"Chloe, stop it. Every time something happens, you want to avoid it. If you can hide, you will. Now that something’s happened, you want to leave? I’m telling you, I won’t allow it!"
"Whatever it is you’re facing, tell me. I’ll handle it, but you’re not allowed to go!"
Isabella Gray shouted directly at him.
"Watch your words and attitude."
With Chloe’s parents present, he was reprimanding her like that.
What would Chloe’s parents think?
Would they think their daughter had been scolded in the Morgan family for the past ten years?
"I’m her uncle. Should I just stand by and do nothing when I see her jumping into a pit of fire?" Lucas felt very displeased at this moment and spoke without restraint.
"Tell me, what is it exactly that makes you so determined to go abroad?" he pressed.
Chloe instinctively retreated.
She didn’t want to answer this question!
Lucas directly pulled her out, "Speak up clearly, don’t keep everything to yourself, just trying to avoid instead of solving your problems!"
"I just want to go abroad!"
Forced by Lucas, Chloe was getting irritated too and struggled free of his hold, saying, "Even if I’m avoiding things, so what? It’s my life, and this is how I want to live it!"
"I’m telling you, if you go , you’ll either end up regretting it or failing miserably. There won’t be a good outcome!" Lucas retorted.
Seeing the two about to argue, Isabella stepped forward and separated Lucas.
"Chloe, don’t mind your uncle. Although Grandma doesn’t agree with you going abroad, I believe you know what you want. I want to hear your thoughts."
Alex Grant and Vann Stern exchanged a glance but did not say much.
"Chloe... are you still upset because of him?"
Standing outside the sofa, Lily Grant, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly blurted this out.
"Who is ’him’?" Lucas was the first to turn around.
Not only Isabella but also Chloe’s parents were attracted by what Lily said.
Chloe called her name, with a warning in her eyes!
If she dared to say out loud her feelings for Lucas, Chloe would definitely fight her.
Lily looked troubled, "Chloe, don’t look at me like that. I... I won’t say, okay..."
"Say it!" Lucas shouted.
He blocked Chloe’s sight, staring at Lily, "Say what you know, she can’t do anything to you."
Lily looked at Lucas, then at the silent Isabella and Chloe’s parents.
They all wanted to know the reason Chloe suddenly decided to go abroad.
Lily raised her head, finally placing her gaze on Lucas, "Chloe has liked someone since a long time ago..."
"Lily, if you dare to say another word, try me!" Chloe angrily shouted.
She tried to rush over, but Lucas blocked her.
That damn Lucas, he always sides with Lily!
"Lucas, let me go! Let go!"
Lucas completely ignored Chloe, turned his head to Lily, "Speak!"
Lily bit her lip, looking very distressed, and then sighed, "Chloe, don’t blame me. I know you don’t want to say these things, but everyone here cares about you. There’s no harm in saying it."
"Stop being disgusting here!" Chloe reflexively argued back.
Her parents were present, Grandma was present, and even Lucas Morgan, the person involved, was there...
If Lily really said it out loud, the consequences would be unimaginable!
