Upon hearing this, Chloe Austin frowned deeply.
“Is that so?
Have your cheeks stopped stinging?”
After she spoke, she was met with another wave of provocation from Vivian Sullivan.
“Don’t forget, in the eyes of the public, Caden and I are the real couple.
A perfect match.”
As if stabbed in the heart, Chloe Austin flinched and angrily raised her arm.
“Chloe Austin!” Caden Sterling shouted angrily.
“What are you doing!”
“Caden, save me!”
Caden Sterling quickly walked over and pulled Vivian Sullivan behind him.
Chloe Austin looked at Caden Sterling’s anxious demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh.
Watching him protect Vivian Sullivan like that, her heart felt a sharp prick of pain.
Imagining it was one thing; seeing it with her own eyes was another.
She needed to wake up to reality.
In this man’s eyes, she held no place at all.
“Eva, your face…”
In just the blink of an eye, Vivian Sullivan’s face had swollen up like a steamed bun, making her almost unrecognizable.
Vivian Sullivan covered her face, biting her lip without saying a word, looking incredibly aggrieved.
“Brother!” Wendy Sterling struggled to free herself, yelling at the top of her lungs.
“It’s Chloe Austin!
She’s the one who hit me and Sister Eva!
We just came over to say hello, and she started beating us up!”
Caden Sterling looked at her, then turned back to look at Vivian Sullivan.
He turned his head to look at Hannah Kane, his gaze sharp enough to pierce right through her.
“Apologize to Eva and Wendy.”
Hannah Kane kept a cold face, devoid of any smile.
“If you’re sick, go see a doctor.
Stop throwing a tantrum here.”
“You!” Caden Sterling’s arm was tightly grasped by Vivian Sullivan.
He turned around and spoke gently, “Eva, don’t cry.
I’m here!”
Once he had comforted Vivian Sullivan, he turned around to confront Chloe Austin.
“If you’re dissatisfied, take it out on me!
Why did you lay a hand on Eva?
Chloe Austin, I never expected you to be such a vicious woman.
Apologize to them!”
Hannah Kane’s eyes held indiscernible emotions as she let out a playful smile.
Caden Sterling watched, his face darkening completely as he coldly ordered, “I am your husband.
You’ll do whatever I tell you to do.
You did something wrong, now apologize immediately!”
Chloe Austin’s eyes curved upward as she burst into laughter, nodding.
“Fine, Hubby.
Since you don’t want to maintain your single persona anymore, what do I have to worry about?”
Saying that, she started shouting loudly to the surroundings.
“Everyone, come and look!
The famous actress Vivian Sullivan is a homewrecker!
She knowingly became the other woman, and now she’s bullying the lawful wife!
Is there any justice left…
Mmph…”
Caden Sterling hurriedly clamped a hand over her mouth, gritting his teeth in warning.
“Chloe Austin, do you have a death wish?
Shut your mouth!”
Chloe Austin bit him hard.
The man cried out in pain and let go.
Vivian Sullivan was terrified.
If this got out, her career would be ruined.
“That damn bitch!” she thought angrily.
Wendy Sterling was restrained by the security guards, unable to move, and could only stomp her feet in place.
“Chloe Austin, you shameless bitch!”
Chloe Austin looked utterly unbothered.
Twirling a strand of hair around her finger, she played with it slowly and said casually, “It’s still uncertain who will be apologizing to whom in a moment!”
As soon as her voice fell, several police officers walked over and directly addressed Chloe Austin.
“Hello, Miss Austin.
Did you call the police?”
“Yes.
They stole my diamond necklace and I caught them red-handed.
It’s no big deal, you guys can handle it as you see fit.”
Chloe Austin pointed at Vivian Sullivan and Wendy Sterling.
“Nonsense, I did no such thing!
Caden, I really didn’t.
She’s framing me.
It was clearly Wendy who threw the necklace into the trash can, not me, not me…” Vivian Sullivan quickly jumped out to explain.
Wendy Sterling’s expression was filled with shock.
She never expected Vivian Sullivan to sell her out just like that.
Seeing this, the police instantly understood the situation.
“Excuse me, ladies, please come with us to the station.
Miss Austin, we’ll also need to trouble you to come along and make a statement.”
Chloe Austin nodded and turned to leave.
“Caden, save me!
I’ve been wronged!”
Vivian Sullivan hugged Caden Sterling’s arm tightly, screaming at the top of her lungs.
She was terrified.
She was a public figure; even if she was falsely accused, once her anti-fans blew the incident out of proportion, her reputation would be entirely ruined!
“Brother!
I was wrong, please save me!
The necklace is right there in the trash can, I can go pick it up!”
Wendy Sterling panicked as well.
She struggled free from her restraints, ran to the trash can, and directly picked it out.
She even waved it at the police.
“It’s not lost, it’s not lost!
Look, it’s right here!
Please don’t take me away!”
“Hello, we’ll settle this privately first,” Caden Sterling stepped in to play the hero saving the damsels in distress.
He directly grabbed Chloe Austin.
“Have you caused enough of a scene?
Is this fun for you?”
“Was it fun for them to throw away my necklace?” Chloe Austin casually smoothed out her curly hair.
“How about this.
Considering we know each other, don’t say I’m not giving you any face.
Have Vivian Sullivan and Wendy Sterling bow and apologize to me.
Additionally, pay for the necklace at its full original price.
Otherwise…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone present understood the implication.
“You!”
Caden Sterling was furious, but in broad daylight with an audience, there was nothing he could do to her.
For Vivian Sullivan’s sake, he could only compromise.
“Eva, don’t be afraid.
Just apologize.
We can talk about the rest later, okay?
I will definitely get justice for you afterward.”
He gently coaxed Vivian Sullivan.
These words fell upon Chloe Austin’s ears, making her feel incredibly disgusted.
She crossed her arms, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
“You have one minute left.
My patience is limited.”
Seeing no way out, Wendy Sterling knew she didn’t want to go to the police station.
Thus, she bowed directly to Chloe Austin and apologized, “I’m sorry, Chloe Austin.
I was wrong!”
After a brief internal struggle, Vivian Sullivan had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize as well.
“I’m sorry!”
“Louder.
Didn’t you eat enough today?”
