Chapter 1097
Austin on the side was starting to get antsy, seeing things go south. He stepped up and waved at Chloe, “What’s
up?! Let’s bounce, let’s get outta here! What are you waiting for? A beat–down?”
Chloe stood her ground, paying Austin no mind. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at the hefty woman in
front of her from above.
“I’m curious to see, how exactly you’re gonna make me pay? You can’t even keep your man in check and all you
can do is come here and start a ruckus. No wonder your hubby keeps stepping out on you! He can’t keep it in his
pants and you can’t change him. Just because you think the sun shines out of his ass, doesn’t mean everyone else
does! You think I fancy him? What’s to like?”
Chloe sounded icy cold, her expression even more chilling.
Rhoda was on the side, playing on her phone, doing god knows what. When she put her phone down and lifted her
head, she saw Chloe standing tall and proud, all eyes on her, surprise and excitement plastered on everyone’s
faces! Like she was in the right for throwing punches and her words now were just the cherry on top.
She frowned, and gritted her teeth, her gaze sweeping Chloe’s figure, resting on Chloe’s ring that looked simple but
had a top–grade diamond on it, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
“Ms. Summers, that’s a nice ring you’ve got there, worth a pretty penny, isn’t it?” Rhoda spoke up, all onlookers‘
gazes shifted to Chloe’s left hand. Chloe squinted at Rhoda, chuckling coldly, “It’s something you could never afford
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin your lifetime!”
Rhoda’s face darkened, then she laughed, “Yeah, I guess I don’t have the nerve to get men to buy me fancy,
expensive diamond rings like you…” Suddenly Chloe’s hand was grabbed, followed by Makenna’s shrill voice. “You
cheap tart, acting all high and mighty? Talking about what my husband’s got that you like? Isn’t this it? You, you
sleazy bitch, caught red–handed and still denying it! I… I’m gonna wipe that smirk off your face!” Makenna finished
her rant and swung at Chloe’s face again.
Chloe clenched her jaw, coldly pushed Makenna, who was half a head shorter than her, away. “I told you, I have
nothing to do with your husband! Keep an eye on him yourself. Don’t drag innocent people into your mess!”
But Makenna wasn’t having it, “Innocent, you’re the other woman and you’re innocent? How many families have
you homewreckers ruined, and you’re innocent! I…”
Makenna, with her plump face, already swollen from Chloe’s punches, just kept on screaming at Chloe, non–stop.
Now, her eyes were darting all over Chloe, “Your clothes, your shoes, your ring… take them all off! You’re not
ashamed? I’m going to strip you bare today! Let everyone see how shameless you are!”
The woman kept on shrieking, getting shoved away time and again, but wouldn’t give up causing a scene. Everyone
thought her actions were utterly absurd.
Dorthy was anxious on the side, if not for the fear of a hefty penalty, she would’ve spilled the beans. And now,
seeing Makenna’s shrewish behavior, her slander against Chloe, it almost made her sick, let alone someone as
classy as Chloe.
She guessed that Chloe had never cursed someone out like this in her life, and now being slandered for no reason,
she must have been feeling utterly embarrassed. Before she met Chloe, she was already her idol, and after
spending a few days with her, she found Chloe even more admirable.
She initially thought Chloe, as the head of a big company, would be very strict with her employees, but that wasn’t
the case. She’d push her employees to work, but also occasionally allow them to rest. Her way of interacting with
people made her impossible to dislike. Such a good person being accused like this made her, a devoted fan, furious!
Dorthy was filled with bitterness, she suddenly said, “Makenna! She already said, she’s not the other woman. I know
who the real one is. Come with me to the front desk. We have all the check–in records. You can see for yourself,
who Mr. Austin really booked the room with.”
Austin and Rhoda exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of foreboding.
Rhoda pulled Dorthy aside, “Have you lost your mind? Exposing guest privacy, not only will you have to pay a hefty
penalty, but also face legal consequences.”

“But they’re way out of line! How could Ms. Summers possibly be the other woman, I came up with her! He was the
one who couldn’t figure out how to turn on the TV, kept trying to get Ms. Summers to his room, and she kept
refusing. Why… why is he suddenly accusing Ms. Summers, what the hell is he thinking? How could he do this?”
“Dorthy!”
Rhoda called her name sternly, trying to get her to shut up, Dorthy shook off Rhoda’s hand, glaring at her, “And
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou, Rhoda, what was that about? Do you also believe Ms. Summers is the other woman?”
Rhoda frowned, hesitated, then said, “…but Mr. Austin didn’t deny it just now…”
“But Ms. Summers just clearly stated she’s not the other woman!”
Dorthy cut Rhoda off angrily, “Ms. Summers has only been working at the hotel for a few days, how could she
possibly know Mr. Austin? This is her first time at this hotel, I really don’t get how they ended up booking a room
together?! Rhoda, ever since you got together with Rupin, you’ve been neglecting your work. Ms. Summers didn’t
fire you, instead chose to let you quit willingly, which was her being considerate. But you don’t appreciate it! Now
you’re even causing trouble for Ms. Summers.”
All eyes, puzzled, were on Rhoda. Each face told a different story. Rhoda’s face turned even darker. “What the hell
are you talking about? I was going to quit anyway! I have nothing to do with Ms. Summers. Why am I being dragged
into this? Am I damned if I do and damned if I don’t?”
Makenna, standing beside her, shot Rhoda a weird look, wrinkled her brows, but said nothing.
Dorthy’s cheeks puffed up with anger. “Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, my foot! You just wanted to
embarrass Ms. Summers on purpose!”
“Dorthy, don’t push it. I did it all for you! Who’s the ungrateful one here? I could have kept myself out of this. But I
helped because we used to be
colleagues!”
