Chapter 98: Chapter 98

"Auntie, I want to figure out what’s really going on first."

Chloe’s mother seemed disappointed, "What’s going on..."

Before she could finish, Lucy interrupted, "Xiao Lin, right? You want to know what’s going on, that’s fine. I can tell you’re not a clueless person. Now I’ll call over my good friend, Chloe’s current boyfriend, and you’ll understand. They have chat records. Once he arrives, I’ll have him show you."

Lucy finished speaking and called James. While she was on the call, Chloe was on the verge of collapse.

She knew things were heading in the worst direction, and if she couldn’t turn the tide, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So at this moment, she could only sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

She cried to Xiao Lin, "Back then, when I went out with a friend, that James Foster started touching me the first moment he saw me and kept pestering me to become his girlfriend. He followed me wherever I went. I was really forced to no way out, and at that time, I had broken up with you, so I agreed to be his girlfriend. But after I got back together with you, I told him we were done, yet he didn’t agree and kept pestering me..."

Lucy was still on the phone, and Chloe’s words reached James Foster’s ears without surprise.

"I’ll be right over," James Foster maintained a rare calm.

Lucy hung up the phone, looked at Chloe with cold eyes, "You paint yourself as a victim, but do you know that there are such things as surveillance cameras? If my judgment is correct, the place where you first met James Foster would surely have footage. Words are useless; let evidence speak."

After saying this, she called Nathaniel Green, asking him to help get the surveillance footage.

Chloe fell into complete disarray; her face had lost all color.

Xiao Lin saw Chloe’s reaction and began to side with Lucy’s words.

If Chloe dated another man after breaking up with him, he’d be angry but could understand and not fuss over it.

But if she hid it from him, being involved with another man at the same time they were together, that was a different matter entirely.

"Chloe, be honest with me, are you lying?"

"I’m not. Believe it or not!" she said, attempting to leave, but Lucy wouldn’t let her go and grabbed her by the clothes, "James will be here soon, where are you going?"

"I’m going for a walk."

"Sorry, you can’t leave now."

Chloe tried to break free but couldn’t shake off her hand. She was furious, "I’ll leave if I want to, who are you to stop me?"

"Before, it wasn’t my place, but you’ve not only betrayed my friend James and played him but also tried to throw dirt on him. I can’t tolerate that."

"Let go of my daughter!" Chloe’s mother shouted sharply, "My Chloe isn’t married, she can be with whoever she wants. That’s her freedom. You’re an outsider; what right do you have to meddle and comment on her business?"

"Chloe’s mom, I think you should think about how to repay the medical expenses James covered for you instead."

Chloe’s mother retorted, "He willingly covered it because of Chloe; I didn’t hold a knife to his throat forcing him to pay. Even if you call the police, I’m not scared. After all, he gave willingly, and there’s no IOU, right? Why should I repay?"

"Chloe’s mom, I advise you not to play tricks on me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" she replied without fear, "I’ll just say it now, there’s no money for you, just life. Take it if you want it."

"Mom..." Chloe hurriedly interjected, "Don’t say anymore. She’s the leader’s daughter."

"So what if she’s the leader’s daughter? Does being a leader’s daughter give her the right to act lawlessly?"

Xiao Lin was shocked, incredulously looking at Lucy, and asked cautiously, "Are you really the leader’s daughter, Lucy Eaton?"

Lucy smiled slightly, "That’s me."

Xiao Lin secretly felt lucky for not having said anything wrong earlier. He extended his hand and said, "It’s a surprise to meet you here, nice to meet you."

Lucy shook his hand briefly, "Hello, you don’t seem like someone blinded by love and devoid of reason. For my friend’s rights, and to prevent you from being deceived by this mother and daughter, once you see the surveillance, I hope you’ll handle this matter seriously and carefully. There are many beautiful women, but marrying a woman of poor character will harm your entire family."

"I will handle this matter seriously."

When James Foster arrived, he showed Xiao Lin the chat records from the first day he met Chloe. Xiao Lin read them from beginning to end, his expression growing increasingly grim. By then, he could conclude that Chloe had been willing all along, contrary to how she claimed she was forced.

This was just one thing; seeing the surveillance footage brought by Nathaniel Green reassured Xiao Lin.

"Chloe, now that the evidence is right in front of us, do you have anything else to say?"

"I have nothing to say," Chloe no longer defended herself. "I was with James because you kept calling me, and I didn’t pick up. If it wasn’t for you saying you’d buy me a house, I wouldn’t have met you. You’re not good-looking, and if it weren’t for the good condition of your family, do you think I would be with you? Isn’t this something you should have realized a long time ago?"

Xiao Lin was heartbroken again, feeling utterly disheartened, "I had thought you were a pure girl. I truly loved you and was willing to fight with my parents to be with you, but I didn’t realize you were only interested in my family’s wealth. Since that’s the case, I will not contact you again."

Xiao Lin was thoroughly disappointed, but he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, not saying anything hurtful and turned to Lucy, "Thank you for opening my eyes to all of this."

"Xiao Lin, women like Chloe are worth a few thousand a night in clubs. She’s just that type, so don’t take it to heart. When choosing a wife in the future, take this as a warning, and I hope you never get deceived by women again."

Xiao Lin left, leaving five people in the ward.

"James, it’s obvious this mother and daughter plan to escape their debts. How about making them endure some physical hardship to compensate for the medical expenses you paid? What do you think?"

"Nathaniel, call some people over to take these two back and ’serve’ them properly."

Chloe’s mother urgently shouted, "If you dare to touch us, I’ll call the police!"

Lucy smiled sweetly, "Be my guest."
