Elly is pleased for Chloe over the exciting job opportunity, but her mood turns sour when Chloe reveals that she's planning to ask Pierce to marry her at the long-awaited Melbourne Cup event.

When Elly doesn't take the news well, new tensions develop between her and Chloe and they leave the conversation on bad terms.

The following day, Chloe tries to focus on the Cup party, although her argument with Elly has left her full of doubt over her plans.

...
As Chloe wonders how Hendrix will take it, will the new family's happiness be over before it even begins?
Ha, what.
The value of Elly's input should be zero. Just like when Harlow was planning to tell Elly about Roxy and Mark. Who cares what she thinks.
Also, what could Hendrix say? So far he's been portrayed as so self-centred and thoughtless that what might happen 20-30yrs from now probably wouldn't even be a consideration. Is it going to be about any inheritance?
