Chapter 364
Just now, at the bar counter, Chloe casually picked up a silver cocktail pick. Little did anyone know, it would soon become her makeshift lock-picking tool.
With practiced precision, Chloe deftly unlocked the door in just a few seconds. She went from room to room, floor to floor, until she finally reached the 16th floor. That was when she saw Barrett and Diana.
The scene was worse than she could have ever imagined. Diana was already undressed, lying helplessly on the bed, while Barrett, shirtless, was taking advantage of her.
The sound of the door bursting open made Barrett freeze. He turned toward the noise, his face a mix of shock and panic, only to see Chloe standing there.
For a split second, Chloe stood stunned. But then, rage took over. She rushed at Barrett and delivered a powerful punch straight to his face. Barrett went down, spitting out blood and a tooth.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Despite the blow, Barrett managed to stay conscious. He yelled, "Chloe, what the hell are you doing?"
Chloe struggled to keep her emotions in check, and snapped back, "You disgusting monster! Taking advantage of a girl who's vulnerable!"
Covering his face, Barrett tried to defend himself, "Look, she wanted this. We're together now, doing what couples do. Why are you butting in?" Chloe let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Is she sober right now?" she demanded.
She stepped closer, grabbed him by the neck, and punched him in the nose. Her voice was as fierce as her punches. "When I say you're taking advantage, it means you are."
Barrett, infuriated, tried to fight back.
At six feet tall and a stunt actor, he wasn't easy to handle. But before he could throw a punch, Chloe kicked him back to the ground, knocking the wind out of him.
Barrett felt like his chest was on fire, the pain making it hard to breathe. Chloe didn't relent. She unleashed a brutal series of punches and kicks

flooded her mind. Was this how she had lost her innocence, in a state of unawareness?
Shawn's name flashed through her mind—a name forever etched into her soul, despite his death. In that moment, Barrett became Shawn.
When Connor arrived, he saw Chloe furiously beating Barrett, who was curled up on the floor, unable to defend himself. It was unclear if Barrett was still alive.
Connor took in the scene from the doorway, his face darkening as he pieced together what had happened. He stepped forward and grabbed Chloe, pulling her away. "Stop. He can't die now," he said sternly.
Connor's face brought Chloe back to her senses. Pain flickered in Connor's eyes as he added, "Go get her dressed. I'll handle this."
Chloe, now calmer, turned and walked towards Diana. Connor, without glancing at Diana, approached Barrett, grabbed him by the leg, and dragged him into the next room.
Barrett was in bad shape, barely breathing. His handsome face was now a mess of bruises, but he was still conscious. At the sight of Connor, a look of fear crossed Barrett's eyes.
