Chapter 59
Grittin softened the expression on his face and raised his hand to pat Chloe’s shoulder. “We were just worried that you were too naive and might be deceived. That’s why we wanted to know where you spent the money”
Chloe bit her lips, as if suppressing some emotion.
But in the end, she couldn’t suppress it and leaned on Felicity’s shoulder, crying out loud. “Dad, Mom, the night before last, I had dinner with Ethan’s friends, but unexpectedly, I ran into Sophia.
She–she still has deep feelings for Ethan and wants to cling to him, even going so far as to do wrong things, using another man to get close to him….
I wanted to advise her not to do things that would ruin her reputation because she was once a Stewart. Even though she has left, people will laugh at us if she causes any scandal. But she wouldn’t listen and even instigated that man to lay hands on
me…
Ethan was beaten by that man while protecting me. He bled a lot and was sent to the hospital first. At that time, his friends had ordered their food at the restaurant. After he left, I had to stay to handle the aftermath. I didn’t expect them to cost me as much as two million…
I was already there. If I didn’t pay the bill, I was afraid it would affect Ethan and make people laugh at my family…”
Felicity was filled with rage as she hugged her daughter tightly. “That wretched girl Sophia again? She has stooped so low and eyen tried to hurt you?”
As for Griffin, upon hearing that the money was spent on Ethan, his expression completely softened.
As long as it was spent on Ethan, they would certainly find a way to get it back.
As for Sophia…
“Which man had her back? How dare he even hit a Baker?” Griffin’s eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Naturally, Chloe couldn’t reveal Tristan’s name. She knew very well that Griffin was a profit–seeking man.
If Griffin found out that Sophia had gotten close to Tristan, he would certainly find a way to bring her back.
Chloe had gone to great lengths to drive Sophia out of the Stewart Family, so she would never let her have a chance to
return.
Chloe sniffed, her long eyelashes damp with tears, looking pitiful. “Sophia wanted to teach me a lesson. Ethan was just accidentally hurt. Forget it, Dad. Sophia is already pitiful.”
As she spoke, she bit her lower lip, looking at Griffin with tear–filled eyes. “Dad, the two million… I’ll find a way to earn it back. I’m sorry for spending so much money without informing you…”
“Pitiful? She chose to do something so disgraceful, ruining our family’s reputation. How is she pitiful?” Felicity gnashed her teeth with anger at the mention of Sophia. She snorted, patting Chloe’s hand, “Sophia has already returned to her home and has nothing to do with our family. Pretend you don’t know her when you see her in the future!”
“Forget about the money. You don’t have to do anything. Spend as much as you want. This is your home! Besides, you’ve just come back home. How could you earn two million?”

Chloe raised her hand to wipe her tears, her reddened eyes looking at Felicity. With tear–filled eyes and a heart–wrenching smile, she said, “Mom, you probably don’t know, do you? I studie fashion design before and won quite a few awards. A senior of mine will return to the country tomorrow, saying she wants to run a fashion design studio with me. Once the studio is established, it will start profiting.”
“Senior? Studio?”
Felicity’s first reaction was that those suspicious–looking people Chloe knew in the slum were now thinking of ways to profit from her since she had returned to the wealthy Stewart family.
It wasn’t surprising that she would think that way.
After all, Chloe had grown up in such an environment in the past twenty years, and certainly, the friends she associated with were not good.
Even if that senior could go abroad, no one could tell what she relied on, or what means she used.
Griffin naturally shared the same thought with Felicity. “Chloe, we’ll support you if you want to invest or start a business, but… investment carries risks, especially involving partnerships. You are too naive and easily deceived
Ultimately, they still minded the environment in which Chloe grew up.
So they ignored what Chloe said about “fashion design” and “having won quite a few awards“.
Chloe had a knack for reading people’s minds, so she knew what Griffin and Felicity were thinking by looking at them.
She felt a bit annoyed and didn’t even notice her sharp nails digging deeply into her flesh.
‘I also wish I’d grown up in a wealthy family like the Stewart Family and become a real socialite!
But is it my fault?
The wrong person is that vile woman, Sophia’s mother, greedy and vain, who swapped me with Sophia!
And that made me live a life of twenty years in a slum,‘ Chloe thought.
However, no matter how resentful she felt inside, Chloe dared not show any sign of it. With her moist and beautiful eyes wide open, she said innocently, “Dad, Mom, rest assured… Oh, did I forget to tell you who that senior is?”
Griffin and Felicity were indifferent.
‘No matter who it is, they can’t cheat money from us!‘ they thought.
“The Roscente Family of Virelia, have you heard of them?” Chloe asked.
Griffin became solemn. “The richest family?”
“Yes.” Chloe’s eyes were still red, but they gleamed with excitement. “That senior of mine is the daughter of the Rosettes.”
“Sandra Roscente?” Griffin tensed up, sat up straight abruptly, and looked at Chloe nervously.
Chloe nodded, her eyes full of admiration for Sandra. “She is amazing, having just participated in the fashion show in Nordoch. She is preparing to return home to develop her career and specially called me to ask if I wanted to work with her.”
Sandra is the only female descendent of the Roscente Family, the wealthiest family composed entirely of men. It’s said that

she’s the apple of their eye!
Chloe actually knows the daughter of the Rosettes!‘ Griffin thought.
4.78%
Griffin’s look toward Chloe changed instantly. He held her hand and said excitedly, “Good girl, like father, like daughter! Good, good! You should follow Miss Roscente, and no matter how much money you need, I’ll support you!”
“That’s the wealthiest family!
We don’t even have the honor to meet them!
Now, through Chloe, we can get to know the daughter of the Rosettes and cooperate with them.
Could we possibly soar to great heights?‘ Griffin thought.
He never expected that his daughter, who grew up in a slum, could be outstanding enough to become friends with the daughter of the Rosettes!
