Chapter 10
Up till now, after three years of sticking by his side, she was there for Lance during his toughest times, helping him step by step to get the Olson Group back on track But what did she get in return?
Lance’s betrayal.
And that ‘you’re too cold and assertive‘ crap.
If she didn’t arm herself with that icy strength, how would she have dealt with all the obstacles and difficulties?
If she didn’t arm herself with that icy strength, who knew what kind of mess she’d be in because of that guy?
She didn’t want to be a burden to Lance if something went wrong.
but in the end, all she got was more sadness and ridicule.
She didn’t want to be so cold and assertive either, she just wanted to live like a normal woman.
To be a simple office worker, dressing up nicely, hanging out with friends to go shopping, eating, partying, and traveling.
But could she?
She couldn’t.
Not in the past, and certainly not now
Because this time, she really had no one but herself.
If she wasn’t strong, who would protect her?
In the hospital room, Chloe just sighed softly
In contrast to the quietness in Chloe’s room, next door in Keira’s room, it was packed with people
The Summers family’s grandma, Carolina Petry, father Nick Summers, mother Viviana Reeves, Lance, Blake Sanders who helped save her, friends who saved Keira, and some classmates who attended the party on the boat.
“Your sister’s too much, you apologized to her, and she splashes boiling water on you?”
“Keira, stay away from your sister. I always thought her cold demeanor was scary, and you’ll only get bullied around her
“Yeah, she’s a woman, but she’s always wearing those gloomy professional clothes. I heard she’s even tougher than the men at Lance’s company. She’s not like a woman at all. Whoever’s with her really has it rough”
Hearing this, Lance’s face turned cold.
Keira sensed Lance’s change and frowned, her face easily showing a vulnerable sadness.
“She’s still my sister, and although she seems cold and hard to get along with, she hasn’t really done anything too terrible.” Keira said.
Keira’s best friend Amelia Schneider angrily said,
“Didn’t do anything terrible? Keira, you’re just too kind. I’ve told you before, being too kind isn’t a good thing! Almost everyone in P City knows what she’s done to you! If not for her, you wouldn’t be
in this situation.”
“Enough!*
The old lady, Carolina, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. She stood up with an unhappy look on her face.
Carolina wasn’t tall, with completely gray hair neatly arranged in a bun. Although the wrinkles on her face couldn’t hide the traces of time, her eyes were still bright and full of energy
Judging from this old lady’s demeanor, she must have been a tough character when she was young.
Once the old lady spoke, her authority naturally silenced the noisy hospital room
Carolina walked up to Keira, looking at the frightened, pitiful, and somewhat hurt girl, and couldn’t help but soften her gaze.
Finally, the old lady said, ‘It’s right that you chose to keep this from the media. After all, she is also a member of the Summers family, and spreading this would only bring unnecessary trouble!”
Carolina paused, a clear disgust flashing in her eyes, as if simply mentioning her was a disgraceful thing
Keira weakly said, ‘I know, Grandma. Actually, I’m sorry for my sister. She should be mad at me, and besides, I was careless at that time.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Hearing Keira’s words, Carolina seemed to think of something and her disgust deepened
“Enough, don’t mention her anymore! Next Friday night, the CEO ceremony for the son of the Harper Group’s chairman will be held at the Watson family’s hotel. You’ll go with them!“–Carolina
