No need, I can go home by myself. You two should settle this on your own. Don’t drag me into it. This
hole situation has nothing to do with me, and I’m not some object for you both to fight over,” Chloe aid, her tone cold as she began to regain her composure.
t first, Chloe thought she was partly responsible for what had happened. If it weren’t for her, perhaps ulian and Daniel wouldn’t have ended up like this. But then, upon reflection, she realized that she was
e victim here—whether it was Julian or Daniel, she was the one caught in the middle.
he wasn’t anyone’s possession, and she didn’t need to be fought over like an object. She was an dependent person with her own dignity and self–respect. Who she liked or didn’t like, who she wanted to e with or not, was entirely up to her. These men had no right to decide for her.
rom now on, let’s not see each other again. Meeting either of you brings no benefit to my life. Today has ready caused me enough trouble, and I hope nothing like this happens again,” Chloe said, taking another ep back.
aniel, seeing Chloe withdraw, felt uneasy. If it hadn’t been for Julian, things wouldn’t have gotten so
>mplicated. He had calculated everything carefully, knowing there would be challenges, but nothing like

m sorry. I didn’t think things through and caused you trouble. I apologize, and I’ll make it up to you, but
”
here’s no need for any apologies or compensation. We’re practically strangers who have just been Iking more recently. We’re not close. If you really want to make it up to me, then the best way is for us
never meet again,” Chloe said firmly, staring at Daniel with determination.
he didn’t want to be entangled with either of them any longer. Daniel’s confession had escalated the tuation into a physical fight, making her the target of everyone’s attention.
eople wouldn’t focus on the two men–they’d focus on her and the fact that two men were fighting over
- r. Chloe, the innocent one in all of this, was being made to look bad, and she couldn’t stand it any
nger.
e had already made up her mind to cut ties with both of them, but Daniel wasn’t ready to let go. He had Imired Chloe for a long time, but circumstances had always prevented him from expressing his feelings. ow that he finally had a chance, how could he give up so easily? He had planned meticulously for this y, and he wasn’t going to back down.
hloe, I know today’s events have caused you trouble, but pursuing you is something I’ve wanted to do r a long time. You have the right to reject me, but I have the right to pursue you. You can’t stop me,” iniel said, his gaze serious.
loe was nearly laughing in disbelief. Was he crazy?
thout another word, she turned to leave, not wanting to deal with either of them anymore. But just as
e was about to go, Daniel grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving.
>wever, in the next instant, someone else grabbed Daniel’s wrist–it was Wyatt.
e last time Chloe had seen Wyatt was at the university gate, and now here he was again. He looked ore formal than usual.
iniel frowned at Wyatt’s presence. Although they were both part of the same social circle, Wyatt’s mily held more power than his own.

Chloe was equally taken aback by Wyatt’s appearance. Seeing him here made her feel a mix of surprise and relief, her eyes even welling up slightly.

Chloe tried to force a smile but couldn’t manage it. “I’m fine.”
“I came by car. How about I take you home? I’ve already finished what I needed to do here,” Wyatt offered, sensing that Chloe was trying to hold herself together.

Without hesitation, they started to leave together.
A moment ago, Chloe had felt like there was a knife hanging over her head, ready to fall at any second. But the moment Wyatt appeared, she felt a sense of relief wash over her.
Wyatt had come to attend a nearby academic conference and had finished just as the situation with Chloe had unfolded. Seeing the commotion, he had stepped in, and now, with his business taken care of, he was ready to take Chloe home.
But as they tried to leave, Daniel wasn’t ready to let go.

and if she’s leaving, the one to escort her should be me, not you,” Daniel said.
Julian, standing nearby, didn’t say a word. For once, he and Daniel were on the same side.
Wyatt looked at Daniel for a moment before turning back to Chloe. “Do you want to leave?” he asked her
