    Chapter 70 Marrying Peter


    “Of course.”


    “Goodness me. He’s young, rich, and handsome. The female employees at Fairlight are so lucky to see


    him from time to time. Who knows. They might even get a chance to get up close and personal with


    him.”


    “Those female employees are nothingpared to you. Your uncle is a manager at Fairlight, and


    there’s a chance he might be able to transfer you to his department. You’re beautiful, and with a little


    effort, you could easily captivate him… Oh, wait, I forgot. Your uncle was fired because of Chloe’s


    scheming.


    “When I think about it, you’re the one who got the short end of the stick. You missed out on a good


    match…”


    Melody was so angry that she could barely contain herself. “I don’t know what’s so good about that


    b*tch. Why are there people standing up for her?”


    “It’s not just someone standing up for her. There are plenty of people who like her. Do you still


    remember Peter? He was Chloe’s college coursemate, and he confessed his love to her a few days


    ago.”

    Melody was filled with rage, feeling that the world was so unfair. People like her who truly needed love


    did not receive any, while that little sl*t Chloe had men swarming around her every day.

    As she seethed with jealousy, Ava said slowly, “I have a way to make Chloe’s behind-the -scenes


    benefactor abandon her. This way, she’ll never be able to hold her head up Aesper again.”


    “What’s the n? I won’t be a part of it if there’s any risk involved.”


    Melody had learned her lesson and did not immediately agree.


    “There’s zero risk. I want you to help me contact Peter. He knew Chloe in college and must be aware


    that we don’t get along. Get him toe, and I’ll ‘create’ an opportunity for them…’


    The next morning at nine o’clock, Miles contacted Chloe and agreed to meet her at noon. When she


    saw the address he sent her, she frowned.


    “Didn’t we agree to meet at yourpany? Why did you send me the address of a house by the


    seaside?”


    “I have a client here and can’t leave.”


    “Why a house by the seaside though?”


    “Well, where else are we supposed to talk? In the middle of the street? Besides, your father will be


    there. Are you afraid I’ll bully you?”


    Chloe furrowed her brow. She did not want to create any unnecessary trouble and agreed to meet him


    there.


    In the afternoon, she hailed a cab and headed to her destination after finishing up her morning tasks.


    Arriving at the seaside vi, she found the front door ajar and no one inside.


    Miles had yet to arrive.


    She wandered around the yard, and after about ten minutes, Benjamin arrived. Her face was devoid of


    expression and her eyescked the respect and anticipation that had once been there, reced now


    by an overwhelming sense of disappointment.


    Benjamin had received Chloe’ste mother’s money the previous month, so he had been in good


    spirits. He ignored her, humming a tune as he strolled about.


    Five minutester, both Benjamin and Chloe received a text message from Miles, informing them of a


    last-minute change of address. Benjamin’s message arrived slightly faster, and he was the first to step


    out the door.


    Chloe followed closely behind, but as she took her final step, the door mmed shut with a resounding


    “thud.” Her eyes widened, and she pushed hard against it.


    “Don’t waste your energy. You’re not going anywhere.”


    Ava emerged from an adjoining room. Holding a ss of red wine in her hand, she looked rxed as if


    she were in her own home.


    Chloe tensed up as she stared at Ava warily. “What are you doing here?”


    “Why can’t I be here?” Ava retorted, pausing for a moment before smiling. “Also, there’s someone I


    want to introduce you to.”


    Chloe remained silent, scanning her surroundings for a way to escape. Ava was confident that she


    could not get out and chatted with her as if they were old friends catching up.


    “Peter’s family lives in a vige two thousand kilometers away. There’s no electricity or signal there.


    After marrying him, you’ll probably have to take care of his parents. It’s


    fine for you to stay In Aesper for now, but if he loses his job one day and takes you back


    to his hometown, I wonder if you’ll be able to adapt to life in the countryside.”
