Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

Chapter 186 - Ch. 186 Max's Worries

Chleo returned to college as usual and was still an intern at Daphnia Fashion. Because yesterday's gala show was a huge success and Max was the chairman, the company made an exception for Chleo. Chleo could come to work whenever she wanted when she didn't have school hours.

Everyone who was once struck with envy and jealousy now often came to say hello to Chleo and be friendly with her.

Chleo was a bit confused by their change of heart but still greeted them politely. She felt like she had returned to the old school days where many people approached her and were friendly to her because she was the beloved daughter of Vincentius Regnz.

She wasn't Chleora Regnz this time, but she was the lover of the chairman. Worse yet, rumors had it that Chleo was the future lady of the chairman. So it's no wonder they now curry favor to Chleo.

It was true that Maximillian had expressed his intention to marry her, but he had not formally proposed to her. And getting married?? She was twenty years old, for God's sake. Even her mother married at twenty-seven. How can she marry much younger than her mother?

Fortunately, no one butter up to Chleo because they didn't know that Chleo was in a relationship with the Daphnia's chairman.

Even if they knew it, the friends who used to be jealous of her probably wouldn't care either. In their eyes, Daphnia Fashion was not a great company compared to other big fashion companies such as those under the Flex Enterprise and Mercure corp.

How about Ashley?

As expected, the girl no longer bothered Chleo. That annoying girl didn't even appear in her department building.

Chleo remembered Diego telling her that it wasn't humans who kidnapped her in Washington. But she felt that Ashley, who came to her at that time, was the mastermind behind her kidnapping. She told her suspicion on Max, and together with Diego, they investigated Ashley.

The girl admitted that she was the one who paid someone to lock Chleo in some room. She even apologized and was willing to take the punishment if Chleo wanted to sue her. But she knew nothing about Chleo's disappearance and was in New York in such a short time.

Chleo was too kind and decided to forget about it, so she no longer sued Ashley. Moreover, Ashley acknowledged it and apologized to her. Also, the culprit who brought her to New York wasn't Ashley, so Chleo wanted to end this case.

On the other hand, Diego's Miyu helper hacked Ashley's phone and found an unexpected video.

"I was sure it wasn't her. So it turned out to be Ashley Grey? Do you think she is also a chosen child?" Diego asked Yuna's Vectis whether Ashley had Vectis with her.

"I doubt it. The person who sent the video was untraceable, while the lady's henchmen had disappeared. If that woman were a blessing child, her Vectis would remove all CCTV evidence and this video. She wouldn't even let her be taken to the police station for questioning."

"That makes sense. Then, why would she have a video of Chleo on the rooftop? Who shot this video from above?"

There is only one answer.

Vectis.

"I hope Ashley Grey is a blessing child. Otherwise, the Vectis we're about to face is both cunning and terrifying. He used another human to become a scapegoat for his target's death."

Diego's jaw tightened at this and then glanced to his side where Max was standing facing his office window. Diego couldn't see the man's expression, but he could feel a chilling cold around him.

Max was currently in a particularly tough struggle. The memory of his past and the memory of Chleo, who would return within this year, made him quite depressed. Not to mention he was reminded of the warning from his dream.

Someone was aiming for Chleo on purpose. No. Someone is aiming for anyone who has the life energy of the ruler of nature. Then what about Kinsey and their two children? Aren't they fine?

Just as Max was thinking about Chleo's cousin, Diego received shocking news from his younger cousin, Melodie.

"What? Kendrich fell down the stairs? How could that be? Is your father there?... Alright, I'll go to the hospital with you, okay?" After saying goodbye to Max briefly, Diego immediately ran to the hospital.

Vectis didn't follow Diego and just stood there staring at Max's back, who still hadn't budged from where he was standing.

"Your memory has returned. I can smell your guilt."

Max smirked at that. "Are you going to punish me?"

Vectis stared at his hands which were still clean without any electricity. "My powers are inactive. It looks like you've managed to atone for all your sins by giving Miss Chleora a better life."

Max only responded with a faint smile. "If I did redeem it, can I ask a favor? Can you make her not remember it?"

"..."

Maximillian was scared. He was afraid that Chleo would leave him once she got her memories back. At first, he didn't feel fearful like this. Even when he was with little Chleo, he was mentally prepared.

But… after tasting how she looked at him as if there was no other man, how she got clingy to him made him unwilling that she would change.

After all, the memories of the past that Chleora Regnz had endured for twenty-six years would significantly impact the current Chleo.

Will the girl still look at him like now? Or will she still prioritize Alexis over him?

"Just forget it. I know you can't do it."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Maybe… I'm afraid I'll repeat the same mistake."

Vectis frowned at that answer. Does that mean the blue king will threaten Chleo again?

When will he finally be able to see Chleo's true feelings?

Before Chleo met Alexis that day, Chleo had already fallen in love with Axel, but that blind-hearted man decided to leave her life without saying anything by proposing a divorce.

Vectis said nothing more and decided to go back to his master's side. The couple's affair was not his business.
