Chapter 565 Rose Is So Cool

The receptionist couldn't help but feel aggrieved. She had always addressed Chloe as "Mrs. Yones", so she couldn't understand why today was any different.

Realizing that any misstep could lead to greater trouble, the receptionist was at a loss for what to do. Unfortunately, her moment of hesitation further enraged Chloe, who raised her hand once more, ready to strike. However, a firm grip caught Chloe's wrist before the blow could land.

Everyone in the office froze momentarily before letting out a sigh of relief when they saw who had intervened. It was Miles, who had just stepped out of the elevator.

They started to rejoice at Miles' timely presence when their attention shifted to the woman who had grabbed Chloe's wrist. Someone with sharp eyes soon recognized her.

"M-Ms. Shaffer?"

The woman in question was none other than Rose, whose name was currently plastered all over the media. Not only was she Oliver's biological granddaughter, but she was also the rightful heiress to the Young Group. "Don't you think it's inappropriate to hit someone in public?" Rose locked eyes with Chloe.

She had seen Chloe before and knew that the woman was Gabriel's mother. Rose remembered her from the staged funeral in Aquastead, where Chloe had shown a keen interest in the Young Group's inheritance. Clearly, Chloe was here that day because of the news. Earlier, Rose had barely stepped out of the elevator when she saw Chloe raising her hand to strike someone. Instinctively, she rushed out to intervene.

Glancing at the terrified woman, Chloe furrowed her brows slightly.

"So what if I hit her?" Chloe retorted, showing no remorse. "This receptionist can't even perform a simple task like serving coffee. Clearly, she hasn't been properly trained.

"She almost burned me today. What if she scalded an important client tomorrow? I was just trying to teach her a lesson."

Despite her attempts to rationalize her behavior, her words were evidently nothing more than a thinly veiled excuse for venting her anger.

Rose had never liked Chloe, and at that moment, she found the woman's attitude even more distasteful.

"Oh, is that so?" she responded with a faint smile. "It seems like she isn't quite suited for the receptionist role then."

Turning to the assaulted receptionist, she asked, "Do you have any other skills?"

"Do I have any other skills?" the receptionist thought as she hesitated. "I... I majored in design..." she finally replied.
