Chloe acted very enthusiastic.

Elias couldn't resist his playful tendencies and quirked an eyebrow, asking, "Does this young lady know me?"

Chloe quickly introduced herself with a smile, "I'm Chloe, a... um, good friend of Cole's."

She blushed slightly and chuckled, "A close friend!"

Cole frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

She couldn't believe that Chloe, after finding out why Cole invited her and Ava to dinner, would still have the audacity to claim to be just a close friend. It was utterly nauseating.

Reese recalled how Chloe's eyes lit up like a dog spotting a bone the moment she saw Elias. She was beyond annoyed. Cole was truly blind!

Before anyone could say anything, Chloe's face turned a ghastly pale at Reese's words.

Elias burst into laughter.
