NovelBarChloe and Connor hung out in Eldridge City for a couple more days before deciding it was tto head back to
Riverbrook. On their last evening there, they gathered for dinner at the old family home. Marian, with her usual
warmth, asked, "So, when are you two planning to tie the knot? I'd like to get a head start on the preparations!"
Connor replied, "As soon as we're back in Riverbrook, Chloe and | will get our marriage license. As for the
wedding, we'll wait until we're done with the resort project and back here in Eldridge City to celebrate."
This was something Connor and Chloe had talked over together. Connor was all for having a big wedding to
shout their love from the rooftops, but Chloe had her hesitations. The biggest question weighing on her mind was
whether or not to seek out her birth parents.
In the end, Chloe made up her mind. She decided to look into her past. She needed to know the truth. She
wanted to understand her identity, to see what her biological parents looked like, and to learn about the kind of
people they were. She also wondered about the child whose life got swapped with hers, and how they were
doing.

However, Chloe didn't necessarily want to disrupt their lives. She just wanted the truth. If they were happy and
content, Chloe had no plans to interfere.
The next day, Chloe and Connor headed back to Riverbrook, arriving around midday. They grabbed lunch at the
CN Tower. Afterward, Connor dove back into his work-being away had left him with a mountain of tasks to tackle.
Meanwhile, Chloe took a nap in his office lounge, then headed to the TV station.
Chloe still had one important thing to wrap up. When she got back to the station, everyone greeted her with
polite smiles.
"Chloe, welcback!"
"Chloe, congrats! Should we start calling you Mrs. Thorne?"
"Chloe, was that show scripted? It kept us all on edge!"
"Chloe, when's the big day? Don't forget to share swedding treats!"
Faced with a mix of friendly and slightly envious comments, Chloe just smiled and carried on. She returned to her
desk, booted up her computer, and typed up her
resignation letter. With that
In hand,
she made her way to Tony's office.
Tony greeted her with a broad grin. "Chloe, or should | say, Mrs. Thorne?"
Skipping the small talk, Chloe placed her resignation letter on Tony's desk. "Director, here's my resignation."
Tony's smile vanished as he glanced at the letter. "Chloe, what's this about? Why the sudden decision to leave? |
was planning to have you back as the prime-thost, and on top of that, | was thinking of

promoting you to Deputy Director of the editorial department. How does that sound?"
Tony tried to sweeten the deal with a smile, "I even set up a private office for you. It's just been renovated while
you were away. Let's go check it out!"
Of course, Tony didn't want Chloe to
leave. Her popularity was on par with top celebrities. The station had just gone public, and thanks to Chloe's
fame, the stock prices were soaring. Tony was concerned about the potential fallout from her departure.
But Chloe was resolute. "No need, Tony. I've made up my mind."
Chloe had found out that Tony was in Claire's camp. Plus, Riverbrook TV Station had been quietly taken over by
Eldridge Entertainment and was entirely under Claire's watchful eye. It was clear she couldn't stay there any
longer. Besides, Chloe hadn't been happy at the station for over a year. Leaving was always on the cards, and
now was just the right tto make the move.
