Chapter 160: Cover Up Plan
Chloe finally dropped the act. Her lips curled into a smirk, her voice turning cold. "I've worked against you and Hunter all this time, creating a rift between you. I didn't want my efforts to go to waste." She took a step closer, her voice dripping with confidence. "I want to be the owner of not just Stone's Food but everything you own."
A heavy silence fell between them after she said that, different thoughts swirling in Mr. Stone's mind.
Although he had reserved two properties for her which he had built in her name despite not wanting to because of how her mother had duped him into having her, he wished now that he hadn't.
From her words, it was obvious she was as cunning as her mother. Thinking about it now, everything had gone downhill five years ago after she returned into the country with Hunter.
He had thought Hunter was being rebellious because of Chloe's mother had caused Hunter's mother's death but thinking about it now, it just made sense.
Having thought it through, Mr. Stone laughed, his laughter humorless and bitter.
"Over my dead body," he spat, his voice thick with disgust. His eyes bore into hers, filled with something she had never seen before—pure hatred. "Over my dead body would you have everything I own. You're just like your mother. A cunning bitch."
Chloe's expression faltered for a moment. But she quickly recovered, rolling her eyes. "Call me whatever you want, but I will be the one to take everything you own."
Mr. Stone scoffed. "We'll see about that." He reached for his phone. "I'm calling Hunter. He needs to hear this."
Chloe's eyes widened. No. That can't happen.
She lunged for the phone, grabbing at it desperately. Mr. Stone pulled back, but in the struggle trying to keep his phone away from her.
