Chapter 709

After Diana signed the document, Chloe kept her promise and deleted the video on the spot. She tucked the file into her bag, then said, "Remember this lesson: what goes around comes around," before heading out. As she left, Diana's angry curses echoed behind her, but Chloe just shook her head with a smirk.

When Chloe got back to the conference room, Connor's shareholders' meeting had just wrapped up. The bigwigs filed out, leaving Connor alone in the seat that once belonged to Ms. Claire. Seeing Connor looking so relaxed and genuinely happy, Chloe couldn't help but grin. "How's it feel sitting in the big chair?" she teased.

Connor looked up and smiled at her, standing up naturally. "Come over here," he said.

Chloe sauntered over, and Connor pulled her close, gently guiding her into the seat. "Why don't you take it for a spin and find out?"

Not one to be shy, Chloe settled in and spun the chair around, her fingers drumming the armrest without a care in the world. "In the old days, this would be like inheriting a throne," she mused. "Today, I got a front-row seat to a royal showdown." Feigning a scowl, Chloe added, "Why didn't you clue me in on your plan? I was worried sick about you!"

Connor chuckled, wrapping his arms around her from behind and planting a kiss on her cheek. "I wasn't entirely sure it would work myself. I didn't want you to get your hopes up too high," he said, apologizing. "Sorry for making you worry."
