CHAPTER 123
Inside the quiet sanctuary of Ethan's off-campus apartment, the heavy curtains remained drawn tightly against the afternoon sunlight.Ethan sat on the edge of the living room sofa, staring blankly down at his phone resting on the coffee table as it buzzed continuously with incoming notification alerts.Cynthia paced slowly across the carpet, her arms crossed over her chest, her face pale and etched with deep lines of exhaustion. She glanced at him, noting the visible tension in his shoulders and the heavy frown pulling at his lips. They had been like this kow for hours and she was tired of the suffocating worry. She walked over, reached down, and picked up his phone, switching it off completely before doing the same to her own."Let those be off," Cynthia said softly, tossing both phones onto the far end of the sofa. "Come on. Let's try and clear our minds and hope this blows over by tomorrow."Ethan looked up at her, a dry, frustrated scoff escaping his lips. "Blows over? Cynthia, lo
CHAPTER 122
At Chloe's declaration the entire assembly hall erupted into deafening murmuring. Whispers of outrage, gasps, and angry jeers came from every direction around them.Cynthia sprang to her feet, her face turning crimson with pure rage. She marched out into the aisle, screaming at the stage at the top of her lungs. "What the fuck, Chloe?! Are you out of your God damn mind?!"The sudden, piercing scream cut through the murmuring crowd, causing the entire hall to fall into silence. Dozens of student phones instantly brought out their phones to record what was going on."I know you're a desperate, pathetic bitch trying to get back with Ethan," Cynthia yelled, furious and pointing a finger at Chloe on the stage, "but what the hell is wrong with you?! Are you fucking crazy?! You belong in a mental hospital, you delusional liar!"Seeing the camera's Ethan immediately got up and went to her, grabbing Cynthia's wrist and trying to pull her away from the crowd's eyes so they could leave. "Babe, I

The next morning the doors of the Aethelgard University vice chancellor's office swung open, and Chloe walked in, flanked by her wealthy, influential parents who contributed millions to the institution's endowment fund.Vice Chancellor Henderson looked up from his polished oak desk, his expression instantly shifting from annoyance to nervous deference as he recognized one of his most powerful board donors."Mr. and Mrs. Matthews," Henderson said quickly, rising from his chair and adjusting his tie. "I wasn't informed you were visiting campus today. Please, sit down. What can I do for you?"Mrs. Matthews crossed her arms, her face hardened with righteous fury as she stepped right up to the edge of the desk. "We didn't come here for a social visit, Henderson. Our daughter came to us this morning in absolute tears, shaking and terrified for her life.""Terrified?" Henderson echoed, blinking in alarm as he glanced at Chloe, who stood behind her parents with her head bowed, dabbing a tissu

Inside the executive suite of Simon Corporate Intelligence, Simon stood near the floor-to-ceiling glass window, slowly swirling an amber glass of whiskey in his hand.The double doors swung open, and his assistant walked in, breathing slightly heavily as he adjusted his necktie."Sir," the assistant said, his voice tense with visible nervousness. "You asked me to return immediately after finalizing the deal with Miss Chloe."Simon turned around, a broad, triumphant smile spreading across his face. He walked over to the marble side table, poured a second glass of drink, and held it out toward his assistant."Take a seat, my man," Simon said cheerfully, gesturing toward the leather armchair.The assistant blinked, taking the glass with a trembling hand, utterly stunned. He had worked under Simon for six years and had never seen his boss in such an elated mood.Simon walked around the chair, standing behind his assistant and placing a heavy, reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Do you have
Chapter 119
At Chloe's remark Simon's assistant let out a sudden, sharp burst of laughter, leaning back in his chair and shaking his head. "What? Connected to HVMX? Oh, please, Miss Chloe. I'm sure Ethan lied to you, and that was just one of his many lies.""No!" Chloe fired back instantly, annoyed that he didn't believe her. "Ethan didn't lie! He was literally the one who got Cynthia her brand ambassadorship deal with HVMX!"The assistant paused at Chloe's insistence and seriousness, his smile dropping instantly. "What?"He turned sharply to look at the two bodyguards standing near the entry hallway, his voice rising in sudden anger. "How did we miss this in our search for his background?!"He turned back to Chloe, trying to school his expression and not let her see in sudden panic. "Are you serious about this?""Yes!" Chloe said, leaning over the table. "Why do you think Cynthia has stuck with him through all of this? That greedy bitch probably knows she's settled for life"Simon's assistant st
CHAPTER 118
Chloe walked down the main paved walkway outside the Aethogard lecture hall, laughing quietly at a joke her friend Maya had just told.Before they reached the quad archway, a tall man in a tailored dark suit stepped directly into their path, flanked by two burly bodyguards in sunglasses."Are you Miss Chloe Matthews?" Simon's assistant asked, looking at Chloe intently trying to intimidate her.Chloe stopped dead in her tracks, her smile vanishing instantly. She stared up at the two bodyguards, her heart hammering against her ribs as a wave of panic hit her. "Yes... I am. Who are you? What the hell is going on here?""We need to speak with you," Simon's assistant said, stepping closer. "Privately.""What is this about?" Chloe asked, her voice trembling slightly as she instinctively took a step back."Not here," the assistant replied smoothly. "Let's go to your dorm house."Maya grabbed Chloe's arm, looking nervously between the assistant and the towering bodyguards. "Chloe, is everythi
