The flurry of damning questions left Chloe speechless on the spot. The only person besides Joseph who had given her a bank card was Icarus. She quickly reached a conclusion—the surveillance footage from the neighborhood had been leaked online.

The room seemed to grow colder, the atmosphere thick with Joseph’s unspoken anger that hung heavy in the air. Chloe could sense a raging flame manifesting without even lifting her head.

"Jojo, wait, please let me explain..."

Joseph remained expressionless as he demanded, "Hand over your purse."

Instinctively, Chloe protected her bag behind her and spoke in a soft tone. "I can explain everything, or we can call Icarus and ask him about what happened..."

Joseph observed her defensive actions, his eyebrows furrowing and his eyes narrowing. Without uttering a word, he forcefully snatched her bag and began rummaging through it until his hand seized hold of an unfamiliar bank card. His sharp eyes lowered, masking his emotions. His voice, now tinge

    "I found the friend of the man in the footage. He’s one of the homeowners of this neighborhood. I went to see him, but he had already deleted the video…""Tsk."Since Xavia had achieved her goal, it did not matter if the video was deleted. Lowering her head, she said nervously, "My emotions got the better of me when I watched the video yesterday, and I unjustly accused Ms. Chloe. Joe, is Ms. Chloe at home right now? I want to apologize to her."Joseph's jaw tightened, his expression cold as he sneered. "No need to apologize. Didn't she hit the dogs? Did she not lie? What's done can't be undone. Since she made a mistake, she needs to be punished."After briefly pausing, Xavia agreed with Joseph, "You're right. Lying isn't about the size of the problem but about one's fundamental attitude."Upon hearing her words, Joseph's gaze darkened, his countenance subtly changing with a chilling aura. "Please see yourself out. I want to be alone for a while."Xavia nodded silently and reminde

    Joseph's brow furrowed, his voice laced with frustration as he asked, "I’ve already decided to forgive you, so what trouble are you stirring up again?"Upon hearing the word "again," Chloe chuckled. She turned around, her eyes shining brightly as they locked onto Joseph. "What do you mean, 'again?’ What did I do? Did I cheat on you or commit some unforgivable sin?"The accusing tone in her voice did not sit well with Joseph, and his expression grew icy. "You lied and still think you did nothing wrong?""Have you ever thought about why I lied?" Joseph was stunned. Before he could say anything, Chloe pressed on. "That's because I knew that even if I had told you that I ran into Icarus, you’d still be suspicious and angry. Speaking the truth or not would lead to the same outcome, so why bother?""Even though nothing happened between you and Icarus this time, you shouldn't talk to him since you know he has a thing for you!""So, now I can't even talk to someone of the opposite sex?!

    The security guard's eyes widened, displaying a perplexed expression as he struggled to comprehend the situation. Meanwhile, Joseph expertly maneuvered the steering wheel, moving the car into the parking lot."What were you thinking, Joseph? Why did you reveal our relationship to the guard?" Chloe asked, her voice raised and bristled like an enraged cat. She could not understand Joseph's reasoning behind his actions.Maintaining an air of nonchalance, Joseph casually responded, "Isn’t that what you wanted me to do?""I wanted you to hurry up and leave so that the guard wouldn't figure out our relationship!"He shrugged, pretending innocence. "I must’ve misinterpreted your intention."Chloe knew Joseph had done it deliberately, but she lacked evidence to prove her suspicion. "Never speak out of turn like that again in the future," she said.Observing her indignant expression, Joseph swelled with a sense of satisfaction. "It depends on my mood."*As Chloe made her way to her cub

