"What if... you’re satisfied?" Chloe Grant looked up and asked again.
The man raised an eyebrow, "Pay up, and I’ll take you away."
Like the usual purchase of an item.
Here, a woman is that item.
If she wants to leave, she can only agree to this man’s terms.
"Fine, I agree with you!"
Chloe Grant didn’t think much and said directly, looking up.
The man was surprised, "Didn’t expect you to sell Matthew Morgan so quickly."
Chloe Grant didn’t respond directly to his comment but shifted the topic back, "My requirement is that you take me away now."
Chloe Grant’s straightforwardness surprised the man, and naturally, he was straightforward as well.
"Since the deal is done, there should be something to witness it..."
He suddenly smiled strangely.
When Chloe Grant returned to the villa, Matthew Morgan was rushing back.
He grabbed Chloe Grant, examining her up and down, "Are you alright?"
Chloe Grant shook her head, tugging Matthew Morgan upstairs.
Lucas Morgan followed Matthew from behind, wanting to keep up, but Chloe pointed at Lucas and shook her head.
Matthew Morgan frowned; this girl hadn’t made a sound since she returned?
At this moment, Lucas Morgan, who had stopped due to Chloe’s gesture, didn’t look pleased.
When he learned that Chloe Grant was missing, he immediately dropped everything to rush over.
Even when he received word that Chloe Grant had been sent to the "Mirage", he went crazily with Matthew Morgan planning to set out to find her!
Now that she was back, but taking Matthew upstairs and leaving him downstairs alone, what did that mean?
Lucas Morgan was quite unhappy, hands on his hips, pacing back and forth in the hall.
Finally unable to bear it, he kicked over a small chair nearby.
"Chloe Grant, do you have a problem with me lately?!"
Chloe Grant tightly grasped Matthew Morgan’s wrist, leading him into her room, then locked the door.
Matthew Morgan was naturally puzzled by her actions, just about to speak when Chloe suddenly stood on tiptoe, covering Matthew’s mouth with her hand.
She shook her head forcefully, eyes filled with panic.
It seemed like if Matthew spoke, something terrible would happen the next second.
Matthew Morgan frowned.
Though confused, he nodded to Chloe to reassure her that he wouldn’t speak.
Only then did Chloe breathe a sigh of relief, her body slightly softening...
Matthew Morgan hurriedly reached out to hold her.
His eyes were filled with concern.
Chloe waved her hand, trying to stand up but found herself a bit weak now.
Matthew simply lifted her directly into his arms.
Matthew glanced at her and placed her on the sofa to let her half-recline.
His palm brushed against Chloe Grant’s forehead, as if probing her temperature.
Confirming there was nothing wrong, he removed his hand.
Chloe looked at Matthew and mouthed a word: Pen.
Without making a sound, forming the words with her lips, and even gesturing with her hand as if writing, Matthew naturally understood.
He signaled Chloe to wait there, then went to get a pen and notebook, placing them in front of Chloe.
Chloe took it, flipping through the notebook.
Gripping the pen, she was quite nervous!
Instinctively she looked at Matthew... finding him looking at her, Chloe quickly and guiltily lowered her head.
Even more nervously, she gripped the pen a bit tighter.
Hesitated for a long time without falling.
