Chloe‘s POV
I didn‘t expect that my mother would actually agree to lend me the money,I was really excited when I
got the money.
Finally, I was able to pool the one hundred million dollars. I took Raina to the set, ready to terminate the
contract for her.
But the person in charge suddenly frowned at us and said, “We just discussed and have agreed that
the damages of one hundred million dollars isn‘t enough. If you want to terminate the contract, you‘ll
have to pay three hundred million dollars.”
I was so angry that I shouted at him, “But we‘ve reached an agreement, didn‘t we? How could you go
back on your word?”
“I never agreed to that. Do you have any witnesses?” asked the person in charge.
I gritted my teeth, infuriated.
The whole set was full of their people. There was indeed nobody who would attest to my claims.
“Chloe, what should we do?” Raina‘s eyes turned red and she was looking at me for help.
At this point, I didn‘t know what to do. All of a sudden, the man‘s eyes became lustful. He eyed me up
and down, nodding in satisfaction:
Raina, why don‘t you ask your friend to shoot the porn movie in your stead? If it works out well, I‘ll
consider letting you go,” said the man.
“What? No way!” I grunted at him.
As the Moore family‘s daughter, my parents had spoiled me since I was a child. I had never
experienced something like this. I felt a lump in my throat as I grabbed Raina‘s hand, wanting to run
away. However, she shook off my hand and shoved me away.
Soon, I fell to the floor. I looked at her, horrified by what she had done to me.
“Raina, what are you doing?”
“I‘m sorry about this, Chloe.”
Raina shot me a cold glance before running away, never looking back.
The person in charge scoffed at me and said, “Raina might‘ve escaped, but I‘m okay with that since we
still have you. You‘re quite beautiful and reserved. I‘m sure lots of people will watch your porn movie
once it‘s released.”
Having said that, he gestured to someone behind me. Suddenly, a group of strong men surrounded
me. I could see the lust in their eyes.
“No! Don‘t come any closer!” I struggled desperately to escape. It didn‘t take long until my heart was
overcome with fear and despair Sadly, the men were far too powerful for me to escape them. I closed
my eyes, and surrendered to my fate, feeling only regret.
Just as those horrid men were about to tear my clothes apart, a group of people rushed in from outside.
They. knocked down the men who were attempting to rape me. I looked up and saw Charles and
Richard entering the place. a In my brother, I saw salvation from my grief, fear, and resentment.
I threw myself into Charles‘ arms and cried at the top of my lungs.
“Oh, so you‘re crying now, huh? Have I not told you to open your eyes and not trust just anyone
foolishly?” Charles sneered When I thought of how Raina betrayed me, I cried even harder
To me, she was my best friend I was devastated by the fact that she did something so terrible to me.
After I returned to the Moore mansion with my brother, I nestled in our mother’s arms and sobbed.
Surprised, my mother asked, “Chloe, what happened to you? Why are you crying . It was then that I
told her everything that happened today while crying “Mom, if Charles had come a second later, I
would’ve gotten raped!”
My mother‘s eyes were filled with disbelief
“How could that be? Aren‘t you supposed to be good friends with Raina? How could she do that to
you?”
“She deceived me. I tried my best to help her hide the fact that she starred in a porn move, and I even
helped her raise money to pay for the damages of cancelling the contract. And in exchange for my
kindness, she pushed me into a living hell and ran away with the money!”
As I gritted my teeth, my eyes were filled with nothing but hatred.
“Have you seen Raina’s true colors now?” Charles asked me.
“Raina risked her life to save the twins before. How could she be that kind of person?” my mother
asked while frowning
Did the twins stay at home during the groundbreaking ceremony on the Wilson Group‘s east bank
project?” asked Charles
“Yes.‘ my mother nodded.Did anything unusual happen at home that day?” he asked.
My mother pondered for a moment and replied, “I couldn‘t find my phone anywhere that day. I searched
for it for almost the entire day, but I still couldn‘t find it. Later in the day, I found it in a corner of the sofa.
However, it had been powered off.”
My heart sank upon hearing that.
“By the way, Raina went out frequently at the time, but she didn’t tell me where she went.”
“She also went into your study one night, Dad! She said she wanted to look for painkillers, but she
didn’t find any.” James ran over, visibly worried.
“I‘ll investigate on this matter. Don‘t trust Raina again,” Charles replied as he ruffled the boy‘s hair. I
nodded in response.
That night, I saw a piece of news on the Internet. The Hill Group issued a statement to clarify that
Raina Hill was the Hill family‘s adoptive child and she wasn’t related to them by blood, and that her
biological mother was Susan Lively.
This news soon became a hot topic on the Internet.
A lot of discussions came up about the topic.
“Have you heard about Paina‘s backstory? That poor girl! She must‘ve been so miserable.”
“No wonder she‘s fawning over Charles Moore. She just wants to have someone powerful to rely on.”
I felt really conflicted reading all the comments on the Internet.
Edward‘s POV
“Edward, why did you have to come back ahead of schedule? I didn‘t even get to pack enough stuff?”
Olivia complained
“Don‘t you want to meet the outdated female star who stole your commercial? Isn’t that what you
wanted?” I gave her a mocking look
Olivia was rendered speechless, She shook her head and said, “That’s over and done with. The
important thing now is that we celebrate Caroline’s birthday”
“You‘d best behave yourself when we get back home. Don‘t argue with Caroline. You won‘t be able to
afford the consequences,” I warned. Olivia pursed her lips and fell silent.
“Did you hear me?” I asked.
“Okay. I’ll be more careful.” Tears welled up in Olivia‘s eyes as she nodded.
“Know your place! If I can make you famous, that means I can also make you lose everything you
have.” I withdrew my gaze from her. Olivia bit her lower lip and sobbed. Suddenly, I somehow felt
suffocated. I took out the pillbox from my pocket and took out an atorvastatin.
After getting off the plane, Olivia followed behind me. The unsteady sound of her high heels tapping on
the ground told me that she was trying to keep up with my pace.
“Edward, slow down! You‘re so inconsiderate of me!” Olivia stared at me playfully. I slowed down my
pace and replied,
“I‘m going to book a cruise ship and hold a birthday party for Caroline.”
“Are you planning to hold a grand party for her?” Olivia asked, visibly surprised. I nodded in agreement.
My face was no longer as stern as it was seconds ago.
During her birthday last year, Caroline was sick, so we had a very simple birthday celebration for her. I
figured she was due for a grand birthday party to make up for it. I wanted the whole world to know that
Caroline was the apple of my eye.
They must know that she was someone that nobody, not even the most powerful men in the country,
could push around!
