Chapter 77 Do You Want Me to Trample All Over You Again?
To save someone under such circumstances, physical strength, swimming skills, and experience had all
been essential.
When she had dragged Curtis out of the river, it had taken everything out of her. Both of them had almost been swept away. She didn’t believe for a moment that, with Sonya’s abilities, she could have pulled Curtis to safety.
Curtis froze, and Sonya’s expression also shifted slightly.
Willow shouted, “Chloe, what do you mean by that? Do you think you’re the only one capable of saving people? So no one else could do it? Saving someone depends not on skill, but on courage! Even if you want to remarry Curtis, you shouldn’t slander Sonya like this!”
Willow deliberately raised her voice, drawing the attention of all the guests at the banquet. She wanted nothing more than for Chloe to be embarrassed in front of Yarfdale’s officials and socialites.
If damaging rumors about Chloe spread, her future in Yarfdale would be over.
Sonya quickly added, “Chloe, if you regret the divorce and want to remarry Curtis, you could have just said so. Why resort to such despicable tricks?”
“Sonya, who’s really the despicable one here?” Chloe sneered.
“If you really saved Curtis, then where were you at the time? Why weren’t you at the scene?” Sonya
pressed.
Chloe bit her lip. She had been on an urgent mission. After she had saved Curtis, she called the
ambulance and asked a passerby to keep an eye on him.
The emergency records wouldn’t have been kept this long. And she had no idea where to find that
passerby now. So, she didn’t really have any way to prove that she was the one who had saved Curtis.
But to Chloe, that wasn’t important anymore.
“Sonya, stolen credit is still stolen. If Curtis is ever in danger again, I hope you’ll be able to save him.”
With that, Chloe turned to leave.
Sonya’s expression darkened. “Chloe, are you just going to leave like this? Don’t you owe me an apology?”
“An apology?” Chloe’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She looked at Sonya coldly. “And what exactly should I be apologizing for?”
“For slandering me. Shouldn’t you at least apologize?” Sonya shot back.
She had to hold her ground. Only that way could she convince Curtis that she was the one who had saved
him.

“Sonya, do you want me to trample all over you again?” Chloe asked sharply.
Sonya’s face instantly flushed crimson. Being publicly trampled over by Chloe at the airport had been the
ultimate humiliation.
Curtis frowned and stepped forward. “Chloe, you lied and slandered Sonya. It’s only right that you
apologize.”
Chloe couldn’t even be bothered to look at him. “And what right do you have to make me apologize?”
Curtis froze. That was true; they were already divorced. She was no longer the woman who once did
whatever he asked without hesitation.
He said, “I just want you to be honest. Your parents were heroes. They wouldn’t want their daughter to
become someone who lies-”
Before he could finish, Chloe slapped him hard across the face. “My parents or my conduct–none of that
is for you to judge!”
Curtis stood there, stunned. He never expected Chloe to hit him so suddenly.
Sonya glared at Chloe. “How dare you hit him? I’ll call the police. Chloe, you’re not getting away with this. There are plenty of witnesses here!”
After being sent to detention for a few days because of Chloe, staining her record, Sonya had held a
grudge.
Now, it was the perfect chance for revenge. She would make sure Chloe sat in a detention cell for a few
days.
“So what if she hit you?” A cold voice cut through the air. Brian walked over. “I’d like to see whether the police would care more about a slap, or about someone insulting the daughter of heroes, who is also a
veteran.”
Curtis and Sonya’s expressions sank.
“And besides,” Brian added lazily. “I just slapped Ms. Miller twice myself. Why not mention that when you
make your report?”
The moment Brian said that, their expressions sank even more.
Report Brian to the police? That would make him their enemy. Was there anyone in the country who dared
to do that?
“This is probably just a misunderstanding.” Curtis tried to smooth things over.
But Willow refused to let it go. She had finally found an opportunity to ruin Chloe’s image in Brian’s eyes.
“Brian, Chloe was married before. Mr. Green here is her ex–husband!” Willow said, assuming Brian didn’t
know.

“So what?” Brian said flatly. “I even watched their divorce press conference.”
Willow froze. So Brian already knew that? Then why did he still care about a divorced woman?
Her jealousy only deepened.
Then, she suddenly smiled. Malice flickered in her eyes. “But you probably don’t know that she’s been trying to remarry her ex–husband. She even pretended to be his savior just to make him feel guilty!”
Brian replied calmly, “Is that true?”
Willow hurriedly replied, “Of course it’s true! Thankfully, Mr. Green has known for a long time that Sonya
was his savior. Otherwise, Chloe’s scheme might have worked!”
Brian turned, fixing his gaze on Chloe. “Do you want to remarry him?”
“No,” Chloe answered firmly. “When I chose divorce, I never thought of looking back.”
Willow sneered. “She’s lying. She just couldn’t bear to give up being the wife of the CEO of a publicly listed company! After all, Mr. Green is young and accomplished. He’s a self–made star in the tech world. Of course, Chloe couldn’t bear to lose that. She could never earn that kind of wealth in her life!”
Willow’s words dripped with contempt, trying to paint Chloe as someone greedy for money.
The surrounding guests exchanged knowing glances. Such women were hardly rare.
Willow felt triumphant. After all, Brian had no patience for greedy women. Surely, his interest in Chloe
would vanish now.
But the next moment, Brian’s response left her dumbstruck. “If wealth is what she wanted, she could just come to me for it. Why would she need Curtis? My wealth far surpasses his, doesn’t it?”
