Chapter 28 She Never Went to Cloudville

s

The bedroom was in complete chaos. Clothes of both men and women were strewn across the bed, and a pile of worn, smelly socks lay discarded on the wooden floor.

Used condoms were scattered in the trash can, with a couple more lying by the bed.

Just as Anna had said, that man certainly had stamina.

The state of the room showed how intense their time together had been.

"Chloe, get out here!" Luke roared..

In a fit of rage, he kicked the trash can over, yanked the quilt from the bed, and began to destroy the room.

"Luke, what are you doing?" Anna rushed in, her face pale as she took in the mess.

"What on earth did Chloe do in Cloudville?"

Luke's eyes were red with anger as though he wished he could tear me apart.

The commotion had attracted the neighbors' attention.

One of them, puffing on a cigarette and speaking with a foreign accent, said, "Are you looking for that couple? They left with their bags last night, saying they were off to seek some freedom. Who knows where they ended up." He eyed Luke curiously. "Who are you?"

Luke grabbed the man's collar. Not entirely foolish, he pointed at the room and asked, "What's the woman's name?"

"Name? I'm not sure, but I heard someone call her Ms. Sander. Are you her friend? To be honest, she's quite wild. She and her boyfriend were noisy every day. You could hear her from three floors up."

Upon hearing that, Luke punched the man's face.

Well, I spoke too soon-he wasn't completely clueless, but he clearly lacked insight.

When he heard the surname Sander, he instantly assumed it was me. He forgot that I was meticulous about cleanliness. How could I have left the room in such a mess?

Unfortunately, once he was set on a conclusion, his mind was just a decorative piece.

Fuming, Luke told Roy, "I don't care how you do it, but you must find Chloe!"

I was squatting under the old tree in the yard, counting ants and murmuring, "He won't find me. My skin's been skinned, my bones ground to dust. Who knows if my flesh has been turned into sausages or dried meat?" Roy, who couldn't hear my sarcasm, quickly responded, "Yes, sir."

Luke clung to the door frame, gazing at the quiet yard with pain in his eyes. "Chloe, I've been good to you. Why are you doing this to me?"

"Luke, don't be sad. Chloe-"

"Don't try to defend her! She's nothing but a loose woman! It's my fault for not seeing her true nature sooner!"

I couldn't be bothered to argue. He could think what he wanted. I was more curious about how painful the truth would be for him.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He stormed off with Anna and headed home.

Meanwhile, a video of a woman who looked like me dancing passionately was trending.

I didn't even need to imagine the accusations. I was already dead, so who cared?

Chapter 28 She Never Went to Cloudville

My family was livid when they heard about Cloudville.

My mom slammed the table. "I said that girl was trouble! Now she's brought this disgrace upon us! How will people see us?

"Mom even planned to secretly give her the shares. Does she even deserve them? I think we should give them to Anna as her dowry!

"Luke, we're truly sorry for raising such a daughter. If you want to divorce, we won't stop you."

"That's right. You two don't have kids, so this divorce won't-"

Luke looked up, his eyes red and determined when he stared at my mom. "I won't divorce!"

My mom was startled. Luke's appearance was truly frightening.

Anna grabbed his arm. "Luke, Chloe's already betrayed you. If you keep this up, you'll become a laughingstock. My parents are just concerned for you. Divorce would be better for both you and Chloe."

I finally saw Anna's plan. She knew Luke wouldn't divorce me, so she orchestrated this whole situation to make it look like I had an affair and ran off with someone.

If Luke initiated a divorce, after two years, the marriage would automatically be annulled, and she could then marry him.

From the start, she had it all planned out.

She killed, framed, and portrayed me as a promiscuous woman, so Luke could let go of me and marry her without guilt.

To achieve her plan, she even hired a killer to murder her sister.

I felt a cold shiver. I had been kind to her in the past, always protecting her when she was poorly treated by the Boltons.

Instead of receiving sisterly love, I got stabbed in the back.

Anna, you were so ruthless!

While my family criticized me and Luke's face was twisted in agony, a harsh voice came from the door. "Silence, you shameless b*tch!"

Mrs. Lambert pushed Grandma in. Sitting in her wheelchair, Grandma's face was as stormy as the weather outside, signaling an impending storm.

"Mom, what brings you here?"

Grandma had traveled from the old house despite being bedridden for days and the frigid weather.

My parents hurried to greet her, while Anna met Grandma's gaze with visible discomfort.

Grandma's expression was icy. "If I hadn't come, you'd all still be deceived by this schemer!"

Anna, with a tearful, hurt expression, covered her chest. "Grandma, I went to Cloudville to apologize to Chloe. I didn't expect her to have already left with a man. Did I do anything wrong?" Grandma ignored her and turned to Luke. "Luke, do you truly believe that Chloe would do such a thing?"

Luke's eyes met hers with evident conflict. "I-I don't know. I trust Chloe's character, but the fact that she's been involved with someone else is also true."

"True?" Grandma scoffed.

My mom tried to calm the situation. "Mom, this is all because of that wretched girl. Don't push-

"Be quiet!" Grandma roared, causing my mom to fall silent immediately.

Grandma observed everyone in the room. "So, do you all share the same opinion?"

12:08 PM.

Chapter 28 She Never Went to Cloudville

No one dared to challenge Grandma. Though they didn't admit it, their silence spoke volumes.

Grandma sneered. "Well, well, a bunch of ungrateful beasts! I now understand what Chloe has been going through. Luke, since you don't trust your wife, once I find her, you two must get a divorce!" Luke frowned slightly. "Grandma, this is Chloe's fault. She betrayed me. I haven't even mentioned divorce. Since you care so much about her, shouldn't you hope for her well-being?"

Grandma laughed bitterly, pointing at Luke. "Why? Because you're not worthy of Chloe! You claim she cheated. Did you see it yourself? Or catch her in the act with her lover?"

"Though I didn't see it, the neighbors said the woman renting the house was Ms. Sander-

"Ms. Sander? My granddaughter bought a ticket to Cloudville, but she never boarded the plane. She never went to Cloudville at all! So, where did you find this so-called Ms. Sander?"
