Chapter 396
Chloe responded indignantly, “Exactly.”
Jessica said pitifully, “Yesterday, Steven stood up for me, and Annalise scolded him. Looks like I’ll have to avoid Annalise from now on. Otherwise, no one will come to my defense if she bullies me. She’ll definitely try to pick a fight with me. If I keep my distance, I can avoid a lot of trouble.” Chloe was furious to hear that Jessica was suffering. “No way! I’m going to confront her right now. She really has some nerve to offend everyone. Has she forgotten how I taught her a lesson back home?”
“Mom!” Jessica exclaimed, touched. She covered her mouth with her hands, revealing only her tear-filled eyes.
“I’m so moved that you’re willing to stand up for me. Honestly, I feel so much better now. I think the baby in my belly will be happy too. His grandma cares so much about him.”
When Jessica realized Chloe couldn’t see her over the phone, she pouted. She wiped away her tears, revealing a disdainful smile.
Chloe thought about Jessica’s pregnancy and smiled with satisfaction. “Wait for my good news!”
…
After hanging up the call, Chloe got into her car and had the driver take her to Huxham Corporation. She didn’t intend to go upstairs, knowing the company had strong security measures. In any case, Annalise was in the wrong. So, Chloe didn’t mind making a scene.
Her voice was loud enough to attract attention from those around her. “Annalise is so shameless! She deliberately bullied a pregnant woman.”
I was working upstairs when I heard the commotion, but I didn’t rush to intervene. Instead, I opened my computer and gathered all the evidence before calmly taking the elevator down to face Chloe. Sasha also came down and stood beside me, listening to Chloe’s accusations. I could see the anger on her face and that she was itching to confront Chloe. However, I grabbed her hand. “Don’t act rashly. I have my way of dealing with this.”
Sasha looked incredulous. “Did you hear what she’s saying about you?”
I smiled reassuringly. “Trust me.”
Reluctantly, Sasha stepped back to stand by my side.

When Chloe saw me, she marched right up and pointed a finger at my face, shouting, “You wretch! My son dumped you, but you still can’t let him go. Seeing him with Jessica makes you jealous, and now you’re encouraging others to attack my pregnant daughter-in-law-online.
“You’re trying to provoke her into a miscarriage! Why are you so wicked?”
Chloe’s finger nearly poked my face as she continued, “I never expected you to do so many despicable things and still have the nerve to show up here!”
I replied calmly, “First of all, you need to understand that I didn’t do any of those things.”
“Secondly I paused for effect.
“Even if I did everything you accused
me of, it still pales compared to what you did back in the day.” raised my voice slightly, making sure those around us could hear.
Chloe stared at me in disbelief. “What do you mean?”
“It’s simple,” I replied, pointing to the large screen nearby. “Take a look at the evidence.”
Initially, I viewed Chloe’s conflicts with me as typical mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues. I never intended to expose them. But who would have thought that even after the divorce, Chloe would still try to assert her authority and belittle me?
I felt it was important for others to know about her past actions. Everyone turned their attention to the big screen.
