"But there were no security cameras in that area, so no one believed me..."
In fact, not only did no one believe her, but they all took Jenna's side.
In the end, they forced her to apologize to Jenna.
This entire ordeal was an enormous blow to Lydia, leaving her in a constant state of panic.
Chloe remained silent, simply pulling her into an embrace and gently patting her back to soothe her.
Lucian walked back over.
Chloe's voice was calm. "Lucian, I apologize, but I won't be able to buy you dinner tonight."
"I have something I need to take care of."
Hearing this, Lydia anxiously grabbed her arm. "Chloe, don't go!"
Jenna was malicious and ruthless, and with Preston protecting her at every turn, Chloe would definitely be at a disadvantage if she confronted them head-on!
Chloe gently pried her hand away. "I can't just let this slide."
The only reason Jenna targeted Lydia was because Lydia had spoken up for Chloe yesterday.
Ultimately, this attack was aimed at her.
Lydia's eyes were red and swollen as she clung to Chloe, refusing to let go.
"I'm really fine. I just have to endure it and it'll pass. Please don't do anything reckless..."
Standing nearby, Lucian smoothly interjected, his tone light. "Do you need my help?"
Chloe paused, then looked up. "Lucian, I'll owe you a favor for this. Could you please help take my friend to the hospital?"
"Her injuries are severe, and she needs medical attention immediately."
"Of course," Lucian replied.
He supported Lydia, but Lydia kept a death grip on Chloe, refusing to let go.
"Chloe, please come to the hospital with me?"
Chloe's face was devoid of expression, but her amber eyes were sharp and cold, radiating a natural authority.
She said, "I'll be right back to find you."
Only then did Lydia slowly release her grip. She watched helplessly as Chloe's silhouette disappeared into the night, her heart a tangled mess of panic and unease.
Not long after, staff members brought a wheelchair and escorted Lydia into a car, sending her to the nearest hospital.
Lucian stood where he was, his dark gaze fixed on the direction Chloe had left. He zoned out slightly, lost in thought.
