Chapter 474 Pool Party
Asher thought Lucy would still try to pester Michael, but he didn't expect that she wanted to go back to Shawn Heavy Industries.
With tears streaming down her face, Lucy pleaded, "If you don't trust me, I can write you a written agreement. I can swear that I will never do anything to hurt Chloe again. Please trust me this time. I still have to pay back Owen's money. I really can't be without a job."
Lucy was good at using her advantages.
After all, she resembled Chloe as they had the same father.
In the past, Lucy's biggest taboo was looking like Chloe, but now she felt it was the only way she could use to arouse Michael's sympathy.
But she didn't know Chloe rarely shed tears in front of Michael.
Michael remained silent, and Lucy could only stare at him.
Owen, standing beside them, seemed redundant.
Michael said indifferently, "If you're short of money, I can convert your shares in Shawn Heavy Industries to cash for you."
Lucy trembled all over. She didn't expect that he would be so heartless.
Even though she had humbled herself to this extent, he still refused her request.
She stepped back, her eyes welling up with tears, and managed a self-deprecating smile, "I know I am a sinner and do not deserve forgiveness. Michael, I apologize for my past mistakes. I won't bother you again."
With that, she turned to leave, refusing Owen's attempts to follow her, "Don't follow me. I don't deserve you to treat me like this."
......
Meanwhile, Chloe returned to Urban Lane with William and spent about an hour explaining the basic facilities of the community to him.
Chloe said, "This neighborhood is not very big. You can understand it all if you walk around a little more."
Because of what happened at dinner just now, Chloe's mood had not been very high since she returned.
William said, "Thank you. I'm sorry for today. I didn't expect to run into them in the restaurant. I'll treat you to a meal next time as an apology."
Chloe shook her head, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Anyone could go to the restaurant, they could meet anyone.
After returning home, Chloe took a shower and finally felt less tired.
The cell phone rang. Chloe received a message from Michael, "I'm sorry about what happened today. I didn't intend to bring Lucy with me. Please don't misunderstand."
Chloe stared at the message and didn't know what to reply.
She seemed to have gotten past the time when she would reply to his message immediately after receiving it.
Michael was holding his phone, hoping for her reply.
The housekeeper continued, "Ms. Miller is on the second floor. You can go up first."
When passing by the swimming pool, Chloe saw many familiar figures.
After going upstairs, Amanda smiled and waved at her, "Chloe, you're finally here!"
Chloe always felt that Amanda was too enthusiastic towards her, but she didn't know how to speak out. Maybe she was overthinking it, and Amanda was just this kind of person.
Amanda asked, "Why aren't you wearing a swimsuit?"
Chloe shrugged, "I'm not used to it."
She was pregnant now.
Amanda continued, "Don't you have anything suitable? You can wear mine. They are all new and have never been worn."
Amanda pulled her to the dressing room. There were all kinds of clothes hanging inside, which dazzled Chloe.
Chloe refused, "Ms. Miller, I'd better not go into the water."
Chloe protected her belly and implicitly wanted to reject Amanda's proposal.
