The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1505

"Go ahead, I'm rooting for you. Don't sweat it, she's got a good heart. She'll give it to you without you even asking. Isn't she the daughter-in-law of the Olsons? Money shouldn't be a problem."
At Chloe's sarcastic words, Carolina's face turned extremely gloomy. Keira had been in the hospital for so long and the medical bills were indeed considerable. Moreover, she always had one problem or another, and supposedly she had to undergo all kinds of tests in the hospital. Those test fees must've added up to a significant sum.
Carolina wasn't sure how much money Keira had stashed away, but even if she had some, she was probably being monitored by those above her. They wouldn't let her use that money. The Olsons might be willing to give her money, but they might be at their wits' end with her by now. Asking the Olsons for money again might be possible, but it was always more justified to ask your own granddaughter for money, right?
"She's not my granddaughter. Don't try to fool me. If you can afford to spend billions on a man, you should at least give us a couple billion. If you don't, I'll come find you every day."
People were simply dumbfounded. There were many public figures in the company so they had to conduct themselves with restraint. But seeing Carolina like this, they couldn't help but explode in anger.
"What a shameless creature! Why doesn't she just drop dead?!"
"Truly, when people have no shame, they're invincible. I'm speechless in the face of such shamelessness."
"Billion? This old witch really has the nerve! If you dare to give her a penny, Ms. Summers, I'll blow up your company right away!"
"Count me in. She doesn't even look at herself. Billions, if I see this old witch, I'll be so disgusted that I'll live ten years less."
Chloe, however, was surprisingly calm. Instead of getting angry, she found it hilarious. Facing such a person, she felt helpless and amused. As for anger, she felt none right now, and she was glad her mentality was so good.
Billions, this really sounded like a joke.
She chuckled, turning her head to the two security guards beside her. Her laughing eyes, however, emitted a cold sharpness: "Do I have to beg you guys to kick her out?"
The two security guards were taken aback, then, without thinking twice, they stepped forward and grabbed Carolina's shoulders.
"What are you doing?! You're being insolent, daring to treat me like this! Chloe, you should know to be forgiving when you can. If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?! I'm your grandmother, I've raised you for so many years, where's your conscience?! Chloe, you really dare to treat me like this, you will have karma... Ah! It hurts!!"
Everyone watched as the security personnel escorted Carolina and pushed her straight out of the Starlight International's front door, and couldn't help but burst into applause.
"Well pushed! This formidable woman is really something."
"I used to think she had some semblance of a noble lady. How can she be so disgraceful now?"
"Right, I've seen her before. She did have some grace. Now she's completely different from before, just like a shrew."
"She's just too greedy, has she gone mad?"
Chloe picked up the cup on her desk again, finished the remaining water, and then walked out. Carolina got up from the ground and continued to shout outside. When she saw Chloe coming out, she wanted to rush up to stop her, but was blocked by several security personnel nearby and couldn't move at all.
Then she saw bodyguards in black suits surrounding Chloe from all directions, escorting her into a car, and watched as her car was sandwiched between two other cars and drove off.
Watching the cars disappear into the distance, Carolina, whose voice was nearly hoarse, finally relented and stopped shouting. She stared in the direction Chloe had left, grinding her teeth. She struggled a few times, trying to break free from the control of the security, but was held even tighter.
"Enough! The person has left, aren't you going to let go? Are you looking for death?"
The security personnel exchanged glances and cautiously let her go.
Finally freed, Carolina rubbed her sore shoulders and arms from being roughly held, and under the vigilant eyes of the security personnel, she let out a cold laugh and turned to leave Starlight International's door.
After she had left Starlight International's door, Carolina took out her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, this is Carolina. I want to hold a press conference, right outside Starlight International."
Despite the incident happening inside Starlight International, some people were still indignant and posted the scene on the internet, hoping to resonate with more people and criticize Carolina harshly.
In fact, Carolina's shameless behavior did easily incite public anger. The online comments about Carolina were really horrible. All sorts of harsh words were uttered. Each one was sharp, and each word pierced the heart.
Everyone collectively criticized one person, saying whatever they thought was harsh. It was indeed satisfying. Naturally, there were a few who couldn't stand it and condemned those who went too far, and also disagreed with Chloe's harsh words. Their comments, like Carolina's, tried to bind Chloe with morality and obligation.
"It's just that as her granddaughter, she should not be so calculating."
"No matter how wrong elders are, they are still elders. This attitude is really unacceptable."
"She's already apologized. Besides, she's old and doesn't have many years left, what's the harm in giving in a little?"
"If you're so rich, why care about this little money? Is it true that the richer people are, the more stingy they are?"
"Give her some money to satisfy her, so she won't come and bother you again. Isn't it better to pay for peace?"
Such comments were not uncommon, but in the end, they were silenced by the majority's criticism.
Chloe seemed totally unfazed. When she got home, both Rose and Yulia were looking at her with concern, which left her a bit puzzled. It wasn't until she found out someone had spilled the beans online about what happened that day that she got it. She didn't even bother to pick up her phone to check out the details.
"From the moment she popped up at the office, I kinda had a hunch what she was up to. Plus, I know what kind of person she is like the back of my hand. Once I got that figured out, no matter how low she stoops, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. There's nothing worth getting my knickers in a twist over, otherwise she might've pissed me off to death by now."
