CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 493: YOU’RE USING UNCLE MORGAN’S CARD? 3

Empathy, understanding.

Because Sophia Fraser fell out with Chloe Grant, it was also because Chloe Grant didn’t help her.

Actually, Chloe Grant felt very wronged, so she suddenly felt that the sense of estrangement between her and Michael Taylor faded a bit, and they got a little closer.

"Michael, long time no see, how come you know everyone?" Sophia Fraser’s words clearly had hidden meanings.

She didn’t bother with Michael’s clearly awkward smile and picked up a champagne to sit beside him.

She glanced at Chloe Grant, her gaze filled with ridicule and disdain.

"Michael, I heard you’ve been getting close to the Morgan family recently." She placed her glass down, asking a seemingly casual question.

"It’s okay."

Although Michael Taylor kept responding to Sophia Fraser, he was obviously a bit hesitant.

"Why, did your family want you to get in touch with Grandpa Morgan?" Sophia Fraser tilted her head, not waiting for Michael’s response, she continued, "Michael, mirrors were not invented as decorations. I particularly admire the person who invented mirrors, because they allow people to see clearly what they truly are to avoid overestimating themselves."

Sophia Fraser sneered, "Michael, make sure to look in the mirror more often when you get home."

Her words were obviously intended to mock Michael Taylor.

Lily Grant smiled beside them.

Chloe Grant just watched Michael Taylor.

She felt Michael was quite a fragile person, not saying a word to retort Sophia Fraser, just bowing her head.

Uncertain if she was silently grieving.

Her demeanor easily stirred people’s protectiveness.

"It seems your home doesn’t have a mirror. I wouldn’t have thought that even the Fraser family’s esteemed lady doesn’t use a mirror to inspect herself. Rest assured, I’ll buy a few for you, ensuring you see yourself clearly inside and out."

Chloe Grant countered back.

Sophia Fraser’s expression turned unsightly, glaring at Chloe Grant, "Think before you speak next time!"

Chloe Grant was about to speak when Michael urgently grabbed her arm, saying softly, "Chloe, I want to go to the restroom, will you come with me?"

Chloe Grant knew she was deliberately finding an excuse to leave, and without exposing it, she went to the restroom with Michael.

Once they reached the restroom, Michael grabbed Chloe Grant’s arm and said, "Chloe, thank you for standing up for me just now."

After expressing her gratitude, Michael quickly changed her tone, "It’s just, Sophia has a bad temper, and confronting her will bring trouble in the long run. I don’t want you to get into any trouble because of me."

"It’s fine." Chloe Grant simply smiled.

The two lingered in the restroom for a while and then went out.

By this time, Elder Mr. Stern’s party had officially started, and Elder Mr. Stern stood on stage to give a speech, formally thanking the guests.

Someone like Chloe Grant, a nonentity at the party, naturally wouldn’t go around meddling.

She and Michael were just in the corner having some snacks and chatting.

Unexpectedly, Molly Polis was also at this party.

"Chloe, why are you still here? Young Master Morgan has arrived, shouldn’t you be seizing the chance to talk to him?"

As soon as Molly Polis saw Chloe Grant, she went right to the point, reminding Chloe of the purpose she came for today.

"I’ve confirmed that Grandpa Morgan won’t be here tonight. But Young Master Morgan is, given Lily’s relationship with him, it’s very disadvantageous for us, you need to think of something fast."

"I..."

Just as Chloe Grant was about to speak, Molly Polis reached out and pulled her up, "Say nothing more. I just heard, Young Master Morgan seems to be on the second floor, you come with me."

Molly Polis said as she tugged Chloe Grant along.

Chloe Grant couldn’t even refuse.
