Luka went to pick up the luggage dejectedly as a trace of resentment appeared on his face. ‘If it weren’t
for Chloe, I would not have ended up like this.’ However, none of these mattered anymore. Both of them
were on the same boat now, and their interests tightly bound together. It was far too late to leave now.
A sliver of resentment toward Nicole then appeared in his eyes. ‘It’s all that damned Nicole’s fault that I
end up like this. If I ever run into you in this country again, just see how I do you in!
Chloe walked out of the hotel door and hailed a taxi as she headed straight to the airport. Sitting at the
boarding gate, she angrily gave Miley a call. Upon receiving the call, Miley was surprised as she asked,
“Chloe, aren’t you filming now? Why do you have time to call mommy?
Chloe’s voice was chilly. “Mom, where’s Uncle Daniel’s daughter, Nicole, now?”
Miley asked her quizzically, “Nicole? Why are you asking for her? She isn’t even a member of the Riddle
family. You are a million times better than her, being cast for Nachelle Holder’s show at just twenty. You
can surely inherit your mother’s mantle and become the most excellent actress…”
Chloe always loved to listen to Miley blowing her trumpet, but now every single word of hers was pricking
her right in the heart, causing bursts of embarrassing pain.
Chloe could not help but interrupt her, “Mom, stop. Just tell me where Nicole is.”
Miley was surprised by her daughter’s attitude but thinking that she might be too tired from the filming,
she comforted the latter. “Chloe, don’t be like that. You’ll look very rude. If you’re tired from filming, you
can just tell mommy…”
Chloe could not stand it any longer and hung up. After a moment’s hesitation, she gave a call to Damien
instead.
As soon as the call connected, Damien’s cold voice came from the other side. “Chloe, what are you
looking for me for?”
Chloe gritted her teeth and told him the matter of her losing her place in Nachelle Holder’s production
and also the ambassadorship of JJ Johnston Group. She also added on to the story of Nicole sending
her to the police station without even mentioning that she was the instigating party
Stie thought Damien would be extremely angry hearing that and help her deal with Nicole. After all, her
father was really after her ambassadorship for Jl Johnston Group and had always asked her about the
progress through Miley. Now that the ambassadorship was good as gone, lie must be furious
She was hoping for her father to stand up for her, yet what came from the other side was wiexpreled
short silence
As Damien listened to his daughter complaining, he heard her hatred toward Nicole in her voice. He held
his aching head as his eyes glinting as he ran scenarios in his head Based on what Chloe said, she
might never be able to have anything to do with ] Johnston
Group any longer, but Nicole had a firm relationship with the Rogers family. Moreover, until now, he did
not know how Nicole got to know Mr. Ellison or those special forces and felt that her identity was
unusually mysterious.
If he could not get to the bottom of this, he would not act rashly against Nicole. In contrast, it would be
better if he could put Nicole to good use instead.
About a dozen seconds later, he thought through everything and said to Chloe on the other side of the
phone, “Chloe, as the elder cousin, you need to get along with her. Since Nicole is still immature, just be
more tolerant to her.”
‘Once I’ve climbed my way to a high enough position, my daughter will no longer need to be so
aggrieved anymore.’ He thought.
Chloe totally did not expect her father to give her such a reply. She was so apoplectic she shuddered,
and her voice turned shrill. “Dad, what is this? I’m the one being bullied by Nicole!
