At most, it will only cause a slight harm to Arnold’s physical health, and after resting for a few days, he should recover,” the Grand Lady Johnson said, both thinking and speaking thus.

Listening to this, Chloe didn’t hold much hope for the matter.

Initially, when Skylar Morgan drugged Arnold, she knew about it, and even deliberately facilitated the event, wanting to see whether this trick would work on Arnold.

Afterwards, she had someone secretly investigate the medicinal effect of the drug Morgan used, which was not something an ordinary man could endure.

But Arnold was an exception. He got through it, and didn’t even let Morgan touch him. Seeing Morgan’s defeated expression at the time filled Chloe with both disappointment and relief.

After all, she wasn’t magnanimous enough in her heart to share Arnold with another woman.

For all these years, this was why Chloe never dared to act against Arnold; once it was exposed, their relationship could never be repaired.

Just like now, her slip-up made it impossible to mend their relationship to what it was before.

Therefore, she must try this extreme method once.

Chloe wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said to the Grand Lady Johnson, “Mom, you’ve been so good to me, I don’t even know how to thank you properly. Am I a disappointment to you by being so incompetent?”

The failure of this matter was her own doing.

“How could that be? I know all too well about Arnold’s abilities. Besides, I too have made mistakes. The blame lies on us for being too hasty. When dealing with Victoria Garcia, we shouldn’t have made a move unless we were certain it would kill her,” the Grand Lady Johnson had seen through this and had been restraining herself from acting rashly.

Chloe, of course, knew this, but she had her own selfish desires, “I heard they were about to get married and even got the certificate, so I couldn’t resist making a move. I’m sorry, Mom! I was wrong. I should have listened to you in the first place and not acted on my own.”

“Silly child, I know you must be feeling even worse than me,” the Grand Lady Johnson said with loving detail. “Now, the most important thing is to wait for an opportunity, then we’ll strategize about turning cooked rice into a done deal, and only after having a child shall we discuss marriage matters.”

As far as the Grand Lady Johnson was concerned, this was the extent to which she could help. Ultimately, Chloe would have to live her own life.

She took Chloe’s hand and said with a gentle tone, “Chloe, is marrying Arnold truly what you desire?”

A woman who doesn’t marry a man willing to treat her well won’t find happiness in even the most splendid life.

“Mom, you know my childhood wish was to become Arnold’s bride, and that has not changed over all these years, nor will it ever change. Whether life is good or not, I’m willing to bear it,” Chloe believed that just being by Arnold’s side was already a blessed affair.

Without fulfilling this obsession, she would never be able to let go in this lifetime.

Only by truly trying would she know.

Without having tried, no amount of talk could stop her determination to become his bride.

“I know. Take it easy. During this time, just focus on recuperating well. I treat you like my daughter, so you must take good care of yourself. Only with good health can you plan great things, understand?”

The Grand Lady Johnson and Chloe exchanged words in a familiar dialogue, one willing to please and the other willing to listen, presenting a picture of perfect harmony.
