26 She Really Is an Interesting Woman Chapter 26 She Really Is an Interesting Woman In the banquet hall , the guests stared in disbelief at the scene playing out on the massive screen . Curtis ' eyes widened in shock , confusion , and awe . Although he knew Chloe had previously served in the military and knew a few combat techniques , he'd always assumed they were just flashy moves meant for show . Yet moments ago , she'd taken down those two burly men with ease right in front of everyone . Unlike the others , Brian watched the massive screen with a knowing expression . Indeed , this woman was very interesting . The scene from the hotel room appearing on the electronic screen was probably all part of Chloe's plan . Her counterattack was clever , bold , and completely unexpected . If she couldn't handle something like this , she wouldn't have deserved to be the former captain of the Shadow Hawks Special Forces . Brian's lips curved into a small smile . William , standing beside him , understood immediately that Brian was in an excellent mood . It seemed his interest in Chloe had only deepened . At that moment , the hotel staff finally found the room . " It's Room 1205 ! They're in Room 1205 ! " Upon hearing this , Curtis dashed out of the banquet hall , with Lena right on his heels . Sonya looked up at Chloe on the screen , her eyes flashing with resentment . Things had already reached this point , yet she hadn't expected that Chloe would somehow manage to escape their trap . Instead , it was the Greens and Sonya who'd ended up at a disadvantage , especially since Curtis ' secret marriage to Chloe had been revealed . Sonya now looked like the third party in everyone else's eyes . The thought made her grit her teeth in bitter resentment . " You ... you weren't affected by the aphrodisiac ? " Joanne's panicked voice rang out from the hotel room . Chloe looked at her coldly . " That's not what you should be worrying about . What really matters is that everything that happened in this room was caught on camera and broadcast live in the banquet hall . " " What did you say ? " Helen and Joanne gasped . " I said , everything you did has already been seen and heard by everyone attending the banquet today , " Chloe replied . She'd deliberately delayed entering the room by half an hour to make final preparations . What she'd originally planned as a precaution ended up proving unexpectedly useful . " By the way , Curtis is attending the banquet today as well , " Chloe added . Chapter 26 She Really is an Interesting Woman Joanne's face went pale instantly . In other words , everything she'd said in the room , along with her and Helen's plan , had been publicly exposed to everyone . If Chloe was telling the truth , she would never be able to face all those people again , especially since , as far as she knew , the banquet Curtis attended today was filled with Corvessia's high - society elites . Chloe's actions had made it impossible for Joanne to have any standing in high society from now on . " You ... you're just trying to scare me . You're lying ! " Joanne cried in panic . " Am I lying ? When Curtis arrives , you can ask him yourself , " Chloe replied calmly . Based on the timing , Curtis should have already gotten her room number from the hotel staff by now . Joanne trembled as Helen lunged at Chloe in rage . " You bitch ! I'll tear you apart ! " Chloe smoothly sidestepped Helen's attack . Helen missed and slammed into a nearby cabinet , screaming in pain . At that moment , the door to the room burst open , and Curtis stormed in with several hotel staff members . Joanne jumped in shock . Her heart sank when Curtis appeared at the door . She wondered if Chloe had been telling the truth . Had everything that had happened in the room really been broadcast live to everyone in the banquet hall ? The moment Helen saw Curtis , she scrambled up in panic and rushed to him . " Curtis, you came just in time . That bitch Chlo was cheating on you , and Joanne and I caught her red - handed . " I only scolded her , but she turned vicious and even laid her hands on me ! She's such a shameless woman ! If you don't divorce her now , then I'll disown you as my son ! " " Mom ! " Curtis cut her off sharply , his face dark with humiliation . " Stop talking . Everyone out there already saw what happened in this room ! " " What ? " Helen froze . " How ... how could anyone have seen it ? No , it's a trick ! This is all Chloe's plan ! Curtis , you mustn't believe her ! " Curtis ' chest tightened with bitterness . It wasn't that he believed Chloe . He believed what he'd just seen and heard with his own eyes and ears . On that screen , Helen and Joanne had been nothing like the women he thought he knew . He'd never imagined they would resort to something so cruel and underhanded , scheming to drive Chloe out of his life with nothing . He lifted his eyes toward Chloe , who stood just a few feet away . In her deep blue gown , Chloe showed no sign of disarray from the fight . Instead , her sharp and unyielding Chapter 26 She Really Is an Interesting Woman 3/4 demeanor gave her a commanding presence , making her seem untouchable , like someone far beyond his reach . They were married and shared the same bed every night . Yet , in this moment , the space between them felt impossibly wide , so much so that he didn't even dare to take a single step toward her . " Yes , Curtis , it was all Chloe's plan ! She deliberately lured me and Mom here to catch her cheating , just to frame us ! " You can't believe her - this is all her scheme ! " Joanne finally snapped back to her senses and desperately tried to throw all the blame onto Chloe . Chloe's lips curved into a mocking smile as she met Curtis ' gaze . She wanted to see what he would do now that things had come to this point . " Curtis , you're not going to take her side over me and Mom , are you ? We're your family ! " Joanne pressed , growing uneasy at his silence . Helen added quickly , " I gave birth to you , Curtis ! How could you doubt me and believe this outsider ? Have someone seize Chloe right now . She attacked me just moments ago . I'll call the police and sue her ! " Helen's fury boiled over . Emboldened by Curtis ' presence , she lunged forward , ready to strike Chloe , but Curtis yanked her back . " Enough , Mom ! Joanne ! How much more embarrassment are you going to cause me ? " Curtis roared . A sudden , crushing wave of shame struck Curtis as he met Chloe's cold gaze . It was as if the ground had vanished beneath him . But he felt even more powerless when he saw that Helen and Joanne didn't show even an ounce of remorse . Instead , they kept piling false accusations onto Chloe . " Fine , you want to call the police ? Don't bother - I already did ! " Lena's voice rang out as she stormed into the room . She shot Helen a glare , then rushed to Chloe's side . " Are you okay ? Did they hurt you ? " " I'm fine , " Chloe reassured her softly . But in truth , she wasn't entirely unscathed . The two men had released that knockout smoke in the room earlier . Though she'd sensed it and tried to avoid it , she'd still inhaled a few breaths . Yet , her body had been conditioned by resistance training in the past , so those few breaths of knockout smoke weren't enough to take her down . She could still hold her ground . Hearing her words , Joanne's face drained of color as she stared at Lena . " You ... you called the police ? " Helen might not have grasped how serious that was , but Joanne understood all too well . If the police actually got involved , it would prove that she and Helen had set Chloe up . A scandal would Chapter 26 She Really is an Interesting Woman erupt , and they would be the ones facing the legal consequences . " How could you call the police ? " Joanne snapped , her voice shrill with panic . " After what you've done to my friend , how could I not ? " Lena shot back , her face tight with fury . 4/4 " I think it would be better to tell the police that this was just a misunderstanding , " Sonya said smoothly as she arrived , stepping quickly to Curtis ' side . " After all , this is still the Green family's private matter . It hasn't gone so far that the police need to be involved . Don't you agree , Curtis ? " Enjoy Ad - Free Reading >>
