Chapter 116 Chloe heard the words and took a step forward, only to be stopped by Connor's outstretched arm.

Connor spoke calmly, "Jacob, sorry to butt in, but can I ask what exactly happened?" Connor had shown up early today but got held up at the entrance by Eve. She clung to him like a piece of gum, and it took him quite a while to shake her off. In just that short span of time, all hell had broken loose with torn dresses and broken family ties.

Chloe was usually so carefree and cat-like in her demeanor. She must have been seriously wronged to act out like this.

A chilling aura began to emanate from Connor, making everyone around feel a suffocating drop in the atmosphere. Yet, his words remained humble and polite.

Jacob was puzzled by Connor's sudden interest in his family's private affairs. He had no desire to air this matter publicly, especially since it involved a foster daughter ending their relationship, which was hardly something to be proud of.

However, upon hearing Connor's question, Lisa took it upon herself to speak. "Mr. Connor, you might not know, but Chloe is my parents' foster daughter. Today, my parents decided to formally adopt Linda as their goddaughter, which upset my sister. In a fit of anger, she pushed a pregnant Linda down the stairs." "Fortunately, Linda wasn't hurt. Being the kind person she is, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. My father just asked my sister to apologize to Linda, and that would've been the end of it. But instead of apologizing, Chloe chose to cut ties with us." Lisa exaggerated the story a bit.

Jacob's expression soured. "This is a private matter of the Meadows family. I apologize for my lack of discipline in raising my daughter, Mr. Connor." After hearing everything, Connor exuded an even colder aura. He couldn't believe Chloe had been subjected to such injustice. The whole world seemed against her, with no way to plead her case.

Connor let out a cold laugh. "So, that's what happened. Ms. Linda, did Chloe really push you?" His gaze suddenly shifted to Linda.

Linda and Lucas had also approached by then, standing behind Jacob. Under Connor's imposing gaze, Linda felt inexplicably nervous. She pel on a victim's act, "I don't think Chloe did it on purpose." Connor's voice remained icy. "Whether it was intentional or not, are you confirming that Chloe pushed you?" Linda grew anxious. "Mr. Connor, what do you mean by asking this?" Connor inquired, "Are you sure you're not lying?" The word "lying" seemed to brand Linda on the spot. Had it been anyone else, it might not have mattered as much, but coming from Conná, a man everyone sought to associate with, his words carried significant weight.

Murmurs of skepticism rippled through the crowd.

Linda quickly defended herself. "I'm not lying was just going up the stairs when I spoke to Chloe Maybe she was in a bad mood and pusheddown the stairs. Many people saw it with their own eyes.

This was a trap she and Lisa had schemed in advance. Lisa had m mentioned that the banquet hall at t Cloud Top was for VIPs only and didn't have cameras installed, so they thought their plan was foolproof.

Lisa chimed in, "I saw it with my own g eyes. I was standing not too far away and saw saw my sister deliberately push Linda down the stairs. It wasn't just me. They all saw it too." Lisa was referring to her group of friends, who had received many favors from her and naturally supported her story.

"Yes, yes, we all saw it." Connor's gaze swept across their faces, his icy eyes piercing like daggers.
