Chapter 263: Chapter 263
Olivia was taken aback.
Chloe had invited her before to join a group chat. At that time, Olivia didn't think too much about it.
Since Chloe brought it up again, this group sounded rather mysterious.
"What group chat?" Olivia asked while scanning the QR code.
Chloe's face showed faint resentment. "This is a group chat, especially for that little bestard. For us to badmouth him. You'll find joy and peace in it."
Chloe then discreetly told her that Chase's wife, Bella was also inside the group chat. However, she didn't know that the group was for dissing Chase.
When Olivia heard this, she was immediately intrigued.
Chloe sent a voice recording to the chat group, "Guys, let's welcome a newcomer. Newcomer, remember to put your alias."
Olivia scrolled through the chatbox before she had a lightbulb moment. She changed her name to Hammer Holder.
When Chloe saw her name, she gave Olivia a thumbs up! "Well, I'll be demned!" Chloe thought.
She felt like nothing could hold back an angry Olivia, not even the strongest man on earth.
Everyone in the group responded immediately, but Chloe found it odd that Bella remained silent. Normally, if any one of them started a conversation in the group. Bella would be the first to respond eagerly.
She didn't live up to her alias that day, The Cheerleader.
Bella finally responded after ten minutes.
Her message made both of them frown.
Her message read, "Something happened to my sister, I'm not really in the mood to chat, I'm sorry!
When Chloe saw this, she said to Olivia with great disappointment, "Looks like you're not in luck today. You can't experience the joy that Bella usually brings to the group. Maybe some other day then.
Olivia felt slightly disappointed.
At the same time, Golden City and all the online portals were bustling with chaos.
The first shocking news was that Angelina had joined Lunanica Media without anyone noticing it.
The other news was that Angelina would collaborate with Lunanica Media in releasing two videos, clearing Elena's name.
The one that rattled the entire city was the second one.
Everyone turned silent while watching the two videos.
The only decent actress in the movie Lunanica Media produced was probably Elena.
Such a beautiful and hardworking woman had been misunderstood. She even received a lot of disgraceful comments online.
All of a sudden, those who had insulted Elena before felt guilty.
They instantly flocked to the websites to post their apologies to her.
Elena's reputation changed overnight; she was even more well received than before.
Reading all the apologies online, Elena's eyes became red.
She couldn't help it anymore; she raced to Chase's place.
It was already nine that night.
Chase was at home waiting for Bella to return when he received an unexpected call from Elena, He stepped out of the house and saw Elena standing beside her car.
Her eyes shifted toward Chase; there were thousands of thoughts on her mind but she couldn't even get one out.
"What's wrong?" Chase asked.
Elena shook her head. Out of nowhere, her face started turning red. "Nothing. I just came to see you."
When she said this, she felt shy,
Elena was already thirty years old.
She felt as though she had fallen in love for the very first time.
Seeing how well Chase handled all the responsibilities that came with his position, Elena had a sense of admiration.
It felt like Chase was her Prince Charming who travelled across the seven seas to bring her back to his kingdom.
Looking at Elena's blushed face, Chase understood what was going on at once. He said, "Well, I owed you a favor."
Elena nodded. All of a sudden, she felt this wave of courage sweeping over her. Elena took a step forward and hugged Chase tightly.
While feeling Chase's warmth in her embrace, tears rolled down her face.
Chase instinctively wanted to push away Elena; he didn't want to give her any false hope.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hesitated.
Elena was the one who had suffered the most from all the chaos.
No matter how perfect the ending was, the humiliation she suffered from this debacle would remain etched in her forever.
Chase was in a daze for a while.
Had he crossed the line just to achieve his own goals?
Thank you, Elena said through choked tears.
Chase didn't speak for a while.
She then let go of Chase. Seeing how awkward and rigid he was, she chuckled.
Her laughter sounded as delightful as the flowers blooming in spring.
Looking at how silly he looked, Elena couldn't help but feel proud.
No matter how great this brat was, she had finally managed to take him by surprise.
He was just like any other boys out there.
Elena smiled and said, "Don't worry. With this hug, we no longer owe each other any favors. However, I did not have any ulterior motive when I hugged you just now. And no, there are no cameras around."
Chase chortled slightly. Thank you.
Elena's face turned red again. Then, she ran back into her car. Stepping on the gas pedal, her car disappeared in the dark.
Chase shook his head at her as he saw her leaving
He hoped that after experiencing these ups and downs, she would be more kind to the world and others.
Chase walked into the house. Bella returned much later that night with a stench of alcohol on her entire body,
Chase frowned. "Were you drinking?"
Bella looked tired and dejected as she answered, "Yes, I had a drink with Madison"
"What's wrong with Madison?" Chase asked.
Bella shook her head and said bitterly, "She refused to tell me, but I'm sure she is into some trouble. She also thentioned that this had something to do with you and her.
Chase's eyes dazzled with bewilderment. What could that be?
Could it be...
He was silent for a while before he continued, "You should go wash up first. I'm sure everything will turn out fine. Don't worry. I'll make sure nothing happens to her.
Bella looked at Chase with gratitude. Well, she is my only sister. You have to help her this time no matter what happens. Yes, we'll help her together."
Chase nodded and didn't say anything more.
Meanwhile, Madison was completely drunk. When she reached home, she buried herself under the blankets and wailed her sorrows.
During the day, Madison received an unexpected call from Ethan.
Ethan insisted that she met him, otherwise she would have to bear the consequences.
From the way he spoke, she could tell it had something to do with Chase.
After hesitating for a bit, she headed over to Ethan's.
Seeing Madison, Ethan was obviously delighted.
"You better tell me now why you called me over, Madison demanded with a cold face.
Ethan just sneered at her. He got straight to the point and showed his iPad to Madison.
After taking a good look at it, Madison's whole face turned pale. She looked at Ethan in disbelief. "Where did you get this?"
Ethan had reminded Madison of a memory she would never forget!
It was a video showing Chase with a machete in his hand. He was heading to the place where Alfred stayed. In the next second, he lifted the knife in his hand and brought it down at the speed of light before a human head was seen falling off from its master!
A murder scene!
What a frightening sight it was!
