Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 170 Dumbo’s Restraint With Her Love
Joseph paused, his thin lips pressed together tightly. "I don't need you to do this.""I understand, but I want to do something for you," she replied. If Chloe had the chance to assist the Whitmans, she would seize it.A myriad of emotions swirled in Joseph's eyes as he tightened his grip on her shoulder.Confronted with his daughter's future, Richard's face paled, and he ultimately relented. In the grand scheme of things, what worth did money hold compared to his daughter's future?*After discussing it with Joseph, Chloe made the decision not to inform Harold about the incident. Considering his heart condition, she felt it best to spare him the added stress."Before anything else, let's head to the hospital to avoid you getting a fever.""Okay, I've been feeling hot then cold. I don’t feel so good." Chloe sneezed and sensed a heaviness in her head.Joseph glanced at her, noting the abnormal flush on her typically pale face. Her voice sounded hoarse, a clear sign of a cold com
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 171 Xavia's Letter
Chloe slept through the evening and woke up in a daze, finding a nurse attending to her hand."Your fever hasn't subsided, so we'll continue with the IV drip. You'll need to stay in the hospital for observation today, so you can't be discharged yet," the nurse informed her."What's my temperature?" Chloe asked."102.2," Emily replied, tucking in the blanket around Chloe. "You should focus on resting in the upcoming days and avoid exerting yourself.""But what about work? And Joseph's birthday? Also, the hearing is coming up in another two days…" Chloe voiced her concerns."Joseph is the CEO of Fairlight, so why worry about work? Besides, his birthday isn't a one-time event. You'll have an opportunity to make it up to him later. I've already delivered the gift on your behalf. As for the court hearing, it's still some time away. You should be feeling better by then," Emily reassured her."You're right... By the way, where's Joseph?""He had some business to attend to and just left
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 172 The Return of His First Love
Chloe could not help but admit that Xavia's handwriting was beautiful.She placed the envelope on the table and took a photo of it to send to Joseph.In the afternoon, Joseph replied, [Got it.]Chloe felt a bit puzzled. Was he not supposed to be more enthusiastic about Xavia's return?Anyway, it did not really matter to Chloe. After all, their contract would eventually end, and their separation was inevitable. Who Xavia was and who Joseph would be with in the future had nothing to do with her.However, a subtle sadness lingered within her. It was only natural to develop feelings for someone after spending so much time together, just like the bond she shared with Toto.*Joseph arrived home earlier than Chloe expected. However, he was not alone.Samuel had come by as well."Joe, you should’ve been more considerate! How can you secretly celebrate your birthday? Let's call our friends and let's have a great time together," Samuel exclaimed."Shut up," Joseph replied, shooting a
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 173 I Have No Objection
His simple black loungewear outlined his perfect physique, while his face possessed a refined and exquisite charm.Sensing her gaze, Joseph turned his head and their eyes locked. Enveloped in an enigmatic trance, Chloe felt herself descending into the depths of his alluring, obsidian gaze.Her eyes flickered, and she awkwardly averted her gaze. "Do you think Miles will resent you?""What can he do if he is? Will he dare to challenge me?" Joseph scoffed arrogantly.Chloe clicked her tongue, but deep down, she knew Miles would not dare say anything. She was just worried he might resort to dirty tricks behind their backs."With this agreement and the assets and jewelry records retrieved by Benjamin from the bank, we'll secure victory tomorrow. However, if he tries to play the emotional card with you, just ignore him," Samuel advised.Finding evidence for this case was not the most difficult part. The true challenge lay in Chloe and Benjamin’s father-daughter relationship."Don't wo
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 174 I’ll Help You Protect Her
"I never said that, Your Honor! Please don't listen to him!" Ava shouted in desperation.The judge's gaze fell upon Ava, his scrutiny piercing. "So, are you resolved to fight Ms. Chloe for her late mother's legacy? From what I understand, you and Chloe are half-sisters sharing the same father. Since these assets were bequeathed by Chloe's biological mother, you have no entitlement to lay claim to them."The judge's words cut through the air, leaving Ava pale and flustered. She struggled to explain, "That's not what I meant... I merely wanted to speak on behalf of my father.""You'll have your chance to speak, but for now, please remain quiet," the judge instructed firmly.Turning his attention to Benjamin, the judge asked, "Defendant, it's your turn to speak. State your demands.""I seek to reclaim a portion of these assets, as they are jointly owned by my wife and me," Benjamin stated, sensing a glimmer of hope as he noticed the judge's contemplative expression.Thankfully, he h
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 175 Did Joseph Bully You?
As soon as those words were uttered, a heavy silence engulfed the room.The mere possibility of being sued by Samuel and the looming threat of losing everything cast a palpable unease over everyone present.Ava's body went rigid, her once radiant face now drained of color. She swiftly realized the folly of her words and attempted to rectify the situation."I never said such words to Gideon, and our demands were completely different. Therefore, I have a valid reason to harbor suspicions," she hurriedly explained, seeking to clarify her stance."You have the right to be suspicious, but you must provide evidence," the judge acknowledged her statement with a nod."I…I don't have any evidence."In a fit of anger, Benjamin pounded his fist on the table and yelled at Chloe, "Do you have to tarnish our family's reputation just for the sake of money?"Chloe sneered contemptuously in response, "How could you shift the blame onto me? It has always been you who schemed to seize the assets M
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 176 Do You Know What I’m Going to Do?
