Chapter 578

Chloe rummaged through a cabinet and stumbled upon an old, weathered folder. It was filled with documents from shortly after she was born. Among them was a health report from her one-month check-up, and one detail jumped out at her: her blood type was AB negative. Considering both Ann and John were type A, having a child with that blood type seemed impossible. What did this mean? Leah felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be that Chloe wasn't Ann and John's child after all?

Recently, Chloe had been hounded by Linda, but she hadn't gone looking for her again. Instead, she found herself at the underground casino of the nightclub "Night Veil." There, she crossed paths with Ricky once more. This guy was hustling everywhere, trying to track down Lisa. He'd accumulated a staggering debt of thirty million at the casino. If he couldn't pay it back by tomorrow, he'd be tossed into the alligator pond. Rumor had it there was a pond behind the club's hills with dozens of fierce Nile crocodiles, kept specifically for punishing those who didn't pay up. Whether it was true or not, Ricky knew it was. Just yesterday, the manager had dragged him there, and it was terrifying.

Now, he was desperately searching for Lisa, hoping the wealthy heiress could bail him out. But Lisa was nowhere to be found. After much effort, he learned from their family's grocery-shopping nanny this morning that Lisa had been arrested. No one knew when she'd get out. Ricky felt like a cat on a hot tin roof. Who could possibly come up with thirty million on such short notice? If he couldn't pay back the money, he was genuinely going to be alligator food.

As he was pacing around, panicking, Chloe appeared in front of him. He remembered her-the terrifying woman who'd beaten him up in the alley and forced him to jump into the river. Chloe stood there, arms crossed. "Looking for Lisa?"
