Ariana had intended to provoke a strong reaction, but Chloe remained calm, not showing the slightest sign of anger. Ariana felt like she'd hit a brick wall with her efforts.

Disappointed, she gave up on her confrontation and left the meeting room.

As Chloe stepped out, she encountered a visibly anxious Michael. Šeeing her, he quickly approached. "I've scheduled an appointment at the hospital. Let's head over now." He hadn't forgotten about taking her for a checkup.

Michael, relieved upon hearing the news from the doctor, let out a sigh of relief. "That's a relief."

However, things got lively after Vicky arrived in Mamaica.
