Chloe’s face turned paler. Beads of sweat also appeared on her forehead. She didn’t have the energyto argue anymore, so she could only hang her head.
Marina kicked at Chloe with her toes. “Hey, quit pretending you’re dead…”
Just then, the door opened. Chris had gone home to wash up and change his clothes, then rushedback as soon as he could. He happened to witness the scene.
“What are you doing?” Chris roared like a furious lion.
Marina was stunned at the spot. She said, “Dad, she fell on purpose! She just wants you to feel bad forher! Don’t be tricked by her! She’s-”
Before she could finish speaking, Chris had helped Chloe up. When Chloe raised her head, bloodstreamed out of her nose.
In an instant, her clothes were soaked with blood.
Marina was startled as well. She thought that Chloe was playing tricks, like how Marina often did.
When she saw the large puddle of blood, she knew that she was in trouble.
Chris shouted at her, “Get the doctor!”novelbin
It was then that Marina came to her senses. She pressed the bell.
The doctor and nurses rushed in for the emergency medical treatment.

“She barely slept a wink back then, and her eyes even became bloodshot because of you! Is this howyou repay her?”
With tears streaming down her face, Marina retorted coldly, “You want me to repay her? Have I everasked her to do those things? She’s not my biological mother anyway!
“She pretended to treat me nicely so that she could secure her position in the Carlton family. She onlywanted you guys to accept her. She’s a shameless wench!”

“You keep spouting profanities, not to mention you’ve been nothing but disrespectful to Chloe! I don’tremember raising you like this!”

At that moment, Marina was pissed. She shouted viciously at Chris, “Well, I hate her! If you didn’t missher so much, my mom wouldn’t have died from heartbreak at such a young age!
“I don’t care if she’s sincere or faking it; I just can’t forget about my mom’s death! That wench has livedway longer than my mom, so it should be enough already!”
Chris shouted, “You!”
Marina raised her head defiantly. “Go on, hit me! Kill me right now, I dare you!”
Chris was so mad that he clutched his chest. “Get out. I don’t want to see you again.”
Marina dashed out of the door. She went to Miller Group with red-rimmed eyes and waited for Ethan inthe office.
Ethan had just come back from his meeting when Marina walked up to him. “Ethan.”
Ethan frowned deeply the moment he saw her. He asked in a low voice, “What are you doing here? Ifthere’s anything you want to buy, just let Brent know about it. I’m busy.”
