Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Lucas Hughes Finally Exposed

[...Alright, I’ll borrow your one million. Once I’ve gathered all the money, I’ll pay you back.]

Chloe Simpson had just finished washing up and was about to get into bed when she received a WeChat message from Alexander Johnson.

At first glance, she thought she was hallucinating.

But after recalling the events of this afternoon, she realized it was completely in character for Alexander to say something like that.

After replying to the message, she began packing her things.

It wasn’t much to pack—when she came here, she only had one suitcase, and now, leaving, it was still just one suitcase.

In less than half an hour, Chloe had finished packing everything.

She even threw away the toiletries she used here, all into the trash.

After all, she wouldn’t be coming back.

No, to be precise, she shouldn’t ever have anything to do with Alexander Johnson again in this lifetime.

If there were to be any connection, it would only be the one million she owed him.

But at this point, she had to figure out a way to pay him back as soon as possible, so she could completely cut ties with this man.

From then on, he could continue being the Crown Prince of the Capital Circle and marry the Wilson Family’s daughter.

And she would return to her own life.

At the thought of returning to her normal life, Chloe suddenly remembered Lucas Hughes.

Ha, now she finally realized that after everything that had happened, after all she’d been through, in the end, all the consequences fell squarely on her shoulders, didn’t they?

Alexander seemed completely unaffected, and now he was even planning to marry the Wilson Family’s daughter.

Whereas she—her marriage was sabotaged, she lost the man she deeply loved, and she still owed a million.

Wait, a million?

Chloe suddenly thought of the incident where Alexander had kidnapped her mother.

This was still unresolved, so why should she return the one million to Alexander?

If her mother was indeed kidnapped by him, she’d be generous not to demand compensation from him—why should she still owe him one million?

Chloe pulled out her phone and was about to send another WeChat message to Neil Johnson.

But just after typing a single line, she deleted it again.

Even if she messaged Alexander about this, so what?

Nothing would change. Plus, it wasn’t like she could gather the one million anytime soon.

Might as well wait until everything was thoroughly investigated.

Didn’t Liam Johnson also advise her to wait for the full investigation before taking any action?

Oh right, Liam Johnson’s business card.

Chloe quickly opened her suitcase, dug through the clothes she had just taken off, and pulled Liam Johnson’s business card out of her pocket.

She entered the phone number on the card into her phone before closing her suitcase again.

Chloe put her phone back into her pocket, stood up, and looked around the room one last time to make sure she hadn’t left anything behind. Then she turned, pulled her suitcase, and left the room.

Although the suitcase wasn’t heavy, it inevitably made clunking noises as she carried it downstairs.

Nanny King heard the noise from her room and immediately rushed out.

By then, Chloe had already reached the door with her suitcase and was changing her shoes.

"Miss Simpson, what are you doing? Where are you going this late at night? Didn’t you find the Eldest Young Master just last night?"

Nanny King, recalling how drunk Chloe had been the night before, spoke up hurriedly.

Even now, Nanny King had no idea how much had happened between last night and today.

She didn’t even know about the situation where Chloe had stabbed Alexander Johnson.

"I’m moving out, Nanny King. Thank you for looking after me during this time."

Chloe didn’t explain anything further. She simply thanked Nanny King and then lowered her head to continue changing her shoes.

Nanny King was Alexander’s person; Chloe didn’t feel the need to tell her much.

"What? Miss Simpson, you’re moving out? Why? How could you suddenly decide to leave like this? Does the Eldest Young Master know about this? Wait a moment—I’ll call him to ask—"

Upon hearing that Chloe was leaving, Nanny King was instantly shocked, following it up with a barrage of frantic words.

Chloe said nothing in response but took out her phone, opened her chat history with Alexander Johnson, and shoved it in front of Nanny King.

"This..."

Nanny King stared at the phone screen, her eyes wide, frozen in place, speechless.

"Nanny, if you have any questions, ask your Young Master."

After changing her shoes, Chloe left those words behind, pulled her suitcase, and walked straight out.

As for Nanny King, what happened to her no longer concerned her in the slightest.

Chloe stepped out of Alexander’s apartment and hailed a taxi on the side of the road.

"Miss, where are you heading?"

She got into the car and, without thinking, gave the address of the apartment she once shared with Lucas Hughes. She herself didn’t even notice anything off.

It wasn’t until forty-five minutes later, when the driver pulled up to the building, that she opened the door to get out, only to freeze at the sight of the familiar apartment.

Why had she given the address to the apartment she once shared with Lucas Hughes?

"Driver, take me to..."

Chloe let out a bitter smile unconsciously. She turned back to get into the car again, preparing to have the driver take her to her mother’s instead.

But just as she got back in the car and hadn’t even finished her sentence, she saw Lucas Hughes standing there in plain sight.

It was such a coincidence that she couldn’t help watching him for a moment longer.

What made it even more surreal was this: As Lucas stepped through the apartment’s main gate, a woman in a fiery red deep V-neck dress sashayed up to welcome him, her every movement brimming with allure.

And that face—Chloe would recognize it even if it turned to ash in the next life.

It was the same face she had seen when those punks cornered her long ago.
