His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 468

Her clothes were already coated in grease and grime, her elegant black high-waisted trousers splattered with mud.

She seemed to be in an abandoned auto repair shop, surrounded by mountains of scrapped car parts and massive puddles of thick motor oil on the floor.

A woman stood a short distance away.

It was Chloe.

She was wearing that same cheap, filthy t-shirt. Her hair was a matted mess, and she radiated a sickening, rancid odor.

Playing with a sharp switchblade, she slowly approached Virginia.

"Sister, long time no see."

Chloe's smile twisted as she lightly tapped the flat of the blade against Virginia's pale cheek.

Virginia snapped fully awake.

Yet she didn't scream, nor did she show an ounce of panic. Instead, she stared at Chloe with absolute composure.

"You're just cornering yourself."

"Shut up!" Chloe shrieked, pressing the tip of the blade hard against Virginia's jaw. "Cornering myself? You're the reason I'm like this!"

She gestured wildly to the foul-smelling clothes on her own body.

"Look at me! I used to wear designer gowns and eat imported delicacies! And now? I'm hiding in a basement, rotting away like a rat!"

Chloe leaned in, her eyes swimming in deranged jealousy.

"And what about you? You're parading around in Vanderbilt family heirlooms, living in South Hill, being treated like a queen by Archer!"

"Eighteen years of a stolen life. The resources, the connections, the adoration the Caldwells showered on you—which of those weren't forcefully taken from me? Even Archer was originally my arranged match."

"Bullshit!"

Chloe grabbed her own hair in a frantic breakdown, letting out a bloodcurdling shriek. The next second, she backhanded Virginia violently across the face.

Red welts instantly bloomed across Virginia's cheek, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

"You bitch! I'm not listening to your poison!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you die easily. You took everything from me and drove me to this hell. I will make sure you suffer!"

Chloe panted heavily, her eyes completely hijacked by madness. "I'm going to make Archer watch you get destroyed. I'm going to make him realize that I am the only one who truly loves him!"

Screaming her final threat, she pulled out the burner phone and dialed Archer's private number.
