The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chloe was momentarily speechless.

I maintained my composure and said, "First of all, you need to understand the situation. I have never made things difficult for Jessica. She has always been annoyed with me, and I was just responding in kind. However, you spread rumors indiscriminately and came to my company to slander me." Chloe seemed taken aback by the seriousness of my words. She retorted, "Well, you reap what you sow. You should reflect on why she has issues with you!"

She then launched into a tirade. She had used this tactic many times before, and it often yielded good results. Over time, she seemed to believe that this approach was effective.

I decided to call the police upon seeing Chloe's aggressive demeanor. She looked down at me and threatened, "If you don't stop, I'll go straight to Steven and tell him not to come looking for you."

"Is that so?" I replied as I provided the police with the company's address.

Chloe's face turned pale. "I haven't done anything wrong. What can the police do to me?"

If it were just typical insults, the police might not have taken action. However, since I was considered a public figure, Chloe's actions could easily damage my reputation and affect the sales of my products. Moreover, Chloe had insulted Huxham Corporation, which could have serious repercussions.

I submitted the evidence to the police, who were also surprised that Chloe was still causing trouble. They dutifully took her away for questioning.

Chloe finally began to feel fearful and struggled against being taken. Unfortunately for her, it was too late.

I watched her leave and then explained, "Everyone saw what just happened. If I truly loved her son, I wouldn't want his mother to end up in police custody. Besides, I have a boyfriend now. We have a great relationship."

Sasha still couldn't understand why

Chloe was so shameless. "What is wrong with her? You've completely cut ties with her son, yet she still shows up at your company to confront you over Jessica. And she act's like you should accommodate her daughter-in-law? Who does she think she is?"

I shook my head. "I don't know."

Sasha wanted to continue the conversation, but she noticed someone approaching quickly and instinctively crouched down to hide among the crowd before slipping away.

Before leaving, she reminded me, "If Mr. Huxham asks if you've seen me, remember to say you haven't!"

I chuckled and replied, "Sure."

Just then, Zane appeared beside me. "What happened just now?"

I was surprised he had come over and felt a bit incredulous, but I answered calmly, "Same old story. Jessica was criticized online a few days age and blamed me for it. First, she tried to get Steven to help her salvage the situation. When that failed, she complained to Chloe."

Zane raised an eyebrow. I added, "Good thing I was prepared and had evidence of Jessica's wrongdoings. Chloe wasn't satisfied and continued to insult me. It was quite harsh, so I called the police." novelbin

Zane gently ruffled my hair. "As long as you're not bullied, that's what matters."

I smiled and replied, "Don't worry. I'm smart."

Someone nearby saw us talking and curiously asked, "Is he your boyfriend?"

I looked at Zane, who clearly had no intention of hiding the truth. "Yes." Everyone around us was astonished. "Her current boyfriend is Mr. Huxham?"
