On the Day I Was Kicked Out of the Wealthy Family, I Had a Flash Marriage with a Tycoon-Chapter 41: Silas Coldwell’s Discovery

Chloe Sterling returned to the Medical College.

A little after four in the afternoon, Henry Chamberlain suddenly called. She answered immediately, "Hello, Henry."

"Ma’am, are you busy?" Henry Chamberlain’s voice was hushed, as if he were afraid of being overheard.

"No, what’s wrong?"

"Uh... if you’re not busy, could you come to the company?"

Chloe Sterling looked confused. "Why would I go to the company?"

Henry Chamberlain answered honestly, "Mr. Lockwood has been in back-to-back meetings since this morning and hasn’t even eaten lunch. If you don’t come, it looks like he’ll probably keep going until midnight."

Chloe Sterling checked the time. It was already 4:30 PM. "How can he be so busy? Did something happen, or is there something important going on?"

"Actually, it’s nothing particularly important. I just feel like Mr. Lockwood is in a bad mood. If we try to talk to him, we’ll just get yelled at, and he won’t listen anyway. But if you come, he’ll definitely stop the meeting right away."

Chloe Sterling: "..."

After a moment’s hesitation, Henry Chamberlain asked cautiously, "Ma’am, did you and Mr. Lockwood have a fight? If you really don’t want to come, could you at least give him a call and tell him to come home early?"

"Wait a minute." Something suddenly occurred to Chloe Sterling, and she immediately asked, "Didn’t he come to the Medical College to see Director Xavier today? How could he have been in meetings all this time?"

Henry Chamberlain: "No, we went back to the company right after dropping you off at the Medical College. Oh, right, Mr. Lockwood did say he’d pick you up from the college this afternoon, so he should be keeping an eye on the time."

Just then, a commotion could be heard through the phone. Henry Chamberlain’s voice dropped even lower. "Sorry, Ma’am. I was getting ahead of myself and forgot. Mr. Lockwood has just ended the meeting. He’s probably on his way to pick you up, so you can just wait for him at the Medical College. And please, whatever you do, don’t tell him I called you. I’m begging you."

Chloe Sterling: "I understand."

Immediately after, a message from Jasper Lockwood arrived.

[Chloe, wait for me. I’m on my way to pick you up.]

Chloe Sterling quickly replied: [Okay, be safe on the road.]

’So, Jasper Lockwood never went to see Director Xavier this morning. He just made up an excuse to take me there.’

Chloe Sterling tidied up her desk, and seeing that it was about time, she left.

As she walked out of the Medical College, Jasper Lockwood’s car pulled up and stopped by the roadside.

Without waiting for Henry Chamberlain to get out, Chloe Sterling opened the car door herself and got in.

Jasper Lockwood sat inside, watching her with a smile. "Looks like my timing was perfect."

’With his gentle, spring-breeze-like demeanor, he doesn’t look like he’s in a bad mood at all.’ Chloe Sterling glanced at him, then at Henry Chamberlain.

Sitting in the front, Henry Chamberlain gripped the steering wheel nervously. ’I have to admire the boss’s ability to switch faces so quickly. A moment ago, he was as cold as an iceberg, and the car felt like the dead of winter, cold enough to freeze someone to death. But the second Chloe Sterling appeared, he instantly became as warm as a spring breeze.’

’He’d taken double standards to a whole new level.’

Chloe Sterling stared at the man before her with a probing gaze. Jasper Lockwood’s lips curved slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of seduction. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chloe Sterling, of course, wasn’t going to sell out Henry Chamberlain. She pursed her lips. "Just felt like looking."

Jasper Lockwood was taken aback for a second. His gaze turned complex, but then a smile reappeared in his eyes.

After a moment of thought, Chloe Sterling added, "Jasper Lockwood, I’m hungry. Can we eat somewhere nearby?"

"Of course. What do you want to eat?"

The words had barely left his mouth when the car, which had been moving along smoothly, was suddenly hit.

