Chapter 19 Chloe Redford Gets Slapped
Chloe Redford walked into the living room in high heels.
“Didn’t you guys ask me to come back? Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost when you see me!”
When Stella Langley saw Chloe Redford, the smile on her face immediately turned into dissatisfaction.
“Is it wrong to ask you to come back? Look at the things you’ve done. You’ve embarrassed the Redford family to the fullest! If it weren’t for Zoe telling us, we wouldn’t know how this matter would end!”
Chloe Redford sat down opposite the

three members of the Redford family. After hearing Stella Langley’s words, she suddenly laughed.
“Ending? Does the ending of this matter have anything to do with you? From the moment this thing happened until now, have you said a single word in my favor? Have you gone to question Jasper Ellis or the Ellis family on my behalf?”
“What are you talking about!”
Stella Langley didn’t expect that Chloe Redford would dare to talk to her like this now. She had always disliked this eldest daughter, but Chloe Redford had always been submissive in front of her, doing and saying whatever she was told. This was the first time she had dared to talk back directly.
“Do you think why the Ellis family wants to

take you as their daughter–in–law? Because they value the strength of our Redford family! You’ve always regarded that Scarlett Darcy as more important than your sister. Now that little slut has gotten together with Jasper Ellis, it’s your own fault. Why should we go and question the Ellis family? Do you want our entire Redford family to be embarrassed along with you!”
Chloe Redford listened to these familiar words. She thought she had become numb to her mother’s coldness and ruthlessness, but there was still a pang in her heart.
She raised her head and looked intently at the person in front of her, the person who should have been the closest to her, and said word by word,
“The Ellis family wants to marry me because you want to climb up to the Ellis family, but

you’re reluctant to let Zoe Redford marry that illegitimate son of Jasper Ellis. That’s why you brought me back from the orphanage!
Don’t say that I’m benefiting from the Redford family. To be honest, in the past few years, the Redford Corporation has gained a lot of benefits because of my relationship with Jasper Ellis, right? Do you really think that just because I have the surnameRedford, Ryan Ellis is willing to give you convenience?
ROM
It’s my designs that have made Jasper Ellis’s company grow bit by bit, and it’s my designs that have made Ryan Ellis see my value. That’s why the Ellis family doesn’t want to see any problems between me and Jasper Ellis. That’s why they immediately held a press conference after what happened last night and made Jasper Ellis give me 20% of the shares!”

In her previousuis feh she was always belittled and suppresseddolybyaher parents. No matter what kind of grievances she suffered in the Ellis family, the Rededford family not only wouldn’t speak up for denenbut would instead blame her for being unreasaschable.
Now, having been reborn, she woubdildenever endure it again.
“You!”
Stella Langley didn’t expect that Chloe e Redford would dare to talk to her like this.is. She covered her chest and was too angry to to speak.
“Stella!”
“Mom!”

Gavin Redford and Zoe Redford nervously checked Stella Langley’s condition and called for the family doctor.
Chloe Redford sat there as if it had nothing to do with her. Her attitude deeply irritated Gavin Redford, who doted on his wife.
“Slap!”
A loud slap landed on Chloe Redford’s face.
“Don’t think that just because you’ve designed a few works, you can act arrogantly at home! Your mother almost died in the delivery room when she gave birth to you. Is this how you repay your mother!”
Half of Chloe Redford’s face stung painfully, and there was a ringing in her ears.
She raised her hand and wiped that half of

her face, meeting her father’s gaze.
“Don’t put it so grandly. Did I ask her to give birth to me? Wasn’t it you who forced her, which made her pregnant…”
“Slap!”
Chloe Redford’s other half of the face also received a slap.
“What are you talking nonsense about!”
Gavin Redford didn’t know how Chloe Redford knew about those things in the past. That was the past that he and Stella could never mention. He instinctively looked at Stella Langley and indeed saw tears falling on her delicate face.
“Stella..”

He felt sorry for his wife and shouted at Chloe Redford,
“Get out of here! Don’t you ever come back to this house from now on!”
Chloe Redford raised her hand, inserted her five fingers into her black long hair, and combed it back.
She pursed her lips, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and showed a relieved smile.
“Fine! Then I’ll go to the notary office tomorrow and cut off the relationship with you!”
“How dare you?”
Gavin Redford raised his hand to hit her, but Chloe Redford raised her hand and grabbed

his.
“Look, now the Redford family needs me and doesn’t dare to draw a clear line with me. So, you’d better be quiet!“.
After that, Chloe Redford shook off his hand forcefully, picked up her bag, and left the Redford family.
Behind her came Gavin Redford’s curses, Zoe Redford’s words of comfort, mixed with Stella Langley’s crying.
She quickened her pace, leaving those sounds far behind.
Since she couldn’t fit in, there was no need to force herself.
Sometimes you have to admit that some parents just don’t love their children.

Chloe Redford presessed the answer button.
“When will you be backek?”

Chloe Redford looked at the multitiaedia display in confusion. When she saw the name “X” on it, she remembered her cladate with that man.

“Hmm, I’m on my way.”
After hanging up the phone, Chloe Redford turned the car around and drove towards Emerald Manor.
This villa was bought by Chloe Redford with her first work after graduation. In her previous life, this was the wedding house she shared with Jasper Ellis, and they lived here for six years.
This was the first time Chloe Redford had come back here since she was reborn.
Looking at the familiar gate, Chloe Redford let out a long sigh.
Inside the villa, the hall was brightly lit. As soon as she entered the door, Chloe Redford smelled the aroma of food.

She felt her face gradually getting hot. She coughed lightly and averted her gaze.
“Let’s have dinner first!”
She sat down at the dining table and watched the man skillfully put the steak on the plate.
“Medium rare, is that okay?”
Chloe Redford nodded.
Just as she was about to pick up the knife and fork, the plate in front of her was taken away by the man. Under her puzzled gaze, Dylan Kane cut the steak into small pieces and put it back in front of Chloe Redford.
Chloe Redford had never enjoyed such considerate care. Most of the time, she was the one taking care of others.

She watched the man sit down opposite her. His delicate features were as perfect as the most outstanding sculptures of the last century under the light.
To be fair, in both of her lifetimes combined, Chloe Redford had never seen such an excellent man.
“Looking at me like this, I’ll think you’re already getting impatient.”
The man’s deep and magnetic voice brought Chloe Redford back to her senses. She wasn’t interested in responding to the flirting in his words.
“You can leave now!”
She got up and walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, and carried the

Dylan Kane looked at that back. He watched her walk alone towards the dark stairs. Her thin back was gradually swallowed up by the darkness until it disappeared at the end of the darkness.
