Chapter 292
The group stopped right in front of them.
They had originally intended to greet Adrian Sinclair.
But seeing something happening here.
They paused to watch.
Anna Ross curled her lip.
"Miss Valentine."
"Don't you think your little self-directed drama."
"Is a bit too childish?"
She had thought Chloe simply disliked her.
Now it seemed.
It was more than just dislike.
Chloe would seize every opportunity to target her in various situations.
But these methods were truly clumsy.
Chloe didn't care about that.
As long as she could make Adrian despise Anna.
She was willing to use any means.
Whispers began among the onlookers.
Someone claimed they had seen Chloe fall to the ground.
Allegedly pushed by this woman named Ross.
The statement shifted the atmosphere.
Their gazes toward Anna instantly changed.
Filled with disgust and contempt.
Chloe felt a secret triumph.
She had only intended to put on a show for Adrian.
The effect was better than expected.
"Executive Assistant Ross."
"I don't blame you."
"You don't need to feel too guilty."
She added a few well-timed words.
Undoubtedly escalating the tension.
Others regarded Anna with even greater scorn.
Anna was furious and wanted to refute.
But her hand was gently held by the person beside her.
She turned to look at Adrian Sinclair.
Was he silently choosing to protect his fiancée?
All eyes were fixed on Adrian.
Chloe was overjoyed.
It seemed her fiancé had good judgment.
He must absolutely detest Anna now.
"Go to the car and get something for me."
"It's in the trunk."
Adrian's voice was soft.
But everyone present heard it clearly.
Anna froze.
He offered no explanation.
Instead, he asked her to fetch something?
Seeing her hesitation.
Adrian urged in a low voice.
"Leave this to me."
"You go first."
Anna nodded.
She had no choice but to turn and leave.
"Hey?"
Chloe不甘心地 tried to stop her.
But Adrian stepped in and held her back instead.
His gaze swept over the murmuring crowd.
His expression darkened.
"Gentlemen."
"Our business discussion is concluded."
"Is there anything else?"
The group immediately fell silent.
Exchanging uneasy glances.
The eldest among them forced a dry laugh.
"Nothing else."
"We just wanted to say goodbye before leaving."
The others quickly nodded in agreement.
Afraid that any delay might bring trouble.
Adrian gave a slight nod.
He called Noah Watson to escort them out.
Their faces paled instantly.
They waved their hands hurriedly.
"No need, no need."
"We can see ourselves out."
"Please don't trouble yourself."
Watching them scurry away.
Adrian slowly turned to the woman beside him.
Chloe bit her lip.
She couldn't bear to let Anna off so easily.
Especially since Adrian had clearly been protecting her.
"Adrian."
"Don't worry."
"I'm fine."
She twisted her fingers.
Putting on a show of grievance but endurance.
Adrian let out a light laugh.
He lifted his chin.
His voice was hoarse as he asked.
"Are you really fine?"
