Chapter 130 Jealousy

Chloe frowned slightly.

She thought, what did he mean by saying I was having such a good time chatting with the man?"

When the man heard Michael call her 'Honey', he instantly broke into a cold sweat and casually made an excuse to leave.

Michael spoke quite loudly just now, and many people heard about their relationship.

This naturally sparked a new wave of discussions around Chloe.

"She looks so familiar. I feel like I have seen her somewhere before."

"Is she not some wealthy family's daughter?"

"Does not seem like it... Oh, I remember now! She is from the Nelson family, you remember, the one that went bankrupt and owed billions!"

"She is the daughter of the Nelson family? I thought they had moved away long ago. So, it is her. But did they not owe a lot of money? How come she still qualifies to attend this banquet?"

"Now she has married to Mr. Shawn, right? How did the Shawn family get involved with the Nelson family? Seems quite a step down."

Chloe had not expected them to recognize her identity. Charles's affairs had always been a sore spot for her.

The bankruptcy of the Nelson family had dealt a severe blow to her and Wendy.

Chloe nodded and said, "Are you not here today to discuss cooperation with Rick? Go ahead, otherwise Grandpa will be unhappy if it fails."

Chloe's words made Michael think she was concer

which put him in a much better mood.

She then continued, "Grandpa asked me to come with you today. I also have a duty to help you secure the cooperation. If it fails because of me, I would not have a good explanation for Grandpa." Her every sentence revolved around Admas, without a single mention of Michael.

Michael's previously bright expression darkened again.

"So, it is all just for Grandpa?"

His tone rose, tinged with disbelief.

Chloe did not understand his question.

She frowned and replied, "Of course! You brought me here because of Grandpa, didn't you?"

She thought, "If we had not stayed at the Lotus Manor today and if Grandpa had not personally requested it, he certainly would not have brought me to such an occasion." Michael was momentarily speechless.

However, seeing her indifferent and puzzled face, he could not bring himself to say it.

"Of course, it is because of Grandpal"

turned her gaze away.

Michael felt a surge of frustration.

On the other side, Lucy also arrived at the banquet.

She had work to do at the company today and initially did not plan to attend the banquet.

But upon learning that Michael brought Chloe along, she dropped everything and hurried over.

After pushing open the door of the banquet hall, she saw Michael and Chloe standing together. She narrowed her eyes slightly before putting on a bright smile and walking over. "Michael, why did you not tell me you were bringing Chloe
