Chapter 272



Cassie's words hit Chloe like a bolt from the blue.

The Sartori and Gilbert families had always been tangled in a web of complications.

But the last time she was at the Gilberts' home, Chloe vaguely remembered Cassie mentioning something about the two families' history. Claire's ex-husband was Desmond Gilbert, the second son of the Gilbert clan. They had a son, who, if she recalled correctly, was named Pax. Desmond had an affair with Suzanne, Diana's mother. After Pax's birth, the two families broke it off.

That made Cassie, Diana's cousin and Pax's cousin, too, albeit through different mothers.

Cassie had joined the Gilberts family pretty late. She had known Pax by name but had never seen him in person.

Cassie had definitely mentioned him before. But back then, Chloe had been so distracted she didn't even remember his name.

Out of nowhere, Chloe chuckled. She didn't look angry at all; in fact, she seemed rather calm, almost like she was making a joke. "Pax, you told me you were working multiple jobs to fund your studies because your family was broke. You said they were all counting on you to study abroad, and you couldn't afford rent or even food..."

Chloe hadn't expected to be duped like that.

Pax noticed Chloe's reaction and immediately panicked. "Chloe, please don't be mad. I wasn't trying to deceive you. You said you hated rich kids, and I was just scared you'd look down on me if you knew who I really was."
