PopularNovelChapter 857 Possibility of Assassination My stubbornness surged. This was the first tIvanna and I had disagreed.
"Do you know why I'm saying this?" I asked Ivanna, looking straight at her. "I'm not trying to please you. I think Jared and Trinity don't suit each other because they're too similar. There's no real love between them. It's more of a sense of understanding, a familial bond, or a sense of duty.
"So, I genuinely hope you and Jared make it to the end. I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart. I would say that even in front of Trinity." Ivanna looked at my face and lowered her gaze.

"I talked about this with Atlas once. He toldnot to dwell on it because everyone in this world has a love that belongs only to them. You only get a chance to encounter the right love if you part with the wrong one. That's why I advised you to wait." Lauren quickly interjected, "You should tone it down a bit, Chloe." Then she turned to Ivanna and continued to console her. "No matter what, Ivanna, what you said just now was really hurtful." We both fell silent. There was a mix of anger and awkwardness in the air.
After a while, I spoke again. "Since I becsworn sisters with Trinity, I've been trying to balance our relationship. I always reminded myself to try to remain rational about Jared's business. I tried not to let my emotions sway me, and I tried not to favor either of you. But Ivanna, I have to admit, my scale tilts more toward you." Lauren quickly tried to ease the tension. "Exactly, Ivanna. Don't overthink it. We're best friends, after all." I looked at her, helpless but sincere. "It might be because of the impression Trinity left onearlier, or maybe it was because of her actions toward you in the past. Perhaps I always felt that she was weaker compared to you." My heart was in turmoil. I thought about whether I should continue talking. I didn't know if Ivanna would sink deeper into misunderstanding if I did. Still, I felt that I needed to tell her all this, if only for my own peace of mind.
As I looked at her, she silently lowered her head. I took a deep breath and continued, "But... honestly, Ivanna, Trinity is not as glamorous and arrogant as she appears on the surface. She's helpless sometimes too.
"She also has a sensitive side. Everyone's vulnerable sometimes.
"Her father toldon the morning she disappeared that he wished his daughter could lead a normal life like any other girl. He hoped she could date, get married, and have children. But she's Trinity, heir to the Huffman family. She can't just do whatever she wants.
"She risked everything to make the Huffman family stronger. She didn't disappear. She deliberately left all the family guards behin she wanted to strengthen her authority over the old forces regain dominance, but... there was a possibility that she had been assassinated. So, I think Jared's actions were justifiable because he felt responsible." Ivanna looked up at me, her kindness and warmth evident. "Alright, enough. From now on, no one is allowed to say anything el hurts anyone else's feelings. No matter what happens, the three of us should be able to speak openly like this. We shouldn't hide our opinions, we shouldn't be suspicious of each other, and we should never betray each other.
Lauren looked at both of us and winked at me, conveying her message. I understood what she meant, of course.

After thinking for a moment, I walked up to Ivanna, sighed, and said, "Alright, it's tto eat. If you don't eat, you'll just waste Lauren's effort in bringing all this here for you. Besides, you need to take care of yourself. Kids need nutrition. We can talk more about this later."
She remained silent for a long tbefore reaching for the guttery and silently starting to eat. Just then, Atlas called. I glanced at my phone and casually declined the call.
Ivanna looked atand said, "You can go. I'm fine. I know I was wrong about you." I nearly cried at those words. My nose tingled as I looked at her with teary eyes.
Lauren also said, "You're busy. You should head back. I'll stay here with her."
"You stay here tonight, then. We'll take her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. I won't be able to rest easy otherwise. I turned to Vanna Stop overthinking this. We'll discuss it and handle everything together. It doesn't matter how long it takes. I will always be the Chloe you know. Nothing will change." "Okay. Just go back now." Ivanna softly agreed.
I quickly turned and walked out. As soon as I stepped outside, tears rolled down my cheeks.
