Chapter 1076

The moment the hospital room door closed, silence fell, filled only with the echo of Crysti’s scornful laugh.

Chloe arranged the bouquet of flowers into a beautiful shape and placed them in a vase before finally carrying it out.

Crysti didn’t watch her, but her eyes were fixed on the flowers on the cabinet.

“Do you think they’re pretty?” Chloe asked.

“Yeah.”

“Pity they’ll wilt by tomorrow.”

That caught Crysti’s attention. “What do you mean?”

Chloe sat by the hospital bed, playing with her watch.

“Because they’ve lost their roots, and left their mother plant. For them, the water in the vase is only a temporary nourishment, just delaying their wilting process.”

Crysti was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, “Are you here to convince me to compromise with my family or to discuss a collaboration with me?”

Chloe shrugged, “If I could achieve both, that’d be the best outcome for me. Sure, I’m mainly interested in you, but if I can snatch up you as the daughter of the Watson family, that’d be even more thrilling! You have just confronted those two with the attitude of a young lady from the Watson family. I think it won’t be long before you can return to that position.”

“So why bother with this?”

“What would the Watsons owe me if I could help you return to them?”

Crysti’s eyes widened, “Can’t you be a bit more subtle? Why be so blunt?”

“Don’t you get it? Rather than have you guessing and thinking I’m too opportunistic, I’d rather be upfront. At least I’d seem a bit cute then…”

Crysti’s eyes grew wider, full of disbelief. In the end, after pondering for a moment, she burst out laughing. “You’re right… But who would’ve thought, a strong woman like you, wanting to be described as ‘cute“?”
