CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33 WELL DONE!

"Director!"

Chloe Simpson burst into Director Tyler Howard’s office without a care, not even bothering to knock, and pushed the door open with a bang.

"Chloe, what are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry to come over?"

For a subordinate who would storm in so unceremoniously, Tyler Howard naturally didn’t have a good tone.

Fortunately, Lucas Hughes was also in Tyler Howard’s office by chance, discussing the new psychological intervention clinic proposed by Alexander Johnson.

Regarding Alexander Johnson’s sudden proposal during the morning meeting to send both him and Chloe to this clinic, Lucas Hughes felt very uneasy and came over to Tyler Howard’s office right after the meeting to try to find out more.

Unexpectedly, just after a few words, Chloe rushed in, all anxious and flustered.

Seeing Chloe like this, Lucas Hughes guessed something was wrong.

He quickly covered for Chloe: "Director, I’m sorry, Chloe must be here to find me. What’s wrong? Did something happen at home? Let’s go, let’s talk outside!"

"No..." Chloe was stunned.

What happened at home? She was here to resign!

But before she could finish her sentence, Lucas Hughes forcefully pulled her out.

"Chloe, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lucas Hughes felt Chloe struggling, so he pulled even harder and dragged her to a corner of the stairwell.

"Lucas, I want to resign! I’m scared! Can’t we just leave Ansun and the whole of Kyohai?"

Chloe was in complete chaos, her mind filled with thoughts about Alexander Johnson setting up that psychological intervention clinic for her and Lucas Hughes.

"Chloe, don’t panic, calm down first, listen to me. Didn’t we agree yesterday to wait and see first..."

There was no way Lucas Hughes would let Chloe resign and quickly tried to calm her down.

"No! I don’t want to hear what you have to say, and I don’t want to calm down. I just want to resign now! Lucas, let’s leave, okay? I’m really scared right now."

"Alexander Johnson suddenly put both of us under his nose today. Who knows what he wants to do. I really don’t want to stay even one more day!"

Chloe didn’t give Lucas Hughes a chance to comfort her; she interrupted him immediately.

She was like a threatened little cat, claws out, trying to protect herself.

She didn’t know whether it was Alexander Johnson’s overwhelming power in the Capital Circle or the strange feelings inside her she couldn’t control.

Through these few encounters, she realized that every time she met Alexander Johnson, she somewhat lost control of herself.

If she went under Alexander Johnson’s watch, seeing him all the time, and he continued to pester her...

She really couldn’t imagine what would happen next.

Would she fall into madness again like on their wedding night?

No! It must not happen!

Thinking of such consequences was unbearable for Chloe.

She had been in love for five years and was now married to Lucas Hughes.

Both parents, relatives, friends, everyone around them had witnessed their marriage.

Her mother was particularly satisfied with Lucas Hughes, and this life was pretty good.

She really just wanted to live quietly and peacefully with Lucas Hughes.

After speaking, she didn’t know where the strength came from; she pushed Lucas Hughes onto the ground.

And once again, like a madwoman, rushed towards the director’s office!

"Chloe!"

Lucas Hughes shouted behind her, but she didn’t listen.

"Fine! Go ahead then! Go now! We might as well all die together! Anyway, there’s already someone monitoring my parents!"

Only when Lucas Hughes shouted hysterically did she suddenly stop and turn back.

"What did you say?"

Lucas Hughes knew Chloe would react this way and continued: "Yesterday, my parents called, saying they felt like someone has been following them lately."

"Why do you think I said what I did last night! Chloe, I didn’t want to tell you all this because I was afraid you’d be scared. But now if I don’t tell you, you’ll really push both our families to the brink."

"Maybe there’s also someone monitoring your mother. Chloe, I know you’re scared, I’m scared too! After all, it’s Alexander Johnson, the Young Master who holds sway over the Capital Circle! But what can we do?"

"Tell me, what can I do? Can I ignore my own parents? Or ignore your mother?!"

In the end, Lucas Hughes dramatically hit his own head with his hand.

"It’s my fault for being useless! Damn it, why am I so powerless? If I had the strength to fight Alexander Johnson, it wouldn’t be a problem! Waaah..."

"Lucas, don’t do this. It’s not your fault, if there’s anyone to blame, it’s me. If I hadn’t gotten drunk and spent that night with Alexander Johnson, none of this would have happened."

"Don’t treat yourself like this, I’m the one who was wrong, Lucas. Don’t worry, I won’t be impulsive anymore. Like you said, we can wait and see first. Maybe... maybe Alexander Johnson will lose interest after a few days."

Chloe never thought things would turn out like this and, feeling full of pain, she ran over and hugged Lucas Hughes tightly.

Thinking back to the entanglement with Alexander Johnson on their wedding night, she felt it was all her fault.

She didn’t suspect anything about Lucas Hughes.

"Chloe, I’m sorry, I don’t want this either, but now we really don’t have any way out. Don’t worry, I’ll go to Alexander Johnson’s department with you, I’ll be with you. I promise I’ll protect you well!"

Lucas Hughes said some comforting words, and just then, Chloe’s phone rang.

It was the emergency department saying they needed manpower and for her to go quickly, so she left.

Watching Chloe hurry away, Lucas Hughes finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Truly, a PhD in Medicine, what a brilliant job!"
