On the Day I Was Kicked Out of the Wealthy Family, I Had a Flash Marriage with a Tycoon Chapter 34: Rumors About Jasper Lockwood

Maya Jacobs chuckled. "Too bad he’s already married. The dreams of countless boys and girls are shattered."

Chloe Sterling raised an eyebrow. "Boys?"

’I can understand the girls, but boys too?’

"A top-tier, domineering CEO of his caliber is everyone’s type, of course!" Maya Jacobs said with a mischievous grin. "Want to hear a little piece of gossip?"

Chloe Sterling’s lips curved into a smile. "Sure."

"Rumor has it, a male celebrity from a dia company under the Lockwood Group once tried to seduce Jasper Lockwood. Jasper has never had any scandals or even been seen with a woman, so so people speculated he might be into n. That’s why the actor made his move..."

Chloe Sterling: "...And then?"

Maya Jacobs: "And then that male celebrity beca one of the biggest A-listers in the industry."

Chloe Sterling: "..."

Maya Jacobs smiled. "But that’s all just hearsay. There are so many rumors about Jasper Lockwood, it’s impossible to know which are true and which are false."

"What other rumors?" Chloe Sterling asked.

"Well, there’s the Eldest Miss Sinclair we saw last ti. They were supposedly childhood sweethearts, but they suddenly broke up for so unknown reason. Two years ago, Eldest Miss Sinclair left the country heartbroken. Jasper Lockwood even went looking for her, but they never got back together. Then, he turned around and married another woman."

Chloe Sterling suddenly laughed. "I never thought soone who spends all day in a lab would know so much high-society gossip."

Maya Jacobs said, "Well, life can’t be too boring. Listening to so gossip now and then is pretty interesting. If you want to hear more, I’ve got plenty."

"Never mind. I’d rather just eat my barbecue."

Chloe Sterling popped a piece of wrapped at into her mouth. If she kept listening, she’d lose her appetite.

After they finished eating, Maya Jacobs called the waiter over to pay the bill.

"Hello, your total is 526 yuan. How would you like to pay?"

"Card." Chloe Sterling took a black card from her purse and handed it to the waiter. "No PIN."

"No way, I said it was my treat—" The words died in her throat as Maya Jacobs stared at the black card, suddenly stunned. In the mont she was frozen, the waiter had already taken the card and walked away.

Maya Jacobs finally snapped out of it, looking at Chloe Sterling in astonishnt. "Is that... a black card?"

Chloe Sterling’s lips curved slightly. "Mhm. I told you, I’m not short on money. I’ve treated quite a few wealthy patients, so I have so savings."

Maya Jacobs: "...I spoke too soon."

She couldn’t believe she had overlooked Chloe Sterling’s capabilities. With skills like hers, how could she possibly be broke? She had dared to leave the Sterling Family because she had the confidence to stand on her own.

A mont later, the waiter returned with the card.

Chloe Sterling said, "Let’s go."

Maya Jacobs smiled. "Okay."

The two of them stood up and left the restaurant. It wasn’t far from The dical College, so they decided to walk back.

As they passed near an alley, Chloe Sterling faintly heard the sounds of a fight and stopped in her tracks.

Seeing her stop so suddenly, Maya Jacobs asked, "What’s wrong?"

"I hear fighting."

Maya Jacobs listened carefully. "I don’t hear anything. You must have misheard."

There was no way Chloe Sterling had misheard. She took a few steps forward, turned, and looked into the nearby alley. Sure enough, a group of people were fighting.

"There really are people fighting!" Maya Jacobs exclaid in surprise. "Isn’t... isn’t that Damian Rivers? It looks like they’re all ganging up on him, right?"

Chloe Sterling watched the scene before her. She hadn’t wanted to get involved, but Damian Rivers was clearly losing. If she didn’t step in, he was going to get beaten badly.

After a mont of silence, Chloe Sterling said, "Maya, The College is just up ahead. You go on back first."

"You’re not thinking of going over there, are you? There are so many of them... Maybe we should call the police."

"By the ti the police get here, Damian Rivers will probably be a goner."

"Who are these people? How dare they attack the Heir of the Rivers..."

As Maya Jacobs was speaking, Chloe Sterling had already started walking into the alley.

As a seemingly delicate woman, she didn’t dare go forward herself and imdiately took out her phone to call the police.

But before she could even dial, Chloe Sterling had already taken down seven or eight n, leaving them sprawled on the ground. It was clean and efficient.

Maya Jacobs’s eyes widened. ’...Holy shit!’

Damian Rivers wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared at the girl who had suddenly appeared. "What are you doing here!"

Chloe Sterling glanced at him without a word.

Damian Rivers added, "I had it handled. I was just about to take them all down."

"There’s a pharmacy nearby." Tossing out the words, Chloe Sterling turned and left.

"Wait! Do you know why I was fighting them? I overheard them saying they were going to The dical College to find a woman nad Chloe Sterling. Don’t you want to know who sent them?"

Hearing this, Chloe Sterling stopped and looked at the n sprawled across the ground.

Damian Rivers walked over to one of the n, slamd his foot on the man’s leg, and said coldly, "If you want to keep this leg, tell who sent you."

The man grimaced in pain. "Miss... Miss Sutton..."

"Which Miss Sutton? What’s her na?" Damian Rivers demanded.

"Cecilia Stone..."

Damian Rivers looked at Chloe Sterling. "You heard him."

Chloe Sterling looked down at the man, her voice cold. "Where is Cecilia Stone?"

"Her villa in The West End," the man answered.

Damian Rivers said, "You’re going after her? I’ll go with you!"

Chloe Sterling: "No need. You should worry about your own injuries first."

"It’s just a scratch, no big deal. The point is, we can’t just let this go. I have a score to settle with that woman, Sutton, too."

"What score do you have to settle?"

Damian Rivers snorted. "Her people dared to touch . They’re going to pay the price."

’Even though these guys only attacked him because they didn’t know who he was, that wasn’t important. What was important was that they, and that woman, had tried to harm Chloe Sterling. For that, they had to pay.’

Chloe Sterling understood Damian Rivers’s true intentions. She didn’t want to owe him any favors.

"Damian Rivers, my business has nothing to do with you. Stay out of it."

"I’m doing this for myself. Anyone who dares to touch has to pay the price, whether they ant to or not."

「anwhile.」

Inside Cecilia Stone’s villa, she was on her phone, her face wreathed in a sycophantic smile. "Miss Sinclair, don’t you worry. I’ll make sure that bitch Chloe Sterling is utterly ruined."

She had really had enough lately. Because of what happened before, her entire family now despised her. Her cards had been frozen, and she had nothing left but this villa.

It was all Chloe Sterling’s fault that she’d fallen this far. If her life was miserable, she’d be damned if she let that bitch have an easy ti.

She didn’t know how Chloe Sterling had offended the Eldest Miss Sinclair, but this was an opportunity for her. As long as she took care of Chloe Sterling, The Sinclair Group would give so projects to the Sutton Family.

When that happened, everyone in the Sutton Family would have to apologize to her. They would all have to treat her like royalty, and then she’d see who dared to say a single bad word about her!
