On the Day I Was Kicked Out of the Wealthy Family, I Had a Flash Marriage with a Tycoon-Chapter 106: Delivering a "Surprise

To Chloe Sterling’s surprise, Silas Coldwell didn’t call again.

Still, that was for the best.

After lunch, Chloe Sterling returned to the lab, ready to resume her experiments, when Wyatt Hank exclaimed, pointing out the window, "What is that?"

Maya Jacobs asked curiously, "What is it?" She ran over, then gasped in shock. "Holy crap! What’s going on?"

While the two of them were making a scene, Chloe Sterling calmly walked to her lab bench, not the least bit curious.

Then, they both looked over at her. Maya said, "Chloe, don’t you want to come take a look?"

"Look at what?"

Maya pointed out the window. "Outside. It looks like someone is professing their love to you."

Chloe Sterling’s expression froze. She hurried to the window, which had a clear view of the school’s entrance. The trunk of a Maybach was overflowing with roses, and a banner was stretched across the car. On it was written: "Chloe Sterling, I love you."

And the man in sunglasses standing beside it was none other than Silas Coldwell!

It was lunchtime, so plenty of people were passing by. Seeing the spectacle, they all stopped to watch curiously.

Chloe Sterling’s face darkened, and she immediately ran out of the lab.

A few minutes later, Chloe Sterling stood before Silas Coldwell and demanded in a low voice, "Are you out of your mind?"

Silas Coldwell just smiled, deliberately raising his voice. "Baby, do you like it? It’s a surprise I prepared just for you."

Chloe Sterling was speechless with frustration; it was all so over-the-top and cliché. Lowering her voice, she gritted her teeth. "Silas Coldwell, you need to leave. Right now!"

"Baby, don’t be angry. Last night was my fault. And I have another gift for you." As he spoke, Silas Coldwell took a small, exquisite box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a diamond ring the size of a pigeon’s egg.

A wave of gasps went through the crowd.

"Whoa! That diamond is huge!"

"Oh my god! Who is this rich guy? Is he trying to woo Chloe Sterling?"

"He must be her boyfriend. Weren’t they together last night? Obviously, Chloe Sterling got upset about something, and now he’s here with gifts to apologize."

"That guy is so tall, and even with sunglasses on, you can tell he’s handsome. Chloe Sterling is so lucky."

Silas Coldwell gave a roguish smile. "Baby, do you like it?"

Chloe Sterling’s beautiful eyes were filled with fury. She stared at him coldly and demanded, "What are you trying to do now?"

Silas Coldwell leaned in close, whispering in her ear, "Steal you away from Jasper Lockwood."

At first glance, it looked like the two were whispering intimately to each other.

Someone nearby took out their phone and snapped a picture of the scene.

Chloe Sterling shoved Silas Coldwell away, putting distance between them. In a low voice, she said, "Is this all you’ve got? You can’t beat him, so you’re coming after me instead?"

Silas Coldwell laughed. "No need to try and provoke me. It’s not like I just started wanting you yesterday. With or without him, I’d still be coming for you. You have to be mine."

Just then, a bodyguard walked up to the girl who had just taken the picture and said coldly, "Delete the photo."

The girl jumped in fright and immediately took out her phone to delete it.

Silas Coldwell looked over and said abruptly, "Wait. Bring me her phone."

The bodyguard snatched the phone directly from the girl’s hand and walked over to Silas Coldwell.

"What are you doing? Give me back my phone!" the girl yelled from behind, not daring to step forward.

The bodyguard handed the phone to Silas Coldwell. "Boss."

Silas Coldwell glanced at the photo on the phone. It looked as if he were kissing Chloe Sterling’s cheek, with a sea of red roses behind them. The composition was actually quite beautiful. He suddenly smiled. "Not bad. Send the photo to me, then delete it."

The bodyguard nodded. "Yes, sir."

The bodyguard transferred the photo to his own phone, deleted it completely from the girl’s device, and then returned it to her.

The girl snatched her phone back and ran off.

Seeing the man with his bodyguards acting so domineeringly, the crowd started whispering again.

"That guy is so overbearing."

"You can tell he’s rich. What rich man isn’t overbearing?"

"Not just rich, he’s super-rich. That watch on his wrist alone is worth over twenty million."

"Holy crap! Really? Isn’t Chloe Sterling from the countryside? How does she know so many rich people?"

"Well, she came to Crestfall, didn’t she? There are plenty of rich and powerful people in Crestfall."

Chloe Sterling spoke again. "Do you want me to poison you in front of all these people? Does the great President Coldwell not care about his reputation?"

Silas Coldwell’s lips curled into a smirk. His expression was roguish. "If you want everyone to see my face, know who I am, and know there’s a connection between us, go right ahead. I can do without the reputation."

Chloe Sterling choked with anger, fighting the urge to punch him.

Silas Coldwell deliberately raised his voice again. "Baby, I really know I was wrong. Whatever else you want, I’ll give it all to you."

Chloe Sterling’s beautiful eyes narrowed. Suddenly, she struck. A vicious fist flew toward Silas Coldwell’s face with a WHOOSH, but he reacted quickly, sidestepping to dodge. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Immediately after, Chloe Sterling aimed a kick at him. Silas Coldwell closed the ring box in his hand and dodged her attack again.

"Baby, are you really so angry you have to resort to violence?"

"Chloe." Just then, Julian Xavier suddenly walked over.

Chloe Sterling stopped and glanced over at him.

"What’s going on?"

Chloe Sterling shot a cold glare at Silas Coldwell before replying, "It’s nothing."

Julian Xavier glanced at the trunk full of roses, slightly puzzled. "And he is?"

’A suitor?’

Chloe Sterling said coldly, "One of my patients. He has some mental issues."

Julian Xavier: "..."

Silas Coldwell: "..."

The crowd: "..."

Julian Xavier looked at Silas Coldwell again. The man seemed somewhat familiar, but with the sunglasses on, he couldn’t immediately place him.

Silas Coldwell suddenly chuckled. "That’s right, I am sick. But you misremembered, baby. I’m lovesick." As he spoke, he stepped forward again and opened the ring box in his hand. "Want me to put it on for you?"

After a moment of silence, Chloe Sterling calmed down and said slowly, "If I were willing to wear a ring from you, I would have put it on a year ago. We don’t belong in the same world, and we will never be together. Stop doing these useless things."

She paused, then added deliberately, "Besides, I have a boyfriend. You know that."

Hearing this, Silas Coldwell’s handsome face instantly darkened. He hadn’t expected Chloe Sterling to publicly announce she had a boyfriend.

After a moment of silence, he gave a playful smile. "Isn’t your boyfriend me?"

Julian Xavier could see that Chloe Sterling didn’t like the man and truly wanted to keep her distance from him, so he said coldly, "Stop your wishful thinking and get out of here right now."

Silas Coldwell’s sharp gaze swept over him. His voice was icy. "And who the hell do you think you are?"

Julian Xavier’s eyes turned cold. "Chloe is my sister. I won’t allow anyone to harass her! If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for what happens next."

Silas Coldwell scoffed. "Oh? And what are *you* going to do about it?"

Julian Xavier’s fists clenched, and he was about to step forward when Chloe Sterling grabbed him. "Stay out of this."

Julian Xavier was no match for Silas Coldwell. More importantly, he couldn’t afford to clash with him—it would be bad for both the Xavier Family and The Medical College.
