His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 109

Madeline immediately called Chloe.

"Chloe, what exactly is the deal with that Robert guy you recommended?"

On the other end of the line, Chloe sounded perfectly confused. "Mom, what happened? Why do you sound so panicked?"

Madeline gave her a quick rundown of how Robert had tried to grope Virginia and insulted her during the blind date. Finally, dropping her voice, she revealed that Archer had been there and restrained Robert.

There was a few seconds of silence on the line before Chloe's pitiful, trembling voice came through.

"How could this happen? Mom, I swear I had no idea he was like that. When my friend brought him up, they said he was a great guy on paper, so I... Oh my god, Virginia isn't hurt, is she?"

In reality, she was clenching her fists, her eyes filled with venom.

That bitch! How dare she seduce Archer into rescuing her!

Hearing Chloe's terrified tone, Madeline let out a heavy sigh. "I heard she's fine."

"That's so scary... It's all my fault. I should have done a better background check before recommending him to Virginia..." Chloe paused before continuing, "Mom, Robert turned out to be a jerk, but I heard he has a friend who is genuinely a good man from a great family. What if we..."

"Not right now," Madeline interrupted, rubbing her throbbing temples. "After a disaster like this, we need to let things cool off for a few days."

Chloe stalled for a second, a flicker of dark malice flashing through her eyes, though her voice remained as sweet as ever. "You're right. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Nothing." Chloe muttered under her breath, feigning innocence. "It's just that I heard Archer ruined her last date too, and now he shows up at this one... I'm so worried. I'm scared they're going to keep getting tangled up with each other..."

Madeline gripped her phone, staying quiet for a long time.
