Chapter 251
Luka went to pick up the luggage dejectedly as a trace of resentment appeared on his face. ‘If it weren’t for Chloe, I would not have ended up like this.’ However, none of these mattered anymore. Both of them were on the same boat now, and their interests tightly bound together. It was far too late to leave now.
A sliver of resentment toward Nicole then appeared in his eyes. ‘It’s all that damned Nicole’s fault that I end up like this. If I ever run into you in this country again, just see how I do you in!
Chloe walked out of the hotel door and hailed a taxi as she headed straight to the airport. Sitting at the boarding gate, she angrily gave Miley a call. Upon receiving the call, Miley was surprised as she asked, “Chloe, aren’t you filming now? Why do you have time to call mommy?
Chloe’s voice was chilly. “Mom, where’s Uncle Daniel’s daughter, Nicole, now?”
Miley asked her quizzically, “Nicole? Why are you asking for her? She isn’t even a member of the Riddle family. You are a million times better than her, being cast for Nachelle Holder’s show at just twenty. You can surely inherit your mother’s mantle and become the most excellent actress…”
Chloe always loved to listen to Miley blowing her trumpet, but now every single word of hers was pricking her right in the heart, causing bursts of embarrassing pain.
Chloe could not help but interrupt her, “Mom, stop. Just tell me where Nicole is.”
Miley was surprised by her daughter’s attitude but thinking that she might be too tired from the filming, she comforted the latter. “Chloe, don’t be like that. You’ll look very rude. If you’re tired from filming, you can just tell mommy…”
Chloe could not stand it any longer and hung up. After a moment’s hesitation, she gave a call to Damien instead.
