The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 626

Chloe said disdainfully, "Annalise's father didn't pass away. Instead, he saw through Annalise and her mother's true colors. He realized how terrible their characters were, and every day spent with them was torture for him. That's why he abandoned them."

When I heard Chloe's words, I immediately put my phone down and stormed toward the entrance. I couldn't believe how Chloe began to spread such groundless rumors about me.

Meanwhile, Zane neither acknowledged nor dismissed Chloe's statements. He said calmly, "Go on."

Chloe continued, "Her mother is like a parasite. When Annalise first married my son, she didn't have a job and was just a housewife. She always asked my son for money to give to her mother."

Then, Chloe sneered and added, "Honestly, how do women like that even exist? Doesn't she know how hard it is to make a living?"

Chloe felt bad for Steven. When I got outside, I caught the tail end of Chloe's statement. Then, I spat, "Are you saying that I was living off your son's money?"

"Of course! If not that, then what?" Chloe replied confidently.

I couldn't help but laugh at how certain Chloe sounded. I said, "Why don't you call your son over? We can go over every expense together to see how much of his money I spent!"

"You brought this on yourself!" Chloe declared smugly.

Chloe believed that since Steven's annual income was high, Annalise must have been living a life of luxury even if Steven had only given her a small allowance.

Initially, Chloe had been worried that Zane might not believe her claims. But now that Annalise had shown up and demanded proof, she felt bold. She thought that if Steven came and exposed Annalise with her expenses, Zane would finally know how reckless Annalise was with money!
