“I investigated you? Lucy, didn’t you promise me when you returned to the country that you’ll many into the Shawn family? How did things end up like this?”
If Tiffany hadn’t gone to Shawn Heavy Industries today to deliver lunch to Lucy, she wouldn’t have known Lucy had been kicked out long ago.
Lucy thought, “Many into the Shawn family!
That’s all she sees in me.
If it weren’t for her gambling habit, would I be in this mess now?
“If you really wanted noe to marry into the Shawn family, you shouldn’t have gone to Chloe in the first place, let alone gamble!”
Tiffany was instantly infuriated by Lucy’s words.
“What do you mean? Are you looking down on me now? If you hadn’t been struggling with Michael for so long, I wouldn’t have to worry about you now, Lucy, do you really want to be oversandowed by that Chloe? Show some ambition!”
Lucy didn’t want to hear any more. She held out her hand, saying, “What about the card I gave you earlier?”
Tillany hesitated, avoiding eye contact. “Wh… what card?”
Seeing Tiffany’s reaction, Lucy grew nervous.
“Have you used that card for gambling again?”

Tiffany grew impatient. “What do you mean? Gambling again? Is that even considered gambling? I just ne
Lucy thought, “Who will go to relax by losing millions in a single go!
Even the Shawn family can’t withstand such losses!”
“I don’t care, just give me the card back!”
Lucy had come today because her phone received a message about the card being checked for withdrawal records.
She knew it was Michael checking.
A year ago, Michael and Chloe’s marriage was in turmoil.
At that time, she had some trouble abroad and mentioned it carelesly in a chat group.CháP-téRs-F-Lò_W/cøm owns © this.
Michael was about to go abroad for business and helped her out.
He had mentioned giving her a card to solve her financial problems at the time.
The card, a bright red one without a password, she had taken without hesitation, Lucy hadn’t returned it since.
Each time she withdrew money, she gave it to Tiffany to pay off debts.
She hadn’t used it for anything else
Michael was definitely checking now because the card was active again.
Besides her mother, Lucy couldn’t think of anyone else who would withdraw money.
“It’s just a card, and now you want it back from your mother? Do you have no conscience, are you even my daughter?”
Lucy shouted angrily, “How much have you used from that card?”
Back then, she checked the amount inside, which was around tens of millions.
“How much could Have used?

“I have things to do. I’ll come see you in a few days.”
She turned and left, heading straight to the bank.
Inside, Lucy discovered that more than half the money was gone. What was once tens of millions now only amounted to a few million
Dizzy, she started to think about what she would do if Michael really wanted the card back.
Upon returning to Owen’s house, she held a cake that was now a mness.
Owen opened the door and was startled by her appearance.
Seeing her bleeding leg, he almost took her straight to the hospital
Lucy, disheveled, shook her head. “Owen, I’m fine, just tripped on the way.”
Looking sadly at the ruined cake in her hands, she said, “I’m sorry, the cake got ruined. It wasn’t intentional”
Owen scooped her up and placed her gently in a chair, no longer concerned about the cake.
“Let me check your leg.”
Lucy pulled her leg back slightly. “Owen, my condition seems to have worsened.”
Owen frowned, apparently surprised by her statement.
“I’ve been undergoing treatment since I was abroad, but it became too expensive, and I couldn’t afford it later on after returning home. That’s when the side effects started again. Plus, you know my mom last a lot of money…”
Lucy couldn’t hold back her tears as she covered her face.
Owen’s heart ached deeply as he embraced her. “Lacy, don’t worry. I’ll take you to get your leg treated. We’ll definitely make it better.”
Lacy hugged hum back, saying softly, “Owen, I wouldn’t know what to do without you.”

Hearing the alarm, Candy was startled. “Cees your ringtone scared the hell out of me!”
Chloe clicked her phone display and saw that James was at the airport.
Prowning, she analysed the situation and realized that if she hadn’t just returned from Jakfiode and had to pass by the airport, she might not able to stop him.
Opening the car door, she said, “You guys go ahead. I need to take care of something.”
Befour Candy could ask what she needed to do, Chloe was already striding towards the airport.
Jannes hadn’t seen Chloe for the past few days and thought she had lost interest, considering giving up on monitoring him,
Just then, a friend from Mythien told him there was an important task, prompting him to pack up without hesitation.
After buying a ticket for the next flight to Mythica, James stood in Paramount Airlines check-in hall, ready to check his luggage.
When Chloe appeared in a bench coat in front of him, he felt like he was seeing things
Without a word, she grabbed his luggage and started dragging it towards the airport exit.
“Chlon, let go!” James exclaimed.
Ignoring him, Chloe kept moving.
Janes, sporting sunglasses, a light brown duckbill cap, a bomber jacket, and ensual jeans, looked striking,
He called out Chloe’s name and caught up to her, grabbing the luggage handle.
Chloe took a deep breath and tamed, saying, “Let go!”
“You let go.”
Chloe raised her phone, threatening, “If you don’t let go, I’ll call Smith.”
Unfazed, James shrugged. “Call him then. He’s in Mythica. At most, he can try to stop me at the airport over there. But you can’t stop me from boarding.”
Chloe was seething with anger at his nonchalant attitude,
She realized that James had impeccable timing; he was about to check in right after she arrived.

Jauses was dumbfounded
People around turned to look at Chloe upon hearing her outburst.

