Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 607

Just thinking about the whole situation made Frederick's blood boil.

He gave Chloe an allowance of no less than fifty thousand a month, yet she still went and sold herself to some old man for ten million.

He had always banked on her marrying into a wealthy family, just like Stella, to help boost his business connections.

Even though Stella refused to listen to him and he despised the girl, he had still managed to reap plenty of benefits in the business world simply by dropping the title of Julius Blackwood's father-in-law.

Chloe's face flushed with anger and embarrassment. "Dad, I already admitted I was wrong! You beat me, you yelled at me, you even locked me up and starved me for two days!

Wasn't that punishment enough? This is clearly Stella's fault, so why are you blaming me?"

She was burning with resentment. That marriage was supposed to be hers, and she was the one who was meant to be the glamorous society wife. Instead, it all fell into the lap of that country bumpkin, Stella.

So what if she went to South Africa with some old man?

He wasn't bothering her anymore, and she got a priceless diamond necklace out of the trip, not to mention a cool ten million. It was a win-win.

"You idiot! Do you have any idea how much money I've lost because of your shameless behavior?"

Ever since the scandal with the old man in South Africa broke, he hadn't been able to secure a single investor, and numerous suppliers had cut ties with him.

Even when he paraded around as Julius Blackwood's father-in-law, no one was buying it anymore.

He had tried to seek out Julius himself, but couldn't get past the front desk. Phone calls went unanswered, Stella ignored his calls, and his texts were met with dead silence.

Things had finally started thawing during the New Year when they visited the Blackwood Manor, but now, they were right back to square one.

"Dad, blaming me won't fix anything. If you want to save your business, you should be figuring out a way to get to Stella, not yelling at me."

Chloe stubbornly dug her heels in. "I didn't say anything wrong. I'm going back to campus."

Without sparing her parents another glance, she stormed out of the house.

Since she now had ten million in her bank account, she couldn't care less if her father cut off her allowance.

Frederick was completely livid. He slapped Miranda across the face and cursed, "Look at the wonderful daughter you raised! She's completely out of control!"

Miranda didn't dare defend her daughter any further, fearing his wrath. She spoke softly, trying to soothe him. "Frederick, please don't be angry. I also heard some other news.

Last night at the banquet, Grandma Blackwood officially announced that Julius and Stella's wedding will be held on the twenty-eighth of next month.

We need to find a way to make sure Stella invites us. The guest list will definitely be packed with top executives and business leaders.
