At that moment, Chloe Marshall understood Nora Ainsworth's heart.
It wasn't that she didn't love Quentin Grant. Perhaps she did this precisely because she loved him too much.
Her phone rang. Chloe Marshall glanced at the caller ID—it was Ethan Ellsworth. She didn't answer. Instead, she stood up, put the slip of paper in her pocket, and went into the bathroom to wash her face.
She put on her hat, grabbed her bag, and went downstairs.
As she exited the building, she saw Ethan Ellsworth's car still parked in the distance in front of Jean Grant's villa.
Under a streetlight, Ethan Ellsworth was leaning against the hood of the car, his expression cold.
Chloe Marshall opened the back door and got right in. Ethan Ellsworth got in as well.
"Why didn't you answer my call?"
Chloe Marshall lay down on the back seat and closed her eyes. She didn't want to talk. 'Sometimes, when you have no standing, it's best to say nothing at all.'
