Emily nodded in silent agreement, munching on a handful of popcorn.
Joseph was the kind of man who could lift you to the skies one moment and ruthlessly plunge you into the abyss of despair the next. The memory of him purchasing all the extravagant bags in Aesper and delivering them to Chloe in trucks felt as fresh as if it had occurred yesterday. All men were the same. After they got the things they wanted, they stopped cherishing them.
"What are your plans now?" Emily asked.
"I don't want to stay here anymore," Chloe replied, her eyes downcast and her expression sad.
"But what about your company?"
"I'll sell it."
She felt no sentimental attachment to the Johnson Group, and it was primarily a repository of painful memories. Now, it simply served as a tool for financial gain. During her year and a half of management, she had not focused on expanding its size, but rather on securing stable resources. Selling it would not pose any challenge.
Emily became sad and said, "If you leave, we'll become long-distance best friends, and it'll be difficult to meet."
"Don't worry. I'll come back to see you," Chloe reassured her.
"Why not go to Estre? My company is offering two spots to study there, and one of them is reserved for me. I haven't decided yet."
"Estre... Noah had invited me there for business."
Emily slapped her thigh excitedly, "Perfect! We can go together!"
"Let me sell the company first," Chloe replied.
Going to Estre was an option, but before that, she wanted to visit the southern region. Benjamin had previously mentioned that it was her mother's place of origin.

The next day, Chloe did not spend time with Emily. Instead, she bought a new phone and got a temporary ID card. She took care of all the necessary replacements, such as bank cards and SIM cards, using the temporary ID card. Then, she found a hotel to stay in.
