Chapter 339
Connor's brow furrowed, and his expression grew colder.
"Once the show wraps up, I'll take you to Switzerland to lay low for a while. I've already bought an estate there. Just wait for me for six months. After I've handled all my affairs back home, I'll come to bring you back."
Chloe was silent for a moment, then let out a short, incredulous laugh. "Connor, have you lost your mind? Who gave you the right to dictate my life? Who do you think you are?"
But Connor's face remained dead serious. "Chloe, I'm not joking. Your current situation is extremely dangerous."
"My sister will be back soon. Whether she knows you're my Achilles' heel or that Pax has taken a liking to you, she'll come after you directly. "Your life will be plagued with all sorts of fatal accidents. I know you're tough, but can you dodge danger ten times, eight times?
"Don't think I'm exaggerating. My sister orchestrated six accidents for me in one year, and it's only by sheer luck that I survived two ICU stays." Chloe's tone was resolute,“I don't care who your sister is or what she's capable of. I absolutely won't follow your plans."
"And I'll make things clear to her. Whether it's you or Pax, I'm not interested, and I don't want anything to do with either of you in the future. "I assume your sister wouldn't just kill without reason."
Connor scoffed, "You underestimate her. You might not even get the chance to explain. Over the years, the number of lives she's taken... she's probably lost count."
Hearing this, Chloe was a bit shaken. The Sartori family was rich and powerful beyond measure. But could they really act with total disregard for the law, for rules, to the point of taking lives at will?
Chloe seemed to ponder for a moment, then said calmly, "Connor, I won't gamble with my life, but I also won't follow your plan to leave the country."
"If your sister is as formidable as you say, and you can assure me
you'll defeat her in six months e
you've been fighting her for years with no solution. Does that mean I should hide abroad forever?"
"Besides, I conduct myself openly and honestly. There's really no need for me to skulk around in hiding."
"Chloe!" Connor grabbed her hand again. "Do you know how worried I am about you?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Connor, we're over.
"So my life or death is none of your concern. If your sister does assassinate me, then that's my fate. I won't blame you.
"But don't worry. I won't be that easy to kill. I'll find my own way out."
Chloe had already made up her mind. If Claire was as crazed and twisted as Connor described, she'd seek protection from a friend or her mentor.
Her friend came from a criminal background, with influence both domestically and internationally. Though he had since gone
legitimate, protecting her from
assassination shouldn't pose much of a problem.
Then there was her mentor, who had been living off the grid for years. Apart from her friend, no one knew his whereabouts. If it came to it, she uld hide away with him for half a year.
Connor was practically fuming with frustration.
"Chloe, are you trying to kill me with anger?"Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Chloe, having made her plans, had already reverted to her usual demeanor.
"If you really don't want anything bad to happen to me, then stay away from me. You're the real source of trouble, aren't you?"
