The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 343

The next day, feeling intensely guilty about what had happened the night before, Monica gave Chloe the day off.

This played perfectly into Chloe's plans. After catching up on some much-needed sleep, she resumed her deep dive into John's background.

From what she had gathered, John was a notorious billionaire based in Kandaria. His business empire was incredibly expansive, straddling both legitimate enterprises and the criminal underworld. He had plenty of blood on his hands.

A man of his dangerous complexity wasn't someone she could easily approach or manipulate.

Chloe needed to know her enemy inside and out to find the perfect leverage and secure a decisive victory.

Evening quickly arrived.

Lydia Moore met up with Chloe early, and they grabbed dinner together.

“Chloe, during our meeting with Mr. Hayes last time, he was asking about you. I get the feeling he's still interested in you.”

“What about you? What are your thoughts on him now?”

Lydia wasn't just gossiping; she was carefully testing the waters.

Seeing Chloe immediately frown and shake her head, Lydia breathed a sigh of relief.

“That's exactly what I thought! I mean, Mr. Hayes is handsome and incredibly successful, but he's totally clueless when it comes to relationships! If you got back together with him, you'd only end up miserable!”

She cleared her throat and added softly,

“On the other hand, I think Mr. Shaw is fantastic! He's so considerate. Anyone who ends up with him would be incredibly lucky...”

Chloe stood up. “Get your things together. It's time to head out.”

Lydia pouted. “Chloe, were you even listening to a word I said?”

Chloe replied evenly, “I heard you. Let's get moving.”

Lydia threw her hands up. “Fine, fine, I got it! You are impossible. All you care about is work. Handsome men have absolutely no effect on you!”

The two soon arrived at the venue.

It was an exclusive, wildly luxurious private club in the city, with annual membership fees exceeding a hundred thousand dollars. The security was notoriously strict, meaning ordinary people couldn't even get close to the entrance.

Relying on her staff credentials, Lydia smoothly escorted Chloe inside.

Once through the doors, Lydia had to go meet Preston.

“Chloe, please be careful.”

Chloe nodded. “Don't worry.”
