Chloe stared at Andrea with icy indifference as Andrea raved like she’d completely lost her mind, and there was hardly a flicker of emotion on Chloe’s face.

She couldn’t even be bothered to say a single word to Andrea.

Andrea had ended up like this because she was just too greedy.

It was all because she always wanted more.

If she had just taken that 60 million and stopped there, things wouldn’t have turned out so badly.

Or if she had simply accepted the 30 million from the Hayes family and known when to quit.

Or even if she had agreed to Ian’s generous payout, taken his card, and walked away for good.

She never would have ended up in such a sorry state.

Mia glared at Andrea, her anger barely contained, and retorted, “Seriously, Andrea, have you been binge- reading those romance stories where the billionaire only loves some poor Cinderella? Where on earth did you get the delusion that if my brother ever divorced Chloe, he’d just turn around and marry you?”

Andrea glared at Mia, her eyes blazing and voice trembling with spite as she barked, “Why are you acting all high and mighty, Mia? If you hadn’t been born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you’d probably be worse off than me–so wipe that smug look off your face!”

Miranda held Mia back as she started to get angry.

Miranda said, “Andrea, you took 60 million from our old man, and when he found out you just wouldn’t quit. You tried playing the sympathy card, wanting to run back here and chase after Ian, and that’s what ended up with you marrying someone overseas. From the start, our old man just wanted you far away from the Hamilton family. Everything that happened was because you couldn’t stop scheming to marry rich. This whole mess is your own doing–don’t try to blame anyone else.”

Seeing what was happening, Laura Terry, Andrea’s mother, pointed at Andrea, her expression turning harsh. “We had no clue what she was up to outside. She’s the one who’s brought all this trouble on the family. Do whatever you want to her, but leave my son and grandson out of it!”

Andrea’s brother and sister–in–law immediately joined in, hurriedly backing her

Andrea looked at her mom, her brother, and his wife, completely stunned and unable to believe what she was seeing.

Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she practically snarled through gritted teeth, “Mom, bro, sis–in–law–for you, for this family, I’ve sacrificed so much! And now, after all I’ve done, you guys are just gonna act like 1 never mattered to you at all?”

Laura, her son, and his wife just turned away, refusing to look at Andrea any longer. Their guilty faces said it all–they wanted nothing more to do with her now.

Just then, police sirens started blaring outside.

Everyone began whispering and gossiping, the room buzzing with rumors about what might be happening.

Andrea, looking completely wrecked, rushed over to lan, only to get stopped cold by two bodyguards.

She was totally losing control now, her eyes flashing with bitter defiance.

She laughed and cried at the same time, crazed and unstable as she looked wildly around at everyone, and finally, her gaze zeroed in on Jan.

Andrea shrieked, her voice crazed and desperate, “lan, don’t kid yourself–just because you’re chucking me in jail doesn’t mean you get a fresh start with your precious Chloe!”

She jabbed a trembling finger at lan, her eyes burning with fury. “You bent over backwards to hide Clint’s real identity–stuck by me and my son’s side in the hospital for a month, just so Chloe would never know. You even forged fake paternity papers for me! Every ounce of care you gave us came at Chloe’s expense. Even if I’m out of the picture, don’t think you two can just pick up where you left off!”

lan found himself drifting toward Chloe, unable to resist the pull–his body moved before his mind could catch up.

His eyes were slightly bloodshot as he faltered, trying to tug the corner of his lips into a smile, but in the end, not a single word escaped him.

Chloe spared lan a look, then turned to Arthur. “This is so dull. Let’s get out of here.”

Every single word Andrea spat out was an undeniable fact–there was no changing any of it now.

Even if lan personally took Andrea down, there was no way Chloe would ever get back together with him.

No one else had a say in what happened between her and Ian.

This was all on lan–every decision, every mistake, was his alone.

Andrea saw Chloe staying calm and totally unfazed, just getting ready to leave like none of this drama had ever touched her.

She was seething with jealousy, lost it completely, and just couldn’t stand the unfairness of it all.

Out of nowhere, she grabbed a fruit knife off the waiter’s cart and suddenly lunged at Chloe with wild eyes.

Even if she had to die, Andrea was hell–bent on taking Chloe down with her.

If she was doomed, then Chloe was going with her–no way that bitch was getting out of this untouched!

“Chloe!”

The whole crowd cried out at once.

Jan and Arthur didn’t hesitate–they both shot out their legs, booting Andrea so hard she sailed across the

They didn’t pull any punches, putting everything they had into the kick.

Andrea flew several meters before smashing straight into a table with a thunderous crash.

Glasses, the champagne tower, and cake all went down in a heap with her–Andrea landed hard, blood gushing from her mouth as she lay there, totally unable to get up,

Ian and Arthur both spun around, faces tight with concern, and asked Chloe, “Are you hurt?”

Chloe brushed lan off with effortless composure, shook her head, and replied coolly, “I’m fine.

Chloe looked down at Andrea, who lay in a miserable, twisted heap on the floor. She didn’t feel a shred of pity, and there was zero satisfaction in her eyes–she was completely unfazed, like none of this mattered to her in the slightest.

Back then, Chloe gave up the major she loved and her job for Ian–she let herself become completely dependent on him.

Three years stuck as a housewife, and she wound up losing her marriage, her family, and even her sense of

self.

Thankfully, she woke up before it was too late and carved out her own place in the world through sheer hard work.

As for Andrea? She was plotting and playing games every step of the way.

That’s what happens to a woman who never tries to hustle for herself and thinks she can get ahead just by latching onto a man.

Chloe watched as the police officers came in and immediately restrained Andrea and Wade. She linked arms with Arthur and strode out, totally unfazed by the chaos erupting behind her.

Ian watched in stunned silence as Chloe walked away, his eyes filled with heartache. He didn’t try to stop her; in that moment, all he could do was stand there and let her go.

Andrea was pinned at the scene by two police officers, struggling but unable to break free.

She caught sight of Ian, standing there utterly helpless as Chloe left him behind—and erupted into a fit of hysterical laughter, the sound ringing out like she’d finally snapped.

Andrea pointed a shaking finger right at Ian, wild–eyed and furious. “Ian, I threw everything I had into you- risked it all for you–and this is how you turn around and kick me to the curb? You’re cold, you’re ruthless! I swear, may you spend the rest of your pathetic life madly in love with someone you’ll never, ever get!”

Seeing how things were falling apart, Laura Terry, along with Andrea’s brother and sister–in–law, kept their heads down and hugged the walls as they made their way toward the exit, all hoping to slip out without drawing any attention.

Andrea was hauled off by the police, thrashing wildly and shrieking at the top of her lungs, her words twisted

with hatred and hysteria as she hurled curses at everyone in the room–every last person, she wanted them all to suffer along with her.
