Whether I agreed or not, I knew I’d become the laughingstock of their circle afterward.
I let out a cold laugh.
“Pay you? Aren’t you the one who claims to be a man? Having a flat chest is normal. Why even need implants?”
Chloe’s smile froze on her face.
“Sis-in-law, if you won’t pay, fine. But why mock me?”
Once she realized I wasn’t easy prey, she stopped trying to engage with me.
In fact, wherever I was, she deliberately kept her distance.
Within minutes, the others started giving me strange looks.
A kind soul whispered in my ear,
“Don’t you see? Chloe’s trying to lead everyone into isolating you.”
I smiled.
“That’s exactly what I want.”
This was my first—and would be my last—time attending one of these gatherings.
But when I returned from the restroom, I saw Ethan handing Chloe a check.
“Who else spoils you like I do?”
“The check says one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Go ahead and spend it.”
“And don’t tell Lily—I don’t want her overthinking.”
Chloe gleefully accepted it and planted a loud kiss on his cheek.
“Knew you were loyal, brother.”
Ethan’s gaze slid downward, and without hesitation, he reached out to squeeze her chest.
