Chapter 94
Linda's face turned from pale to flushed as she struggled to keep her composure against Chloe's sharp tongue. Nobody could beat Chloe when it came to verbal sparring.
Linda seemed about to lose it. "Isn't this because of you? Lucas doesn't love you, so why won't you just let him go? What will it take for you to agree to a divorce?"
Chloe's expression shifted instantly. Had Lucas never told Linda that they were never legally married? Before, it made sense-Lucas' family didn't know either, and he avoided complications. But now, Chloe and Lucas had openly split. So why was Linda saying this?
A mischievous glint flashed in Chloe's eyes. What was Lucas up to? It didn't seem like he loved Linda that much, either. If he did, he wouldn't keep secrets from her, especially knowing how hard she tried to be by his side.
Chloe felt a twisted sense of satisfaction. There was a rift between those two, and she was more than willing to widen it.
With a playful thought, she said, "Divorce? Sure, let him sign the divorce papers first, and I'll sign too."
Chloe stood up and gracefully walked up to Linda, flashing a bright smile. "It's up to you now, Linda."
Knowing Linda's nature, Chloe was sure she would confront Lucas with the divorce papers. Then, Linda would discover the truth Lucas had hidden for years. The marriage Linda had longed for, compromised for, and thought was out of reach was actually right there. Lucas just never offered it to her.
At that moment, it seemed their rift might grow as vast as the Grand Canyon. At least, it would lead to a serious argument. Just the thought amused Chloe. Though she didn't know what tactics Linda had used to drive a wedge between her and Lucas in the past, karma was indeed a cycle.
Chloe was in an exceptionally good
mood today, especially after
receiving a call from Connor. He had unexpectedly cut short a week-long business trip and was already waiting outside the TV station.
Chloe texted back: [Wait for me.] Eagerly, she left the TV station building. After three days apart, she found herself unexpectedly missing him.
Soon, Chloe got into Connor's
Maybach, but she wasn't the only one in the car. Teddy, the secretary who also acted as a driver, was in the driver's seat while Connor sat in the back.
After some hesitation, Chloe opened the back door and sat next to Connor. After all, Teddy was well aware of their relationship.
As they drove away from the TV

station, the usually reticent Teddy suddenly spoke up. "Ms. Chloe, Mr., Connor really put us through the wringer this time. He insisted on cramming a seven-day itinerary into three days. Our whole team Worked non-stop, like machines, for nearly seventy-two hours. We almost didn't make it."
Teddy clearly sounded like he was complaining, but Chloe was curious why he would share this with her. "Why did you rush the scheduled trip?" she asked, intrigued.
Teddy sighed, "Because he wanted to come back and spend your birthday with you."
"Just drive!" Connor interjected sharply.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Teddy silently rolled his eyes. These words were exactly what Connor had instructed him to say after rehearsing twice on their way back.