"No," Chloe replied."Okay, let me rephrase the question. Did Joseph have something to do with you falling into the water?" Icarus persisted.The question threw Chloe for a loop. She was unsure of how to respond, so she said, "Please stop asking. He didn't expect such a thing to happen either. It's not his fault."It was Jane who had gone too far. However, Icarus misunderstood Chloe's words and thought she was covering up for Joseph. His brow furrowed even deeper as he continued, "Chloe, listen to me. You need to leave him. I'll help take care of any debts you owe him. I don't want to see you treated unfairly.""No, you listen to me. If you help me, yes, I may no longer owe Joseph, but I'll owe you instead.""But you don't have to pay me back. I just want you to have a better life."Chloe hesitated, locking eyes with him as he stared intensely at her. A feeling of discomfort washed over her, causing her to avert her gaze. "Don't invest your time in me. We can’t be together."She
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 177 Do You Take Me for a Fool?
Lucas, who was sitting in the front row, spoke up at the opportune moment, "Sir, shall I wait for you downstairs?"He did not want to be the third wheel and disturb their intimate moment. Besides, if they had a baby, he could take a break from his job!"Are you sure you want to do it in the car?" Chloe asked hesitantly.'Is he in the mood for intimacy because spring is here?'"What kind of dirty thoughts are filling your minds?" Joseph asked, letting out a humorless laugh."Huh?"'Isn't he suggesting something intimate?'"You talked to another man behind my back, and I'm going to punish you for it.""We were just having a normal conversation!""Don't argue with me."Samuel was clearly trying to warn Joseph earlier. Chloe's refusal to admit her wrongdoing only fueled Joseph's anger, and the air inside the car turned chillingly cold despite that the air conditioning was off.Shivering from the chill, Chloe bit her lip and tried to ignore Lucas' presence.Seizing the lead, Chl

Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1132 Noah Sullivan
After Chloe calmed herself, she realized that the place she was in resembled the villa she lived in while overseas five years ago. However, upon closer inspection, the exterior scenery was different. She realized something and froze."Did you build a villa identical to the one I stayed in five years ago?" she asked.Noah was busy bandaging himself. Upon hearing her question, he replied, "Yeah, doesn't it look almost identical?"Chloe's gaze swept over every item in the room, and she admitted that she was touched. She turned back to Noah and looked at him gently as if she had returned to the time when she simply treated him as a little brother."How did you convince Tiffany to cooperate with you?"Tiffany had made her move while Noah distracted Desmond."I just told her about it, and she agreed."Chloe asked, "Do you think you’re treating her fairly?"Noah said flatly, "I’ll compensate her."Compensate? How? Chloe thought that youth was the most precious thing in the world, but
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1131 You Bastard! Where Did You Take Chloe?!
In the Whitman family home, Joseph went to deal with a bunch of urgent company matters after putting Jasper to sleep. By the time he finished, it was already past three in the morning. He contemplated calling Chloe to ask about Noah's situation, but thinking it might disrupt her sleep, he abandoned the idea.When Joseph woke up the next day, it was already half past six. He recalled Chloe mentioning that Exotic Star had a new product launching today and that she would have to wake up early. He reached for his phone on the table, intending to call her.However, his hand slipped and the phone fell to the floor. The loud thud caused his heart to tremble. He stared at the shattered phone screen as he got a bad feeling. He grabbed his spare phone and quickly dialed Chloe's number. After ringing for some time, a cold, mechanical voice informed him that there was no one available to answer at the moment. Without hesitation, he immediately headed to the Sullivan Manor. When Joseph got ther
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1130 Last Wish
“Yes, Grandpa, and I hope you won't stop me when the time comes," Noah said. "You're not discussing this with me. You're just informing me!" Desmond said exasperatedly. "I'm sorry, Grandpa.”Desmond hemmed and hawed for a long while, at a loss for words. He seemed to age ten years as he stared into the distance through the window. After a while, he said, "I've already had someone contact doctors abroad regarding your condition, so don't worry. All you have to do now is just focus on recovering. Don't give up so soon."Sensing Desmond's determination, Noah's eyes filled with tears. He too wished to spend a few more years with his grandfather.When they arrived at the Sullivan manor, the foreign doctors had replied. Upon learning that the renowned healer, Z, had treated Noah but only achieved limited success, they decided not to intervene.Noah was not discouraged by this. He comforted Desmond and said, "Grandpa, I would like to go abroad for a few days. It's been a long time sin
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1129 My Heart Is Suitable for Her
Half an hour later, Desmond and Noah walked out of the ward together.Desmond said, "The doctor told you to stay in the hospital for a few more days, so why don't you just listen? If something happens to you again, they can treat you immediately."Noah smiled warmly and said, "It's okay. The medical equipment at home is sufficient."Desmond sighed. It would be good if Noah stayed at home as well. At least there would be more pairs of eyes on him.Desmond instructed the driver to come to the hospital’s basement car park. When he hung up the phone, he looked around the corridor and wondered, "Wasn't Chloe just sitting here? Where is she?"Noah did not say anything and just lowered his head."And where's Tiffany too? Call her. We need to go home," Desmond said as he took his phone out to call Chloe.However, Chloe did not answer his call. Noah did not call Tiffany. Instead, he said, "Her brother had something to discuss with her, so he came by and brought her home. Maybe Chloe ha
