Chapter 460 House
Madeline was shocked and said, “Chloe, what do you mean? You are so ungrateful. I am your only relative after your mother died. You don’t even admit your relatives. You will be punished!” When Madeline started cursing, the security personnel had already carried her downstairs.
Chloe snorted.
After Madeline left, Quinn completely opened the door and walked towards Chloe, saying, “Are you okay?”
Chloe shook her head and said, “Nothing, it’s just a little annoying.”
Madeline and Maya wouldn’t hurt her.
Quinn was relieved when he heard this and said, “Candy said that you’re looking for a house these days. How is it going?” Chloe took a half step back and said, “I’ll go and take a look tomorrow. If everything goes well, I’ll make a decision.”
“I’ll go with you.”
He responded almost instantly.
If it were in the past, Chloe would have agreed immediately.
But now Chloe knew that he was interested in her.
So, she couldn’t continue to get along with him like before.
She wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a long time, she could only come up with an excuse. She said, “It’s too troublesome for you, I’ll go with Candy.” Quinn never felt troublesome to help her.
“It’s not a big deal.”
“By the way, Jessica will also have an assessment tomorrow. She has been on the team for a while. Candy and I are both busy, so I have to ask you to help me.” Chloe could only think of such an excuse.
Quinn looked disappointed. Chloe saw it clearly but could only pretend not to understand.
“Do you have something to do tomorrow? I can delay it for two days.”
“I’m free tomorrow.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Quinn adjusted his state and then returned to normal.
Chloe felt a little relieved. It was the first time she felt that getting along with him was such a tiring thing.
The next day, Chloe took Candy to Amanda’s address.
On the way, Candy felt a little strange and asked, “Amanda doesn’t know you well, why is she helping you so much?” People from rich families were not fools.
Even if Amanda’s house was empty, she shouldn’t rent it to someone she’d only known for a short time.
“Maybe Ms. Miller is very kind. Her house is empty anyway.”
Candy still felt something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure it out.
The two arrived at their destination and got out of the car. Candy looked at the name of the community and felt suffocated.
“Chloe, is the house that Amanda gave you this one?”
Chloe was also a little surprised when she got the address yesterday.
After all, this was a high-end residential area, and the house price here was more expensive than that of Mortland.
She remembered that even Michael didn’t seem to have a house here.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Chloe thought maybe it was a house that was not often lived in and was just slightly renovated.
But when the two of them arrived in front of the house, they were shocked again.
This was a four-story villa with a garden of dozens of square meters outside. Although no one lived there, the lawn in the garden was well maintained.
They could tell at first glance that it had been carefully renovated.
Standing at the door, Candy tugged at Chloe’s sleeve and said, “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
Chloe was speechless.
She wasn’t illiterate.
Chloe handed the business card to Candy without saying a word.
The two looked at each other and then walked inside.
It was not simply decorated as Chloe said, it was extremely exquisite.
The house had been uninhabited for so many years but it was still spotless.
“You must be Ms. Nelson, right? Ms. Miller informed me yesterday that you would come to see the house today. I am the housekeeper of this villa. You can call me Bob.” Candy was dumbfounded when she looked at the crystal chandelier from the ceiling on the fourth floor.
She thought she might be dreaming.
Before Chloe could react, her cell phone rang.
Chapter 461 A Luxurious House
“Chloe, have you seen the house? What do you think? Are you satisfied?”
Chloe blinked and said, “Ms. Miller, this house is too luxurious. My studio doesn’t need so much space.”
“It doesn’t matter. Maybe your team will need to recruit people in the future. A bigger one would be better. Besides, I don’t live here either. It doesn’t make any difference to me.” Amanda didn’t think this house was that special.
She simply thought the location met Chloe’s requirements.
If she wanted to give someone a luxurious house, she wouldn’t have chosen this one. She had way more luxurious houses than this.
After hanging up the phone, Chloe looked at Candy and said, “What do you think of this house?”
Candy turned her head and looked at her, saying, “Are you kidding? This house is amazing, okay? If you buy a house, you can’t afford such an awesome house!” Candy didn’t care about anything else.
She thought it would be lucky to be able to live in this house.
Bob gave her the password to the house and recorded both her and Candy’s fingerprints.
Amanda sat on the sofa in her own home, and the housekeeper said, “You’re very concerned about Ms. Nelson.”
Amanda smiled and said, “I like her. She is the same age as my sister.”
She even thought that it would be nice if Chloe could be her sister.
