A little taken aback, Chloe asked, "You saw everything?"

However, Joseph answered in a non-committal tone, "What did I see?"

"The person I met at the cafe…"

'That sc*mbag is your nephew!'

Joseph was silent for a while and said, "Nope. I didn't see anything."

He had only seen her standing on the street looking lost and dejected.

Chloe stared into Joseph’s eyes and realized that he was not lying. He really had not seen Jake or Ava, leaving her slightly disappointed.

Joseph thought she did not want to talk about the subject so he did not press any further. The journey home was silent. After Chloe wished him good night, she went to her room to sleep.

As Joseph watched her disappear up the stairs with a pensive expression on her face, he murmured, "Good night…"

Chloe, still seething in anger, did not notice what Joseph said and went straight into her room.

Upon coming downstairs the next day, a look of surprise spread across Joseph's face when he saw a lunchbox out on the table. C

    "No, I was here for a job interview," replied Chloe."You had a job interview with the Baxons?""Yeah," Chloe confirmed."How did it go? Did it go smoothly?" Icarus inquired."No." Chloe shrugged as she sighed dejectly. "It's difficult to find a job these days."Icarus gestured toward her resume. "May I have a look?""Sure," she replied, handing it over.After reading through her resume, Icarus remarked, "Objectively speaking, you are indeed outstanding among your peers.""And subjectively?" asked Chloe as she fixed her gaze on Icarus."Subjectively, in my opinion, you're extraordinary," Icarus answered.It was evident that she was an exceptional candidate, with a four-year streak of receiving scholarships during her time in university, attending internships at two major corporations during her sophomore year, and achieving excellent results on all her projects. Upon graduation, she even led her team in overseas business negotiations. Her frequent travel abroad could be the r

    "Not one bit," Joseph replied honestly.If she was not coming for his money, it meant he did not have the ability to make her go after it.Chloe found herself at a loss for words.'How could he be so insensitive?' she thought, ‘Any normal guy would be moved by such words, so why is his response so indifferent?'Chloe fixed her gaze upon the mirror, observing her reflection. She had been honing her cooking skills lately and her principles of minimizing waste had led her to consume everything she prepared, regardless of its flavor. Consequently, she had gained some weight—particularly around her cheeks—and no longer appeared as slim as she used to.Standing with her hands on her hips, Chloe declared, "I've made a decision. Starting today, I'm going to go jogging with you every morning! Be sure to wake me up!"Joseph's eyes narrowed, tinged with a hint of suspicion. "What scheme are you cooking up now?"Chloe had been waking up around ten lately and had not made him breakfast in a

    Chloe tightened her grip on the railing as she asked, "May I know how you got my contact information?"'Did Baxon's HR give this person my number?'"That's not important. The important thing is whether you're still interested in our company. However, the position of Estrenian translator you wanted has been filled. Janice wasn't trying to make things hard for you the other day.“Anyway, the only available position open now with a salary and job scope that matches your capabilities is a project leader position. If this interests you, we can arrange a face-to-face meeting to discuss further.""Discuss it with you or with Janice who interviewed me before?"She had been highly annoyed during that incident and did not wish to meet with the HR personnel who randomly called people in for interviews just to meet performance goals."You'll be talking to me directly.""All right then. Let's set up a time to meet."*After the call ended, Chloe stared at her phone and got lost in thought.

    Joseph stiffened and murmured robotically, "Yeah."Chloe's words were so pleasant that Harold felt like he was wrapped up in a cotton jacket. He beamed so wide that his smile reached his eyes. "Okay, okay. I’ll do as you say, Chloe."They enjoyed their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, and before Harold left in his car, he remembered that the two families had yet to meet. However, he resisted the urge to bring up the information he had uncovered about Chloe's family.'Well,' he thought, ‘I could just meet them on my own.'After seeing off Harold, Chloe removed the stickers on the refrigerator and carefully wiped off the glue that stuck to it with a cloth. As she wiped, she told Joseph, "I'll make it sparkling clean. I'll remove the potted plants on the balcony too. Rest assured. Your house will go back to exactly the way it was before.”Joseph felt a bit embarrassed at Chloe's words. She made it sound like he was the one being unreasonable here. He picked up the leash to take Tot

    There were two possible meanings to this sentence, but either way, it was an insult to Benjamin.Upon hearing the butler's words, Benjamin hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to withdraw his hand or not. After a moment of silence, he forced a smile and agreed, "You're right. The water in restaurants may be unclean, and we can't see it."Harold ignored him.Ava mustered up the courage to approach Harold and spoke, "Grandpa Harold, my father mentioned that you were planning to bring your granddaughter. I have a gift prepared for her, but I'm uncertain if it will be to her liking."She placed a set of five-figure skincare products on the table, eagerly trying to please Harold."My granddaughter had matters to attend to and couldn't make it," Harold replied.Ava looked disappointed and said, "I was hoping to meet your granddaughter. I'm sure she's as outstanding as you are.""Of course, she is," Harold said, stroking his beard. In his opinion, Chloe was the best. After all, she w

    Benjamin refused to admit that it was his fault, so he went with it and shifted the blame onto his daughter.He stated, "Of course, it's your fault. If it isn’t, then whose fault could it possibly be? Mine?”Ava's face turned red with frustration, but she did not dare retort. She had only made an offhand remark, and it was his fault for using Chloe's scandal as fodder for small talk with potential investors.What did any of this have to do with her?*With both being located downtown, Fairlight and Baxon were situated not far from each other.On her first day of work at Baxon, Chloe found herself attending a company-wide meeting. As she followed her colleagues into the conference room, a man in his thirties greeted her warmly, "Hello there."Chloe looked at the unfamiliar man, then glanced at the work badge pinned to his chest which read “Harry Smith, Director of Operations.” Though she did not understand why he was greeting her, she responded politely, "Hello.""I'm Icarus's o

    While sitting at the dining table and waiting for Chloe to finish cooking dinner, Joseph browsed through the company's internal chat group where everyone was gossiping.[Breaking news! Baxon's executive got an employee pregnant. Someone saw him taking the employee to the hospital for an abortion!][Is this executive named Maurice Oberden?][Yes! How did you know?][His scandals have been circulating in the financial world. Rumor has it that his wife found out and confronted him at his office last year. Don't know why they're not divorced yet though.][His wife is a full-time housewife. A divorce won’t be easy considering her situation.]Joseph scrolled down and the gossip about the Baxon's executive ended there. He switched his phone off just as Chloe finished making the pasta."Ta-da, your carbonara is ready! I even made you an omelet!"Joseph then looked at her plate, which contained nothing but some blanched broccoli."Have you had your dinner?""No, I'm on a diet and don'

    Nathan felt something was off with Joseph.Upon catching sight of Chloe downstairs, Nathan narrowed his eyes. He instantly grasped the reason for Joseph's eagerness to leave despite only having been here for a while. A smile danced on Nathan's lips as he lightly stroked his chin.'It's no wonder that he's so eager to leave. It seems like someone’s in the season of love.'*The mart was not far from home, and Chloe planned on carrying the bags home herself when Joseph appeared in front of her. Her sweet face held a look of surprise as she asked, "What are you doing here?""Just hanging out with a friend," Joseph said, smoothly taking the bags from her hand."I see." Chloe followed him toward the parking lot. "The cooking class gave out ingredients to make a cake today. I'll make it for you when we get back.""Okay."As they walked together beneath the westbound sun, their figures overlapped and cast intertwined shadows on the ground. They appeared like a couple deeply in love.

    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
