Chapter 222
Teddy's face darkened. "Boss, are you worried Ms. Chloe might end up like Amelia?"
Connor's gaze turned even icier.
"So, you threw this big birthday bash for Miss Diana in Eldridge City to distract Ms. Claire. As tough as Ms. Claire is, she won't go after Diana so easily. Unfortunately, Ms. Chloe really got the wrong idea."
Taking in Connor's tortured expression, Teddy continued, "But why don't you just explain things to Ms. Chloe? I'm sure she'd understand. Maybe you just need to continue this act with her, and there wouldn't be any hard feelings."
Connor closed his eyes. "Teddy, do you really not know what my sister is like? She's a crafty old fox; she'd see through any act in a heartbeat. Plus, she's ruthless and cunning. I can't risk it. It's safer for Chloe if we part ways now."
Teddy sighed. "Three years ago, you went through so much trouble to have her take over the French properties, just for a bit of peace. But now Ms. Claire is suddenly planning to move back. Has she figured something out?"NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Still with his eyes closed, Connor replied indifferently, "Not likely. Her main reason for being there was Pax's studies. Jeffery recently found out Pax was studying Film instead of Business and Management and got angry, so he's planning to bring him back."
Connor's face turned stern. "If Pax comes back, my sister will definitely follow. Her control over her son is way beyond normal."
Teddy nodded. "But Master Pax isn't just a puppet. The more Ms. Claire tries to control him, the more he resists. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ditched Business and Management School for Film School, knowing full well how much Ms. Claire despises the entertainment industry."
Claire runs Eldridge Entertainment. It was fair to say that half of the top stars in the entertainment world came from Eldridge Entertainment. Even though Eldridge Entertainment had produced so many stars, including award-winning actors and actresses, they were just performers to high- level capitalists.
As the only son and third-generation heir of both the Sartori and Gilbert families, Pax naturally carried high expectations.
Connor seemed to think of something. "What's Pax been up to lately?"
Teddy replied honestly, "Not sure. Mr. Pax's best skill these past few years is avoiding everyone's watchful eyes. Recently, their school had a free study trip, so he might be in Italy now."
"Spread the word that Pax had a car accident in Italy."
Teddy caught on immediately. "Got it, Boss. Within three days, Ms. Claire will definitely be in Italy."
"By then, you and Ms. Chloe might get a bit of a break."
While driving, Chloe occasionally glanced at her rearview mirror. For some reason, she felt like someone had been following her these past few days, but she didn't notice anything unusual.
Maybe she was just sleep-deprived and imagining things?
Chloe initially planned to head back to Greenpeace Estate. Instead, ended
up stopping in the Sunset
Heights neighborhood.
Ann was surprised to see her.
"Can I crash here tonight?"
Ann was thrilled. "Of... of course."
