Hearing Andrea’s voice on the other end, Chloe couldn’t help but frown.

After hanging up, she made an excuse about taking out the trash and went down to the building’s entrance.

Andrea spotted her and approached. “Ms. Irvine, lan told me you were back. I just came by to see you”

As she spoke, Andrea held out a box of chocolates and a fruit basket.

A sarcastic smile touched Chloe’s lips, and she made no move to take the gifts.

‘lan doesn’t come home for a month and offers no explanation, all for Andrea’s sake. And the second I’m back, he runs to tell her. Now that’s true love. Chloe thought, her lips curling in a mocking sneer.

Chloe reined in her emotions. “I won’t be taking those. If you have something to say, just say it.”

They stood facing each other on the sidewalk, and Andrea set the gifts on the ground.

Staring at Chloe’s strikingly beautiful face, a flash of jealousy crossed Andrea’s eyes. “I assume you came back to spend Thanksgiving with your family. When are you planning on leaving again?”

Chloe frowned. “Why I’m back and when I leave is none of your business. If you’re going to keep beating around the bush, I’m done here.”

As Chloe turned to go, Andrea stepped in front of her. “Ms. Irvine, I know you’re bitter that Ian and I are together again. But playing these little games will only make him despise you more.”

Chloe pursed her lips, saying nothing.

‘Birds of a feather really do flock together. Both Ian and Andrea were insufferably arrogant.

Andrea continued, “You let my son and me move into your home, you graciously redecorated for us, you left behind divorce papers and a credit card, you even deliberately put your wedding ring on my hand. You weren’t graciously stepping aside. It was a strategic retreat, designed to provoke lan, to make him feel guilty and come back to you. Am I wrong?”

Chloe fought to control the storm raging inside her. “Andrea, you should be whispering in lan’s ear, convincing him to divorce me so you and your son can get what you want. You shouldn’t be wasting your time with me.”

If this were the Chloe of the past, she would have either slapped Andrea across the face or cursed her out.

But after her family’s bankruptcy and three years in a loveless marriage, all her sharp edges had been worn

smooth.

The proud, willful Irvine heiress of Kingsford’s elite circles was gone,

In her place stood a woman covered in scars, fragile and raw.

Standing before Chloe, Andrea felt an inexplicable wave of inferiority.

She deliberately lifted her chin, trying to project an air of elegance and composure.

“Ian is a man with a deep sense of responsibility,” she taunted. “The only reasons he won’t divorce you are out of respect for his family and because he pities you.”

Andrea sighed dramatically. “I understand how difficult this is for him, so I won’t push him. After all, he loves me. His heart has always belonged to me and our son. The only thing he can ever give you is his last name.”

“What the fuck!”

Carl appeared out of nowhere and kicked Andrea hard, sending her sprawling onto the street.
