Vivian's face went as white as a sheet. From their body language, tone, and conversation, Vivian could see that these two had a special relationship. Chloe had actually cozied up to the King of Eldridge! Vivian's eyes flashed with a fierce mix of jealousy and resentment. But under the man's steely stare, it turned into a desperate plea.
