Doctors came in one after another, and Seth seemed to have completely calmed down.
He stood by the bed with a gloomy expression, silently observing every move of the doctors with a penetrating gaze.
Samuel stood aside, his eyes occasionally glancing at the deformed paper ball clenched in his hand. Peeking through the gap at the woman on the bed, he still felt a lingering shock in his heart.
"Go clean up the apartment in Emerald Valley Estates."
It took a while before Seth's voice slowly rose, tinged with a hint of gloom.
Samuel straightened up, responded in a low voice, and then turned to leave.
…
Even though Chloe was inconvenienced, she still accepted several interviews. Since they were all sitting, it didn't have much of an impact.
When she got back to the office after the hustle and bustle, ready to pack up and return to the company, she casually picked up the phone on her desk.
Upon opening it, she found over fifty calls, messages, WhatsApp messages, emails... almost every possible form of communication app was filled with messages.
And they were all from the same person.
"Chloe, you lied to me."
"Chloe, who are you engaged to?"
"Chloe, I'm going to send you a code."
"Chloe, you just wait."
Chloe touched her forehead helplessly. This man, was he a bit too free now?
She tossed her phone into her bag and had her assistant drive her home.
Because work was so hectic recently, even though she was injured, she couldn't stop. Luckily it was just a minor sprain, and she would be better in two days.
Damon only called her once when he arrived at his grandpa’s, and then he hadn't contacted her for several days.
She was a bit hesitant to call him first.
Before he left, he had mentioned that his grandfather was sick. She was concerned that if she called him, Damon might be in the ward and it would disturb his grandfather's rest.
Sometimes she would send a message, and then it would take a long time to get a simple reply.
Chloe felt a bit uneasy as Damon's responses to her questions were always very brief.
The new product Firefly was officially launched today, and Damon had everything arranged long ago.
On the first day of its launch, the mall was packed with people.
The product was in high demand.
Seeing this momentum, Chloe decided to produce the next batch.
The success of Firefly was unprecedented, and all the famous fashion magazines reported on it globally.
For a while, Star was almost the trendsetter of the entire fashion industry. From her designs, to her story, even her fashion style, all became a benchmark in the fashion circle.
However, no one could replicate that unique charm she possessed. Someone even tried to copy the dress she wore at the awards ceremony, but they found themselves unable to pull it off.
The dress may look just as stunning, but something just felt off, the difference was too great.
For her sharp criticism of Keira at the award ceremony, Chloe gained many nicknames.
The most frequent one she heard was "The Heartless Lady".
As for this title, Chloe just gave a slight smile.
Alyssa handed over half of the orange to Hannah with a smile.
"Have an orange."
The two old ladies had been together for many years. Seeing the orange Alyssa handed over, Hannah didn't think twice and took a bite.
Chloe didn't even get a chance to signal her.
Upon biting into it, Hannah's eyes scrunched up. Her face already had a few wrinkles, and now it looked rather comical.
Seeing this, Alyssa started laughing, and Chloe couldn't help but join in.
Granny Harper was really too adorable. She even played pranks with such joy.
Hannah managed to swallow the orange. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, "Alyssa, you're joking again!"
Alyssa was laughing heartily, "It's all your fault for buying such sour oranges."
Hannah blinked in confusion, "I didn't buy any oranges?"
"Oh? Then who bought this?"
Chloe laughed awkwardly at the side, "I bought them..."
Alyssa and Hannah both turned to look at her.
Alyssa frowned at her, "Alright, so it was you who was playing a prank on us."
Chloe quickly waved her hands, feeling a bit helpless.
"No, really, I'm not kidding! I specifically tasted it! I think I've been duped by that seller. They deliberately let me taste a very sweet orange and then sold me sour ones. Granny Harper, I got conned by a dishonest merchant this time."
