Chapter 386
Chloe was slowly losing her cool. She might have seemed composed on the outside, but inside, she had cursed the old witch a hundred times over. Claire, brimming with excitement, said, "Because it's intriguing."
"He's usually so indifferent and aloof, living a life devoid of desires. But with you, it's different. I can tell he genuinely loves you, even if it means using Diana as a shield all these years.
"Diana holds a special place for him too. She's his link to the Gilbert family, a crucial ally in his climb to power, a weapon in his quest for ultimate gain. At times, she's even his emotional crutch.
"Of course, Diana is important to him. But I'm just so curious, which will my dear brother choose when faced with love or ambition?"
Just hearing this made Chloe shiver. You had to admit, Claire really did understand Connor.
Chloe spoke up, "I'm not his love, so using me to test his boundaries is pointless. You've already tested him today, haven't you? The horses Diana and I were riding went wild at the same time. Kalilah was just a pawn to you, right?"Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Chloe paused for a moment, then continued, "You saw Connor's first reaction. He cared more about Diana, so there's no need for further tests. He will never choose me."
But Claire just laughed heartily, "Ms. Chloe, you seem to underestimate my brother's feelings for you. My brother is a master horseman and a genius in many ways. He had already mapped out the quickest route to you. From the start, he never intended to go after Diana. He cares about you more." Chloe had figured this out later. She said it just to throw Claire off. Yet Claire remained unfazed.
Chloe continued, "So, Ms. Claire,
you've got the answer you wanted. If
I represent love and Diana represents ambition, and he chose
me, what more do you need to test?"
Claire smiled, "Ms. Chloe, you're quite sharp. But what if his so-called love destroys the ambitions he's spent a lifetime building?"
Chloe frowned, staring at Claire, "You just want to see him suffer."
Claire's smile grew wider, eventually turning into laughter, "Yes, I want to see him suffer. I want to destroy everything he cares about, his life, his will, everything."
Claire's eyes gleamed with malice, "He is the filthiest person in the world. He should never have been born."
A hint of madness flashed in Claire's eyes, "He's a demon. He should go to hell..."
"He's not! He's human! Your own flesh and blood, your younger brother!" Chloe was furious, nearly shouting these words. Chapter 386 3
