Chapter 611: Chapter 608: Your Daughter Is Full of Spice

"Mom!" Chloe Grant cried out in protest.

Jean Jarvis glanced at Adam Warren, who, despite having just been slapped, was still staring fixedly at Chloe Grant. She pushed Chloe toward the door. "I said, go outside and wait for me! I’ll explain everything. If you don’t listen, I’m going to get angry!"

Chloe Grant bit her lip, shot Adam Warren another vicious glare, and then turned and walked out.

Jean Jarvis watched her daughter leave and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked over at Adam Warren and saw him craning his neck, his eyes still glued to Chloe’s retreating back.

A fire of rage ignited within her. "Adam Warren, let me tell you something. Don’t you even think about getting any ideas about my daughter. If you do, I swear I’ll fight you to the death, even if it costs me everything!"

Adam Warren finally tore his gaze away and looked at her. He rubbed his slapped cheek and chuckled. "Jean, listen to you. Why would I be interested in a kid? I just think your daughter is feisty and straightforward. Mmm, she’s got spunk!"

"You! Anyway, I’ve said my piece. If you’re smart, you’ll know what to do. Otherwise, you’ll regret this for the rest of your life!"

Seething with anger, Jean Jarvis grabbed her bag. "As for leaving Novaria, I want you to arrange it as soon as possible. The sooner, the better."

After saying this, she hurried out after Chloe Grant.

Adam Warren, however, didn’t seem to take her words to heart. He just stared out the door after them, a lecherous smile spreading across his face. He shook his head and muttered, "Chloe? Tsk, tsk... that fierce look, that little temper... I like it!"

...

In the car, Chloe Grant and Jean Jarvis were in the driver’s and passenger’s seats, respectively.

"Chloe, you really misunderstood what happened today. There’s nothing shady going on between him and me."

"Then tell me, why were you meeting him in secret? And in such a remote, secluded place? Why were you two so close? Mom, how could a man like that even be good enough for you? Don’t you think it’s beneath you?"

"Chloe, listen to me. The only reason I met with that man was to completely cut your father off from Skylar Hayes and her daughter. It was to protect our position in the Grant Family.

That man is just someone I hired to show up and pose as Clara Grant’s biological father when the time is right! It looked like we were holding hands earlier, but I was just giving him his payment.

You said it yourself, how could a man like him ever be good enough for me? My standards aren’t that low!" Jean Jarvis explained with great sincerity.

"Really?" Chloe Grant was still half-doubting. "Then why did you hide it from me?"

"This whole thing is risky. The less you know, the safer you’ll be. If... if one day, it all comes to light, I just want you to be able to stay out of it and not get dragged in." Jean Jarvis said, patting her daughter’s hand.

But she alone knew that was only one of the reasons for hiding it from her daughter. The other reason...

Chloe Grant was clearly convinced. She squeezed Jean Jarvis’s hand, looking ashamed. "Mom, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you. You did all this for me, and I actually... Mom, you’re not mad at me, are you?"

"Silly girl, you’re my only daughter. Who else would I do it for? As long as you can secure your position as the young lady of the Grant Family and marry Miles, the man you love, then I’ll have no regrets in this life." Jean Jarvis smiled, stroking her long hair.

"Mom, you’re the best to me," Chloe Grant said, hugging Jean Jarvis.

"Alright now. Didn’t you say you wanted to go out for a bit? Come on, I’ll go with you," Jean Jarvis said with a smile, patting her on the back.

"Okay." Chloe Grant let her go, nodded, and started the car.