She didn’t know why she always felt a sense of familiarity when looking at Chloe.
“There aren’t many people that you like. I want to see who Ms. Nelson is.”
The butler had been guarding Miller Manor. It was rare for Amanda to come back, so he was naturally happy.
Amanda propped up her chin with her hand and said, “How about I host an event and invite Chloe?”
The butler had taken care of Amanda since she was a child, and was like an uncle she trusted, so she also wanted the butler to like the person she liked.
The housekeeper said with a faint smile, “I’ll support any of your decisions.”
Amanda was a member of a
swimming team abroad before. Her favorite thing to do when she was abroad was to go surfing. Although there were no such conditions here, there were swimming pools.
As soon as Chloe came out of the villa, she received a message from Amanda.
[Chloe, I’m hosting a pool party in a few days, come with your friends. ]
Candy saw it and shook her head frantically, saying, “No, I can’t swim!”
She felt extremely nervous when she went diving last time.
“But Ms. Miller gave us a house, so we should go and thank her.”
When Candy heard this, she felt disappointed, but she felt that Chloe

On their way back, Chloe received another call from Mortland.
“Hello, Ms. Nelson…”
Chloe felt annoyed.
“No, I’ve already found a house.”
The other party was stunned, and before the person could say anything, Chloe hung up the phone.
“Who is it?”
“Sale of Mortland.”
Candy felt a little strange and said, “Does she call you every day?”
Chloe nodded and said, “Maybe it’s because the real estate market is not doing well these days?”
“No way!”

No matter how bad the economy was, Mortland would never ask them to buy houses in a rush.
“Forget it.”
Anyway, now that she had found a house, she thought they probably wouldn’t call her again.
On the other side, in Paramount Airlines’ office.
“Mr. Shawn, Mortland just informed me that Ms. Nelson did not go to see the house.”Exclusive
Chapter 462 Be Bothered
Michael paused and said, “Why didn’t she go?”
“She said she had found another house.”
Michael was stunned and said, “From the Cloud Group?”
Ethan shook his head and said, “I’m not sure.”
As soon as Ethan said this, Michael immediately glared at him.
Ethan suddenly felt aggrieved because he really didn’t know.
Candy couldn’t help but ask while sitting in the car, “Why didn’t you ask Quinn to come with you today?”
Chloe looked helpless and said, “What do you think?”
“Are you still bothered by the fact that he likes you?”
In response to this, Chloe smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t help it.”
It was hard to accept that the one she treated as her younger brother suddenly became her suitor.
Candy patted her on the back and said, “Actually, I think Quinn is pretty good. Don’t care too much about his age. He has protected you several times.”
She wanted to try her best to enlighten Chloe.
She really wanted to get them together.
“Just stop making trouble.”
Chloe shook her head. She was not interested in Quinn.
Candy sighed, “If Quinn knew that you rejected him because you treated him as your younger brother, he would be heartbroken.”
Chloe pursed her lips. She had just ended a marriage.
Let alone whether she liked Quinn or not, there was a great difference between her, a divorced woman, and a college student.
She’d better not hurt others.
Back in Urban Lane, Quinn was testing Jessica.
Although they had never had any assessment within the team before, Chloe and Candy knew that Quinn was always strict with his work.
It might not be easy for Jessica to pass the test.
When Jessica saw the two of them

At that time, she was still trying to break into Chloe’s system until the last second.
So Chloe pulled Candy to sit on the sofa, giving Jessica a quiet environment.
“Time up!”cHãptêrsf-Low_com owns © this.
As Quinn spoke, Jessica was still staring at the screen intently.
Quinn walked over and took her keyboard directly.
“Following the rule!”
The assessment was different from the actual operation. Time was limited in an assessment.
Jessica was a little dissatisfied and said, “But…”
“Stop arguing.”
Quinn spoke very little in front of people other than Chloe.
Chloe stood up at this time, walked to Jessica’s side, and bent down to look at the program on her computer.
She blinked and asked Quinn to return the keyboard.
A few code was changed, and then it worked.
Not only had the protection network been strengthened, but procedures had also been set up to track and input viruses.
Jessica looked at Chloe in disbelief.
None of the solutions Jessica thought of worked. How come Chloe solved the problem in less than three minutes? And Chloe’s code was something Jessica had never thought of before.
Jessica suddenly felt a little discouraged. Compared with Chloe, Jessica thought herself incapable.
