In the mont after their eyes t, Chloe Grant quickly lowered her gaze, stuffing food into her mouth to hide her panic.
Her heart was pounding wildly.
Panic, fear, anger... every kind of emotion.
He acted like nothing had happened!
The day after the first ti they t, he was like this too.
After the second ti, the sa.
And now... the sa.
Chloe Grant suddenly felt a pang in her heart, a sadness, she even wondered: Does he take it for granted that she is just a substitute?
Chloe Grant blad him!
But, honestly, aside from the initial breakdown when she first found out, after taking a calming bath, Chloe realized she couldn’t entirely bla him.
The first ti, she misunderstood on her own.
The second ti, it was Lily Grant’s sche.
The third ti... she mistakenly drank so drugged wine, unknowingly.
But...
She understood the reasoning, but emotionally, she couldn’t stop blaming Matthew Morgan, nor could she face him!
"Nowadays, it’s really a ss with all sorts of things happening."
Isabella Gray was peeling shrimp for Chloe, while complaining to Mr. Morgan, "I’m warning you, if soone from the Lee family invites you to taste so fine wine in the future, you mustn’t go, or I’ll have it out with you!"
"I was just tasting wine with him, nothing else," Mr. Morgan replied, a bit exasperated.
"Even so! His character is questionable, getting involved with his adopted daughter, and now he wants to marry her, it’s the biggest joke in the entire capital! The Lee family company’s stock has been falling; just wait, by the ti the wedding takes place, the Lee family will be done for."
"That’s their business..." Mr. Morgan said, sowhat helplessly.
Isabella Gray gave him a glare.
While serving Chloe so food, she explained, "It’s that Uncle Lee who visited our ho before. He has an adopted daughter your age, and now he wants to marry her. It’s absurd!"
"They’re not biologically related... so it’s probably not a big deal?" Chloe Grant chid in.
Hearing this, Isabella Gray imdiately put on a serious expression, "How is that not a big deal? It’s a moral issue! Propriety, integrity, honor, and modesty! Relationships should align with their rightful boundaries and cannot be crossed! Doing such a thing must face consequences."
Upon finishing her words, Isabella Gray looked at Chloe, then glanced at Matthew Morgan, and bluntly said, "For instance, if you were to have a relationship with your Uncle Morgan, I would kick you out of the Morgan family and sever ties with your Uncle Morgan!"
As soon as those words were spoken, Chloe Grant visibly trembled, and the chopsticks slipped from her hand, falling to the ground.
Matthew Morgan frowned.
"Why did you speak to Chloe so bluntly?" Mr. Morgan was clearly displeased, "Look, you scared the child."
The maid had already picked up Chloe’s chopsticks and handed her a new pair.
As Chloe accepted them, her hands continued to shake.
"I’m sorry, Chloe, it’s grandma who’s too blunt," Isabella Gray quickly tried to soothe.
Chloe Grant hurriedly shook her head, yet she put the chopsticks down, "I... I really have sothing urgent to attend to, I’ve nearly finished eating, I’ll be leaving first."
As soon as she said that, Chloe Grant stood up almost as if to flee, giving Isabella no chance to refuse as she walked outside.
"Chloe?" Isabella Gray called out.
Matthew Morgan also stood up at this mont, "I need to go to the office; I’ll take her."
He said briefly, then walked outside.
As Matthew Morgan spoke, Chloe Grant was at the door, so she naturally heard him.
Without thinking, Chloe Grant ran directly outside...
