Chapter 14 You Have to Take Responsibility for Me!
Chloe Redford ran all the way outside the manor, fearing that if she ran too slowly, people would see the smile that she couldn’t hide.
The phone in her bag vibrated. Chloe Redford took it out and saw that it was indeed her mother calling.
It seemed that Zoe Redford had already told her what happened just now.
She answered the phone and, as expected, was greeted with a scolding.
“Chloe Redford! You’ve embarrassed us all! Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused! You can’t even keep your man in

check, and you’ve made such a big scene!
Have you thought about how to deal with this? Do you think you can just call off your engagement whenever you want?
If you affect our cooperation with the Ellis family because of this, just wait and see how I deal with you when you get back!”
Chloe Redford looked at the word “Mom” on the screen and listened to the harsh curses coming from the phone. Even though she had known this would be the result, her heart still ached.
Her eyes felt hot, and she said softly,
“If it was Zoe Redford who caught her fiancé cheating today, would you scold her like
this?”

“What nonsense are you talking about! How can you curse your sister like that! I’m telling you, you have to figure out how to solve this immediately. You thought that vixen was more important than anyone else, right? Now she’s slept with your man. I think you deserve it. You brought this upon yourself!”
On the phone, Stella Langley’s angry scolding continued. Chloe Redford directly pressed the hang–up button.
She raised her head, and something fell on her face, wet and cold.
It was raining…
Suddenly, a black umbrella appeared above her head, blocking the dark night sky.
Chloe Redford looked up and saw a handsome face with deep eyes and a

well–defined jaw.
“You?”
Chloe Redford recognized this man as the
one who had bumped into her in the mall and was rude.
Dylan Kane looked at Chloe Redford’s red–rimmed eyes and his tone was somewhat mocking.

Chloe Redford really didn’t have a good impression of this man whom she had only met twice.
“It’s none of your business! I’m much better than someone like you who has a good–looking face but is mean–spirited and

rude!”
She swatted away Dylan Kane’s hand, opened the car door, and got into her own
car.
But just then, the car had a problem and wouldn’t start.
She banged on the steering wheel in frustration and heard a sneer outside the car window.
Chloe Redford glared at him, opened the car door, and walked out.
But the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Chloe Redford’s high heels stepped on the cobblestone path, and she stumbled and could hardly move.
Moreover, the injury on her ankle hadn’t

healed yet. Walking on such a road in high heels hurt a lot.
This ankle injury was also caused by this
man.
Thinking of this, she suddenly walked up to Dylan Kane.
“Take me home!”
“Why?”
Dylan Kane looked at her leisurely, wanting to know why this woman was so confident in ordering him around.
“Just because you bumped into me last time! You have to take responsibility for me!”
“Fine!”

He held the umbrella and walked towards the McLaren beside him. Chloe Redford was left behind.
The rain all fell on Chloe Redford. The stone path under her feet became even more difficult to walk on in the rain. Even so, Chloe Redford didn’t call him back but chose to follow him silently.
Dylan Kane noticed this and slowed down his pace.
The umbrella once again shielded Chloe Redford from the rain.
As soon as she got in the car, she saw Jasper Ellis coming out of the villa with Scarlett Darcy following behind.
Chloe Redford’s phone rang again. Looking at the caller ID, Chloe Redford pressed the

hang–up button and turned off the phone.
Dylan Kane looked in Jasper Ellis’s direction and said mockingly,
“Your fiancé is chasing after you. Do you still want to ride in my car?”
Chloe Redford withdrew her gaze and met Dylan Kane’s eyes. “Are you going to go back on your word?”
“I naturally want to give a beauty a ride, but it’s said that Miss Redford only has her fiancé in her eyes. I thought you would rather ride in your fiancé’s car!”
Chloe Redford could hear the teasing in these words. After all, everyone present had clearly seen the “catching in the act” in the villa just now. This man was obviously making fun of her!

She pushed the car door open and wanted to get out, preferring to be seen by Jasper Ellis rather than endure this man’s mean words
anymore.
As soon as her hand touched the car door handle, Dylan Kane suddenly started the car. The strong pushing force made Chloe Redford hit the back of the seat heavily.
The car rushed out like an arrow leaving the bow. It deliberately splashed water all over Jasper Ellis as it passed by
“Who is it? Are you blind when you’re driving?”
Jasper Ellis looked at the mud spots on his body and cursed angrily.

appearance in the rearview mirror, Chloe Redford curved the corners of her lips.
Dylan Kane also noticed this smile of hers and thought that this woman was neither as stupid as when they first met nor as vicious as when she schemed against her fiancé just now.
She was like a mystery. There was always a kind of indescribable sadness in her eyes, a sense of vicissitudes that didn’t belong to her age, but occasionally he could also see her charming side.
The car gradually drove away from the manor and into the city.
The neon lights were blurred, and the rain fell on the car window, leaving traces of water.
Inside the car, there was a long silence.

“Stop!”
Chloe Redford suddenly spoke, and the car stopped by the roadside.
She pushed the car door open and got out, walking into a bar by the roadside.
Dylan Kane somehow followed her. Maybe it was because he was in a good mood today and willing to meddle in this business, or maybe it was because of the rain tonight that he also wanted to have a drink.
In the bar, men and women were freely releasing their hormones on the dance floor.
Chloe Redford stood by the bar and ordered a glass of whiskey.
The pungent liquid burned her throat, making

Facing such a gaze, Chloe Redford felt a little overwhelmed, and her heart rate involuntarily increased.
Dylan Kane didn’t continue but put the glass in his hand on the bar.
“Just drink if you want! I’ll take you home after you’re done.”
The man’s sudden tenderness made Chloe Redford’s heart skip a beat. She grabbed the glass and drank it in one gulp to hide the strange feeling in her heart.
She didn’t remember how much she drank. She only remembered that night, the ambiguous lights in the bar cast shadows on the man’s model–like face. She was so fascinated that she kissed him.
