On the Day I Was Kicked Out of the Wealthy Family, I Had a Flash Marriage with a Tycoon-Chapter 57: Injured

Ignoring Rose Lynch’s words, Esther Sterling’s mind was already racing. ’Does Chloe Sterling have an illegitimate child?’

’If that’s the case, this is fantastic.’

’If a scandal like this gets out, no man will want Chloe Sterling anymore.’

Esther Sterling’s lips curved into a smile. She turned and said, "Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely become the pride of the Sterling Family."

Rose Lynch grasped her hand. "Thank goodness Mom still has you."

"Mom, did Mrs. Chester say anything else? Is Chloe Sterling really with a child?"

At the mention of Chloe Sterling, Rose Lynch’s recently smoothed brow furrowed again. "She didn’t say anything else. Since she saw it with her own eyes, it must be true. Enough, let’s not talk about her. Just mentioning her name irritates me."

"Okay, we won’t talk about her," Esther Sterling said comfortingly. "And that Mrs. Chester, you shouldn’t associate with her anymore. She’s not even worthy of sitting with you."

Rose Lynch snorted. "If I had known she was going to be there, I wouldn’t have gone." After a pause, she added, "I’m going upstairs to rest for a bit. Don’t call me for dinner."

With that, she went upstairs.

Esther Sterling’s eyes darted around. She picked up her phone and made a call. "Look into this child Chloe Sterling has with her." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

「Saturday.」

Chloe Sterling went to Jean Kensington’s apartment again.

"You’ve really decided to go to Country E?"

"I’ve decided. I’ll go on Monday."

"Alright." Jean Kensington sat in front of her computer, her slender, fair fingers tapping on the keyboard. "I’ll contact the Lancasters now and tell them you’ll be there the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." After a pause, Chloe Sterling looked at the baby and added, "You start work on Monday. What about the baby?"

Jean Kensington replied while typing, "I’ve already arranged everything. Someone will look after him, and in a few days, I’ll enroll him in a nearby kindergarten."

Hearing the word "kindergarten," the baby turned to look at his mother, a hint of resignation in his eyes.

’I don’t want to go to kindergarten. Being with those three-year-olds is so childish.’

’But Mom wants me to make some friends. I guess I should just listen to her.’

Looking at the little one’s expression, Chloe Sterling murmured, "I get the feeling the baby doesn’t really want to go."

Jean Kensington glanced at her son. "You can’t be alone forever. It’s time to make some friends your own age. Son, you’ll definitely make good friends, and then you’ll have playmates."

The baby: "..."

’I think being alone is just fine.’

Jean Kensington’s gaze returned to the screen. "The Lancaster Family replied. What time is your flight? The Lancasters said they’ll send someone to pick you up from the airport."

Chloe Sterling said, "Tell them not to worry about it. I’ll get there myself."

"Why would you go by yourself? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to have the Lancasters pick you up directly from the airport?"

After a few seconds, Chloe Sterling finally answered, "Jasper Lockwood is going with me. We’re taking a private jet."

"Oh?" Jean Kensington smiled. "Is that so? It seems The Big Boss Lockwood is quite the clinger. Is he worried you’ll be snatched away by Silas Coldwell?"

Chloe Sterling said seriously, "He just happens to be going to inspect a project in Country E."

Jean Kensington raised an eyebrow. "And you believe that?"

Chloe Sterling: "I believe him."

’As if.’

After leaving the apartment, Chloe Sterling headed to the martial arts school, planning to tell Chase Langdon about her trip to Country E.

As she was passing through a remote intersection, four or five cars suddenly rushed out from the left lane. It looked like four of the cars were chasing and trying to corner a commercial van in front.

Seeing this, Chloe Sterling slammed on the brakes, stopping just before the intersection.

Immediately after, she saw the four cars surround the van, forcing it to a stop.

The vehicles were right in front of Chloe Sterling’s car. She could vaguely make out the driver of the trapped van.

’It’s one of Silas Coldwell’s men!’

’Then Silas Coldwell is probably in the car too. Who are these people? How dare they cause trouble for Silas Coldwell.’

Just then, the van suddenly started up and rammed into the two cars blocking its path.

But the other party’s vehicles were modified SUVs, and the distance was too short. The van couldn’t break through in one go.

After a moment’s hesitation, Chloe Sterling put on her sunglasses, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and stomped on the gas, ramming into the rear of one of the SUVs.

She hit it hard. The other car drifted a half-circle on the spot, and the van seized the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, driving past her on her right front side.

The driver in the van also got a clear look at Chloe Sterling.

"Boss! I think it’s Miss Sterling!"

Silas Coldwell sat in the car, looking at the girl in the vehicle beside them. Even though she wore sunglasses that covered almost half her face, he recognized her as Chloe Sterling in a single glance.

His face instantly darkened. "This woman! Who told her to meddle in other people’s business!"

Chloe Sterling, of course, wasn’t going to just sit there and wait for death. She quickly reversed, followed by a beautiful drifting U-turn, and then sped away.

Now, her car and Silas Coldwell’s were heading in the same direction, and the four cars behind them began to chase their two vehicles separately.

Chloe Sterling’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Silas Coldwell. She didn’t answer.

Two of the cars behind quickly caught up to her and began ramming her rear bumper violently, then slammed into her from the side.

’No wonder they managed to corner Silas Coldwell.’ Chloe Sterling couldn’t help but be surprised by the other drivers’ skills.

She used a voice command to call Silas Coldwell. The phone rang once before he immediately picked up. Before he could speak, Chloe Sterling demanded, "Who are these people? They’re relentless!"

Silas Coldwell snapped furiously, "Who told you to meddle! Lynn Chester, do you really think you’re so damn tough!"

Chloe Sterling: "..."

Silas Coldwell immediately followed up, "Are you hurt?"

Chloe Sterling moved her arm, which was aching from the impact, and replied curtly, "No!"

Silas Coldwell seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his tone softening slightly. "Drive faster. My men are almost here."

Chloe Sterling accelerated again but still couldn’t escape the pincer attack from both sides.

’These people are on par with professional drivers or assassins.’

The driver’s side window suddenly shattered. Glass shards embedded themselves in Chloe Sterling’s arm, and blood instantly soaked her black sleeve.

Chloe Sterling just frowned, her face showing little other emotion.

Noticing the situation over there, Silas Coldwell’s expression turned frigid to the extreme. If looks could kill, those men would have probably exploded on the spot.

After the stalemate continued for a few more minutes, a dozen or so black sedans rushed over. It was Silas Coldwell’s men.

Seeing this, the four cars didn’t prolong the confrontation, instead quickly turning around to retreat.

The dozen or so cars swiftly gave chase, and someone started firing at the four vehicles through a car window.

Silas Coldwell’s car stopped in front of Chloe Sterling’s. She immediately stopped as well, and then Silas Coldwell got out and strode toward her.

Chloe Sterling calmly pulled the glass shards out of her arm.

Silas Coldwell’s brows were tightly knit. He said in a low voice, "Get in my car. Come back with me and get that bandaged."

"No need. I’m fine," Chloe Sterling said faintly.

Silas Coldwell directly pulled open the deformed car door with its shattered window. "Get out."
