    Chapter 56 She Really Wanted to Hit Someone Right Now


    After ss, Chloe saw that Icarus was still there and asked, “Waiting for someone?”


    “I’m waiting for my rtives. We have to attend a forum this afternoon,” he replied.


    “Okay, goodbye then,” she said.


    Icarus was dressed in a white casual suit, and his gold-rimmed sses reflected a gentle light as he


    called out, “Chloe.”


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “Yes?” Chloe turned her head.


    “What kind of flowers do you like?” he asked sincerely.


    “I don’t like flowers,” she replied.


    His smile froze and he fell silent for a moment.


    “I see,” he said.


    Chloe did not understand why he suddenly asked this question, but she was not going to stick around


    to find out.


    However, she unexpectedly ran into Jake.


    Holding a new set of car keys in his hand, he looked around. “Does that old lover of yours stay in this


    area?”


    This was the upscale vi area of Aesper.


    “You better watch your mouth,” Chloe said with disgust in her tone.


    As time passed, Jake’s true character became increasingly apparent to her, causing her to question


    what had initially drawn her to him.


    “If you’re afraid of others talking about what you did, then don’t do it.”


    “It’s none of your business. Don’t be like Ava, biting people like a mad dog when you see them,” Chloe


    replied.


    This reminded Jake of the incident a few days ago where he wrongly used Chloe of stealing his


    family heirloom.


    “Making mistakes is something everyone does. Ava was just extremely worried when she discovered


    that my family’s precious heirloom was missing. She didn’t


    Intentionally try to implicate you. You should take the higher road and forgive her,’


    Jake said, “Ava cried throughout the night after realizing that she had falsely used you. Besides,


    didn’t you make it out of the station unharmed?”


    “Get the f*ck out of my face!” Chloe’s face trembled with anger.


    “Coco, you never used to swear like this. Why have you changed? If it’s because of me and I’ve hurt


    you too much, I’m willing to apologize. We can’t be husband and wife, but we can still be friends or


    family. I’ll protect you like a good brother. You should leave that old man and stop angering your father,”


    Jake advised.


    Chloe picked up a stone and weighed it in her palm. Gritting her teeth, she said with a sinister smile,


    “Not only have I learned how to curse, but I also want to hit you. You’d better disappear or I won’t be


    able to control myself and will beat you until your skin. splits open.”


    She was not joking. She really wanted to hit someone right now.


    All of this was caused by Jake and Ava. How could they turn around and me her?


    In the past, Chloe thought that as long as sheplied and endured, she could earn her father’s care


    and her family’s harmony. But years had passed, and with each passing day, they just grew bolder and


    bolder, taking away all that she had held dear.


    She had learned the hard way thatpliance and endurance were useless. If she wanted what she


    desired, she had to stop at nothing and use any means necessary.


    She was determined to make them all bow down and call her “Aunt Chloe.”


    Jake recoiled in fear and called her crazy before quickly running away. From a distance, Icarus saw


    Jake running away in panic.


    “What’s got you running like you’re being chased by a ghost?” he asked, “You’re getting married soon,


    so it’s high time you matured and stopped behaving so childishly.


    Jakeughed awkwardly and suggested, “Uncle Icarus, would you like toe to our house for


    dinner? My mom hasn’t seen you in ages.”


    “I can’t. I have some business to attend to,” Icarus replied, handing him the keys to his seaside vi.


    “Have a good time with your wife.”


    “Thank you, Uncle Icarus.”


    Ava had been wanting to spend quality time with Jake in a seaside vi as a post- engagement


    celebration. Since Jake’s uncle owned one, he was nning to surprise her


    with it.


    “Oh, by the way, my mom wanted me to tell you that you’re not getting any younger, and it’s time for


    you to settle down and start a family. She has someone in mind for you, and if you’re interested, she’d


    like you to meet her,” Jake said.


    “I have my sights set on someone already,” Icarus replied, leaving Jake in shock and delight.


    “Who?” Jake asked eagerly.
