Chapter 201



Indeed, Chloe was thinking the exact same thing. She even felt a bit relieved. So much had happened recently, almost pulling her in entirely. She had almost lost her mind, about to confess her feelings to Connor. But thankfully, fate lent her a hand. In her moment of confusion, she witnessed today's scene and was grateful that Connor had given her an answer in person.

"I'm not close with her" was his calculated choice of words. Chloe, of course, wouldn't make a scene or expose his pretense. Instead, she even helped him out. She managed to get rid of the persistent Eve and, at the same time, solidified his image in front of Diana. He must be thankful to her deep down.

Why did she do it? Her breakup with Lucas had been so undignified. She would not allow things like that to happen again.

The next day, Chloe and Tony went to Eldridge TV Station again. As expected, they ran into Claire. In the vast conference room, it was just Chloe and Claire.

"Chloe, what you did yesterday was quite disappointing to me," Claire said, seated in a luxurious leather office chair. She was still dressed in a sharp and elegant business suit, emanating an aura of superiority as she watched Chloe.

Chloe, neither servile nor overbearing, replied, "What would you prefer to see, Ms. Claire? Me claiming to be Connor's girlfriend and attacking Diana, or Diana having an asthma attack from a bouquet of lilies and being rushed to the hospital?"

A smirk appeared on Claire's lips, a hint of admiration in her eyes. "Chloe, you've really impressed me. I prefer you instead of Diana. Perhaps you are the one who could marry into the Sartori family."

"I dare not think so. Your words now are just another attempt to use me as a pawn. You don't like Diana and want to use me to get in between her and Connor. However, I have no interest in being your pawn."

Claire's gaze sharpened. "You should know that many wish to be my pawns."

"I know, but I'm not interested."

"Yet my only brother chose you, and I was unaware you've been together for over three years," Claire remarked.

Chloe figured that Clair must have

orchestrated her visit to Eldridge City. Claire's reach had silently extended into Chloe's life long ago. Chloe watched Claire steadily, feeling the intimidating aura emanating from the woman.

"Connor and I are just a fling, satisfying a mutual benefit. Our relationship.is purely for fun, with no real feelings involved. If you think of investing in me, Ms. Claire, it would be a waste of time." Chloe sigiled sincerely. "Besides, Connor and I ended everything last night."

Claire's gaze held admiration. "I like your spirit, but I dislike forcing others to do things. If one day you wish to enter this game, you're welcome to come back to me."

Chloe smiled brightly. "I don't think that day will come."

Then, Chloe took her leave. Claire watched Chloe's retreating figure, her lips curving into a meaningful smile. Then, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Is the

acquisition agreement with

Riverbrook TV Station ready?"

That afternoon, Chloe took some time off with Tony. For the next two days, she would not return to Eldridge TV. She wanted no further dealings with Claire's influence.

Fortunately, over the next two days, Cassie was by Chloe's side the whole time. Together, they went to "The Empire," a bar. It was one of the most luxurious and top-tier entertainment clubs in Riverbrook City.
