Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce

Chapter 530: A Stingy Man

Now that he was dead, the past seemed to have died with him.

Suddenly, Chloe didn’t know if she should keep on hating him.

A hand suddenly waved in front of her eyes. She snapped out of it to see Claire Monroe smiling warmly at her.

"What’s on your mind? You seem so lost in thought."

Chloe lowered her gaze, her long lashes fluttering. "He put me in danger so many times," she said. "But in the beginning, we were friends."

Claire blinked. "He’s dead. Are you sad?"

"I’m just wondering what Vera Holloway did to make him so utterly devoted to her." Chloe’s hand at her side clenched into a fist.

Claire patted her shoulder. "Whatever the reason, the fact is he hurt you time and again. You have no reason to be sad. He deserved to die; he got what was coming to him. The moment he decided to kill you, you should have known that you two stopped being friends a long time ago."

Chloe’s breath hitched. She looked up at her and slowly nodded. "Yes, you’re right."

Claire’s lips curved into a smile. "Don’t get caught up in pointless emotions. They’ll only cloud your judgment and make you indecisive. What you need to do now is shut down your feelings and make yourself stronger. After all, your enemies are the Vances."
