Chapter 15 Chloe's other friends all wore the same uneasy expression . They were all glad they hadn't rushed in like Kaitlyn did , otherwise , they wool in the same mess . They'd figured Olivia wasn't favored by Dylan and wouldn't dare fight back even if she was hullied . They didn't expect her to be this old - going straight . to Morgan to complain and even using him to threaten Dylan . They thought , " Isn't she afraid that once Morgan passes away , Dylan will come after her with a vengeance ? " But that was a problem for the future . Right now , Olivia was untouchable . She had the power to crush anyone who messed with her . One of Chloe's friends said , " Hey , Chloe , Ljust remembered I've got something really urgent back home I need to deal with . I'll take a red - eye tonight , so 1 won't be staying . You and Mr. Wilson have fun . " Another chimed in , " I got a call this morning - ny grandma's sick . I need to fly back too and check on her ." And a third added , " My family's been urging me to come home too . Next time we hang out , I'll make it up to you . " They each tossed out a random excuse and left in a hurry , not forgetting to drag Kaitlyn out with them on the way . Chloe stood there shaking with rage , but all she could do was watch them walk off . Once they were gone , she looked back at Olivia , who was grinning as she tore open the envelope and pulled out the check . That sight made Chloe even more furious . She burst into tears and took off running . Dylan rushed to follow . " Chloe , slow down . Watch your step . " The words had barely left his mouth when Chloe face - planted onto the ground . Dylan hurried to lift her up , his voice full of concern . " Are you hurt ? Should we go to the hospital ? " Chloe bit her lip without responding , looking aggrieved . She turned to Olivia , who was grinning ear to ear , and snapped , " What are you smiling at ? Do you think it's funny that I foll ? " Olivia said , " Just airing out my teeth . They got stuffy . " Tears welled up in Chloe's eyes as she clenched her fists . She made a silent vow in her heart as she thought , ' Once Morgan dies , I'll make Olivia wish she were dead . I'll drag the entire Kaur family down with her . ' T'll make her pay back for everything I endured today . She won't stay smug for long Chloe took a deep breath , forced down her anger , and then turned to Dylan with wounded eyes . " Baby , I don't want to see her anymore . Please don't let her follow us . I just want to curl up in your arms and forget today ever happened . " ou want . " Dylan nodded . " Okay. Whatever you He shot Olivia a cold look . " Get out of here . Don't stay and make Chloe even more upset . " Olivia didn't argue . She turned and walked away without any complaint , She found a nearby café , sat down , and followed the instructions in the envelope to transfer the five million dollars to her bank account . Since it was an International transaction , it took a little time . When she finally got the text notification confirming the deposit , she was able to believe it - this wasn't a prank or a dream . She had actually won five million dollars , completely out of the blug . She then contacted the manager of the luxury boutique and asked a nuld cash out a few of the items instead of picking th more clothes . What she needed was money Although Dylan didn't actually love her , he still had an arrange for her to receive new season releases of clothes , shoes , and handbags from all the major brands every quarter , just to keep up the illusion of a loving manage for Morgan's sake . Olivis sent the manager a message , laying out her idea , The store manager quickly replied . Of course , start calculating the total now . Just send me your bank info , and once I'm done , I'll transfer the right away ! Olivia : ( I haven't even started picking anything yet . ) Manager : It's fine . I'll just count up everything in the store . Olivia couldn't help blusting out , " What ? " She thought , " What kind of windfall did this store hit to be throwing promotions like this ? This is basically giving me the entire store ! She was shocked all over again , Meanwhile , the store manager calculated the total and immediately submitted the amount and Olivia's bank details to the regional director , who then contacted Noel . Noel personally reported it to Julian . Julian glanced at the figure - more than three million dollars - and directly transferred fifteen million . Noel couldn't help asking , " My lord , who exactly is that lady to you ? Why are you treating her so differently ? " Julian's lips curved into a smile . " Ever heard of the phrase sugar baby " ? " Noel broke into a grin . " You're already twenty - seven . It's about time you started seeing women . Otherwise , the marshal will keep doubting your orientation . " He's asked me more than once if you and I are secretly dating , said that must be why you never show interest in women . He even warned me to keep my distance so I wouldn't mess up your chances at continuing the bloodline . " Even though you're just keeping a woman for now , it's a good first step . You can always find some suitable heiress to marry later " Julian said , " She's not the sugar baby . I am " What ? " Noel looked completely stunned . " That's flipping the whole damn script . With your status , even a foreign president doesn't qualify to keep you Wait a second - if you're the one being kept , why are you the one giving her money ! " Julian raised an eyebrow at him . " Your Gravellian's improved . You're even throwing around idioms now " Noel scratched the back of his head , looking embarrassed . " My lord , don't make fun of me . I've been learning Gravellian ever since I started working under you . But there just aren't enough people around me who speak it , so I'm still pretty slow with it . " Julian shifted the topic back . " She's happy when she gets money . So I gave her some . " Noel's face lit up . " My lord , I'd be happy if I got money t too ! Julian said with a half smile , " There's a saying in Gravellia - Don't count your chickens before they hatch . I'd hate for you to get your hopes up for nothing , so maybe don't get too happy . " Noel was instantly at a loss for words . Then he asked , " But my lord , I'm still really curious , What's so special about her that you would agree to be kept by her ? Chapter 15 " You've had women throwing themselves at you all the years , and you neve tave a single one the time of day : Julian smirked with a flicker of amusement in his deep sel yes , " Remember that gist on Skuffstand teen years ago Noel answered without hesitation , " I could never forget about her . She left us on that land , gave us a pile of shit , and told us to take turn will loop .. To this day still have nightmares about the way she looked when she said it . She was dead serious . She meant for us to eat it . " Sure , she saved our lives back then , but the second she said that , whatever gratitude I felt pretty much vanished ."
