The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 56

Chloe thought to herself, "I knew it! Ava's been using my makeup again."

Ava had only been back for two hours, and her expensive makeup had already gone missing.

It had to be Ava.

She was always taking Chloe's stuff.

"Give it back."

This time, Chloe was adamant; she was not going to let Ava walk all over her anymore.

Ava asked, "What the hell are you shouting about? You can't even afford such pricey makeup. It must've been my brother who bought it for you. Why should I return something that my brother paid for? It was his money after all."

Chloe was fuming.

Even Amelia from the kitchen couldn't help but come out and say, "Young lady, how can you be so brazen about taking other people's things? That skincare set of Chloe's was actually from my madam..."

Amelia paused and corrected herself, "That pricey skincare set was a gift from Roxanne to Chloe, so what does your brother have to do with it? You just take people's things without a second thought. You really have no manners."

Ava snapped back and said, "You're just a nanny. Who do you think you are to talk back to me?"

In this household, Chloe had always treated them as her own family.

She always treated them with kindness. But they never treated her as a family member. They always bullied her.

Even Amelia had to stand up for her. But they arrogantly assumed that just because she married into their family, she was supposed to be oppressed.

"You're the one with no manners. Amelia is here to take care of Aria and Austin. She deserves respect. If you can't show respect, don't bother coming here during the holidays. This is my home, and I don't welcome impolite people.

And another thing. This necklace is mine, and this Cartier bracelet is also mine. You've been wearing them for years. Isn't it time you gave them back?"

Chloe pointed to the necklace and bracelet that Ava was wearing.

Ava had no intention of returning them.

Chloe walked right up and snatched them back.

Ava never realized Chloe had such strength.

"Where's the makeup set that Roxanne gave me? Bring it out."

Today, she would no longer indulge Ava.

If she continued to spoil Ava, she would be the stupidest person in the world.

Ava was taken aback. The once easy-going Chloe was now standing her ground.

Chloe's firmness left Ava and Charlotte in shock.

Chloe walked over to the couch, picked up Ava's handbag, and took out the makeup.

The handbag was also hers. It was a gift from Roxanne.

She even emptied out Ava's lipstick, mirror, ID, and everything else.

"Chloe, what the hell are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"

"I'm just taking back what's mine; it's only fair."

After grabbing her stuff, Chloe had Amelia take the kids and leave.

Amelia, pushing Austin in the stroller, said, "Chloe, you were really firm today. That's the way to stand your ground so you won't be bullied. Aria, isn't your mom awesome?"

Aria nodded, "Awesome, my aunt and grandma were so angry; their faces turned green. Mom's the best."

Chloe said, "Aria, I was wrong to teach you before that we should always be understanding to our family. We can't always let things slide and endure. If someone bullies us, we should fight back. But, we should never bully others without reason."

Aria nodded and said, "Mom, I understand. I won't let anyone bully me in the future."

Ava called Oliver and exaggerated how Chloe had bullied her.

Upon hearing this, Oliver immediately called Chloe, intending to scold her. But Chloe didn't pick up.

She and Amelia took the kids to the park for a picnic.

The tent, mats, and some food and drinks were all prepared by Amelia in advance.

Unable to reach Chloe, Oliver had no choice but to call Amelia.

Amelia asked her, "Chloe, do you want to take this call?"

Chloe took the phone and answered the call.
