She made up her mind to inform him about Ava’s deceitful actions.

As Icarus heard the details, fury ignited within him.

“My nephew’s a fool!” Icarus exclaimed, his anger evident.

Chloe shrugged and replied, “Feel free to tell him that yourself. If I were to tell him, he might see it as me defaming Ava.”

“Thank you, Chloe. Jake will surely regret his actions,” Icarus expressed his gratitude.
