Chloe let out a bitter smile. "Well, I knew Joseph was rich, but I didn't expect him to be the CEO of Fairlight.""Hmm, I understand how you feel."It was just as Lucas expected. It was like a massive pie falling from the sky, making one question the reality of it all.*Of course, Chloe had no idea what was going through Lucas' mind. She walked to the custodial department and politely knocked on the door three times.Soon, a middle-aged woman wearing a cleaner’s uniform opened the door, looking puzzled. "Do you need something?""Madam, I'm the new staff."“It's you." The cleaner hesitated for a moment before letting her in. "I thought it would be an oldie coming by, but turns out you’re a young girl. Strange...""I made a mistake. My superior is angry with me, so he’s punishing me by making me work here for a few days," Chloe explained meekly as she changed into her work uniform. "Madam, which area am I responsible for?"Even though she was sent here as a punishment, she was
Chloe was caught off guard by the sudden slap. As her cheek stung and turned red, she regained focus and recognized the man in front of her.She mustered up a fearless smile and retorted, "Is this all you've got? Leave and prepare yourself for the notice of trial.""Notice of trial? What do you mean?""I'll fight you in court for Mother’s inheritance. I won't give either of you a single penny," Chloe said, her voice choked with emotion at the mention of her mother. "You don't deserve any of it!"Having gone through numerous trials, Chloe had transformed into a different person. Gone was the little girl who longed for her father's affection. She had seen through the cold-heartedness of the man standing in front of her. Her mother had given him her everything, including her own life, yet he did not cherish it.Therefore, she would no longer naively seek his solace or care.A pang of unease reverberated through Benjamin's chest. He had grown accustomed to Chloe's submissive nature,
Chloe paused, momentarily taken aback. Despite her curiosity about her maternal grandparents, she remained cautious and asked, "Are you saying you know who they are?"‘Mom never mentioned anything about her parents, so how does he know?'"If you want to find them, go talk to Alexander," he replied.With a smug expression, Benjamin led Ava away from the convenience store. As they stepped outside, Ava asked in confusion, "Daddy, do you really know about Coco’s maternal grandparents?""When her mother married me, she cut ties with her family, but I know how to find them," Benjamin said as he gazed at the diamond necklace she was wearing. "Take this necklace and go to Jade Street in the southern part of the city. You'll find them there.”These were the words Chloe’s late mother had entrusted to Benjamin, who had instructed him to wait until Chloe reached adulthood before revealing the truth.Ava was surprised. "Are they in the jewelry business? Wouldn't that mean they’re quite wealth
Chloe covered her face in embarrassment, gritting her teeth as she complained inwardly, 'What’s wrong with this guy? He's so insensitive. It's one thing to not show any concern, but why would he add insult to injury by comparing my face to a pig's right now?'Joseph entered his study and closed the door before dialing Samuel's number.Samuel found it unusual to receive a call from Joseph, and thus, immediately put down the files in his hand to answer. "Hey, what's the matter?""Can we expedite the court hearing for Chloe's case?" Joseph got straight to the point without wasting any words.A complex expression flashed across Samuel's face. "This is the reason you called me?""Yeah.""You haven’t fallen for her, have you?"Joseph was taken aback for a moment. He instinctively denied, "I just want to help her."Samuel fell into silence, contemplating the situation. His close friend was undoubtedly a business genius, yet when it came to matters of love, he was quite clueless. Unbek
A chill ran down Chloe's spine as she touched her nose and replied, "Well, my words may sound a bit exaggerated, but my feelings toward Fairlight are genuine."Joseph chuckled dismissively, his demeanor nonchalant as he made his way upstairs.‘Genuine feelings toward Fairlight? Shouldn't it be directed at me instead? This dumbo has been so eager to find her way into my bed, and now with these increased chances of meeting, I'm certain she's absolutely delighted.'He had encountered many women like Chloe, but he did not find her repulsive. If she behaved obediently and played her cards right, there was a possibility of her becoming his true wife.*After taking a shower, Chloe received a call from Emily."So, when are you planning to move out? My colleague has a house for rent, and it's close to my place. You could even stay at mine if you like. My boyfriend won't be around," Emily suggested.Chloe hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I've decided to stay here for now and no
After a brief pause, Adam said rather shyly, "I wasn't aware that you were acquainted with Mr. Joseph and wanted to flirt with you when I saw how pretty you were. Of course, I don't dare to treat you that way now that I know."Joseph prohibited him from doing so, let alone his father.Hearing that, complicated feelings washed over Chloe. She had unspeakable feelings.She made the right guess. As expected, it was because of Joseph.*After Adam hung up the call, he quickly sent Chloe a bunch of screenshots of his conversation with Ava. Although Ava appeared gentle and virtuous on the surface, she had sent such explicit messages to Adam.Chloe pitied Jake when she saw the extent to which Ava had cheated on him. She just happened to spot Ava and Adam when they hooked up. There might be a lot of other men Ava had hooked up with without Chloe's knowledge.After she finished reading the final chat log, Adam sent her a contact number. [This guy’s an entertainment news reporter. Sis, yo
After a while, Joseph finally looked up from his computer screen and absent-mindedly picked up the document to read.He smoothly signed his name at the end of the document with steady penmanship."There's no problem. It can be carried out."Chloe nodded and retrieved the document before she replied properly, "Okay, I'll be going now, sir."However, a strong force opened the door before she reached it.A domineering and attractive woman was standing outside. She strutted into the office in her high heels.The woman was meticulous in her attire. Her clothes were customized designs by famous designers, so they were very expensive.There were four strong and muscular bodyguards behind her. At a glance, it could be seen that they were well-trained.Chloe was frightened and hastily took a step back."Joseph, your grandfather told me that you're married!" Jane Fox stared at Joseph in disbelief and evident sadness. "Say it isn’t true."Joseph's black eyes turned ice-cold as he said,
"Shut up, b*tch!"Jane was fuming with so much anger that her body shook. She would have slapped Chloe if Joseph was not hugging Chloe in his arms.Joseph stared at Jane and frowned. "Watch your tongue. My wife is right.""Do you want to spoil her so?""Is there a problem with me spoiling my wife?"As a result, Jane found it hard to breathe. She glared at Chloe with envy. "What kind of evil means did you use to seduce Joseph?"Jane had liked Joseph since childhood. Although he did not reciprocate her feelings, he treated her nicely because of the relationship between their families.This was the first time he was defending someone so openly.Chloe tilted her head. Not angered in the slightest, she ruminated over the matter seriously. "I didn't use any evil means. I simply asked Jojo for his number, and he decided to marry me. He probably fell in love with me at first sight."'That's true, isn't it?'I did hit on him, but I only did it once. He was the one who suggested we get
