NovelUSAChapter 1051:
Chloe's relief immediately vanished at Everett's words, replaced by an ominous feeling. It felt as though her
heart had frozen, suspended in midair as it waited for the disaster looming ahead. She turned to look at Everett.
The moment their eyes met, her heart started again, but this time, it was pounding with sheer, unadulterated
fear.
Everett had been raised abroad by their grandfather. They had only met a handful of times during their
childhood, and in fact, they hadn't seen each other at all in the last decade.
They might be related by blood, but there was no bond between them to speak of. Chloe knew nothing about her
brother's temperament, his likes or dislikes—nothing. The only impression she had gotten from him since his
return was that, while he seemed gentle and refined, his eyes were devoid of warmth. She couldn't even look at
him for a few seconds without feeling an icy hand clench around her heart in a tight grip.
What was more, Chloe had witnessed firsthand just how ruthless Everett could be to those foolish enough to defy
him. Suffice to say, she was terrified of her brother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at him now, she knew that Everett was livid, and he was about to punish her. Worse still, she was fairly
certain that the fate awaiting her was no better than what Derek would endure.
But then something occurred to Chloe. Why should she resign herself to such torture when she wasn’t even
exposed? There was no evidence to show that she had done anything wrong. On what grounds would Everett
punish her?

With these thoughts racing in her head, Chloe put on an expression that was a mix of confusion and grievance.
“Everett... Did I—did | do something wrong?”
Everett's expression didn’t change, but Chloe could tell his rage had just turned up a notch. “Stop playing
games, Chloe. You know exactly what you've done.”
Chloe bit her lower lip. “No, I... | really don’t understand what you're saying.”
Everett's eyes narrowed dangerously. “So, you still want to deny it, huh? In that case, your punishment will be
doubled. Keep up with your little act, and it shall be quadrupled.”
Frantic now, Chloe promptly shut her mouth. It struck her then that in the eyes of her brother, her little
performance was no different from that of a fool's.
Yet at the stime, she was utterly bewildered. She wondered when Everett could have met Marissa, or what
sort of relationship they could possibly have. Why did he care so much about that woman?
For the sake of Marissa, he was turning on his own sister. Chloe couldn't help but wonder what Everett would
have done if they weren't actually related. Would he have already strangled her to death?
Despite her confusion, Chloe didn’t dare to voice her questions. In the end, she simply left, her head lowered in
defeat.
Aelfric had been keeping a close eye on Chloe. Although he didn’t hear a word Everett had said, he could hazard
a guess as to how the conversation went. Aelfric felt sorry for Chloe.
He feared that she would be punished severely once she returned home. Acting on impulse, he wheeled himself
over to Everett. “You seem to care more about outsiders than your own sister, Mr. Brock,” he said, his discontent
clear. “Don’t you think you're being unfair?”
Everett shot him a look of disdain.