She secretly changed the ranking of the website, but in reality, her ability couldn’t even make it into the top ten.
“So did I fail the test?”
Chapter 463 Apology
Quinn was about to speak when he was stopped by Chloe.
“This project is a bit too difficult for you alone, but you have completed 90% of it, which is pretty good. So you still pass.’ Chloe had never been a very strict teacher or supervisor. She had her own set of standards when judging people. Jessica’s expression changed when she heard that. In the end, she just thanked Chloe and picked up her bag to leave.
“I still have classes at school. I’ll go now,” She said.
Candy wanted to stop her and give her some advice, but Chloe shook her head.
She believed Jessica needed to figure it out on her own. Knowing one’s own strengths was also a must.
Quinn cleaned up the table and said, “How’s the house tour going today?”
Candy became excited when she heard this and said, “You don’t know how smooth it is…”
Chloe shook her head helplessly and did not interrupt her.
“Chloe, you have a phone call!”
At that, Chloe picked up the phone.
Then she heard a man saying, “Hello, Ms. Nelson, I’m Matthew.”
Chloe subconsciously glanced at Candy, who was beside her.
“Mr. Jenkins, is there anything I can help you with?”Text © 2024 ch.aPTéRSf_lOW/-COM.
“Rachel caused you trouble last time, so I brought her here today to apologize to you. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to come out and meet us.”
Chloe didn’t take that matter seriously. Although the sight of Rachel holding a knife and trying to hurt herself was indeed quite scary.
But as long as Rachel wouldn’t bother Chloe anymore, it would be fine.
“I hope you can be here.” Seeing that Chloe didn’t say anything, Matthew added.
Chloe really couldn’t refuse this.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Candy and said, “Matthew wants to see me.”
“Why? Let me tell you, none of the family’s kids are simple. He want to see you for something.
You’d better not go.”
Wa
Seeing Candy’s serious expression, Chloe found it a little funny.
“Then Wesley isn’t simple.”
Candy blushed and said, “That’s different. Wesley and his brothers are not the same kind of people.”
“I see!”
Chloe felt that Candy and Wesley were a perfect match.
She then went there alone, without letting Quinn and Candy accompany her.
Matthew was very cautious. He found a restaurant that only received ten guests a day and booked the whole place.
When Chloe was led in by the waiter,
she felt as if she had entered a misty

At the dining table, Matthew saw Chloe coming over and looked to Rachel who was sitting next to him.
Rachel pouted very reluctantly. If Matthew hadn’t asked her to come over to apologize, she would never have come.
She thought she didn’t do anything to Chloe and told the truth, so she didn’t know why should she apologize. “Ms. Nelson, please take a seat.”
After Chloe sat down, Rachel coughed a few times uncomfortably and placed her hands lightly on her thighs. “Chloe, I was too impulsive when I went to your house that day. I apologize to you.”
“It’s all over now. I understand how you feel and I accept your apology.”
Rachel glanced at Matthew next to her and said, “She accepted my apology, so can I leave now?”
She thought Matthew just took her.

Matthew looked at her and nodded gently, saying, “Wait for me in the car.”
Rachel put down her napkin and left, leaving only Chloe and Matthew at the table.
“Mr. Jenkins, do you have anything else to say?”
Chapter 464 A Fight
She didn’t want to have dinner with Matthew.
“Ms. Nelson, I think you’re not interested in Quinn, right?”
Chloe frowned slightly and said, “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.”
Matthew smiled gently and said, “Then let me tell you something about you. Candy is related to you, right?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
When Chloe heard him mention Candy, she looked gloomy.
She pursed her lips and waited for Matthew to continue.
“Wesley is the eldest son of the Jenkins family and represents the Jenkins family. Candy was originally going to marry Jenkins’s father but suddenly became Jenkins’s girlfriend. Don’t you think this is ridiculous?”
Chloe just found it funny when she heard this.
“If you want to say it’s ridiculous, then it’s the Jenkins family’s fault. Richard wants to marry someone who is 20 years younger than him and is his son’s girlfriend. No matter how, it’s the Jenkins family’s fault. What does it have to do with Candy?”
Matthew was good at shirking responsibility.
“Whatever the problem is, I just want to resolve it.”
Chloe said, “Then what do you think is the solution?”
“Candy and Wesley must break up completely, and members of the Jenkins family will not marry anyone from the Parker family again.”
Chloe sneered and said, “Wesley is your eldest brother, and you are only the third child. Do you have the right to decide this?”
