“So you’re protecting her, huh? You cradle your sister and let her call the shots. Honestly,
she doesn’t
seem like your sister at all. From the looks of it, she’s the one sleeping by your side. You
do whatever she
says! You’re like her lapdog!” I couldn’t help but point it out.
“Come on, Chloe… What are you talking about Cont
you show a little restraint? Think about the bigger.
picture?” Matthew’s face suddenly changed color, and he shoved me away, causing me to
stumble.
“Ms. Chloe!” Johnson gasped, offering support as I steadied myself and glared at Matthew.
Melanie hid behind her brother and whispered venomously in his ear. “Matt, can’t you see
she’s only after
your money? She only cares about herself. Has she ever genuinely worried about you?”

family. It legally
belongs to Matt. It has nothing to do with you. So what if you were the founder? You can’t

His face reddened, but he said nothing.
I clenched my teeth and held back my tears.
“Let me be clear, Matthew. Listen carefully if you’re as cruel and ungrateful as she

people.”
With that, I walked away. Matthew shouted, “Stop!”
His true colors were showing. I paused, pulling my foot back and turning to face him. “Is

Staring at him, I continued, “You dare raise your voice at me? Don’t forget, I didn’t cheat

Still, they were invisible to me. My ears rang, and I only wanted to find a quiet, healing
place.
A firm hand suddenly reached out through the crowd and grabbed my arm, pulling me
away. My head was
pounding as they shoved me into a car.
“…Chloe!” A voice called out to me softly.
In a daze, I turned my head to see the face. It felt like I had seen it somewhere but
couldn’t quite

The car continued to drive, seemingly for a long time. My head was throbbing with pain.
My phone kept ringing. A hand snatched the phone from my hand, and finally, the world