    Calvin felt incredibly awkward, not knowing how to handle the situation. His square face turned red with embarrassment.On the other hand, Joseph had distanced himself from the family business long ago, opting to pursue ventures abroad. Despite his rebellious and detached demeanor, he possessed an exceptional aptitude for strategy and leadership, devoid of the typical deception often associated with businessmen. Recognizing these qualities, Harold held his grandson in high regard.However, Harold understood that bestowing the family business upon Joseph would be a narrow-minded decision, so he allowed Joseph to carve his own path and prove himself independently over the years. This decision did not sit well with the Whitmans' core members, who harbored a deep-rooted desire to keep Joseph overseas, fearing he would snatch away the opportunities they held.Given this environment, it was only natural that nobody made a deliberate effort to unveil Joseph's familial background prematurel

    Diego followed Joseph's gaze and was overcome by embarrassment. His daughter paled in comparison to the stunning young lady before him. His daughter was always indulging in food, lacking in the grace and elegance that this young lady exuded.His daughter’s figure was far from slender, and her features could not compare to the exquisite beauty of the young lady.Diego did not press the matter further. His main objective was to strike a deal in private and secure an investment from Joseph. After all, with Joseph being in the financial industry, he was confident that money was never a concern for Joseph."Mr. Joseph, are you interested in the seafood business? I have something else in mind that I'd like to discuss with you. It's guaranteed to be profitable," Diego proposed."I'm not particularly interested in the seafood business," Joseph replied nonchalantly, "But if you're looking for a suitable match for your daughter within the Whitmans, I wouldn't mind helping with the matchmakin

    Octavia glared at him fiercely. "How dare you speak that way to me. I'm your aunt!"Jonathan joined in the confrontation, his voice filled with aggression. "Joe, my mother is only looking out for your best interests. How could you support a stranger?""If Chloe’s a stranger, doesn't that mean that your mother is also a stranger?" Joseph retorted calmly, leaving Jonathan momentarily speechless.Realizing that engaging in further argument would be futile, Octavia took a deep breath and changed the topic. "Enough of this discussion. Since you’ve chosen her despite our concerns, there’s nothing more to be said. You live your own life. However, we’d appreciate knowing some basic information about her."Joseph maintained a composed smile as he stood by Chloe's side.Unaffected by the tension, Chloe greeted Octavia respectfully, her voice filled with sweetness. "Nice to meet you, Aunt Tavia."Octavia found some solace in Chloe's respectful demeanor and her frustration was momentarily su

    After receiving a stern reprimand from Harold, Preston emerged from the room wearing a crestfallen expression, his lips sealed in silence.Jonathan quickly approached Preston, eagerly inquiring about the outcome. "Father, how did it go? Did Grandfather make any mention of expelling that woman?"With an air of self-satisfaction, Octavia chimed in, "That's right, honey. At his age, he surely wouldn't lose sight of what's important, right?""Ahem!" Before Preston could speak, Harold descended from upstairs. His eyes, clouded yet piercing, resonated with authority as he asked, "Have I ever lost sight of what's important?"Octavia chuckled awkwardly. "Dad, you’ve misunderstood. I didn't say anything..."Under Harold’s intimidating presence, Preston took a deep breath and announced, "From now on, Chloe is a member of our family."Jonathan was stunned. He did not know what kind of magic Chloe had cast on Harold to make him so protective of her. Unwilling to accept it, he questioned, "Gr

    Furthermore, Chloe discovered herself nestled in the curve of his arm, her legs draping over his well-defined waist.Joseph's brow relaxed as he slept peacefully, unaware of the world around him. Such a sight carried an inexplicable sense of harmony.Concerned about arousing Joseph's anger, Chloe gingerly maneuvered herself out of his embrace, lifting the covers and tiptoeing to the bathroom.Soon after, Joseph woke up, and upon discovering her absence from his embrace, a surge of emptiness engulfed him, prompting a deep frown of discontent to etch across his forehead. He rose from the bed and passed by the bathroom, where the sound of rushing water reached his ears.A restless unease tugged at him, causing him to fidget with his collar.*After freshening up, Chloe and Joseph made their way downstairs to the first floor of the house.On the first floor, Preston and his family were seated on the couch, engrossed in watching television. Several other relatives were also present,

    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

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
