Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 197

"Happy now?" Emilia asked, her smile edged with mockery.

Chloe understood exactly what Emilia meant. Fury burned in her chest; she wanted nothing more than to snap back, but Tyler held her firmly in place.

"Chloe, that's enough," Tyler said, frowning.

If this scene continued any further, the entire event would be ruined beyond repair.

Chloe knew that too. The last thing she wanted was for Tyler to find out that she'd just cornered Emilia about Cerulion.

All she could do was glare at Emilia, who still wore that infuriating, taunting smile.

Hatred simmered inside her.

"It was just an accident," Chloe finally managed, forcing a tight-lipped smile, each word squeezed through clenched teeth.

"These things happen at tastings," she said, trying to sound casual.

Emilia looked at Chloe for a moment, then turned to leave.

"Emilia," Tyler called, reaching for her hand.

Emilia yanked her arm away, her movement sharp and unyielding.

"Next time, if you plan to bring Vivienne to an event, have the decency to warn me first."

She spoke slowly, each word deliberate, her eyes fixed on him. "I don't want to share a room with a mistress. It makes me feel…"

Her gaze flickered coldly to Vivienne.

"Disgusted."

"Emilia!" Tyler's voice was tight with warning, anger barely restrained.

But the next moment, Emilia's icy stare met his. With a single, cutting glance, she shut him out completely and strode away, her gown trailing behind, head held high.

Tyler stood there, fists clenched, watching her walk away with effortless poise.

He narrowed his eyes, then glanced down at Chloe, who was now pretending to be absorbed with cleaning off her dress.

By now, they'd left the main hall and were backstage, trying to compose themselves.
