Chapter 1110
The secretary paused for a sec, then quickly trailed behind Chloe.
In the living room, Wendy was sitting on the couch, engrossed in some news on the internet, a smug grin on her
face.
That woman, she just always managed to attract gossips. Looked like she didn’t need to get her hands dirty. There
was always someone who couldn’t stand Chloe.
Always standing out like a sore thumb, she was an easy target. If someone always had it too easy, it was bound to
stir up some jealous people.
Not to mention, Chloe wanted to be with Damon… the trouble she was about to face was monumental!
She didn’t come from a powerful family, and had no protection from home, how far could she go on her own? With
Mr. Harper around, there was no chance in hell she would be Austin’s sugar baby.
But just because she knew, didn’t mean everyone else did. They hadn’t gone public, why should she spill the beans?
They would never be together! And Damon’s wife, well, that would be her!
She hadn’t witnessed the hotel drama firsthand, so how could she miss out this time? She wouldn’t want to miss
any of Chloe’s embarrassing moments. Seeing Melinda stomping around in a huff, she couldn’t help but smirk. She
put her phone away, and looked up at Melinda with a straight face, her voice flat, “Cool your jets, you’re in
someone else’s company, making a scene won’t do you any good!”
Wendy should’ve kept her mouth shut, as her comment only made Melinda even more peeved!
Melinda snorted, her voice shrill, “What’s so special about her company? I want to make a scene. Let those
hundreds of employees see the real Ms. Summers!”
Wendy just smirked, “News is spreading like wildfire online, and everyone who needs to know, knows. Your actions
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtseem a bit overkill, don’t you think?”
“Do I care about her online reputation? It’s not me who’s dissing her! Didn’t she seduce my dad? I’ll make her pay!”
Wendy raised an eyebrow, “She had a good rep before. Don’t mess with her lightly…”
“Heh… if she hadn’t messed with me, why would I give her a second glance?”
Melinda was arrogant; her status in the entertainment industry wasn’t thanks to Infinity Media, and certainly not
Starlight International. Her dad had used his wealth to elevate her!
She never feared anyone in the industry, and she certainly didn’t need to snub anyone for better resources!
Why should she be afraid of her?
Wendy didn’t say a word. She wanted Melinda to make as big a scene as soon as possible!
“Watch your image, don’t let it affect you.”
Melinda huffed, “I will!”
Just as she finished speaking, the door burst open.
Both of them looked up. The secretary opened the door, then respectfully stepped aside to let Chloe in.
Chloe’s tall, slender figure appeared in the doorway. With her steady strides and gaze fixed forward, she exuded a
commanding and icy demeanor that
was hard to resist.
It was rare to see such coldness and dominance in a woman, even the previously arrogant Melinda seemed to wilt
under her aura. Wendy frowned, repulsed by Chloe’s haughtiness and irritated by Melinda’s obvious submissive
demeanor.
Without uttering a word, her own aura seemed to shrink, was she still planning to embarrass Chloe?
Chloe walked in and quickly scanned Wendy and Melinda’s faces, then flashed a small smile, “Long time no see.”
She stopped a little distance away, a fake smile plastered on her face, looking completely unfazed!
Wendy, sitting on the couch, had to look up at Chloe, feeling belittled just because of their positions. Facing a
competitor, how could she allow herself to be bested in any way?
Biting back her anger, she slowly stood up, flashing what she believed to be an impeccable smile. As a rich girl, her
superior upbringing made her seem dignified and casual. “Ms. Summers, about those things online… it must be a
misunderstanding, right?”
Chloe scoffed, gave her a cursory glance, then sat down on the couch across from her. “Whether it’s a
misunderstanding or not, shouldn’t Ms. Wendy be very clear?”
Chloe slowly turned her gaze to Melinda.
Wendy, who had stood up to show her dominance, now felt even more oppressed looking at Chloe who was sitting
on the couch. She was answering her question but didn’t even give her a single glance. That sense of being ignored
was utterly mortifying.
She gritted her teeth, just being overshadowed in terms of aura was enough to make her blood boil. “Why would I
know? Ms. Summers‘ private life has nothing to do with me, right?”
Chloe gave a sarcastic smile, “I hope what Ms. Wendy said is true. We never had any connections, and it would be
best if we continue to have no relations, now or in the future.”
Wendy got the hint, was Chloe warning her to stay away from Mr. Harper?
Ha… Who did she think she was?
Hopefully, but things can change. Who would’ve thought Ms. Summers‘ private life would suddenly involve us?”
Chloe chuckled, finally looking at Wendy, “Ms. Wendy, you’re overthinking.”
“Am I?” Wendy turned to Melinda, “You might not know this, but Mr. Austin happens to be the biological father of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmone of my company’s artists!”
Wendy’s words finally woke Melinda up, who immediately stood up from the couch.
“Chloe, are you fucking stupid? You’re not exactly broke, why would you mess with my dad?!”
“Can you mind your manners? You’re a public figure!” The secretary was shocked by Melinda’s outburst. Having
worked in senior positions for years, she was used to dealing with people of high caliber.
“Manners? Do I have to just sit back and take it knowing that you’re having an affair with my dad?”
“Do you have any proof?”
“Are you blind? There are pictures of them together all over the internet, and my dad admitted it on the spot. Do
you need any more proof? No wonder Starlight International skyrocketed to fame, all thanks to using your good
looks! And here I was thinking you were something special. Turns out you’re nothing!”
“Melinda, watch your mouth!” Wendy, standing aside, pretended to be angry and scolded Melinda.
Melinda didn’t listen, instead, she raised her voice. “Why should I watch my mouth? I heard before that she had to
seduce the judges to win the piano competition, and then there were all these intimate photos with various
investors! Did anyone ever beliève in her? She’s just a frivolous woman!” You could tell, this Melinda was just as
vulgar and foolish as her mother. Being used by Wendy and she didn’t even have a clue.
Chloe didn’t want to get tangled up with them, and slowly stood up, “I have nothing to do with your father. Let me
tell you something, in this industry, people think you’re all looks and no substance. But you still have a place here
because your dad has spent a lot of money on you! I suggest you try to hold on to this position, or else you might
lose your job. When you’re being used and you’re about to starve to death, see if that person will give you a bite to
eat!”
Melinda was taken aback by Chloe’s words, then she burst out laughing. “I’m just playing around in the
entertainment industry, you think I actually care about this job? Although what you said is true, my job is enough to
support myself! Would I starve to death? Haha… Even if I’m not in the entertainment industry, my dad would still
support me well!”
Chloe raised her eyebrows, but didn’t say anything, her phone beeped, and she smiled faintly.
“Is that so?”
