Chapter 278 "You should be hanging out with people who are on your level instead of sifting through the sand for gold. It's not that people likelook down on ourselves, but folks like your mom are way out of our league. Sticking to my lane isn't wrong." "My mom isn't a monster. I don't believe she'd meddle in who I befriend." "Maybe not with others, but with me, she definitely would. Don't believe me? Just ask her." Chloe didn't explain more. She walked over to Pax and gave his shoulder a gentle pat. "Life's fair in its own way. You were born into a world of wealth and privilege that most people can only dream of, and that comes with its own set of sacrifices." "Here's my advice: just be the obedient heir, enjoy what you have, and don't get hung up on things that are hard to cby, like the so-called true love. Maybe it doesn't even exist. Parents can abandon their kids, and lovers can turn into enemies. People change, and nothing in this world is permanent.

Chloe headed to the parking lot and soon drove out. As she passed by the front of the TV station, Pax seemed to snap out of it. He ran towards her, blocking her car.
Luckily, Chloe reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting him. She was shaken and genuinely angry now. With a bang, she flung the car door open and stormed over to Pax.
Raising her hand, she slapped him across the face. "Pax, have you lost your mind? How many lives do you think you have to block a car in the street?" "Do you realize could've sent you flying to the ICU with one press of the gas? ts that big brain of yours Pet just for show? Can't you think before acting on impulse? If you want to die, don't draginto it and dirty my car!" FindChloe was truly furious. She had slapped Pax, but not hard because she it was meant to teach him a lesson. Being impulsive was one thing, but risking your life was another.

After being slapped, Pax looked bewildered and a bit tearful. He hadn't thought it through; he just knew he needed to speak to her. Otherwise, he might never get another chance.
His face was now full of guilt, and his eyes were brimming with unshed tears. "Chloe, I like you!"
"That's no excuses. I still have to from scold you!" Chloe was still fuming. But then she paused, realizing what he had said. "What did you say?"
With a pitiful look, Pax repeated, "Chloe, I like you. From the moment I saw you, knew. Ever since you left e France, Nve thought of you every second. I chere because of you. I don't just want to be friends I want to be your boyfriend." X CKK-SBCr/GS2P
