Chapter 4The Bonus Betrayal

One week later.

Chloe ended the business trip, holding new cufflinks in hand, feeling a bit guilty.

She originally planned to go for only three days, didn't expect Jayden kept dragging her to shop this and that. For a time, she forgot to message Justin.

Coming back today is also to give Justin a surprise.

Thinking of Justin waiting at home, Chloe felt warm inside, steps home also a bit impatient.

Pushing open the house door, Chloe called Justin's name twice.

No answer.

Those suitcases Justin packed last time were also gone.

Things about Justin in the room were also gone.

Chloe's breath hitched, face pale, an unbelievable thought popped up.

Huge panic surged towards her like a tide.

"Won't be..."

She knew how much Justin cared about her.

These years, Justin proposed to marry her more than once.

A man actively proposing marriage means he determined you for this life.

So Chloe always regarded Justin as something in the bag, never worried he would leave.

As long as she says marriage one day, Justin can drop everything at hand and go to City Hall together without hesitation.

Besides here, where else can Justin go?

Justin cut ties with his parents long ago, only occasionally contacted uncle's side, but he knew his aunt didn't like seeing him, so impossible to go to his uncle's.

That small house he scraped down payment to buy?

Chloe's eyes lit up for a moment, hurried to take cufflinks, drove towards West Side.

But arrived at West Side, she stopped.

Where is the house Justin bought?

She didn't know.

A trace of annoyance in her eyes.

Chloe didn't expect Justin would really move to that small house, so never cared about the location of that house.

Justin asked for her opinion when buying the house before, she just glanced, said don't know.

So that she has nowhere to get the location information of that house now.

Chloe only discovered when driving just now, Justin blocked her on WeChat.

She didn't know when she was blocked.

This week, she didn't message him. Was it because he was jealous so blocked her?

Chloe couldn't figure it out.

She took out her phone, called Justin.

Who knew, an AI female voice on the other end completely panicked her.

She never dreamed that Justin actually blocked all her contact methods.

Chloe suddenly recalled Justin's appearance when proposing break up in the office that day, so calm.

She realized, Justin was serious this time.

Chloe only felt a hemp rope slowly winding around her heart, making her suffocate.

She covered her chest, squatted on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Justin..."

Just as she wanted to ask someone to inquire about Justin's house location, the phone rang.

Gwen's triumphant voice came into her ears.

"Chloe, I'm getting engaged, my husband just accepted me."

"There is an Engagement Party tonight, come attend."

Chloe's brain throbbed with pain. She heard the show-off in Gwen's words, but she was in no mood for any engagement party.

"I have something, can't..."

Unexpectedly the other side seemed to guess something, shouted.

"You must be present, do you want to find someone? You come, I help you find."

Chloe ignored the intuitive discomfort in her heart, agreed to Gwen's invitation.

She and Gwen were not very familiar, just college classmates. Didn't know why Gwen insisted she attend some engagement party today, but she knew Gwen is the youngest daughter of the Gu family, having many resources, asking her to find a person should be easy.

At night, Chloe originally wanted to go alone.

But Jayden heard from somewhere she was going to the engagement party, insisted on following to see the world.

Thinking about it, Chloe agreed.

I amusedly watched Gwen changing five or six dresses in front of me like a peacock spreading tail.

"Which one looks good?"

I thought: "All look good."

"Why insist on Chloe coming?"

Gwen panicked a bit, hurried over to hold my hand.

"You heard all?"

"Angry? I was just too happy..."

I shook my head, smilingly hugged her, walked out together.

Just went out, a gaze locked firmly on me.

I looked following the gaze, only saw Chloe trembling, blood on face faded completely, under the light, like a water ghost fished out of water.
