What if we win?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed, however, felt a deep sense of unease. But with no other options at the moment, she said, \"Okay, I understand. Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mention it,\" Miles Hawthorne chuckled. \"Just remember to pay a generous legal fee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed laughed. \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, she turned to the real estate agent and said, \"I’ll take this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apartment was already furnished and move-in ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had arrived in the afternoon, so the paperwork would have to wait until tomorrow. She arranged a time and place to meet the agent then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance had been watching from the side. He waited until she finished with the agent before asking, \"Do you have plans for later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I took time off work to come here.\" Chloe Reed nodded. \"I have to get back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance’s lips twisted in a helpless smile. \"And here I was hoping you’d be free. I was going to suggest dinner. That restaurant is really good, I’ve been wanting to go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed said, \"Then you should go. You could invite one of your friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest,\" Preston Vance said, pushing his glasses up his nose, \"you’re the first friend I’ve made since coming back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was even more surprised. \"What about before you went abroad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We lost touch a long time ago.\" Preston Vance shrugged, then added, \"Don’t I sound pathetic?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chloe Reed said, \"That’s just because you haven’t tried to make any. If you wanted to, I’m sure people would be happy to be your friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance just smiled and shook his head. \"It’s probably hard to find someone who wants to be friends with no strings attached these days, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at her with a smile. \"That’s why I find you so special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being complimented so suddenly made Chloe Reed a little flustered, and a strange feeling fluttered through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ivy Vance’s voice cut in. She walked over, her brow furrowed as she shot a look at Chloe Reed. \"Why are you two together?\" she demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance said, \"Chloe is my friend. Did you need me for something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Chloe?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How intimate!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy Vance held out a few documents to him. \"You need to look over these.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, she added, \"Brother, I’d advise you to be more discerning when you make friends. It would be a shame to get dragged into trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s brow twitched as she glanced at her. \"Do you have a problem with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy Vance crossed her arms and scoffed. \"Are you paranoid, Miss Reed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed shook her head. \"I’m not, but you’re the one who doesn’t seem normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she turned to Preston Vance and said, \"You seem perfectly normal. But your sister... you should take her to get her head examined when you have a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance shot her a surprised look, not expecting her to have such a sharp tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy Vance’s face instantly darkened. \"Chloe Reed, are you insulting me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s tone was perfectly level. \"You’re the one who started this. I don’t even know you, yet you walk over here and insult me. Is that what you call polite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivy Vance was so furious she was speechless.