Matthew’s face froze. What he hated most was people saying that he was Wesley’s younger brother.
They were the same age, but just because Matthew’s mother was not Richard’s first wife, he could only be the third child.
He didn’t even have the right to inherit the Opal Group.
For the sake of Candy, Wesley even went against Richard.
Matthew thought he should resolve the issue.
Chloe looked at him in silence and sneered, saying, “I’m sorry, Mr. Matthew Jenkins if you apologize to me today for Rachel, then I will accept it. For other matters, you have the wrong person.” After saying that, she stood up, without eating the food on the table, and walked away.
If she had known that Matthew wanted to see her today for such a boring thing, she would not have come.
After leaving the restaurant, Chloe felt like she had wasted an hour.
She was about to go to her car but unexpectedly heard a quarrel coming from not far away.
She didn’t want to get involved, but the voice sounded familiar to her, so she looked over anyway.
When she looked up, she saw William being blocked by two foreigners.

“What are you doing?”
The foreigners seemed to have not expected a woman to suddenly appear, and they looked surprised.
“I have called the police!”
The domestic public security had always been better than that abroad.
When they heard Chloe calling the police, the two men instantly felt guilty.
After swearing a few times, they reluctantly left.
After the two of them walked away, Chloe looked at William and said, “Why did they make things difficult for you?”
William shook his head helplessly
and said, “Because they said that
look down on them by not cooking their country’s food in the restaurant.”
Chloe choked, thinking that this reason was too ridiculous.
But then she realized that the problem of discrimination seemed to be quite serious abroad.
“Did you drive here? If not, I’ll take you home.”
Chloe no longer bothered to ponder the previous question and offered to take him home.
“Thank you, Chloe.”
William did not refuse at all.
The two walked toward the direction
where she parked the car. Just as Chloe unlocked the car, a black Rolls-Royce drove over.
The familiar car model made Chloe slightly stunned, and the next second she saw Michael coming out of the car.
The one who got out of the car before him was the child sitting in the driver’s seat.
“Slow down, don’t run.”
His steady voice rang out, causing Chloe, who hadn’t gotten into the car yet, to tremble all over.
“Chloe, get in the car!”
William’s shout made both of them look towards him.
Chloe noticed Michael’s gaze moving towards her almost instantly.
He got out of the car and saw Chloe standing next to William, and then he looked gloomy.
Chapter 465 That Child
The kid who just got out of the car saw him standing there motionless, so the kid walked over and held his hand, saying, “Why don’t you move?” Chloe stared at the child, wondering where he came from.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other, William also walked around from the other side of the car and said, “Chloe, this is…”
He knew Michael for sure, but he deliberately asked Chloe at this time. His intention was self-evident.
“Michael.”
He didn’t introduce himself but just said his name, as arrogant as ever.
“Hello, I’m William.”
William stretched out his hand, but Michael showed no intention of shaking hands with him.
He just looked at Chloe, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“Chloe, let’s go back.”
William withdrew his hand nonchalantly and called Chloe again.
Michael was stunned when he heard this.
Chloe withdrew her gaze and got into the driver’s seat without saying a word.
After the car drove away, William said, “Why is there a child next to him? They look quite alike.” Did they look alike?
Chloe subconsciously thought of the child in her belly.
But before, Michael had never told her about the child.
She didn’t know who he was, what his name was, or what his relationship with Michael was.
“Don’t worry, maybe the child is not his.”
It was unclear whether William was comforting or hurting her.
Chloe gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, “Where do you live?”
After getting out of the car, William asked, “Would you like to go upstairs for a cup of coffee?”
Chloe shook her head and said, “No, maybe next time.”
She couldn’t get used to drinking coffee at the homes of people she didn’t know well.
And she remembered she had told Candy before that she felt there was something wrong with William.
The things she asked the team to investigate hadn’t gotten any result, so she didn’t dare let her guard down against William.
But William did not force it. After Chloe watched him go upstairs, she received a text message.
He transferred her one thousand dollars sent a message: your relationship with him? Do live
together? Are you too is
These three questions in a row gave Chloe a headache.
She wanted to say it was none of his business but she felt there was no need to say this, so she deleted it and drove home.
Michael sat in the restaurant, waiting for Chloe’s reply anxiously.
He even fantasized about when William would go home with Chloe, sit on the sofa, and watch a movie together…
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became.
“You’re almost breaking the fork in your hand.”
