Chapter 196 Unintentional Offense

Liora glanced at me smilingly. “It’s a pleasure! I finally have the honor of meeting you, Ms.

Chloe. I heard you’re virtuous and exemplary. I have a lot to learn from you.”

Although she sounded polite, her words had an underlying awkwardness. I was puzzled

but knew she was

far from friendly.

“You’re too kind, Mrs. Liora. I’ll have to rely on your support in the future,” I replied

cautiously. I didn’t need to offend her since it was her family’s event. It was wise to keep a

low profile.

Liora sneered, “Ms, Chloe, you’re being too modest. Who am I to support you? You’re a

model for all of us. Please feel at ease here. Everyone is upright and respectable. You

don’t have to worry about anyone

harassing you.”

Immediately after, she turned and left arrogantly.

I blushed when I noticed people looking at me. It was apparent Liora referred to the other

night’s incident.

Several of her female friends glanced sidelong at me before following her.

At some point, Lauren appeared beside me, saying,lacked a good reason. Your incident

Lauren raised an eyebrow. “Atticus is not an ordinary businessman. He can endure and

keep his composure. Once he sees an opportunity, he can turn the situation to his

advantage. As for you, be cautious when dealing with the Coles.

“They all seem friendly on the surface, but…” Lauren pointed to her eyes, indicating there

was more to the

Coles then met the eye.

I nodded. “So, I’ve become a pawn in Atticus’s game without even realizing it. He’s clever,

but it’s not for

my sake.”

I chuckled and continued, “If that’s the case, that man is cunning and smooth. He did what

would please Mr. Maddox, solved my issues, and fulfilled his agenda. Most importantly, he

resolved his issues and

gained the crowd’s respect. His one move accomplished four things!

“You’re sharp. So be careful with Liora in the future. This woman holds grudges,” Lauren

warned.

“I never expected my actions to offend that scheming woman,” I sighed, “Is anyone

reasonable these

days? They’re the ones who tried to molest me, but I became the target of resentment

instead.”

I couldn’t help but look at Liora again as she happily chatted with Stella. The two smiled

like they were

long–lost friends. I didn’t know why, but it gave me an inexplicable premonition.
