"What are you doing here?" She said, stepping back two steps, once again putting distance between herself and Lance. A sarcastic and indifferent look was on her face as she continued, "Did you come to settle scores with me because I ruined your engagement ceremony with Keira?"
Her deliberate alienation filled Lance's heart with a bitter taste that was hard to disguise, "No."
Chloe raised an eyebrow, "So, is it because Keira was so upset she ended up in the hospital, and you're here to blame me?"
Lance felt a splitting headache. Chloe's words made his chest ache.
"No, Chloe, that's not it. I came to apologize to you." Lance said.
"Apologize?!" Chloe suddenly interrupted Lance coldly, "Other than your cheating, what else is there to apologize for?"
Then, Chloe sneered again, "Are you here on behalf of Keira?"
A deep bitterness emerged in Lance's eyes, "About the engagement ceremony, I never intended to blame you. I really didn't know that Keira would do something like that.”
"There’s so much you don’t know!" Chloe began to ascend the stairs. "Maybe, you really love her, enough to believe everything she says. Even when you clearly have doubts, you still come up with countless excuses for her. Isn't Keira supposed to be innocent and kind? And I’m too cruel and cunning? Keep thinking like that! It might make you feel better! I won't accept your apology, even if Keira herself comes, I won't.
"Chloe, just tell me, why did you do it." Lance's handsome face was filled with a look of defeat.
Chloe took a deep breath, but still couldn't help but angrily say, "I just wanted to make Keira suffer! If Keira hadn't sent that kind of photo to provoke me the night before your engagement, your ceremony yesterday would have been grand and perfect, the envy of all! She brought it on herself, if I didn't retaliate at the right time, wouldn't I be wasting her good intentions? You blame me? On what grounds? Isn't this her just desserts?"
Lance's face gradually turned pale. This all seemed to be within his expectations, he looked somewhat dazed, the pain and defeat on his face more prominent.
Chloe took the opportunity to forcefully pull her hand back, looking at him coldly, "Go back and comfort your pure, kind and gentle true love, don't let her disappoint you at the Fragrance Frenzy!"
