Chapter 3 - Chloe Tries To Gaslight Ethan In Front Of Guests
Chloe forced a desperate tear to squeeze out of the corner of her eye, putting on her best performance of wounded innocence.
“You’re really going to believe a confused six-year-old child over your own fiancée who loves you?” she sobbed loudly.
She turned her tear-streaked face toward the crowd of high-society guests standing near the banquet tables.
“Everyone, look at him! He’s throwing away our entire future over a prank text message!” Chloe shouted to the room.
Not a single guest stepped forward to comfort her; instead, people recoiled as if she were carrying a plague.
Lily buried her face deeper into Ethan’s navy jacket, her small frame still trembling from the sudden aggression.
“She wasn't playing, Daddy... she locked me in the walk-in pantry yesterday and took my bunny,” Lily whispered softly.
Ethan’s jaw clenched so hard a muscle twitched violently along his cheekbone as the horrific reality sank in.
