Viviana was still fussing over the gifts she was preparing for Keira. Though she had just made a firm stance, she ended up caving in.
"Don't worry, I won't regret this. As for caving in." Chloe started turning around as she finished her sentence, speaking slowly, "I am not the weakling I used to be."
Hearing this, Jonah felt a pang in his heart, his eyes moistening. He remembered how Chloe was all jittery and cautious after her mother left, and how she pleaded after everything that had happened. It felt like it was just yesterday.
Back then, her pitiful look didn't win her any chances. Chloe now was a completely different person from then.
She used to be so humble. Now, she radiated sheer determination.
"Chloe..." Jonah's voice was full of helplessness. "Don't worry, even if the Summers family goes broke, half of the assets are yours."
Chloe didn't say anything and headed to the door.
Seeing Chloe about to leave, Carolina shot up from the couch, asking Jonah loudly without any disguise, "What about the company shares? And Keira's wedding gifts, shouldn't you mention the shares?"
Jonah was so angry he was out of breath, "Carolina, I'm not dead yet! Are you trying to force your way to the shares?"
