Chapter 61: Misunderstanding
"What do you want? Hitting a woman-are you even a real
man?"
Candy rushed forward to protect Chloe.
She was worried Candy might get into trouble, so she quickly intervened. "I'm fine. Candy, this is between him and me."
Chloe stood tall, eyes locked on Michael. Gone was the old meekness; in its place, fearless resolve.
Since he already knows, there's no need for her to hide it
anymore.
Chloe lifted her head and met his gaze.
"So what if it's me? You've already figured it out, haven't you?"
She never expected to be exposed so soon and had no idea if it would bring unforeseen trouble her way.
Chloe's couldn't-care-less attitude clearly pushed Michael over the edge.

What do you mean?
So... he still doesn't know she's Jioleek?
Chloe pondered.
