160 Chapter 160

"W—What do you want to talk about?" Chloe asked carefully.

Tommy said nothing for a while but kept glaring until he suddenly took a swift step forward, stretched his hand, and gripped Chloe's arm tightly.

The move was too sudden for Chloe to react, so she could only struggle a bit, which triggered Tommy to squeeze her arm even harder until Chloe grimaced in pain.

"Aw— ouch! L--Let me go!"

Tommy had zero kindness towards Chloe, unlike the usual Tommy, who looked so kind and amiable in front of his wife and in-laws. He slammed her to the wall until she almost screamed. But Tommy threatened her before she could even open her mouth.

"Listen, you scrawny bitch. Don't act so innocent. I know you saw my girlfriend and me in the restaurant," Tommy snarled at her. "And I will not let you go until you tell me the truth."

Chloe averted her gaze, not wanting to stare at Tommy, who looked so unfamiliar. She thought Tommy was a good man for her big sister. But everything seemed to be a facade.

The real Thomas 'Tommy' Davis was the one standing in front of Chloe right now, a man who seemed to forget that he had a hardworking wife and four sons at home.

"W—What truth?" Chloe asked. "I just accidentally saw you with your… uh… girlfriend. Of course, I'd be shocked!"

"Tell me, have you taken a picture of us?" Tommy asked.

"W—Why would I do that?" Chloe lied. Of course, she took a picture. It'd be an idiot for her not to collect evidence of Tommy's infidelity in case she wanted to tell Chelsea about it.

Tommy peered at Chloe suspiciously, and Chloe averted her gaze as always. Normally, when someone averted their gaze, they tried to cover their nervousness.

Chloe was doing the exact thing now, but Tommy couldn't judge her behavior like a normal person.

Because Chloe always did this, even if relaxed, she'd always try to dodge whenever someone was staring at her. She was very meek and couldn't hold a conversation for long.

Or so he thought…

Because the woman in front of him seemed to have something different in her after she cheated and ran away from Vincent's mansion.

Chelsea told him that Chloe ran away because she was an ungrateful whore. She wasted Vincent Gray— a very loyal husband to her.

Since Tommy couldn't determine whether Chloe was lying or not, he decided to threaten her instead;

"Listen to me, I don't want this relationship between my girlfriend and me to be known, especially by Chelsea," Tommy said. "So, if you dare to tell her about this, I will make sure you will regret it."

Tommy was thinking quickly about something that'd scare this meek lady, and he smirked once he found one, "If you dare to tell Chelsea, I will tell Judith that the one I'm cheating with is you."

Chloe's eyes widened instantly. She had a few scenarios of what Tommy would do in her head. But she never expected him to want to drag her down to hell.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',

"Y—You can't do that. We barely know each other. They will not believe you!" Chloe denied. "I've never even talked to you in private. That's not possible for us to cheat!"

But Tommy only sneered maliciously, "Who will your big sister and your mom believe more? A loyal husband and good father of four kids, or a whore who cheated on her rich and loving husband?"

"But I'm not—"

"Oh, come on, I don't care whether it's true. I also don't believe Vincent is THAT good. But Chelsea and Judith believe him completely," Tommy said. "Do you know what your mother does these days?"

…

"She keeps trying to call Vincent daily, and when he picks up the call, Judith would apologize and call you a whore. She also tells Vincent that she'll not accept you into her house unless you return to Vincent."

Chloe turned stiff instantly. She knew her mother had already despised her for 'cheating.'

Chloe also knew that her mother completely sided with Vincent because he always gave money to her and Chelsea. Vincent was basically her retirement saving.

But when she was reminded of Tommy, she couldn't help but feel awful about herself. Because she couldn't even gain her mother's trust.

'Maybe it's my fault because I can't stand up against Vincent…' Chloe thought. 'But what could I do against him? He has everything on his side!'

Slowly, her sight turned blurry, and tears started streaming down her cheeks.

Tommy frowned when he saw her crying, "Why are you crying? Obviously, you're the one who cheated, right? Do you think I will believe if you say that you work for yourself after running away from Vincent?"

"I bet you're an old man's mistress now!" Tommy accused.

But Chloe couldn't hear anything anymore. She was too sad to even focus, let alone listen to him.

Tommy got uncomfortable seeing her crying, so she shoved her to the wall before releasing his grip.

Chloe slumped on the floor, still unreactive even after she got hurt. Tommy distanced himself from her and added one more threat, "If Chelsea knows about my affair, then I will make sure to drag you down to hell. Think about that, Chloe."

Tommy knew that Chloe was a meek woman, so he was convinced that Chloe wouldn't tell Chelsea about his affair. After all, Chloe was an idiot with no courage.

Tommy turned around and walked away, leaving Chloe, who was still trying to collect herself.

It took Chloe at least five minutes until she got up and walked to the restroom to wash her face. After all, she didn't want her daughter to see her crying.

She stared at the mirror and bit her lower lip to ensure she didn't cry again.

"It's okay, Chloe. Your mom and sister don't believe in you because you can't give them money. Maybe after I saved enough from Vernon, I can give them a little, so they'd see me as their family once more…."
