The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

I said to Chloe and Steven, "Unfortunately, I've cleared up all grievances over money. You should come up with a new excuse and let Zane know. We'll see if he will abandon me over that.'

Chloe knew that Zane was rich and that he wouldn't place much importance on money. There was no need for her to dwell on the same issue. With that in mind, Chloe felt more confident.

Chloe said proudly, "Regarding money, even if Annalise was in the right, she is still to be blamed for disrespecting her elders!

"As the daughter-in-law of the Pelham family, she should respect her mother-in-law. But what did she do? She doesn't flatter me or serve me, and she doesn't visit my house!"

Steven didn't want to see Chloe anymore. Chloe did not realize every word revealed her own character.

He had also finally realized how childish Chloe had been to pick on Annalise in the past. It was easy to see through her tricks.

I asked Chloe, "But didn't you ask me to do that? Why are you shifting the blame to me?"

"Did I ask you to do that? When did I ever say that? Don't you dare falsely accuse me!"

Chloe couldn't recall if she ever said anything like that.

In response, I said, "In the first few visits I made to your home with Steven, you said you hated seeing me, and you told me to stop going over.noveldrama

"Later, you turned your home into a dating spot for Steven and Jessica. Then, you allowed Steven and Zachary to meet Jessica at your place. Don't you remember that?"

When Chloe heard that, she finally remembered what happened. She didn't know what to say.

I smiled and continued, "Of course, if you think I'm wrong, feel free to post

Chloe thought that if it was posted online, she could conceal some parts of the truth. Without much thought, she said, "Sure, let's post it now!"

Chloe was determined to twist the narrative and turn public opinion against Annalise.

"Mom! Haven't you done enough already?" Steven asked angrily.

If Chloe had actually posted the incidents online, it would

undoubtedly draw criticism. That way, the company stocks could take a hit. Chloe only cared about her happiness, but she never considered the impact it would have on the company.

Steven asked, "Do you want everyone to know that you, as the law, encouraged your son to cheat and that you also bullied your daughter-in-law?"

Chloe retorted, "Must you include those as well? Are you stupid, Steven?"

Speechless, Steven asked, "If you post it, won't people eventually find out what you did?"

Chloe was silenced. At that moment, Steven began to wonder if Chloe was trying to sabotage him. He asked, "Do you want my company to go bankrupt?"

In response, Chloe said softly, "Of course not."

"In that case, shut up and come home with me," Steven said emotionlessly. Then, he turned to me and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you."

"It's good that you're aware," I said impolitely. "Please control the people around you. Tell them to stop bothering me. It's annoying."
