Chapter 220 My Granddaughter Was Wronged

Giselle jabbed a finger at Chloe, her voice sharp with anger. "You're just twisting things around! You took something important from the Martin Group and now you're denying it..."

Chloe's eyes turned icy. "Ms. Rodriguez, as the CFO of the Martin Group, are you blind? Let me remind you, making false accusations can get you in serious trouble.

If you really think I took your partnership agreement, then show me some proof. Better yet, call the cops.

If the police find out I did take it, I'll face the consequences. But if you can't prove it and keep slandering me, don't blame me for not showing you any courtesy.

You want evidence? Keep dreaming. Grant, I'm going to bed. Show them out."

With that, Chloe straightened her back and marched upstairs to her room, not bothering with any pleasantries.

As soon as she returned to her room, all of Chloe's strength collapsed at that moment. She never imagined she would be subjected to such an injustice. She had merely visited Grant's office, only to be accused of being a thief.

Grant wanted to support her, but his efforts seemed insignificant against the overwhelming pressure.

At that moment, Chloe missed Nicholas terribly.

If Nicholas were here, anyone daring to slander her would have been dealt with swiftly.

Seeking some comfort, Chloe called Nicholas on a video chat.

It had been months since the grandfather and granddaughter had seen each other, and they started chatting over the video call.
