Chapter 97 Who Has Saved Him Back Then

Inside the banquet hall, Curtis was half-heartedly making small talk with government officials and wealthy businessmen from Yarfdale. Yet his mind kept circling back to the image of Chloe plunging into the sea to save the child. She had acted so swiftly, so decisively, without a second's hesitation. How many people possessed that kind of courage? He, too, had seen the child fall into the water and had the impulse to rush over. But if he had reached the shore in time, would he truly have jumped in, or would he have hesitated? When he pressed himself for an honest answer, he realized hesitation was far more likely. That realization unsettled him even more. Could Chloe really have been lying all this time? With her swimming skills and that kind of courage, if she had really seen him in the river, she would have jumped in to save him. But if she wasn't lying, then did that mean Sonya was the one who had lied? The thought made his hand tremble, nearly spilling the wine in his glass.
