Chapter 247 Do I Have the Capability to Resist?

Zara knew just how influential Claudia was. After all, Summit Media Solutions had already made a name for itself in the entertainment industry. Being the responsible person she was, Zara had done her homework on all the major players.

She reminded, "Chloe, it's best not to go head-to-head with her."

"She gives off bad vibes. She's got connections, so let's try not to piss her off."

Zara's voice was low as she pulled Chloe aside, trying to avoid a direct confrontation with Claudia.

Chloe's expression softened a bit. It wasn't that she was scared of Claudia because of her status, but she didn't want Claudia to make things tough for Rena because of her.

After all, Rena was currently with Michael.

"Chloe, come on, let's go sit over there." Rena tugged Chloe, leading her to the small sitting room.

Then she turned to Claudia, "Claudia, please have a seat. I'll get you some water."

Rena's humility was on full display, and seeing her like this, Chloe felt a deep sympathy for her.

For a man, she was willing to humble herself to the ground. It was clear she loved Michael deeply.

Once they were in the small sitting room, Rena closed the sliding door and had Chloe and Zara sit down.

"Chloe, Zara, I'm sorry you had to see that. Claudia, she..." Rena mentioned Claudia with a tone of respect.

Chloe looked at Rena helplessly and asked, "Where's Michael? I contacted him earlier, and he said he was home."

Rena nodded. "Yeah, he went out to get some things when he heard you and Zara were coming. He'll be back soon."
