When Chloe arrived at the Summers' house, it was already past seven.
The living room of the Summers’ house was brightly lit. Everyone, except Old Mr. Summers, was sitting on the sofa, looking a bit off. They had been waiting for Chloe for over two hours, not even having dinner. Chloe was over two hours late!
They knew Chloe did this on purpose, but they were still pissed off.
"Keira, go get your grandpa!"
Ignoring them, Chloe walked to the sofa and sat down, placing her handbag aside and crossing her legs, her cold eyes scanning everyone.
"Shall we get straight to business? Have you guys had dinner?" Chloe asked.
Viviana hurriedly responded with a gentle smile, "Not yet, we knew you were coming back, so naturally, we were waiting to eat with you."
Chloe nodded and replied with a faint smile, "Oh, I see. But I have already eaten on my way here."
Viviana's face immediately changed; seeing Chloe's smile, she felt like Chloe was gloating and being sarcastic.
Chloe was clearly making them starve on purpose!
Viviana was biting her teeth in anger, but she still kept her cool, just smiling awkwardly. Then she glanced at Carolina and Nick. Though she didn't say anything, she acted like she was treated with injustice.
Viviana knew that being a stepmother wasn’t a walk in the park. Even though she despised Chloe, she couldn't confront her directly. Her goal was to make Carolina and Nick hate Chloe even more.
Viviana looked at her in surprise, taken aback by her sudden gentleness, "Not at all, we are family after all."
Family...
Chloe lowered her head, gently smoothing out her skirt, but she didn't say anything, just smiled. What an irony.
Just then, Keira led Jonah in from the porch of the backyard.
Chloe stood up and greeted Jonah with indifference. Jonah looked at her seriously and then sat down on the sofa, it was the head of the family's seat.
Jonah looked serious, sitting upright, emanating the aura of the head of the family.
