    Chapter 267 Weren’t You So Affectionate Toward Karen


    “Huh? But why did you choose me instead of a celebrity?” Chloe asked bluntly and without any


    hesitation. Big brands typically opted for celebrities as their brand ambassadors, making it umon


    for them to select an ordinary person like her.


    “Because your temperament and image are more suitable to represent Exotic Star,” Noah exined in


    a calm and gentle tone. “During the exhibition, our photographer captured a series of photos, and one


    particr shot featuring you caught the attention of our designer. It left asting impression, prompting


    his strong rmendation for you to audition.”


    Chloe’s surprise turned into excitement. “Was it the renowned designer Santiago Hart?!” she squealed.


    Santiago’s name held immense weight in the fashion industry, known as a true titan with an entric


    personality and an exceptional eye for detail. To even capture his attention was a rare honor, typically


    reserved for a privileged few actors and models. In the fashion circle, there was a well-known saying:


    “If Santiago Hart sets his sights on you, it’s as if heaven itself is bestowing its blessings upon you.”


    “If you pass the audition, the contract will be for three years, and there will be an


    endorsement fee of 30 million. You’ll also receive a limited edition piece of Exotic Star jewelry every


    year,” Noah revealed.

    Chloe’s breath caught in her throat as she processed the staggering figure. “I can audition, but I’m just


    an ordinary person. I’m not worth that much money.”


    Her straightforward words amused Noah. “Even if you don’t believe in yourself, don’t you trust


    Santiago’s judgment?”


    Chloe contemted his words and replied, “You have a point.”


    Since she had already taken three consecutive days off this month, they scheduled the audition for


    Friday evening. Shortly after ending the call, Noah added her on WhatsApp.


    Chloe’s mind raced with thoughts. If she passed the audition, she would finally be able to repay the


    money she owed Joseph in one fell swoop. Determined to aplish her tasks, she remained in the


    office even after regr working hours. She sent Joseph a text, notifying him that she would be


    workingte, before immersing herself in her duties once more.


    Upstairs, Joseph, who was supposed to conclude a meeting, briefly nced at his phone and


    composedly remarked, “Keep working on finding solutions. If you can’t resolve this minor issue, you


    might as well stay in the office.”


    The executives from different departments had no option but to press on.


    It was nine o’clock in the evening, and Chloe had finally cleared her backlog of work. As she


    descended the stairs, she noticed Benjamin patiently waiting for her, unknown how long she


    had waited. She paused, a faint smile gracing her lips.


    Benjamin’s face lit up with an awkward smile as he spotted Chloe. “Why did you block my number?”


    Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise as she replied, “I blocked you three months ago. Did you just notice it


    today?”


    Benjamin, knowing he was embarrassed, changed the subject. “I’ve divorced Karen, and I


    kicked Ava out as well. Why don’t you move back in? I’ll hand over thepany to you as well.


    “I


    Chloe asked, her expression feigning surprise, “Why? Weren’t you so affectionate toward Karen?”


    Benjamin’s face alternated between pale and flushed, indicating his fluctuating emotions, in a moment


    of frustration, he kicked the nearby tree trunk. “Don’t mention those bitches. Ava isn’t even my


    daughter.”


    and


    “Oh, I see. So, you’reing to me now because you have no offspring and are worried about being


    alone in your old age?”


    “Coco, how could you speak to your father that way?”


    “Isn’t it true? If Karen and Ava were still around, you wouldn’t even spare me a thought.”


    “The past is in the past. We share the same blood, and family shouldn’t harbor grudges. While Fairlight


    is a decentpany, working for others can’tpare to the potential of building a family business.


    Spare a thought for your father,e back to the Johnson Group, and I’ll give you the position of


    manager.”


    Chloe lowered her gaze, concealing her underlying resentment. When she lifted her head again, a


    smile adorned her face. “You’re absolutely right, my dear father. If I return, does that mean I’ll also be


    entitled to some of thepany shares?”
