Chloe’s eyes were red, her lower lip pressed tightly between her teeth

Seeing Chloe slowly calm down, lan leaned forward and gently wrapped his arms around her. Then he took a key from his pocket and placed it in her hand.

Ian said, “This is the key to the house in the city. Let your parents move back in!

Chloe pulled away from fan’s arms and took a step back.

She set the key aside, her voice firm. “My parents have a place to stay. If you truly care about them, then give the jewelry back to my family”

Ian met Chloe’s gaze. “You’re Mrs. Hamilton now. Letting your parents go on living in those relocation apartments just doesn’t fit.”

Chloe turned her face away. “Tan, it’s just us here. You don’t have to pretend.”

Jan’s eyes grew cold and intense as he stared at Chloe.

He shoved the key into Chloe’s hand again, his grip locking her fingers around it. ‘Chloe, this isn’t a negotiation. If you still want that jewelry, you’d better do as I say.”

His tone carried an unmistakable warning.

Chloe bit back her anger, squeezing the key so hard it hurt. “You’re always so good at convincing people–why don’t you go do it yourself?”

Jan shrugged, “No real reason. You’re simply the best person for this.”

Chloe felt like all the strength had been sucked right out of her–her legs turned to jelly, barely able to prop herself up.

She stumbled backward, only steadying herself by clutching onto the edge of the cabinet.

Ian wanted her to take the key and be the one to talk her parents into moving back into the Hamilton place.

All he really wanted was for her parents to believe she was staying in this marriage by choice, that she had no intention of leaving.

He was using her as a pawn in his game to win over her parents‘ hearts.

He was also using her–her attitude–to put her parents in their place.

Chloe just stood there, stunned, lost in her own thoughts for a good while.

She finally turned to Ian, her tone icy. “If you’re so afraid my parents will make you lose face, then hire them a maid, get them a private driver, and set it up so my brother can attend day school.”

As long as they didn’t get divorced, she’d have her claws in half of Ian’s wealth just by sticking around.

He could spoil his favorite woman and his son however he wanted, without a care in the world.

And she could spend his money recklessly, and there’d be nothing he could do about it.

If they were doomed from the start, then why not tear each other apart until there’s nothing left.

Ian answered with a faint smile, “We’re husband and wife now–what’s yours is mine, and looking after your parents is the least I can do.”

Ian walked up to Chloe, his hand almost touching her waist. “Tomorrow night, there’s a private jewelry event -I’ll introduce you to someone.”

He made it sound like a suggestion, but his tone left no room for objections.

Chloe just pulled at the corner of her mouth, staying silent.

To Ian, Chloe was just a pawn–whenever he needed to keep up appearances, she’d be dragged along, like it or

not.

The next night, Chloe made a striking entrance in a midnight blue gown dotted with sparkling stars, her arm hooked around Jan’s as they stepped into the room together.

Jan was decked out in a sleek black suit; with his impressive height, chiseled looks, and the aura of the undisputed Hamilton heir, he became the instant focal point the moment he walked in.

Together, they looked every bit the power couple–the kind that turns every head and sets tongues wagging as soon as they arrive,

A young couple walked over, and the man said, “lan, it’s been ages since we’ve seen you at one of these events.”

Ian slipped his arm around Chloe’s shoulders, his tone warm and affectionate, “My wife was overseas for some advanced training. Honestly, these things just aren’t the same without her.”

Mr. Langley jumped in right away with a compliment. “Look at you–no wonder everyone says you’re the husband every guy should aspire to be.”

Chloe’s lips curled into a mocking smirk, eyes flashing with sarcasm.

‘Of course, that’s just so him,‘ Chloe thought.

He could spin a lie so smoothly, you’d swear he believed it himself.

Ian turned to Chloe to make the introduction. “Chloe, this is Yvonne Langley–she graduated top of her class at medical school. I’m sure you two will have plenty to talk about.”

Chloe offered her a polite greeting.

The two of them worked together seamlessly, as if they’d rehearsed it a hundred times.

As Ian and Mr. Langley stepped away, Chloe and Yvonne slipped off to a secluded corner for a chat.

Just then, a young woman in a daring dress sauntered over, shooting Yvonne a challenging look. “I hear you know your stuff when it comes to jewelry, Mrs. Langley. Mind telling me how much this necklace on my neck is really worth?”

Yvonne swirled her wine glass with practiced elegance, her face pure arrogance, eyes dripping disdain. “Maybe it’s a treasure to you, but to me? It’s about as special as a bottle of wine my husband opens, or just loose change he’d waste on a random night out.”

The young woman’s face dropped in an instant.

Yvonne strutted right up in her high heels, and before the woman even knew what hit her, Yvonne had ripped the necklace straight off her neck.

The woman tried to snatch it back, but Yvonne coolly handed it to a passing waitress like it was nothing.

Yvonne shot her a dirty look and mocked, “Since you know it came from my husband, maybe try hiding it where you won’t embarrass yourself next time.”

The young woman, fuming, snapped, “Yvonne, don’t get cocky. Sooner or later, your husband’s gonna dump you!”
