Chapter 5 Goodbye

Chloe tidied up the table and brought the menu over. "What would you like to eat? We have..." When she saw the customer, she suddenly paused.

Jared and Mariyah also recognized the voice. At the same time, they looked at Chloe unbelievably.

"Chloe, why are you here?" Mariyah was like a terrified hedgehog as she screamed.

Chloe's mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't look good now. Her gaze fell on Jared, and she saw that he looked indifferent as if he did not know her.

Her heart was painful as if it was fiercely stabbed.

Mariyah stood in front of her disdainfully. Especially when she saw Chloe staring at Jared, she was even angrier. "What are you doing here? Are you deliberately waiting for me and Brother Jared? Chloe, you are indeed shameless!"

Nathan came over and looked at Mariyah with disgust. How could such a well-dressed woman say such words? He was about to help Chloe but was stopped.

He frowned. "You know them?"

Chloe looked at Jared again and finally shook her head, "No."

She never thought that she would meet them here. She originally thought that she had forgotten everything, but seeing them, the bloody scene five years ago appeared in her mind again.

She was raped for no reason. Her father angrily drove her out of the home. Besides, Jared was so indifferent and ruthless.

Noticing Chloe was sad, Nathan did not continue to ask. He just took the menu from her hand and said, "I'll help you. You go and rest."

Chloe shook her head and forced a smile. "Shall I introduce the special dishes?"

"No need!" Mariyah grabbed the menu in her hand and flipped through the pages in disgust. "No one will have an appetite when looking at the picture. Who knows if I will die after eating this."

"Why are you so mean? Are you afraid of death? Don't eat it. Who asked you to eat here?" Nathan retorted unhappily.

"How dare you talk to me like that?" Mariyah slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Believe it or not, I'll make the restaurant shut down in minutes!"

"Do you think I'm scared?" Nathan placed one of his legs on the stool, ready to fight with Mariyah.

"You rascal!"

"I am. So what?"

"Brother Jared, look at him..."

"If you don't want to eat, you can go back first." Just as the two were about to fight, Jared suddenly spoke.

Nathan smiled. "Do you think all people are ill-bred like you?"

"You... Fine. Just wait!" Mariyah gritted his teeth and sat across Jared angrily. "Brother Jared, why are you helping an outsider?"

Jared ignored her and said lightly, "Two bowls of noodles and two dishes."

Chloe was quiet from beginning to end. She wrote down the order and left.

Mariyah was so angry when she saw that Jared had been looking at Chloe. Although she was the only eldest daughter of the Chadwick family now and all the matters of the Chadwick family were decided by her mother, Freddy still refused to change his will and give them the right of inheritance.

What was good about Chloe? Why did she become the future heir of the family? Today, she must teach Chloe a good lesson!

Nathan helped Chloe to serve the dishes. He hated Mariyah so much that he deliberately twisted his ankle when he walked to her side. A cold dish was poured towards Mariyah.

"God! My limited edition dress, my custom-made high-heeled shoes! I will kill you!" Mariyah said as he went to hit Nathan with all the jewelry that he was wearing. "You country bumpkin! Do you believe that my single word can make you dead-end for the rest of your life? You poor bastard!"

"That's better than you. You are dressed like a hen..."

"Who are you calling a hen? I'll beat you to death!" Mariyah completely disregarded her manner. Today, not only did she teach this guy a good lesson, but she also had to go home and ask her mother to help her.

Chloe placed the noodles on the table. "Sorry, I'll get you a new dish."

Jared did not speak, only staring at her back as she left. In the end, there was a faint sneer on his handsome face.

When paying the bill, Mariyah did not forget to ridicule Chloe, "I never thought that you still have a poor taste after five years. You even found this kind of man."

"20 yuan in total." Chloe did not answer, only watching Mariyah snuggling in Jared's arms.

"You even ask for such a small amount of money." Mariyah snorted coldly and said disdainfully. She arrogantly took out a gold card from her bag and handed it to Chloe.

"Sorry, we only accept cash here," Chloe said lightly.

"I'm really sorry. I don't have the habit of carrying cash." Mariyah snorted and slowly put the card into her bag.

Jared took out a bill from his wallet. "Keep the change."

"We don't accept tips. Please wait a moment." Chloe hurriedly ran over to the lady boss to retrieve the change and gave it to them.

Mariyah sneered. "I will not forgive that brat. I will let him know what it means to offend people that he can't offend!"

Chloe's breathing stopped. She had always known how narrow-minded Mariyah was. Today, Nathan had offended her. She would do anything to take revenge.

"What do you want to do?" She suddenly stopped her.

Mariyah smiled sweetly. "He dared to offend me. What do you think I will do?"

"Don't go too far." Chloe clenched her fists and stared at her stubbornly. After a while, she said, "Alright. What do I have to do to let him go?"

"You want me to let him go? Okay," Mariyah looked at Chloe strangely and said slowly, "lick my shoes clean. Otherwise, I will make him die soon!"

Chloe knew that Mariyah was shameless, but she never thought that she would make such an outrageous request. Her voice turned cold, "Mariyah, you are crazy!"

"If you want to lick it, then hurry up. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to that man." Mariyah did not notice the change of Jared. She extended her foot in front of Chloe.

Chloe turned to look at Jared. However, she found that he was still indifferent. He had no intention of helping her at all. Her heart ached. She did not know what she was still hoping for. Maybe, in his heart, she had been an insignificant or even a disgusting woman.

Chloe had never been a selfish person. She couldn't let Nathan get hurt and remained indifferent. She slowly squatted down. Tears were swirling in her eyes, but she held back. Five years ago, tears had been extravagant to her.

"If you want to lick, then hurry up. I do not have time to play with you." Mariyah arrogantly flung her curly long hair back. Even if she was a lot better than Chloe now, she was still unsatisfied.

In the end, Jared couldn't remain indifferent. After a few years, Chloe became so thin. At this time, her clear big eyes looked more innocent and pitiful.
