Chapter 289
She was glued to her phone when a gruff voice came from nearby
“Can’t you just stop for once?”
“Stop? Philip, don’t you think you’re crossing the line? You’ve been keeping our relationship a secret
just so you can look good with Keira in public. You said it was for publicity. I bought your bullshit once,
twice, even three or four times, but I can’t keep doing it forever! Today she was wronged, and you
immediately jumped to her defense? You even dragged an innocent
person into it…”
“How many times have I told you? We’re just classmates!” Phillip kept his voice low, but his angry roar
still gave Chloe a start.

unconditionally accepted the role in Above the Cloud, you put in ten million just to get Keira on the
team?!”
You’re spying on me?!”
“Do you realize you have another movie to prepare for? One million, let alone ten million, is a
substantial expenditure for us. We’ve been preparing for two years, and now you suddenly pull out ten
million just to buy Keira a role!”
“Philip, what’s the point of doing all this? She’s just using you! Her fiancé doesn’t have money? Is
Lance really unable to cough up a mere ten million? Because you’re such a do–gooder..”
“Shut up! Crysti, enough is enough! If you want to stick around, then behave. If you’re going to cause
trouble, then leave. I didn’t ask you to follow me around all day, and honestly, it’s annoying!”
After Philip’s low growl, there was the sound of a car door slamming shut. A black sedan sped off
towards the gate.
Chloe walked down the steps with an indifferent expression, sure enough, Crysti was still standing
there. A lonely woman, abandoned by Philip
Chloe never had the extra energy to worry about others, but seeing that woman standing in the corner,
still straight–backed, stubbornly refusing to shed a tear, it tugged at her heartstrings.
It was like seeing her past self. No matter how much pain or suffering she went through, she was
always too stubborn to shed a single tear.
Maybe she heard footsteps, Crysti looked up.
“Are you here to pity me?”
Chloe gave a small smile, “You’re overthinking. There’s nothing about you that’s worthy of pity. I don’t
have the time or energy to feel sorry for someone who has nothing to do with me.”
Crysti gave a cold laugh, “You really are unlikeable. No wonder everyone likes your sister more.”

precious! I hope I can find that person and grow old together. That’s my only goal now, and my lifelong
pursuit.”
“Winning over one person’s heart, growing old together…”
Crysti sneered sarcastically.
Chloe seemed to know what she was thinking, and continued, “The catch is, that person has to be your
other half.”
After a long silence, Crysti took a deep breath and looked at Chloe defensively, “Did you need
something from me?” Chloe’s expression was blank, her gaze fixed on Crysti. The casual chat from
before was suddenly replaced by a tense silence.
“I really like you.”
