Chapter 140
Chloe and Lucas had never officially tied the knot. So, technically, they weren't married at all. But why had Lucas never mentioned it before? Did he truly consider Chloe the unofficial wife of his, even without a marriage certificate? Why would Lucas deceive her?
However, Linda quickly realized something even more serious. It was the divorce agreement she had handed to Lucas last night. Since his marriage to Chloe was non-existent, there was no need to sign a divorce agreement at all. Chloe had set a trap for Linda, and she had walked right into it.
The moment Linda presented the divorce agreement, Lucas knew she was lying to him! The divorce agreement was fake. She only crafted it to make him agree to a divorce. Such a lie was bound to fall apart easily. No wonder Lucas, whom she had managed to calm last night, suddenly grabbed her by the throat in a frenzy. He must have discovered something.
The signature! He must have realized the signature she forged as Chloe's was a giveaway. If she could imitate Chloe's handwriting, then the diary that drove him and Chloe apart could also have been forged. Lucas must have put everything together. That was why he had such a drastic change in behavior. It all made sense now.
Linda collapsed to the ground, feeling as if she had plunged into an icy cellar.
Around noon, Chloe had planned to call Connor about visiting the Moncada family that evening. Then she remembered that the CNR Tower and the television station were just across the street from each other, and she decided to go directly to Connor's office, hoping to snag a free meal and tell him in person.
Today, Chloe didn't use the private elevator from the underground parking lot. Instead, she entered through the main doors of the CNR Tower. She had hoped to blend in like any other office worker. To her surprise, she was recognized by the security at the entrance right away.
"Ms. Chloe, welcome."
"Please, come in, Ms. Chloe!"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Once inside, everyone she encountered greeted her warmly.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Chloe."
"Hello, Ms. Chloe."
"Ms. Chloe, hello."
Chloe was baffled. Why did everyone seem to recognize her when she didn't know them? Even though she was a somewhat famous host, her fame shouldn't have been to this extent. She had been to the CNR Tower before, and even the receptionists didn't recognize her back then.
Could it be because of last night's trending topic? Indeed, she and Connor had trended online last night. But it was only her name that appeared, not her photo. Almost all the media used photos of the fireworks instead. So, these people couldn't possibly recognize her at a glance. What was going on?
But after a few steps, Chloe finally got it. The CNR Tower's lobby featured a massive LED screen. Usually, it displayed promotional content for the company. But now, it

her. There were a couple of photos, mostly candid shots of her and Connor dancing together from the previous night. The rest were all personal photos of Chloe.
There were shots of her hosting the news, as well as her private life. Like her watering flowers on the balcony, sitting on a wicker chair stargazing, and even sleeping. Each photo was captured artistically. From the angles and the settings, she could tell Connor had taken all of these during his time at Greenpeace Estate.
She had no idea that Connor had secretly taken so many photos of her over the past three years. Plus, they were all so beautifully shot. Just, having them displayed here on a loop for all to see was utterly mortifying.
