With that said, she took a step forward and walked out.

Charles Carrington concentrated his gaze on her thigh below her short skirt, and there was actually a large area of bruising.

Chloe Collins understood, had no more thoughts of teasing Charles, and chose not to pressure him any further.

She said to Alexander Foster, "I’ll take her home."

Alex knew he wasn’t suitable to be there, so he nodded.

Next to him, Charles had already lit a cigarette.

Meeting Alex’s eyes, he knew he had to say something, so he told him the whole story.

"I won’t be taking any cases this year, and you know why." Charles slowly exhaled a blue and white mist, his eyes getting deeper.

Alex naturally knew, and this was common knowledge among their close friends.

In the car, Layla Lowell was changing her clothes.

She was not used to wearing such ladylike clothes and was uncomfortable all over. After taking them off, she finally felt much more relaxed.

Chloe was driving in the front.

"Really giving up?"

Layla, lying weakly on the back seat, "Mmm."

Earlier, she had really reached her limit, and she had never been so humbled.

In addition, she didn’t like to force people.

"Let’s call it a day. If Charles doesn’t take the job, we’ll go find his rival. Does he have a rival?"

Chloe turned a corner, her red lips curling up, "He does, but he retired last month."

Pausing, she continued, "Don’t worry, since I promised to help you regain the Lowells, I will definitely do it. Charles may be the top choice, but he’s not the only one. With him, the success rate would be higher, but without him, it’s not impossible."

Layla, delighted, poked her head out from the back, "So, do you already have someone in mind?"

"Mmm."

Layla felt relieved, "Sigh, I cried so much earlier, now I’m hungry. Can you pull the car over for me, I want to buy something."

"Let’s go together." Chloe parked the car by the side of the road.

Both of them set their eyes on the street food.

Although they hadn’t eaten for a long time, it didn’t affect Chloe’s appetite at all.

Those who knew her joked that she had two stomachs – one for meals and one for snacks.

Now, it was snack time.

After they had eaten their fill, the two drove to a base in the suburbs.

That night, the two planned to spend the night at the base.

At nine o’clock, Chloe went back to her room to take a shower and came out ten minutes later, sending a message to Heijii.

It was a gift list - she was going to buy gifts for Alex.

He had given her a gift, and she should repay the favor.

However, just a second after sending the message, she suddenly withdrew it.

After thinking for a while, she put her phone aside and turned on the television.

It happened to be time for the night news.

[Recently, the regulatory bureau received another anonymous report containing a large amount of evidence of fraud and substandard materials by XX building materials company. The relevant departments have already intervened in the investigation. The public suspects that this time’s evidence is again the work of the Hacker Hunt, who has received a lot of praise and is considered a hero. The Hacker Hunt first appeared two years ago during the 2.15 Migrant Workers’ Wage Arrears Incident, when he used his internet skills to help the masses quickly find the boss who had fled with the money...]

Chloe turned off the television.

She picked up her phone and sent a message-

[Did you do something good again?]

[Van: Did you see the news? Hahaha, they’re all saying it’s you...]

[Next time leave some clues, I don’t want to take credit for your work, it could be disastrous.]

[Van: It’s alright, I’m happy to share.]

Chloe didn’t reply.

A second later, the other party sent another message-

[Van: I heard you participated in the Chemistry competition, you must be able to get a guaranteed spot in Capitol University. I’ll be waiting for you there!]

[No, I might not go there.]

[Van: (Surprised) Are you planning on studying abroad?]

[No, I might go to Orlando, too.]

[Van: Orlando is far from home, are you sure you want to go?]

Chloe thought of her initial promise to someone, and considering this question, she still wasn’t quite sure.

[We’ll see when the time comes, I can’t be sure now.]

(Goodnight.)
