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.

    Chloe was both ashamed and angry. Her voice rose sharply. “You were eavesdropping on my conversation?!"She could not comprehend why he was accusing her of such a thing. ‘Is he hard of hearing? If he had indeed overheard my conversation, why is he accusing me like this?’"I was just passing by." Joseph sneered as he shook the cup he was holding in her face.He spoke the truth. Despite being angry upon overhearing Chloe's conversation with another man, he was not someone who lacked emotional control, nor did he have a habit of snooping on other people's conversations.He was not expecting to come across such a scandalous scene just as he was walking out of his bedroom after retrieving his water glass.Chloe did not know how to explain. Her face turned red with anger, and she quickly made a voice call to Icarus in front of Joseph."Open your eyes and see if I'm flirting with anybody!" she exclaimed."End the call. You've embarrassed yourself enough," Joseph mocked her.Just as Ch

    Chloe's face turned pale as she clenched her fists, knowing that Ava must be behind all of this.If she followed the police back to the station today, her reputation in the company would be ruined. However, she had no choice but to go.Chloe took a deep breath and said, "I'll go, but I want to make it clear that if the investigation proves that I’m innocent and have nothing to do with the case, Jake must apologize to me."The police could not control these matters and replied, "Once the results of the investigation come out, you can negotiate privately."*At the police station, Ava sat in front of Chloe and said in a low voice, "Why do you insist on working at a big company? Now, you're back to square one. No big company will hire a criminal."Chloe smirked and retorted without hesitation, "I got into a big company solely based on my abilities. And what about you? Apart from framing others, what skills do you possess? You aspire to work in a big company but evidently lack the ab

    Fairness existed in the world, and after the police officers conducted a thorough investigation, Chloe knew she would be released.Jake felt disappointed that Chloe remained obstinate and uncooperative, so he swiftly departed with Ava.In the end, it turned out that Chloe was too naive. After spending several hours at the station, she was physically and mentally devastated, and her temper had been completely worn down. She tried her best to explain herself to the police, but her explanations fell flat in the face of the "sufficient" evidence.*After Ava and Jake left, the latter could not stop complaining about Chloe."Why would she use such underhanded tactics to cheat me of my money? If she really needs it, she could’ve just asked me. Those bracelets are my family heirloom that has been passed down for generations. How could she sell it so brazenly? I was blind to fall for her in the first place!""Maybe Coco has been going through a tough time," Ava said in a soothing voice,

    After briefly explaining the whole situation to Joseph, Tyson went to the interrogation room to see Chloe.Although they did not cross paths when they attended the party at the Whitmans’ not long ago, Tyson knew about Chloe. In light of their relationship, she should call him “Uncle Tyson.” However, Chloe was aware that the current moment was unsuitable for introductions."About a month back, I gave the bracelets to Jake at a coffee shop on Dixie Street. You can check the surveillance footage there. It's been quite some time since then, so I wonder why he reported it only now if what he said is true. There must be something going on.“Moreover, the store owner who gave her testimony must also be involved in this. Today was my first time ever seeing her! You can start investigating her to gather more information," Chloe said, listing all the suspicious details she could think of.However, she felt disheartened when the person across from her remained silent. The man in front of her

    Patting her chest, Chloe let out a long sigh and muttered, "Thank goodness you didn't see him."She had not truly become Joseph's wife yet, so she was not ready to confess to him."What did you say?""Nothing. I didn't say anything," Chloe replied. After regaining some of her composure, she apologized, sounding a little guilty, "I'm sorry for wasting your time today."Joseph did not respond. As he turned the wheel skillfully with his slender fingers, he said in a serious voice, "You know that there's something fishy about today's matter, right?""Yeah…""You have a lot of enemies."After a period of unemployment, Chloe finally secured a job, but she managed to cause a huge problem within the first month. Although Baxon might let her stay on, she would need to find the courage to confront the rumors and gossip that would surely circulate.With a bitter smile, she explained, "It's not that I'm bad at dealing with people. Luck just hasn't been on my side."Being born into an unfa

    Janice stood frozen in her spot, the phrase "You're not pretty enough" echoing in her ears.She felt the curious gazes of those around her. With anger coursing through her, she quivered and her face twisted in fury as she charged forward, intent on attacking Chloe.Nonetheless, Chloe effortlessly evaded her and fixed her gaze on Janice with her almond-shaped eyes. "Did you intentionally recommend me for the business department during our interview?"Having been in Baxon for a month, Chloe now had some understanding of the business department. Besides performing well, everyone there was a beautiful woman. It was obvious what their role was.Janice had clearly wanted to push her into a trap."All right, all right, simmer down. Janice was just joking with you." Maurice stepped forward to mediate the situation. He gestured at the colleagues at the side to pull Janice away.Chloe's face sank. 'A joke huh?'A smile slowly spread across her beautiful face as she calmly said, "Yeah, I w

    Chloe fell into momentary silence, unsure of how to reject the task.Sensing her hesitation, her superior tried to ease her worries by saying, "No worries. Take your time to think about it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I've met Mr. Jack a couple of times and he's kind of scared of his wife. Other than exchanging resources, you won't have to do anything else.""But does Fairlight agree with this kind of behavior?" Chloe asked, aware of the competitive relationship and differences between Baxon and Fairlight."Well, that's precisely why we're sending you," her superior replied."I see. I'll think about it," Chloe said.*After work, Chloe got off the bus. As she was lost in thought, she did not notice a car pull up beside her."Chloe?" Joseph called out from the driver's seat.She turned around, surprised at the sight of him next to her. But her face lit up with a smile the second."Are you off work too?" she asked."Yeah," he replied with a raised eyebrow. "Get in.

    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
