Chapter 1539

Just as the atmosphere was about to drop below freezing, he nodded slightly and said, "Let’s all sit down."

You couldn’t tell whether he was happy or not from his expression, but at least he wasn’t angry, and he didn’t show any disrespect.

Everyone sighed in relief.

Chloe Collins saw a flicker of tears in Wanda Wesley’s eyes, the tears of joy and emotion.

She was happy for her.

Dinner began, and groups of people sat down and began their conversations.

Chloe was dragged off to sit with the older women, while Alexander Foster was "kicked" off to the neighboring table, which was made up of all men.

Men drink, women chat.

Just as she sat down, Chloe overheard her cousin say, "Uncle didn’t seem to like this young lady before; did he think she was not a match for Cain?"

"I’ve already looked into it, this girl’s parents are divorced, and she comes from a poor family background. Her upbringing was very hard, completely different from Cain’s."

"That’s good in a way, complementary. Cain has always been surrounded by love; having someone like this in his life now, will show him how to love others."

"So, what does this young lady do for a living?"

"Isn’t she from the same school as Chloe, Capitol University? Nothing can go wrong with that kind of intellect! Right, Chloe?"

Chloe, who was quietly having her meal, smiled slightly and nodded.

"That’s good! She’s smarter than Cain. I was worried he wouldn’t find a smart wife!"

"You guys are so outdated! Let me tell you, this Miss Wesley owns a successful restaurant, the important thing is, she’s a senior civil servant!"

"Well, isn’t that something! She just graduated and she’s already a senior civil servant. Cain has really snagged a big one!"

"Whoa, that’s not accurate. Cain isn’t half-bad either; he’s a famous singer, an army man, with a legion of fans. Do you know how many people are appealing to him daily to return to the music scene?"

"Oh, isn’t Miss Wesley’s full name Wanda Wesley? I knew she sounded familiar. I remember now, her name was in one of Cain’s songs."

"Ah, it’s the song titled Miss Wesley! I remember now!"

"Wow, Cain is pretty romantic. I underestimated him."

...

Once women get together, the chat just keeps flowing.

Chloe was occasionally brought into their talk and she would reply casually.

She thought this was fine, doable, considering it wasn’t a frequent occurrence, and she should maintain these social niceties.

However, little did she know, the topic would shift, and the focus would be on her.

The main topic was about having children.

You should have kids early, be careful about certain things, a good-looking child and so on.

At that moment, her savior arrived.

Her beloved phone, it rang.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

She conveniently rose, casting an eye around.

Alexander Foster at the neighboring table wasn’t faring much better, as he was being pulled into drinking games by his male relatives.

Although he remained calm and composed, the drinks were being poured one after another.

She smirked, then walked towards a quieter area to answer her call.

The incoming call was from an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Beep-"

A piercing sound came through the speaker, almost causing Chloe to drop her phone.

"Who’s this?"

"At 7:40, the station, a bomb will detonate."

The voice was void of emotion, it was a robotic voice!

"Who sent you and why are you contacting me?" She quickly composed herself.

The other party didn’t say anything else, just repeated the same sentence.

Chloe’s heart clenched, she glanced at the time, it was already 7:39!
