The car interior was cramped and dead silent. Derek Bennett’s voice came through the phone clearly, loud enough for Miranda Hale to hear every word.
Miranda’s eyes snapped toward Sandra Bennett.
Sandra reflexively looked back at her, then whispered into the phone, “Derek, what are you talking about? What do you mean Chloe spread those rumors?”
‘Ethan already investigated it!” Derek sounded like he was losing his mind. “The anonymous tip sent to the media came from our family’s IP. I just checked-it was sent from Chloe’s computer!”
Derek was frantic. “Bring her back here right now. I want to know what the hell she was thinking!”
Miranda’s face sank. Her eyes burned with a cold, rising fury.
“There must be a mistake!” Sandra blurted out.
‘How could there be a mistake? I saw-”
Derek didn’t realize Miranda was in the car. Before he could finish, Sandra hung up.
Miranda, it has to be a misunderstanding.” Sandra tossed her phone aside and reached for Miranda’s hand.
Miranda pulled away. “I hope it is. We’ll find out as soon as we see Chloe.”
Sandra looked sheepish. She didn’t even dare to breathe loudly as she stealthily messaged Chloe via WhatsApp.
Did
you
leak the story about Jaxon and Mia?]
Why would you do that?!]
Do you have any idea how much damage this caused Ethan and Bayview?]
There has to be a misunderstanding. When you see your aunt later, you better explain yourself carefully!]
Your aunt is furious. Do not say the wrong thing.]
Even after Ethan left you abroad, your aunt still came with me to pick you up. Watch your mouth!]
Chloe had escaped Asteria. The moment she stepped off the plane, she turned on her phone.
A flood of messages poured in. They flashed by too fast for her to read properly; she only caught the last one.
Miranda was here to pick her up?
Chloe assumed she was coming to apologize for Ethan abandoning her. She was definitely going to complain to Miranda.
At the arrival gate, the Hale family driver was waiting.
‘Why didn’t my aunt and mom come in?”
Chloe was annoyed to see only the driver.

The driver took her luggage and nodded. “Ms. Bennett, this way, please.”

Chloe huffed and followed him to the parking lot. The door to the Rolls-Royce was open.
Miranda sat inside. The dim light masked the severity of her expression. Sandra sat in the back, frantically winking at Chloe.
But it was too dark; Chloe didn’t see a thing.
Aunt Miranda.” Chloe climbed in and sat next to her. “Ethan was truly awful. He… he took me abroad just to force a pre-marital checkup on me. He doesn’t trust me. Then he just left me there all alone!”
She figured the mention of a “pre-marital checkup” would make Miranda pity her even more. Miranda had watched her grow up. For years, Chloe had stayed pure for Ethan, never even holding another man’s hand. To be loubted like that by Ethan….
So, you hired someone to leak the news about Jaxon and Mia as revenge? You wanted to distract Ethan so you could escape the hospital?”
Miranda had been trying to figure out why Chloe would ever hurt Ethan. Now, it finally made sense.
W-what?” Chloe didn’t follow. But she realized Miranda was angry-very angry.
Shouldn’t she be mad at Ethan? Why was she mad at her?
Chloe!” Sandra shouted. “Did you see the news back home?”
Within two sentences, Sandra realized Chloe hadn’t seen the texts. She tried to tip her off.
