Chapter 92

The whole issue was resolved smoothly, and Chloe and Jan walked out of the venue together.

Chloe kept her eyes glued to her phone screen as she walked, constantly refreshing her feed.

lan was giving off a vibe that made people want to stay away.

The driver opened the car door, and Chloe bent down to get in.

Meanwhile, in the makeup room of a top influencer company in Kingsford, Andrea glared furiously at the livestream as lan and Chloe showed up at the press conference to sort out the whole mess. Her rage boiling over, she swept all the makeup off the table in a single motion.

She’d thought this would be easy, almost effortless.

If only the media dug a little deeper, her connection with Ian would be laid bare for everyone to see.

But she never expected that after just one night, that bitch Chloe would dissolve all the drama with a few

clever lines.

As Andrea watched Chloe flirting shamelessly with Ian on screen–and Ian gazing back at Chloe like she was the only girl in the world–jealousy burned in her chest, and she ripped her headband off in frustration.

She was Ian’s first love, the only woman he’d ever truly loved. As long as she was around, that bitch Chloe would be out of the picture sooner or later.

Andrea stared at her increasingly flawless features in the mirror, quickly composed herself, and then dialed

Jan’s number.

The black Bentley cruised down the streets of Kingsford.

Chloe and lan sat quietly in the back seat of the luxury car, when Ian’s phone suddenly rang, the shrill ringtone snapping through the stillness.

Jan shot a glance at the caller ID, then turned towards Chloe, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Chloe slipped her phone into her bag and zipped it shut.

Catching Jan’s eyes, she tilted her head and said, “If you need some privacy, I can step outside.”

She said it so casually, completely indifferent, like it was the most routine thing in the world.

With that, Chloe instructed the driver to pull over.

Jan’s

gaze was intense and cutting, like it could slice straight into Chloe’s soul, digging for secrets she kept hidden deep inside.

The black Bentley rolled to a stop at a nearby parking spot, and Chloe pushed the door open.

Ian snapped out of his daze just in time to see Chloe already stepping out, one foot on the pavement.

Ian hung up and caught Chloe by the wrist.

He said, “I turned off the call. You don’t have to leave.”

Chloe threw lan a glance, but shook off his grip and stepped out of the car anyway.

Standing outside, Chloe looked in through the window and reminded him with calm concern, “You really should call her back. She’s struggling with depression and she’s totally head over heels for you. If she can’t handle it and does something drastic, I’m worried that’s something you’ll never be able to undo.”

After saying that, Chloe turned away with total calm, stepped onto the sidewalk, and pulled out her phone to order a ride.

Ian felt suffocated by Chloe’s words, a tightness in his chest that made it hard to breathe.

His breathing was heavy and uneven as he slipped out of the car from the opposite side, circling around the vehicle.

Chloe heard the car door open and shut, and suddenly Ian was standing right in front of her.

Chloe glanced at him and asked, “Now that the press conference is over, do you still need anything else from me?”

Ian wore a stormy expression, eyes locked on Chloe as he tried to read her face.

He said, “Chloe, if you’ve got a problem or something’s bothering you, just say it. You don’t have to act like this with me.”

Chloe set down her phone, her gaze unmistakably detached as she looked at Ian.

She said, “What’s the point of being upset? It’s not like I can walk away from this marriage.”

She went on, “What good does it do to feel wronged? I’m stuck–I signed that agreement, and now I’m at your mercy. I’m scared you’ll threaten me, scared you’ll have me thrown in jail. All I can do is deal with it.”

She finished, “And even if I say all this–would it really change anything? Is it up to me to save myself, or are you ever going to let me go?”

They stood on the edge of the sidewalk, face to face, so close neither one was willing to look away.

Chloe shot her questions one after another, her expression totally unbothered–her words laced with scorn, almost like she couldn’t care less.

Ian looked furious, his face dark as thunder, breathing so hard it seemed like he was barely holding it together.

As evening approached, Chloe glanced at her phone, surprised to see several mined exis

She stepped out onto the balcony and immediately called Eric hack. That was when the red hotove Logan’s problems were acting up again–he’d started losing sleep lately,

After finishing the call with Eric, Chloe wasted no time and immediately called Arthur Lo

Arthur Logan was her first ever patient–and for real, he was basically her ticket to fortune.

If it wasn’t for him, Chloe never would’ve made a name for herself to quickly in the whole deep disorders

scene.

He’d traveled all the way to Kingsford just to see her, totally unfamiliar with the city, trusting her reputation- and it was on Chloe to make sure he was going to be alright.

As soon as the call connected, Arthur Logan’s voice came through, frazzled and a bit whiny. Tm at the airport. Hurry up and come get me”

He honestly sounded just like a lost puppy–confused, helpless, and hoping someone would come to his

rescue.

Chloe quickly let her parents know she was heading out, then rushed straight to the airpor

At the airport exit, Arthur Logan was impossible to miss–tall, stylish, and dressed to the nines. His wispy. mullet–style hair was streaked with violet highlights, and he had that cocky walk like he was born to rule every room he entered.

Chloe walked over with a welcoming smile. “Mr. Logan, welcome to Kingsford.”

Arthur Logan shot Chloe a fierce glare, his hazel eyes practically burning holes in her. “Spill it–did you block me or what?”

Chloe was just about to pull out her phone to prove she hadn’t blocked him when lan’s name popped up on

her screen.

Before she could even react, Arthur Logan snatched the phone right out of her hand and hung up on lan.
