After Divorce, I Returned as the Army's Queen novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 If Chloe Wanted to Use Him, He’d Let Her

Carla was clearly trying to use the Quall family’s influence to make Chloe smooth over all of Sonya’s

current negative press.

After all, the Greens and Millers had already tried to suppress the news and online chaos, but it simply

couldn’t be contained.

The matter was only escalating. If things continued like this, not only would it ruin Sonya’s image as the

hero who’d saved people during the fire, but she might also be kicked out of AeroQuest Airlines.

So, the top priority was to quash the negative press.

Brian was standing behind Chloe. If he were willing to step in, the matter would be handled.

Willow also seized the chance to say, “That’s right, Great–Grandpa. Sonya had such a bright future ahead of her, but she’s ended up like this because of Chloe. Shouldn’t Chloe be held responsible? Or are you going to cover for her because she has Brian backing her now?”

Willow’s words made Geoffrey frown. He looked at Willow with a sharp gaze. “I didn’t know you’d become

so eloquent!”

Despite Geoffrey’s stare, Willow continued, “I just think that Sonya’s really pitiful. She worked so hard to

get everything she has, but Chloe destroyed it so easily.”

“Chloe didn’t ruin her. She ruined everything herself!” Geoffrey had naturally heard some bits of

information about the scandal after it blew up so much.

“Are you saying that Chloe bears no blame at all? Even though they’re related, Chloe pressed Sonya so hard during the interview that she left halfway. Otherwise, she would never have been kidnapped!” Willow said unhappily.

Then, she continued, “Or is the Quall family a place where we can do whatever we want as long as we have a strong enough backer?”

Of course, the backer she was referring to was Brian.

She wanted to make Chloe the target of everyone’s anger and to turn the Quall family against Chloe. She also wanted to avenge Leonard for the humiliation he’d just suffered because of Chloe.

Before Geoffrey could respond, Brian spoke up.

“So, with me as her backer, she can do whatever she wants in the Quall family?” he asked in a cool, unhurried voice.

Willow stiffened and turned to him. “Isn’t that exactly what’s happening? Chloe’s acting so recklessly because of you. She even punched my dad just now. She showed him no respect even though he’s her elder. Brian, she’s just using you as a tool. Can’t you see that?”

Brian’s lips curved up faintly. “Is that so? If she’s using me as a tool, I’d be really happy.”

At least that would mean that she needed him.

“What did you say?” Willow stared at Brian in disbelief, unable to accept that such words had come from a man who was usually so proud and aloof.

The others around them also looked stunned. Only a love–struck fool would say such a thing.

But could Brian really be a love–struck fool? With his looks and the rumors surrounding him, how could anyone think of him that way?

“I said, if Chloe wants to use me, I’d gladly accept it!” Brian’s voice rang loud and clear, his gaze softening

as it landed on Chloe.

It was as if being used by Chloe was the best thing in the world.

Willow gritted her teeth. Brian’s words struck her like a harsh slap across the face, especially with so many members of the Quall family present.

They’d always assumed that she and Brian were destined to be together. Yet, Brian had publicly admitted to dating Chloe during that interview and now, with those words, he was basically declaring that Chloe was the only woman in his heart.

As for Willow, she was nothing.

There was no way she could accept that.

“Brian, have you forgotten what happened to your parents? Do you think Chloe can handle the weight of the feelings of a member of the Steele family? If she betrays you one day, then you-” Willow said.

Brian’s face suddenly darkened, and his eyes flashed with menace.

Just as he was about to act, Chloe quickly grabbed his hand and stepped forward, facing Willow.

“Whether I can bear his feelings is between him and me. It’s not for you to comment on it. As for his parents, it’s definitely not your place to comment.

“Willow, if you keep spouting such useless nonsense, I’ll hit you. The more nonsense you spout, the more I’ll hit you. You can go ahead and try!”

“You…” Willow bit her lip, the image of Chloe just punching Leonard making her hesitate.

Brian stared at Chloe in a daze. Chloe gripped his hand tightly, as if she were quietly trying to tell him that she wouldn’t leave him no matter what happened.

Chloe turned to look at Geoffrey. “Great–Uncle, I only came today to reclaim my parents‘ house. I’ll send all the relevant paperwork to the authorities afterward. I hope Uncle Leonard won’t cause any more trouble.”

“If he dares to do anything, I’ll kick him out of the family!” Geoffrey snapped.
