Chapter 630 Sworn Sisters
Anson smiled at me, saying, “It’s good that you like the idea. Let’s get to it then.”I didn’t know how to respond, but he kept looking at me. He seemed displeased and asked, “What’s wrong, Chloe? Do you disagree?”My mind raced as the situation astounded me. Still, I knew disagreeing would contradict what I had just told Trinity. On the other hand, I didn’t expect this with the Huffmans. I never wanted to have dealings with a family of the Huffmans’ status. After all, they differed from the Beringers.I became a goddaughter to the Beringers because I understood Atlas’s connection to them. It was also because of Atlas’s subtle intervention.However, the Huffmans belonged to an entirely different category. I knew the term sworn sisters carried significant weight, especially to Anson. Most would keep their distance from such families, but I had little time to think.Anson awaited my response, and the Huffmans’ loyal guards were watching me. It would humiliate Trinity if I refused. U
Chapter 631 The Huffman Family's Heirloom
Things returned to normal after the banquet ended, and we saw Anson off. I finally had a chance to talk with Trinity alone.Trinity smiled at me and asked, "Did we scare you?"I relaxed on the sofa, and half complained, "What do you think? You make such a big fuss, not even discussing it with me. I was not prepared whatsoever. It made me so nervous, and Mr. Anson's... ""What's his name?" Trinity reminded me.I stuck out my tongue. "I mean, Anson. I'm still not used to it! His commands are a bit intimidating. What did I do to deserve this?""It's not like they're asking you to take over the Huffman family. There's nothing you can't handle. In terms of capability, you certainly have it. Don't underestimate the Huffman family. Not just anyone can be associated with them."Trinity looked at me with a cool expression, clearly proud of the family."How could I underestimate them?" I paused, then said, "The Huffman family's reputation is definitely significant, and I never thought tha
Chapter 632 Undisclosed
However, Anson had announced that this matter wouldn't be publicly disclosed. That was a good thing for me.Carol's call came in. I answered the phone and then looked at Trinity, saying, "I guess it's time to let me go, right?"She casually snorted. "It sounds like I was detaining you. Did I stop you from leaving? But I do need to remind you to be careful with Liora. I'll lend you a hand when you need it!"I looked at her triumphantly and said, "It seems like having a sister has a lot of benefits. I really took full advantage of it today."She leaned back on the sofa and said, "That’s right. You'll understand sooner or later. With me as your sister, you won't ever suffer. I just want you to know that I'm a friend who will benefit you for a lifetime."I suddenly realized that there was more to her words than met the eye. My attitude was originally a joke, but she took it seriously. "I will cherish it, Trinity," I said earnestly.She waved her hand and said, "Alright, go on. You
Chapter 633 Not a Bad Thing
"Your worries might be reasonable. What Anson is up to is anything but simple. This guy seems like a sly old fox." Atlas's understanding of Anson didn't seem very favorable."As for your friendship with Trinity, being friends is more than enough. The situation has escalated a bit, but what he's doing is grand and sincere.""So what? Are you implying that he deliberately planned all this?" I looked at Atlas with some concern."Don't underestimate Trinity. This girl is shrewd and cunning. Her bond with you is not a simple one." Atlas's reasoning echoed my own concerns.Seeing my doubts, he patted me on the back and kissed my forehead. "But don't think too much about it. Since they have this idea, you can't avoid it. After all, there's a life-long friendship involved here."Atlas hugged me. "And...you have me."I nodded sincerely. "It's great to have you."He smiled contentedly. "You're my woman. I'll protect my woman. They should know that. Also, arranging for you to get close t
Chapter 634 Honest Conversation
I had talked to Rose about Trinity getting injured for my sake before. She had been quite concerned about the matter in the past few days.As soon as I finished telling her about the Huffman family's actions, she didn't express much surprise. Instead, she told me, "This is the Huffman family's way of doing things.""However, I always feel an unease. After all, the Huffman family is different from others,” I said openly. "And he knows that I am the daughter of the Beringer family. Now, he has also accepted me as his adopted daughter. Rose, I've always been a bit nervous. I'm always worried that they want to use me to get close to the Beringer family and Atlas."I voiced my concerns because Atlas had reminded me to speak openly and honestly with Rose. I understood what Atlas meant. Sincerity was what made one likable."It's not impossible. Anson and I have been friends for a long time, but we each do our own thing. We don't cross paths, but we’re always nearby. You need to maintain
Chapter 635 Giving In
After moving to Pleca Park, the kids and my parents were happy.Atlas had somehow managed to set up two spacious and dreamlike rooms. Even I couldn't resist the idea of sleeping in them.My childhood memories were hazy and confused me, after all. But the rooms before me seemed like something out of a dream. Ava was clearly thrilled. She was acting giddy with excitement and would not go to sleep.After finally getting them to sleep, I went to check on my parents' room.My mom secretly pulled me aside and asked in a hushed tone, "How much did Atlas spend on building such a big house? It's huge. It's such a waste. Back in our hometown, I thought the teachers' college was empty, even when all the teachers were living in it."I burst into laughter at her words. They weren't even on the same scale.However, I knew they were both very satisfied.My dad, on the other hand, kept talking to me. He mentioned that the backyard here was spacious and could grow various plants. I chuckled an
Chapter 636 I Can’t Help You
Even I was surprised by what I said. I must admit, I can be surprisingly kind. I couldn't help but think that Ivanna would probably be disappointed in me if she were by my side right now.When Matthew heard me, a glimmer of hope seemed to gleam in his eyes. He got up and sat at my desk.With his eyes fixed on me, he urgently said, "Only you can help me, Chloe. Pull some strings, resolve the issues in Muborough, and everything will fall into place."He fervently suggested some ideas to me; his plan was clearly well thought out."Can't you provide the evidence? Last time, you got someone from Solaris to produce proof, right? As long as you can verify that Muborough's documents are in order, Ardora will be fine."I suddenly felt a sense of irony. The proof I obtained in Solaris?If Melanie hadn’t teamed up with Liora to trip me up last time, I wouldn’t have been involved in a lawsuit.Now, Matthew continued animatedly, "Mel is still young, and she made a mistake. It couldn't have b
Chapter 637 Can’t Bear It
"Chloe... You're so heartless. You sent my dad to prison, and now you've sent Melanie there too. You’re just going to sit here coldly and watch me lose everything, huh?"Matthew was clearly agitated. He stood up abruptly. He glared at me like a leopard, roaring as if he were facing an arch-enemy from a past life."This is your loss. You walked into it! Don't pin this on me. Melanie dared to cut corners, so the authorities investigated. There was no need for you to come here and make a fuss." I looked at him calmly."The only thing I can do now is introduce you to an excellent lawyer who will defend you and try to keep you from prison. This is also something your mother entrusted me with before she passed away!""Nonsense! Chloe...""I had no reason to take responsibility from the start. Don't defend yourself. Don't talk nonsense just because you took care of my mom for a few days. You're a cunning villain. This is all happening thanks to you. My mom may be confused, but I'm not! T
