The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 334

Now, hearing him demand an apology, she was about ready to scream every curse word in the book.

Her eyes went wide, refusing to believe what she was hearing. "You want her to apologize? For what?!"

Preston's expression remained perfectly blank. "Regardless of the circumstances, hitting someone is wrong."

He looked right at Chloe, his voice dropping into a darker register. "Given the injuries Jenna suffered, a simple apology isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Chloe finally turned around.

She met Preston's gaze dead on. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable, bone-chilling absolute certainty.

"Apologize? Not a chance in hell."

She paused for a second before adding, "Whatever you decide to do about it is your own business."

With that, she walked away without ever looking back.

Preston stared after her, his eyes churning with complex emotions.

It wasn't until Jenna frantically called his name a few more times that he finally snapped back to reality.

He quickly said, "Jenna, let's get you to the hospital to have that checked out."

Jenna couldn't believe Chloe was actually getting away with slapping her.

She gripped Preston's sleeve, her voice dripping with resentment. "She hit me! Why aren't you mad at her? Are we just going to let this slide?"

Preston sighed. "She's in a bad mood. From now on, don't provoke her."

Even he couldn't count how many times she had slapped him.

Over time, he had shockingly grown accustomed to it.

Jenna thought she had misheard him, drowning in a wave of immense grievance.

But seeing the faint trace of impatience on Preston's face, she didn't dare push any further.

After all, it seemed Preston had traced that incident with the dog back to her.

Even though he hadn't explicitly said anything, she could feel that he was extremely displeased.

She gritted her teeth and backed down. "Preston, I'm not going to the hospital. I want to find Dr. Sharpe. I need to find Caroline Monet."

Her main goal in accompanying Liana to The Republic of Veritas was to track down Caroline Monet.

Caroline had spent years at the Sterling Interpretation Institute; it was highly likely she had already secured her citizenship here.
