CHAPTER 7 — CHLOE FINALLY LEARNS
Chloe’s life changed after the investigation.
Without Lauren’s financial support, she had to face reality.
She found a job.
She learned responsibility.
She stopped blaming everyone else.
Months later, she met Lauren for coffee.
“I hated you,” Chloe admitted.
Lauren looked surprised.
“Why?”
“Because you had everything I wanted.”
Lauren smiled sadly.
“I didn’t have everything.”
She looked down.
“I had responsibility.”
Chloe became quiet.
Then she finally understood.
Lauren’s success wasn’t luck.
It was sacrifice.
Something Chloe had never respected.
“I’m sorry,” Chloe whispered.
This time, Lauren believed her.
