Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Wronged Like a 250-Pound Fat Man
Chloe Grant and Lucas Morgan didn’t bicker like they used to today.
Even if they exchanged a few teasing remarks, it was only a few, and the atmosphere between them was evidently awkward.
The main reason was that Chloe Grant still hadn’t fully let go of her inner conflict. Pretending as if nothing had happened was already exhausting for her, and she really couldn’t manage to act cheerful.
Matthew Morgan, on the other hand, remained as quiet as ever. Whether they were awkward or noisy, as long as they didn’t disturb him, it was fine.
After dinner, Chloe Grant was about to leave when her phone rang.
She didn’t stop walking away, and seeing the series of numbers with no caller ID, she knew it was a call from her parents all the way abroad.
They hadn’t called Chloe Grant for several days either.
As she answered the phone, she quickly made her way to her villa, opened the door, didn’t even bother closing it, kicked off her shoes, and headed towards the sofa.
She flopped onto the sofa, adjusting to the most comfortable position.
"Chloe."
The voice on the phone was male, clearly her father, Mr. Grant.
Chloe Grant initially felt gloomy, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but smile, her joyful mood showing on her face right away.
"Dad, is it daytime over there?" Chloe Grant asked proactively, lying on the sofa, her legs happily swinging.
"Yes." Mr. Grant replied, then immediately followed up with, "Did you bully Lily?"
Chloe Grant’s previously eager and delighted expression suddenly froze at that moment.
Her once excitedly swinging legs also came to a halt, slumping onto the sofa.
So, the reason her father called was because of Lily Grant.
Chloe Grant didn’t respond, and Mr. Grant continued, "Your uncle has basically told me everything. Chloe, what exactly do you think you’re doing? Yes, you’re living well with the Morgan family now, but you can’t forget how you refused to go abroad to live with your uncle’s family—have you forgotten how well they treated you?
How can you be so ungrateful!"
Mr. Grant began reprimanding her over the phone, his tone clearly seething with anger.
Chloe Grant didn’t respond, her eyes reddening significantly.
She didn’t want to respond!
He was her dad, but he was siding with someone else.
Something happened, and he didn’t even bother to listen to her explanation.
"You had a meal that cost someone ten thousand dollars. Your sister is just a student; how long did it take her to save that? They may have wanted to cheer you up because they saw you were upset, but you can’t be so excessive, spending all their savings on one meal."
That wasn’t her savings; that was charged to a credit card using Chloe Grant’s money.
Chloe Grant still didn’t speak, pressing her lips firmly together.
Her father continued to lecture, accusing Chloe Grant of being heartless, forgetting the past care from Lily Grant’s family, and now that the Morgan family was backing her, she was looking down on people.
Chloe Grant originally wanted to endure it, but the tears couldn’t be controlled.
She felt as wronged as a 250-pound fat person.
Chloe Grant couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke up in dissatisfaction, "Dad, don’t you want to hear my side of the story?"
Chloe Grant felt terribly wronged.
She didn’t want to clash with her father, especially since they saw each other so rarely with him abroad, but his reprimands were too excessive, feeling nothing like her own father, as if Lily Grant was his real daughter.
Chloe Grant felt extremely wronged.
Mr. Grant only knew how to scold her, but did he know what Lily Grant had done? Did he know what his daughter had been through lately?
Her most beloved person was lured away by Lily Grant, who then flaunted and acted in front of her.
Deceived her, humiliated her.
And Chloe Grant, due to her impulsiveness and immaturity, paid the price, having a relationship with someone she didn’t even know who it was.
Did Mr. Grant know any of this?
When Chloe Grant learned the truth, she was devastated enough to want to die.
Did Mr. Grant know?
He knew nothing!
All he knew was how to scold her, only knowing how to help Lily Grant, listening to her few words, then came to condemn and reprimand her!
"Dad, I need to seriously tell you..."
"Alright, don’t say anything more. I’m sure you’ll have a bunch of excuses. I shouldn’t have let you study broadcasting, making your mouth so lethal," Mr. Grant cut her off impatiently, "I order you, go return the ten thousand dollars to Lily and apologize to her."