She kept “crying while coughing incessantly, as if her health was failing.
Jones had never seen such a scene before.
The crowd swarmed around them, pointing fingers at him.
“Man, this guy’s a real piece of work. His girlfriend’s bending over backwards for him, and he’s still cheating?”
“Looks can be deceiving. Who knew he’s just a freeloader?”
“That girl seems genuinely nice. How could he have the nerve to betray her like that?”
“Being a woman is tough!”
The women’s voices blended into a chorus of disapproval. Some even forgot their own flights amidst their scolding of James. “Chloe, enough!”
James coughed awkwardly, turning his head away.
“Enough? I’ll never stop! You betrayed me first!”
Chloe reveled in the drama, suddenly understanding the thrill actors felt on stage.

“Hey young man, don’t get out of line, Uus is your girlfriend. As a grown man, you can’t lay hand on her!”
James was in a tough spot, saying, “She’s not my girlfriend at all!”
This explanation only made the onlookers perceive him as even mai
as even more of a scumbag.
Meanwhile, Chloe continued to cry and wipe her tears, refusing to say a word even when James tried to let her explain.
“Don’t worry, miss, we won’t let him go today!”
Some even caught a glimpse of the message on James’ phone screen, realizing he was flying to Mythica, further misunderstanding that he was going on a vacation with a mistress.
As time ticked by. James missed his boarding time, watching helplessly as the plane took off.
He thought to himself. “Damn! Chloe! What a mess she’s created!”
Hearing the announcement of the plane taking off, Chloe achieved her goal and wanted to wrap things up.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
However, the crowd was too agitated, some even suggesting taking James to the police station.
Seeing things escalate, Chloe felt a bit embarrassed.
Staring at James, she blinked, then suddenly dropped to the ground, shouting, “My stomach hurts. Am I losing my baby? Call an ambulance, get me an ambulance!”
The crowd quickly dispersed, fearing they might be responsible if something happened to her child.
Seeing James still standing there dumbfounded, Chloe glared at him, shouting, “Heartless man, help me to the hospital! If anything happens to the baby, you’re in big trouble!” Reluctantly, James helped her up from the ground and silently led her towards the underground parking lot.
Michael wasn’t flying today but had a meeting to attend.
As he walked out, he heard a commotion
in the airport ball,
Looking up, he sair a figure in sunglasses and a mask passing by not far from him, instinctively recognizing it as Chloe.
The man by her side bare a striking resemblance to James,
People nearby were gossiping, “Oh, could that woman have really lost the baby in her stomach?
Michael’s heart skipped a beat at the thought.
He immediately followed Chlor’s departing figure.
James escorted Chloe to the underground parking lot.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, she straightened up, completely dropping the act of being in pain.
James watched her with arms crossed, almost applauding her performance.
“You deserve this year’s Oscars.”
Chloe smirked. “Thank you for the compliment!”
“Chloe, can you teleport or something?”
Just as he was about to board the plane, she showed up.
Chloe simply replied. “Thanks for the compliment.”

Stumbling, she accidentally bumped into a nearby glass door.
James turned around at the sound, “Stop acting. There’s no one here,”
He thought she was just playing around, but Chloe was in too much pain to speak, clutching her stomach and gasping for air.
“Chloe!”
James sensed something was wrong, dropped his luggage, and hurried back to her.
Chloe looked up with her once rosy cheeks now as white as sheet.
James held his breath, immediately scooping her up. “I’ll get you to the hospital!”

As Michael rushed out, he saw Jones with one hand dragging a suitcase and the other arm around Chloe Before he could any a word, James had already placed Chloe in the passenger seat and stowed the suitcase in Striding over, he stood in front of James, “Give me Chloe.”
Jaimes stared at the man before him, chuckling, “Who’s Cliloe?”
His car had tinted windows, making it impossible for Michael to see Chloe inside.
“Don’t waste my time!”
Michael was close to losing his temper.
He didn’t think he would mistake Chloe
“Mr. Shawu, please step aside. I need to take my girlfriend to the hospital. If she miscarries, it will be your fault!”
James continued the act Chloe had just played out.
Sexing Michael’s disgusted expression, he felt quite pleased as he got behind the wheel and drove off.
Michael couldn’t believe what he said and immediately followed in his car.
In the hospital, Chloe had fainted from the pain
Her phone kept vibrating in her pocket, annoying James. So, he answered the call for her.
“Chloe, I almost forgot you had a hospital appointment today. The doctor I helped you schedule last time? We’ll have to reschedule for next week if we miss it!”
Candy had arranged the appointment for Chloe on a Monday, and if the hospital hadn’t sent a text just now, she might have forgotten.
Raising an eyebrow, James looked at Chlon beside him.
He thought, “Is she really so fragile?”
“Which hospital?”
Hearing a man’s voice, Candy exclaimed as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret, “James?”
Then, she gave him the bospital’s address.
Coincidentally, it was the same bospital where Chloe currently was.
“Got it, 111 take her for the check-up.”
Ending the call, James watched as the nurse wheeled Chloe into the examination room.
Candy, holding her phone, was somewhat dazed, finding it hard to believe what she had just beard.
She thought, “So, Chloe has gone to the airport to find James?
Is there really a chance of something happening between her and James?”
Jessica sat in the back seat, watching Candy’s absent-mindedness, and asked, “Candy, what did Chloe say?”
“Ols, nothing, just that Chloe might have a relationship.”
Jessica was puzzled, thinking, “Don’t Chloe have a husband 2a
In the hospital, the doctor conducted a full-body check-up on Chloe, including the gynecological examination Candy had arranged.
James sat quietly in the hospital room, scrolling through his phone.
