Chapter 225

The guests entered the venue in succession, getting ready to take part in the auction.

Chloe, retreating from the media’s glare, sought solace in the corridor.

“Young Mistress!” Jordan hastened to her side, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you okay?”

“They’re just a few pesky reporters. What can they do? How big of a splash can they make?”

“You shouldn’t be here with me right now. You should go to the place and look after them,” Chloe said, her brow furrowing.

“But… I’m concerned about you.”

Jordan’s voice was so anxious that it was hoarse. “Those reporters came ready to cause trouble! They’re trying to make you look bad by pointing out our mistakes!”

“Isn’t this to be expected? You’re organizing a charity event. Don’t tell me reporters are coming to give you accolades?”

Chloe crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression calm. “Furthermore, thère’s nothing wrong with what they asked, is there? It was my own oversight in management that gave me the opportunity to be pecked by some beautiful poultry. That can’t be blamed on anyone else.”

It was a stunningly beautiful poultry.

Jordan’s mind conjured up an image of Aubree and her daughter.

“Nevertheless, I don’t concur with one thing. Those reporters were dispatched here by someone, yet they didn’t ruin me. They arrived to assist me.”

Chloe leaned against the wall, her fingertips lightly grazing her arm, and said, “Let Skyler take pride in herself.”

“What I excel at is making her soar high and then suffer a devastating loss when her adversary believes they have the world at their fingertips. Hehe, intriguing!”

Jordan looked at the Young Lady’s eyes darkening gradually and shivered, realizing she was as ruthless as President Thorp.

This rose was beautiful yet poisonous, with its thorns.

Jordan, the general manager’s secretary, had to hastily arrange the meeting arrangements, so he scurried back like a wisp of

smoke.

Chloe had worked tirelessly all day for the event, having only water for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

She collapsed onto the sofa, ravenous, kicking off her high heels to reveal her white feet.

Curling up pitifully, her stomach twitched with hunger.

“I’m famished… I’m absolutely famished…”

Chloe weakly moaned and her eyes slowly shut.

Suddenly, she caught a whiff of the mellow scent of chocolate and frantically sniffed the air.

She thought she was hungry and had an illusion, her small, hooked nose twitching like a cute puppy’s as she sniffed the air.