Jasper Lockwood’s brows furrowed. He asked in a cold voice, "What was that?"

Henry Chamberlain glanced in the rearview mirror. "Sir, someone hit us on purpose! That looks like... it’s Silas Coldwell’s car!"

"Silas Coldwell!" Hearing the name, Chloe Sterling whipped her head around to look back. Sure enough, it was Silas Coldwell’s car, and his subordinate was the one driving.

’What is he doing here?’

"Stop the car!" Jasper Lockwood ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Henry Chamberlain pulled over and stopped the car. Behind them, Silas Coldwell’s car also came to a stop.

"Chloe, wait for me in the car." With that, Jasper Lockwood pushed open the door and got out.

From the car behind, Silas Coldwell also got out, glaring coldly at him.

Jasper Lockwood looked at him with a frosty expression. "President Coldwell, what is the meaning of this?"

Silas Coldwell’s gaze shifted to the inside of his car. "Have her get out!" he said coldly. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

At his words, Jasper Lockwood’s sharp eyes narrowed, glinting with intense danger. Just as he was about to speak, the car door was suddenly pushed open, and Chloe Sterling looked like she was about to get out.

"Chloe, wait in the car. You’re not to get out."

Chloe Sterling didn’t listen to him. She got out of the car and faced the man opposite them. "Silas Coldwell! What are you doing?"

Silas Coldwell said, "Come here!"

Listening to their exchange, a flicker of surprise crossed Jasper Lockwood’s eyes. ’They know each other!’

Henry Chamberlain was in shock. ’What is going on?’

Chloe Sterling said, "I’m not coming over. You should leave now!"

Silas Coldwell could see it now. ’Chloe isn’t being forced. She and Jasper Lockwood already know each other.’

"How could you be with him? When did you two meet?" Silas Coldwell looked furious, as if he’d just been cheated on, acting as though there was really something between him and Chloe.

Chloe Sterling’s face was impassive. "Who I’m with is none of your business!"

After a moment of silence, Silas Coldwell suddenly flashed a wicked grin. "Baby, of course it’s my business. You were with me before, remember?"

Chloe Sterling’s face darkened. "...Stop spouting nonsense!"

Silas Coldwell then turned to Jasper Lockwood and said coldly, "Jasper Lockwood, she’s my woman. You’d better stay away from her."

"Silas Coldwell! Shut up!" Chloe Sterling snapped, then turned to Jasper Lockwood to explain. "No, that’s not true. I have nothing to do with him."

When he saw Chloe Sterling rush to explain herself, worried that Jasper Lockwood might get the wrong idea, Silas Coldwell was filled with shock and rage.

’This woman is always so cold and distant with me, but she acts like this in front of Jasper Lockwood? How could I possibly stand for this!’

Jasper Lockwood’s arm suddenly wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace. The corner of his lip curled into a captivating smile. "I believe you."

Chloe Sterling: "..."

Seeing their actions, Silas Coldwell was thunderstruck.

’Their relationship seems even closer than I thought. Have they already slept together?!’

At this thought, Silas Coldwell’s expression grew darker and darker. He glared at Chloe Sterling and roared, "Get over here!"

"Silas Coldwell!" Jasper Lockwood cut in suddenly, his voice cold and heavy. "Don’t push your luck!"

Silas Coldwell’s razor-sharp eyes stared him down. "Jasper Lockwood, you want to play these kinds of games with me? Fine. We’ll see about this!"

With that, he looked at Chloe Sterling again. "No wonder you told me not to make any rash moves against him at lunch. You weren’t worried about me; you were worried about this Lockwood guy! And here I was, thinking about how to protect you, worried you’d be taken by him, but it turns out you delivered yourself right to his door!"

"Protect me?" Chloe Sterling scoffed. "You clearly wanted to take me away!"

Silas Coldwell: "What’s wrong with me taking you away to protect you?"

"Forget it. There’s no talking to you." Chloe Sterling didn’t want to say any more. It was impossible to reason with Silas Coldwell.
