Chapter 191 We Slept Together Last Night

Seeing the eager look in Grant's eyes, Chloe scratched her eyebrow and stammered, "Yes..."

In truth, she wasn't happy at all.

At this moment, her mood was more somber than attending a funeral.

Soon, everyone descended the mountain, preparing to head to Louis's estate.

Just as Rena was about to get into Michael's luxury car, Michael coldly said to her, "Well, you don't need to come meet my grandfather tonight." Michael's tone was cold, imbued with an undeniable firmness.

Rena was taken aback, her steps pausing mid-air as she looked at Michael, somewhat at a loss. Despite the myriad of questions and unease swirling inside her, Rena tried to stay composed. She responded softly, "Okay," trying to keep her expression calm and conceal her inner turmoil.

Michael's gaze lingered briefly on her face, but his icy stare seemed to pierce through her defenses, sending a shiver down her spine. He continued, "Wait for me at the hotel. Once I'm done, I'll come over."

With that, Michael got into his car, and Rena obediently followed.

Throughout the drive, Michael remained silent, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, seemingly avoiding any interaction with Rena. His demeanor was so unclear, as if he was deliberately maintaining a distance. This left Rena feeling extremely uneasy. The air was thick with a suffocating tension, and the atmosphere inside the car was oppressive and stifling.

She was just Michael's assistant, with no right to meet Louis. Even with any agreements she had with Michael, she had to remember her place.

At this moment, Rena's heart felt like a wind chime suspended on an unresolved thread of emotions, trembling ever so slightly, bringing forth waves of endless sorrow and grievance. In nearly twenty years of her life, she had never experienced such pain and oppression. It was only now that she realized how bitter and exhausting it could be to love someone, as if the weight of the entire world was pressing down on her heart, not only inescapable but constantly increasing.

If one of them had to suffer for love, she would rather it be her.

The night in Oceancrest City was very quiet. Before Chloe met Louis, the three Martin brothers were called into a room by Louis.

The three brothers hadn't seen Louis in almost a year. Louis was very busy and had no time to see them.

At this moment, the eighty-year-old Louis looked surprisingly youthful, with a head of white hair neatly covering his head.
