Chapitre 1483: George Outwits Chloe

When George heard Chloe's voice, he placed Paige on his uninjured leg and said calmly, "That's why it hurts to beat someone up."

Chloe felt embarrassed. She could clearly feel George's unfriendliness toward her. 

If she had not seen the interaction between Candice and George, she would have thought that George was difficult to get along with. Now, it was clear that he was deliberately targeting her.

She smiled, trying to give herself a way out. "I didn't know you knew how to joke, George."

"I never joke. So..." George looked at Chloe. "Don't provoke me."

"How could I offend you? You're my sister's stepson. I can't even wait to curry favor with you," Chloe quickly said.

That "stepson" seemed unintentional, but it did not sound nice.

"Stepson? What stepson?" Paige seemed to have heard an unfamiliar word, so she asked Chloe as she blinked

"It's–"

George glared at Chloe, and she swallowed the words that she was about to say.
