Chapter 76
Chloe stiffened the moment Ethan touched her.
She bit her lips, her trembling eyes giving herself away.
The Ethan she knew was always honest and upright; he hated any lies.
Then, the truth was, while he was hospitalized, Chloe went to the auction with Xandra Roscente behind his back.
He was bound to flare up if he found out.
She could feel a simmering aura around him, yet he showed nothing.
Well, in fact, that made it all the more terrifying
Chloe held her breath and asked tentatively in a low voice, “But Ethan, why you’re…
“No matter where you are, no matter the time, it’s only right I come pick you up. You have to remember that now, I’m your fiancé,” Ethan answered thoughtfully, and tapped on her nose.
He relished Chloe’s delicate face and fancy dress, and complimented her with tender eyes. “You look beautiful tonight.”
Chloe almost got lost in those eyes that could fit in the whole universe. Her cheeks turned even rosier.
However, there was one thing she ignored: If Ethan really cared about her, how come he didn’t notice the palm mark on her, face!
That slap was not light.
If left her face swollen even then.
Yet, Ethan didn’t mention a word about it.
Chloe instantly buried her head into Ethan’s arms, her voice sickeningly sweet. “Ethan! Xandra is still here…”
Because of Ethan…
Xandra finally stopped in her tracks.
She squinted and scanned Ethan from head to toe, feeling quite amused.
When Chloe mentioned her name, Xandra crossed her arms, cocking an inquisitive eyebrow at the couple.
Only then did Ethan look up in her direction.
Immediately, he curled his lips slightly. “Hi, I’m Ethan Yates, Che’s fiancé. I’m from Baker Group.”
“Baker Group?” Xandra glanced up and down at Ethan.
Although he looked tired and disheveled, and he was wearing hospital gown underneath? The watch on his wrist was… worth millions.

Chapter 76
She let out a light snort, smiling with indeterminate meaning, “Chloe, guess you’re lucky. You found your wealthy parents and even got yourself a rich husband.”
These words were somewhat insulting.
Chloe turned pale.
Before she was recognized by the Stewart Family and was still the poor little thing of the slurs, she was already with Ethan. which indeed could be considered lucky of her.
But then….
She was the a real Stewart, married to Ethan as she should.
Therefore, Xandra was hinting that Chloe was still humble in her eyes.
Even calling Chloe a fellow apprentice, Xandra looked down on her inside.
“I’m afraid that’s not true, Miss Roscente. Ethan patted Chloe’s back. “I think no one has better luck than you.”
Xandra raised her eyebrow. “You know me?”
“The young lady cherished by all in the richest Roscente Family. You’re famous throughout Virelia and even Perino.” Ethan smiled slightly.
These words clearly pleased Xandra.
She relaxed her knitted brows and held her head up even higher
That was for sure.
Xandra was the apple of the Roscente Family’s eye, the only one loted on by the entire Family.
This young man from the Baker Family….
He seemed to have sharp eyes..
“Baker Family… very well, I remember it,” she said with a carelesstone, a smile on her lips.
Ethan’s eyes brightened slightly.
To be remembered by the Miss Roscente!
That was the first step to his master plan!
As long as Miss Roscente was willing to help, given her favored status in the Roscente Family, any problem could be resolved!
The smile on Ethan’s lips deepened, just as he was about to say mething.
In his arms, Chloe suddenly looked up, a hint of panic on her delicate little face.
She turned around and clung to Ethan’s arm, showing off their intimacy. “Ethan, she’s not only a Roscente, but also engaged
to Tristan!”

Upon hearing this, Xandra rolled her eyes at Chloe.
She sneered. “Chloe, now rest assured, I have no interest in other girls‘ men, especially men like… him.”
She gave Ethan a scornful once–over. “I guess only you will treasure him so much, I think he’s got nothing on Tristan.”
Xandra was always self–centered and paid no mind to how hurtful her words were.
She’d get better use of her time.
Besides…
She was the young miss of the Roscente Family.
The Baker Family? Pfft… Who were they anyway?
And Chloe was just a disgrace.
Xandra pursed her lips in disdain and turned to leave without hesitation.
She strutted into her car like a queen and drove away.
Ethan and Chloe were left there, both embarrassed and speechless.
The one who turned livid was Ethan.
And the one who flushed was Chloe.
Chloe bit her cherry lips, and her hands clutching Ethan’s arm even turned pale while a teardrop hung at the corner of her
суе.
In fact, when seeing Ethan greet Xandra, Chloe was indeed flustered.
She feared that Ethan might like Xandra, might fall for Xandra, and abandon her just like he did with Sophia.
She knew Ethan too well.
Morcover, Ethan didn’t come here to pick her up; he was targeting Xandra.
Everything he did was to attract Xandra’s attention.
Chloe was really scared.
That was why she deliberately mentioned Tristan’s name, implying that Ethan should not have inappropriate thoughts for Xandra.
But… what she didn’t expect was that Xandra would embarrass her in public.
Xandra’s car drove out of their sight.
Ethan then shook off Chloe’s hand and turned around with a blank expression.
Chloe panicked and hurriedly caught up, explaining. “Ethan, I, I didn’t mean it; I just…”

With a dark expression, Ethan snapped through gritted teeth, “That’s Xandra Roscente! From the richest family in Virelia! you can connect with her, and you’re sucking up to her, you should stick to it! What were you doing just now?”
Chloe’s eyes turned red, her voice choked. “I, I wasn’t… I just wanted to introduce you guys to each other. I didn’t know she’d…”
She obviously couldn’t admit her inner thoughts just now, and could only emphasize her innocence.
