his phone and took a few shots.
Looking at the perfect, angelic Chloe in the photos, Sam couldn't help but praise, "Chloe, are you trying to make all the men in the world fall for you?"
Hearing this, Chloe looked very pleased.
"Chloe, you..." Maria also came out of her room and was stunned to see Chloe dressed like this.
"Chloe, this dress, this necklace, these earrings, these high heels, did you buy them yesterday?"
"Yes."
"How much did it cost?"
Maria, who also came from a wealthy family, could tell at a glance that Chloe's outfit was extraordinary and definitely not cheap.
Chloe looked flustered and quickly said, "Not much, just a few hundred dollars for everything."
Maria immediately frowned. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Sitting on the sofa, Mindy said, "Mom, I've seen this dress in a luxury clothing store. It's about thirty thousand. Her dress, necklace, earrings, and high heels together are at least forty thousand."
"What?" Maria's voice rose. "Where did you get the money?"
Chloe quickly explained, "Mom, I met Kelly from the Everlife Group yesterday. Kelly gave them to me."
She didn't dare say it was Larry's money. If her mom found out, the money would definitely be confiscated.
Seeing Chloe dressed in luxury, Mindy felt envious and uncomfortable, sarcastically saying, "Did Kelly give them to you? Chloe, do you really think you're someone important? Ms. Moore from the Everlife Group wouldn't give you such expensive clothes."
Larry said from the side, "Ms. Moore really did give them to her."
Maria scrutinized Chloe and then looked at the plainly dressed Larry.
She had already accepted Larry. But now, she increasingly felt that Chloe and Larry were not a good match.
