Jay no longer insisted. He merely walked toward Angeline and whispered, "If my mother makes things difficult for you, there's no need for you to endure it. Find an excuse to come home."
Angeline smiled and nodded. "Alright."
Then, Angeline, accompanied by Josie and Sis Shirley, went to Chloe’s residence-the Fleeting Time Villa.
Chloe's villa was crowded with her childhood playmates every day. After her long absence, there seemed to be endless topics between the girlfriends.
When Angeline and her companions arrived, the room filled with women stared at her covetously. Their eyes were so sharp that they almost pierced countless holes into Angeline's soul as they checked out every single inch of her body.
Angeline’s body instantly stiffened. She was like a child who had recently learned how to walk, her steps somewhat awkward and messy.
Chloe sat on the sofa with a teacup in her head. She was sipping the tea leisurely and did not bother raising her gaze.
Angeline walked up to her and called out timidly, " Mom."
Chloe did not respond to her either, merely glancing at her dimly.
The whole atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Angeline hurriedly handed over the gift she had prepared and said with a flattering smile, "Mom, this i s a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it.”
Chloe took the box and opened it in public.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the box.
Inside the box lay a set of jade jewelry. The color was clear, and the style was complicated. It exuded the charm of belonging to royalty.
All the women were stunned as they exclaimed, "This set of jewelry is indeed extraordinary."
