CHAPTER 3 — The Truth About Chloe
CHAPTER 3 — The Truth About Chloe
Three days later...
Every business magazine carried the same headline.
The Secret Heiress Behind Ward Global.
The internet exploded.
News channels replayed old interviews where Daniel proudly claimed every success as his own.
Now viewers knew the woman standing quietly behind him had been the real architect.
Meanwhile...
Chloe was packing.
Not because she wanted to.
Because the luxury penthouse she believed Daniel owned...
Was mine.
"You can't evict me!" she shouted.
My attorney smiled politely.
"We're not."
"We're reclaiming company property."
She called Daniel.
He didn't answer.
He couldn't.
His accounts had been frozen pending the corporate investigation.
The expensive jewelry?
Company gifts.
The designer wardrobe?
Purchased with corporate funds.
Even the engagement ring...
Belonged to the company insurance policy.
By sunset...
Chloe walked out carrying two suitcases.
Everything else stayed behind.
For the first time in her life...
May you like
Luxury had a price.
And she could no longer afford it.
