Chloe felt terrified but she knew exactly how to wiggle herself freely from him…or so she thought as she asked, "George, why are you here?" "Following you!" George chuckled weirdly, scaring Chloe even more. "You are Damien, huh?" George asked curiously and Damien only shook his head in affirmation. "You must be the one always serving her. You both seem quite close." George said as he gently shoved Chloe aside and moved closer. Chloe's heart thumped in her chest as she feared the worst and all sorts of thoughts went through her mind. 'Could he have possibly seen the camera and he hid it well from me this morning.' 'Or Maybe his guards found out about me and Blake.' "Y-yes sir." Damien stuttered, jolting Chloe from her thoughts. "If that is the case, serve us her usual meal!” He suggested as he gently patted his shoulder, and Damien’s eyes widened in shock as he had never served her before. “George, what’s your problem? You’re intimidating that kid.” Chloe complained. “I’m not

"Hilda, this is the last time I'm going to ask you. What the hell are you hiding from me?" Dawson asked curiously. "Father…the last time I visited my parent's home, I took out a file from the briefcase Dad asked me to deliver to you." Hilda began to explain. "And what file is that?" Dawson asked, still very angry. "It's…it's the slush fund file…" "Chloe, excuse us." Dawson quickly interrupted Hilda upon hearing the gravity of the conversation.Chloe decided to play the dumb lady they take her to be and quickly turned away but Dawson called back to her, saying, "And please, get Sebastian to meet me in my study." "Okay, Father." She said and continued walking away. Hilda, who was still trying to prevent herself from getting into trouble with him, continued to explain herself, "Father, I swear it wasn't my fault. Sebastian was the one who wanted to use it against you."Hilda continued to explain herself until Chloe couldn't hear them any longer.Chloe was surprised by the informat

Chloe briefly stopped breathing upon hearing Ruby's statement. "A– Am I?" She let out a gasp that made Zane chuckle. Ruby sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck as she mumbled, "That's not how I wanted it to sound but…I think you're overreacting— kinda." "Am I?" Chloe asked again, not sure what to say. As nervous as she looked, Zane knew Chloe was finding it hard to save herself from these suspicions so he decided to come to her rescue. "Chloe was with him when he was attacked. I hear she is very fragile and caring. Don't you think that explains her overreaction?" He asked, leaving Ruby to think for a while. 'Fragile! Is that what he thinks of me? No wonder he is always rude.' Chloe thought to herself as she rolled her eyes at Zane. "Yeah, you have a point. Most times when I'm sick, she is always the one getting worked up and crying." Ruby said, making Zane laugh. "I didn't know she was such a crybaby. That's silly." He said, purposely pissing her off. "Come on, Ruby! That is

"Bryce, calm down. I know you're scared but no one would hurt you here." Damien tried to calm him down seeing how frightened he was. "You said you were taking me to where I could see something about Ruby. If Miller finds out I'm somewhere as disgusting as this, he won't cover up for me this time. Just like he threatened, he will inform my Dad and my movement will be restricted. Is that what you are scheming?" Bryce asked curiously. Damien was appalled by the accusations that he angrily pushed him off. "Bryce, how dare you say that? I was only trying to open your eyes to…" "Disgusting? Did you just call this place disgusting?" A feminine voice sharply interrupted them. "Huh, another disturbance." Bryce scoffed, his back still turned against her. "What? A disturbance? How rude? It might be disgusting to you but to us, it's a means of our livelihood." She bellowed furiously. "Isabella, just leave us to this…" "Isabella?" Bryce asked as he finally turned to see the brown-haired gir

Silence took over the room for a while as both parents seethed with rage and eventually, Dawson left for his study in anger. Stephanie picked up her phone and dashed out of the house, and finally, Chloe and George left for the TV station in silence. All through their ride, Chloe saw the anger on his face but didn't bother to say anything as she thought earnestly about Stephanie’s statement. ‘How can Dawson not be a Marlowe?’ She wondered but never seemed to get the answer.George, though angry, couldn't stop his mind from thinking of his parent's quarrel and his mom's last statement and he had it in mind to ask her about it once they returned from the interview. When they finally got to the parking lot of the station, Chloe stepped out first and quickly walked to the door of the driver's side of the car, where George was just stepping out. She cased his chiseled jawline with her palm, soothing his soul as she said, "Love, you've come all the way here to cheer me on. You can't kee
