Chapter 424
Chloe was absolutely livid.
The island was crawling with tiny cameras everywhere.
Clutching the cameras in her fists, she yelled at the sky, "You old creep, quit hiding and show yourself! You have the guts to spy on me, but not the courage to face me?"
Connor looked at Chloe, who was practically fuming, completely bewildered.
The live audience was also watching this unfold.
[Does Chloe not realize we're still on air?]
[What's up with the production team? Dumping them on a deserted island and not telling them they're still being broadcasted? That's pretty shady.]
[Feels like Chloe's scolding us. I kind of feel guilty, what should we do?]
[Wait, why did the screen go black again?]
Chloe crushed the tiny cameras into bits with her hands.
"Is someone really watching us?" Connor asked, stepping forward.
Chloe nodded. "It must be my mentor."
"Mentor? What mentor?"
Chloe said, "You might not believe it, but when I was in my first year of high school, I found a beggar barely alive by the road on my way home from school. I gave him some money out of kindness, and he wouldn't leave me alone after that."
"To be honest, I don't know much about his background. He was already quite old when I met him, but he's incredibly skilled. It seems there's nothing he doesn't know. From that day, he'd wait for me on my way home from school, insisting on taking me as his apprentice.
"I was so annoyed by him that I had our driver pick me up, but he sneaked into our house, causing all sorts of trouble. Finally, out of sheer frustration, I agreed."Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Connor looked as if he was listening to a fantastical tale.
Chloe smiled helplessly, "Sounds unbelievable, right? But it's true."
"So all your skills and those various talents, he taught you all that?"
Chloe nodded. "He taught me a lot, but he had no patience, always moving on to the next thing before I'd property learned the last. He. always called me dumb, saying wasn't even a tenth as good as my friend." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"You have a friend I don't know about?" Connor frowned slightly.
Chloe nodded. "Yeah, he is amazing. Top-notch in everything: horseback riding, archery, music, chess, painting, you name it. Plus, he's incredibly handsome. Any woman would fall for him at first sight."

Connor noticed how Chloe's eyes lit up with admiration and pride as she talked about her friend.
"You're a woman. Didn't you fall for him?" Connor asked with a hint of jealousy.
Chloe said seriously, "Probably because my friend doesn't like women."
Her friend was five years older than her. But ever since Chloe turned eighteen, her friend had been deliberately keeping his distance.
Even an accidental touch of his fingers would make him withdraw his hand in disgust.
They used to be very close, but then he started keeping her at arm's length, and he became colder towards her.
Chloe had asked him why. Her friend told her that when she was a child, it didn't matter, but now that she had grown up, he felt uncomfortable. He said, "I don't like being in contact with women."
That's when Chloe realized her friend was gay.
After she graduated from high
school, her friend left Rivet
moved to Eldridge City, and that's when the jewelry brand QUEEN was launched. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Although Chloe rarely contacted her friend, in her heart, he was no different from a real brother.
Connor's expression softened instantly, "Where's your friend now? We should meet him someday."
Chloe said, "He spends most of his time abroad."
Chloe sighed deeply, "Let's figure out how to get off this godforsaken island first."
That night, dozens of planes flew over their island.
Finally, Chloe saw those familiar faces. Pax, Faith, Juztin, Ruben, and the production team's staff. They finally found them.
