Chapter 692
Steven stared at Chloe intently. She quickly realized she couldn't be rude to him since she was there to ask for
money. Hence, she tried to suppress her anger.
Steven let out a cold laugh. "You've always been like this. Whenever | refuse to give you what you want, you
start making excuses."
And in the end, it always cback to the sthing-her accusing him of being unfilial.
"No matter what, you always manage to get your way in the end." Steven finally understood how Chloe had
been manipulating him all along. His eyes darkened with bitterness.
For the first time, he regretted his choices. When he thought about it, life had been much easier with Annalise. At
least she was frugal.
Back then, Chloe tried to be more mindful of spending, just so Annalise wouldn't use too much money. Now,
Jessica spent money recklessly, and Chloe had followed suit with no restraint at all.
Steven felt utterly exhausted.
Chloe, who was growing impatient, urged, "Steven, are you buying it foror not? At least givean answer."
He didn't want to drag this conversation out any longer. He was willing to spend the money if it meant ending
this discussion quickly. Right now, all he wanted was a moment of peace.
"What kind of jewelry do you want?" he asked flatly.
Upon hearing this, Chloe immediately sat closer to him, hesitating for a moment before saying, "My friends have
been talking about the imperial green jadeite at the exhibition. The color is a stunning, vibrant green.

the weaker her voice became.
Steven stared at Chloe in disbelief, expecting her request to be for a few hundred thousand dollars. But instead,
she was asking for something worth billions.
It was no wonder Chloe had said she couldn't afford it. The price was clearly beyond what she could manage.
Chloe shifted uncomfortably, then said, "I know the price is outrageous, but | promise you as long as you buy me
this jewelry, I'll never ask for any other jewelry for the rest of my life!"
Suddenly, Steven realized that this wasn't the first tChloe had made such a promise. He couldn't help but
laugh bitterly.
After a long pause, he asked, "What's gotten into you? Why do you want this so badly all of a sudden?"
"Because my friends all want it," Chloe replied, offering a quick explanation: "And they're planning to buy it, too.
| figured that since there's only one set... if I'm willing to pay for it first, I'll be the one to get it
Steven didn't respond immediately.
There were plenty of people
wealthier than him in the city. None of their mothers were buying jewelry like this, so what was Chloe trying to
prove? Was he supposed to show everyone that he had grown so wealthy that he could casually
spend billions of dollars?
Steven didn't want to lose his temper; he knew it would be futile as Chloe wouldn't
listen anyway.
He said calmly, "I understand you
have your preferences, but | need to
tell you something. Ever since |

Chloe's face brightened, her smile spreading uncontrollably. "Go and buy it!"
She had always known that Steven cared about her the most!
Steven sighed and continued, "But
