Chapter 180 Since When Do You Eat Leftover Pasta?

Emily could not comprehend the absurdity of her mother’s demand for Chloe to take responsibility. It seemed like a shameless ploy.

“Mom, Dad, I’m begging you. Please don’t make things worse for me. It was my mistake. I shouldn’t have trusted that jerk.”

“Shut up!” Lina retorted in a low voice, “Can’t you see how fiercely Chloe’s boss is protecting her? There must be some hidden connection between them, which means we should demand proper compensation for the harm they’ve caused us.

Despite Lucas‘ thorough explanation, Lina remained unwavering in her belief that Chloe was to blame for her daughter’s situation. She insisted on seeking compensation from Chloe, and if monetary compensation was not given, she hoped at least for her daughter to be offered a job in their company as reparation. In Lina’s eyes, this office appeared larger and more prestigious than Emily’s current workplace.

“You’re just embarrassing me further!” Emily shouted. She was overwhelmed with a sense of shame and guilt. Fueled by her fury, she left her parents behind and stormed out of the meeting room. Without her presence, Chloe could now handle the situation without having to take her feelings into consideration.

Joseph turned to Chloe and said, “Let’s leave as well.”

Chloe hesitated for a moment, but she decided to ignore Emily’s parents.

Chloe’s sleeve, declaring fiercely, “You’re not going anywhere! You have to give us a proper explanation, or else, I won’t let you leave!”

Joseph turned around, his gaze icy and piercing, sending a shiver down Lina’s spine. Her hand trembled, and she released her grip on Chloe. Swallowing nervously, she said, “I… As parents, is it wrong for us to seek justice for our daughter?”

“Seeking justice isn’t wrong, but you’re placing all the blame on my people, and that’s something you should never do,” Joseph responded firmly.
