Chapter 216 Someone Pulling the Strings for Ava From Behind
Wyatt’s words unsettled Chloe, creating a sense of unease within her. She could not shake off the feeling that there was someone influential supporting Ava from behind the scenes. However, the substantial amount of money offered by Wyatt was too tempting to ignore.
Besides, considering that her relationship with the Johnsons was already strained, Chloe believed there was little to lose by assisting Wyatt. Therefore, she decided to help Wyatt. And as a show of sincerity, Wyatt transferred 50 thousand dollars as a deposit immediately after hanging up the phone.
Looks like Chloe was not the only one who found Ava detestable.
With the 100 thousand dollars, along with the money her mother had left her, she was getting
closer to her goal of accumulating 280 million.
On another note, Emily had recently sent over the jewelry her mother had left behind, but Chloe had not had the chance to sort it out properly.
‘Well, I guess I should take them to a specialized counter for maintenance and care later.
Just as Wyatt said, there was indeed a girl in the office who noticed that a celebrity was filming in the first-floor lobby. She asked if anyone wanted to go downstairs and take a look. Chloe raised her hand with a beaming smile, “Let’s go together.”
“Great, let me touch up my makeup!” exclaimed the colleague excitedly.
“Wait… Are you one of Wyatt’s fans?”
If her colleague was a fan of Wyatt, it would not be appropriate for Chloe to insult him in front of
her.
“Nope. I’m not.”
“That’s good then.”
In the lobby on the first floor, several cameras had been set up in different corners. A few of the main cast were standing in the middle, touching up their makeup, and Wyatt was among them.
Chloe had seen his photos online, so she immediately recognized him. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Wyatt’s gaze roamed around, searching for her. Chloe cleared her throat, signaling her presence. Wyatt caught sight of her and was stunned for a moment before nodding at her.
During the intermission, Ava came in with several assistants, carrying a tray of coffee. “I’m treating everyone to coffee on behalf of Wyatt today,” she announced.
“Thank you, Ms. Ava.”
“Ms. Ava is so generous and beautiful. Wyatt is truly lucky.”
“Thank you, Ms. Ava. We love you!”
Ava’s heart blossomed with joy. Just as she was basking in her triumph, she turned her head and locked eyes with Chloe, who wore a mischievous smile.
Nervously, Ava caressed the diamond necklace adorning her neck, feeling an unexplainable sense of guilt. Although she had never questioned Calvin about why he acknowledged her as his goddaughter, she was confident that it had something to do with this necklace. She sneakily took off the necklace and put it in her pocket. After that, she swiftly grabbed a cup of coffee to bring over to Wyatt.
Wyatt hesitated and said, “I’m trying to cut back on sugar…”
Ava looked crestfallen and said, “But I bought this specifically for you. If you don’t drink it, It’ll make me look bad… You don’t want our colleagues to laugh at me too, do you?”
Wyatt’s face turned pale. He gritted his teeth, and reluctantly took the cup to take a sip.
“By the way, let me introduce you to my sister,” Ava said.
Wyatt pretended to be surprised and asked, “Is your sister here today too?”
“Yes, she works at Fairlight. She often changes jobs and recently started working here. She never listens to our parents, always hanging out with questionable people… Oh well, let’s not dwell on that,” Ava said, pulling Wyatt toward Chloe. “She’s over there. Let me introduce you.
“Chloe, let me introduce you to my new boyfriend, Wyatt. I believe you’ve seen him on TV. He just won the Best Actor Award,” Ava said, unable to suppress her smugness and desire to show off.
However, Chloe just looked Wyatt up and down with a particularly disdainful expression and commented, “Your taste keeps getting worse and worse. This guy’s even worse than Jake. He’s as
skinny as a monkey.”
