Chapter 46: Chloe Wants to Have a Private Chat
Isabe''s first reaction upon receiving the money from Emanuele was shock, followed by confusion,
and then the realization that she couldn''t ept this money.
"Emanuele, this money is yours. I can''t ept it," she said. She couldn''t take such a significant
amount of money without a clear reason, especially when she didn''t know where it came from or
how many people might have suffered for it. Besides, she wouldn''t feel at ease spending it.
"I''ve never taken back something I''ve given," Emanuele told Isabe. "Consider it for buying some
supplements for your health. You look quite pale and fragile. Eat well."
Emanuele reached out and pinched Isabe''s cheek. He couldn''t help but notice how smooth her
skin was, as silky as milk, making him want to touch it again.
His grip was a bit firm, and when he let go, it left a red mark on Isabe''s cheek. It was a sessful
attempt to kindle the fire of anger in her eyes. Emanuele couldn''t help butugh and left the room
before Isabe could confront him.
Isabe watched Emanuele''s departure, grumbled, and sighed as she rubbed the slightly sore spot
on her face. This man was indeed rough. She decided she wouldn''t feel safe keeping all that
money. She would keep a portion for herself and donate the rest to various charitable projects. She
could consider it a good deed done for Emanuele.
"Did that witche to Chicago already? And you''ve met her? Isabe, where is she? I want to rip
her apart!" Evelyn angrily eximed during their lunch break.
Isabe had told Evelyn about Chloe''s arrival in Chicago during their lunchtime break.
"Calm down!" Isabe quickly tried to soothe Evelyn.
"I don''t need to calm down," Evelyn said in anger. She had heard about some of the things Chloe
had done to Isabe, not everything but enough to make her furious. "Damn, maybe you should tell
your stepbrother about this. I hear he''s nice to you."
Emanuele had taken care of her when she was seriously ill, hadn''t he? Hearing Evelyn''s
suggestion, Isabe felt somewhat ufortable.
"I think that might not be a good idea," she hesitated. If Emanuele found out, he might use it against
her and threaten her whenever he pleased, making her life even moreplicated.
"So what should we do then?" Evelyn looked at Isabe. "You can''t be a coward. You need to stand
up. Otherwise, she''ll keep controlling you."
Forever? Isabe thought. Hopefully not.
She felt less frightened of Chloe than she used to, but seeing her after so long made her a bit
uneasy. She was confident she could handle Chloe.
"It''s not that I think, Isabe, why would she suddenlye to Chicago out of the blue? Could it be
that she''s interested in Emanuele?" Evelyn suddenly thought and felt like a genius foring up
with the idea.
"Why didn''t shee to Chicago in all these years, but suddenly, after your mother''s remarriage,
she shows up?" Isabe couldn''t make sense of Chloe''s motives.
"You mustn''t let Emanuele be with her, Isabe. Otherwise, she might poison his ears, and you''d be
in big trouble," Evelyn warned.
She didn''t know much about the world of the mafia, but she knew they could be as ruthless as
crushing an ant. Once Chloe, that nasty woman, got close to Emanuele, and if she instigated him to
torment Isabe, it would be a disaster.
"They probably won''t be together," Isabe thought, recalling Emanuele''s attitude toward Chloe at
the dinner. She didn''t believe they would be together. Maybe... they wouldn''t be together?
That evening, before leaving work, Isabe received a message from Chloe, asking her to go
shopping together.
Her body trembled uncontrobly. Evelyn took Isabe''s phone, looked at the message, and with a
mocking smile, sent a reply to Chloe: "Sorry, I''m busy!"
Then she handed the phone back to Isabe. She wanted to say something more direct like, "Get
lost, you bitch!" But she was afraid it would cause trouble for Isabe. The current Isabe couldn''t
match Chloe in a fight.
After Evelyn sent the message, Isabe was concerned that Chloe might get angry as a result.
Indeed, soon after, Chloe started frantically calling her. Isabe felt like throwing the phone away to
escape the incessant calls.
Evelyn patted Isabe''s shoulder, indicating that she should rx. "I''d love to help you block her
number, but I know you won''t do it."
Isabe couldn''t bring herself to do it, and she feared it would only make Chloe angrier.
She felt she couldn''t handle Chloe''s wrath at this moment.
On the other end of the phone, Chloe was infuriated that Isabe had refused to answer her calls.
How dare she defy her?
Why did she think she could escape her control just because she no longer lived in her house?
Chloe couldn''t help but sneer. She needed to make Isabe understand who her master was. What
a despicable person she was, even daring to defy her master''s orders. Very well!
Eventually, after three or four calls, Chloe gave up trying to reach Isabe. This relieved Isabe.
"Never mind all that, Isabe. Come on, let''s go out for dinner," Evelyn decided to take Isabe to a
restaurant to help her rx.
Isabe didn''t want to take the lead, as she felt she was not strong enough at the moment. She
believed that she could take on Chloe, but she also realized that her strength wasn''t enough.

When Isabe returned to her top-tier apartment, she was met with an unexpected visitor at her
doorstep – Chloe.
Chloe stared at Isabe with seemingly friendly eyes. "Since you didn''t want to go shopping with
me, I decided toe to you. Your mother told me your address."
Isabe''s pupils trembled. Why wouldn''t Chloe ever leave her alone?
"Let''s go, Isabe, into your apartment. I have a lot to say to you," Chloe said. She also noticed the
bodyguard apanying Isabe. She knew she had to be alone with Isabe for this conversation
to happen.
No, Isabe thought. She didn''t want to be alone with Chloe. She was certain Chloe would find
ways to punish her, just like she used to. However, despite her resistance, her actions seemed well-
trained, and she subconsciously opened the door to let Chloe in.
