From Ashes to Queen: Now I Call the Shots novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Chloe Walked Into That One

After all, they were blood relatives; it was normal to be close.

So Aurora had never imagined that deep down, Susan didn’t want Scarlett to stay either.

At that moment, Susan continued.

“You’d better pray this is all just a misunderstanding. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you next time.”

Aurora was stunned.

“Grandma, I…”

Susan raised her hand.

Aurora immediately fell silent.

“I won’t interfere in this matter; but you can go ask someone else for help.”

Aurora didn’t understand, Susan had to spell it out more clearly.

“The ones who actually care about her are from the main branch. You know what to do now?”

Aurora’s eyes widened instantly. Of course, she knew that. But did it really make a difference? Wasn’t it still the Lane family stepping in?

Besides, if Susan handled it, she’d wrap things up perfectly; the main branch would be grateful, and Sophia wouldn’t dare show her attitude again. Wouldn’t that be a win–win?

“Well, what are you waiting for?”

Susan rubbed her temples, visibly impatient.

Aurora didn’t have time to overthink it; she got up quickly and rushed to the villa where the main branch

lived.

The younger Lane kids all lived nearby, out of loyalty and convenience

Otherwise, she might’ve collapsed from the run.

She had hoped things would go smoothly.

But to her surprise, she had just finished explaining the situation to Sophia when her uncle and aunt showed up at the door.

Chloe had just returned from Trenwyn.

Grayson had his arm around her waist.

The two of them looked travel–worn and dusty.

Who knew how much we’d overheard? In the next moment, Chloe shoved Grayson aside and walked in.

“Sophia, you heard it too. Just look at the kind of people Scarlett’s been hanging around! f word of this gets out, how is the Lane family supposed to hold its head high?”

Sophia’s beautiful eyes turned frosty.

“That’s quite the statement. So before Scarlett came back, you had your head held high?”

Chloe was momentarily speechless.

Grayson stepped forward to shield his wife.

“Sophia, she’s just looking out for the family. There’s no need for the barbs.”

Sophia sneered.

“Saying my daughter shames the Lane family–I didn’t slap her right then and there. That’s me being civilized.”

Grayson was stunned.

Chloe stopped him. “Don’t argue with her. Let’s deal with the situation first. If the rumors are true, we should send Scarlett away for a while, let her lie low. Once this blows over, we can bring her back.”

Sophia’s gaze turned even colder.

“And where exactly do you think we should send Scarlett? Sophia, I didn’t mean to mistreat her.”

Chloe took a few steps forward and spoke with affected sincerity.

“We have so many branch offices. Wouldn’t it be good for her to go inspect a few of them? She could avoid the scandal and gain some experience.”

Sophia raised a brow.

“Oh? That sounds like such a great idea. I should’ve thought of it earlier. Sister–in–law, why don’t you start tomorrow? Begin with the project in Ambrosia.”

Chloe’s face turned pale.

Because she knew, Sophia always meant what she said.

(

Backed by her powerful family, strong lineage, a doting husband, and a capable son, she had no need to be polite; she gave orders without blinking.

In the past, Chloe might’ve been willing to visit a few projects, hoping it would elevate her standing.

But now…

“Sophia, please don’t joke like that. I’m a stay–at–home wife; I’ve never been involved in the business world. If I went, wouldn’t I just embarrass the Lane family?”

Then she quickly changed the subject.

“Aurora, why don’t you tell us what the police said when they took Scarlett away?”

Aurora wiped her tears.

“I don’t know either. My stomach hurt, so I went to the bathroom. When I left, Scarlett had just arrived. Oh. right, she brought two bodyguards with her; they should know what happened. Aunt Sophia, those
