“I didn’t want to argue with you, not because you’re tough, but because I didn’t want to stoop to your level. To see you as an important opponent would be beneath me,’ she said, narrowing her eyes in a dangerous glint, an aura of coldness enveloping her.

“But understand this, my patience is not a free pass for your arrogance. Where do you get off acting so high and mighty?”

Chloe glanced at Stephen and Rupin who were standing off to the side and smirked, “Is it because of you two?”

Rupin looked obviously uncomfortable while Stephen’s face turned ashen.

“Ms. Chloe… This woman has nothing to do with us.”

“Mr. Stephen,” Chloe smiled faintly, “Rhoda claims to be Rupin’s girlfriend, how can you say she has nothing to do with you?”

Stephen’s mouth twitched, “Our Dudley family would never accept such a woman. It’s impossible.”

“Why? She’s with Rupin every day. They’re public now. Mr. Stephen, you work for Harper Group, you should consider the company’s reputation.”

Stephen’s eyes twitched violently. He opened his eyes wide, pondering, “You mean to… have Rupin marry this woman?

Chloe smiled subtly, not saying anything.

Damon, who had been sitting on the couch, commented casually, “If this situation affects the company’s reputation and causes a one percent drop in the stock price, can you afford that? If you can, then there’s no need to discuss this further.”

Stephen’s face changed and he wobbled slightly.