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1128 Please Don’t Blame Me, I Have No Choice
Chloe looked at Tiffany and said sarcastically, "Not everyone is willing to contribute their entire life knowing that the other person doesn't like them."Tiffany had a heart problem. She might die at any moment, yet she chose to live around someone who did not love her back. Chloe often marveled at the greatness of love, but she would never possess such a sacrificial spirit.Tiffany laughed coldly. "It’s because I have compassion and you don't. When Xavia died before your eyes, you just coldly stared at her body."Chloe raised her head sharply, glared at Tiffany, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Xavia took my child, stole my man, and wrecked my marriage! She nearly got me killed several times! If she hadn’t died, it might have been me! I should've celebrated her death with fireworks! None of you know what I've been through, so stop pointing fingers at me!"At first, she had felt responsible for Xavia's death, but she had since come to her senses. Xavia's death had nothing to
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1127 For the Remainder of Your Life
Desmond was taken aback that he even forgot his cane and almost tripped on the carpet. He quickly got back up and headed for the second floor. The butler immediately called for an ambulance while the other housekeepers guided the panicked guests away.Chloe furrowed her brows, following Desmond into Noah's bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, blocking out all light. But just standing at the door, one could detect the strong scent of rust from inside.A helper flipped a switch, and the room was flooded with light. The wooden furniture was neatly arranged while neatly folded clothes sat on the sofa.Chloe looked around but did not see Noah. She then looked toward the bathroom and her face sank.Tiffany pointed to the bathroom and said, "He's in there."Desmond trembled as he pushed open the bathroom door. Inside was a mess, with red stains covering the floor. Noah was in the bathtub, his wet clothes clinging to his body. His arms hung limply over the tub's edge, and his head sl
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1126 The Living Grief for the Dead
Chloe did not know how to answer."Say something. You wanted her dead, right? Are you happy now that she is dead?!” Kenneth shouted angrily at her, his eyes bloodshot and his gaze piercing.He was so loud that it drew the attention of many nearby. Callum and Joseph rushed over, and Joseph shielded Chloe behind him. He pushed Kenneth back several steps and said sternly, "Never speak of that woman in front of Chloe again. Otherwise, there'll be consequences!""Hah! Are you protecting a murderer?" Kenneth laughed. "Oh yeah, you’re both responsible for Xavia's death after all."Smack!Callum slapped Kenneth across the face, instantly silencing him. "Get a grip, Ken! Xavia deserved to die. Stop embarrassing yourself in front of Chloe.”Kenneth held his face as he muttered, "Yeah, you're right… Xavia should’ve died. She was evil. She deceived and took advantage of me… She should die..."Then why was he so tormented over her death? He could not sleep or eat. He knew Xavia deserved th
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1125 My Child Is Motherless
Joseph frowned. "Of course not. Her death has nothing to do with you. Promise me you won’t think such thoughts."The unexpected turn of events caught both Chloe and him off guard. Xavia clearly wanted to haunt Chloe forever by killing herself in front of her. Although he felt shocked, he was not deeply shaken. After all, he had not witnessed Xavia's jump, and Xavia probably thought that the third floor was not enough to kill her. After all, being in the hospital for treatment was better than being detained by the police.Chloe looked at Joseph with vacant eyes and smiled bitterly. "You're right. It’s good that she's finally dead. She got what she deserved, and I should be happy," she said."Exactly. Even if she didn't jump, the police would’ve arrested her," Joseph said gently, "It's my fault for asking you to buy us some time. If she comes back as a ghost to haunt you, I'll stop her."Joseph, Tyson, and a few officers had arrived just moments after Xavia jumped. He had brought a g
Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love Chapter 1124 A Defense Mechanism
Everyone erupted into gasps. As a deafening crash came from below, the staff scattered. Some ran downstairs to try and rescue Iris. Some who had rushed to the windows shouted anxiously, "She's still alive!"Everyone around Chloe was running as her mind was filled with an endless ringing. The whole world became a blur. She never imagined that things would end like this. The meeting hall was on the third floor. It was not too high, but it could be fatal if one were to land on their head. Everyone's accusatory gaze fell on Chloe, and the crowd started to murmur."Damn, how could she do this to Iris? Do you think she’ll be haunted by nightmares tonight?""Yeah, why does she insist that Iris is Xavia?""What if Iris dies? Won’t Ms. Chloe indirectly become a murderer?""Do you think Iris will come for revenge in the middle of the night when she dies?"Something inside Chloe snapped, and she shouted, "It wasn't me! What she did has nothing to do with me!"Her outburst silenced the ro
