Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1051:

Chloe’s relief immediately vanished at Everett’s words, replaced by an ominous feeling. It felt as though her heart had frozen, suspended in midair as it waited for the disaster looming ahead. She turned to look at Everett. The moment their eyes met, her heart started again, but this time, it was pounding with sheer, unadulterated fear.

Everett had been raised abroad by their grandfather. They had only met a handful of times during their childhood, and in fact, they hadn’t seen each other at all in the last decade.

They might be related by blood, but there was no bond between them to speak of. Chloe knew nothing about her brother’s temperament, his likes or dislikes—nothing. The only impression she had gotten from him since his return was that, while he seemed gentle and refined, his eyes were devoid of warmth. She couldn’t even look at him for a few seconds without feeling an icy hand clench around her heart in a tight grip.

What was more, Chloe had witnessed firsthand just how ruthless Everett could be to those foolish enough to defy him. Suffice to say, she was terrified of her brother.

Looking at him now, she knew that Everett was livid, and he was about to punish her. Worse still, she was fairly certain that the fate awaiting her was no better than what Derek would endure.

But then something occurred to Chloe. Why should she resign herself to such torture when she wasn’t even exposed? There was no evidence to show that she had done anything wrong. On what grounds would Everett punish her?
