Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318

“Unless you’re willing to marry her and bring me something in return,” Sterling snapped, “then don’t bother. There’s nothing left to discuss

between us.”

With that, he dragged Chloe out of the apartment. It was like he’d already decided how this would end. Chloe didn’t even struggle. She just turned and gave Serena a small wave.

“He can’t just take her like that.” Serena bit her lip as she watched them leave. “I promised Chloe I wouldn’t let him take her away like this,

she murmured.

‘And now look at me, breaking that promise just like that,‘ she thought.

“It’s not your fault,” Keith said, pulling her into his arms. He gently rubbed her back, trying to calm her. “I’ll try to get a read on Sterling’s real intentions. The wedding’s not until next month. Maybe there’s still time to stop it.”

At this point, it was the only plan they had. As much as Sterling disgusted them, he wasn’t wrong. Chloe was still his daughter. And even if she didn’t want this, there wasn’t much she could do to fight it alone.

After digging deeper, Serena learned just how bad the situation really was. The man Sterling had chosen for Chloe was Ashton Kingsley, a notorious playboy with a mountain of scandals behind him.

He was infamous in elite circles for his endless scandals and a long trail of women he bankrolled or kept around for pleasure.

‘How could anyone possibly hand their daughter off to someone like Ashton Kingsley?‘ Serena’s mind whispered.

“If Chloe really marries him, her life will be ruined,” she said, guilt weighing heavily in her chest. “Everything she’s worked for will mean nothing.”

She couldn’t shake the self–blame. She should’ve stopped Sterling that day. She should’ve done more.

“Keith, can you help me find a way to see her?” she asked. “I’m really worried about how she’s holding up.”

Knowing Chloe, she’d be trying to tough it out alone, pretending everything was fine. Serena refused to let her suffer through it.

“I’ll make it happen,” Keith said. His tone was calm, but he hadn’t stopped thinking about it either.

Eventually, they found the right window of opportunity. Sterling was out on business, leaving Chloe home alone. It was the perfect time.

The Whitmore family’s butler, Edgar Langdon, greeted them at the door. “Please, come in. Ms. Whitmore hasn’t been eating much lately, It’s good of you to visit. Maybe you’ll lift her spirits,” he said, his voice low with concern.
