Chloe's gaze lowered, torn between the desire to confide in Joseph and the fear of his potential anger. She knew from past experiences that even innocent encounters with Icarus would infuriate him. Now, with those distasteful photos circulating online, the thought of his reaction terrified her, and she could not bear to imagine it.

Nevertheless, she summoned a delicate smile and assured him, "I'm fine, really. Let's just go ahead as planned."

He looked at her seriously and said in a deep voice, "All right then."

Clasping her hand with his, they strolled toward the parking area. As their fingers intertwined, he could not help but notice how small and cold her hand felt compared to his. A frown appeared on his face as he tightened his grip, allowing a comforting warmth to flow from his palm to hers, gradually thawing her icy fingers.

Joseph had made an appointment at the most prestigious bridal store in Aesper. The store manager was aware of their visit and had rescheduled all other

    Joseph firmly grasped her shoulders as he raised his eyebrows. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I doubt you when it was just a baseless claim?"Chloe was stunned, thrown off by his reaction.Joseph continued, "I've already instructed for those articles to be taken down.""Oh, that’s what you're talking about…""Of course," he replied, his face growing stern. "Wait... Is there something else you haven't told me?"Chloe shook her head. "No, no!"Joseph narrowed his eyes. He sensed that she was hiding something, yet she kept her lips sealed. It seemed like he had pampered her too much lately, and she had started lying again. He was infuriated, but he refrained from pressing further for the time being. He knew there would be time to address this later, perhaps after dinner.They had agreed that while spending time together, they would visit the family home and have meals with Harold. As they passed by a mall, Chloe remembered Harold mentioning a newly released traditi

    Chloe froze for a moment and then hastily changed the subject. "Grandpa, I bought you your favorite pastry.""You're the best, my sweet. That brat has never bothered to get me anything," Harold said."Yeah, I've never gotten you pastries. I merely took care of the mess in the Whitman Group that was worth over 100 thousand dollars," Joseph remarked casually as he descended the stairs.He had changed into his home outfit. "Taking care of me and doing business are two completely different things. Don't get them mixed up," Harold retorted."All right then, from now on, I'll stop taking care of the Whitman Group's affairs and will focus solely on buying pastries for you," Joseph replied. He was dressed in a navy blue silk pajama that softened his edges, making him more approachable. "Shut it. Don't go saying things that’ll upset me." Chloe patted Harold's shoulder and said, "Everyone has their expertise. Jojo's intelligent and a natural leader in the business world. Asking him to

    After enduring a bout of nausea in the restroom, Chloe felt a bit better and decided to step out. But as she pushed open the door, Joseph was standing right outside, his eyes dark and swarming with a myriad of emotions."I saw the photos," he said.Chloe stood there in a daze, and then she saw Joseph holding her phone tightly in his hand."I can explain. It’s not what you think. Icarus and I are not—""You've disappointed me greatly," Joseph interrupted her, "I asked you many times today, giving you plenty of opportunities to tell me, yet you didn't say a word."'Am I truly that undeserving of her trust? Does she really prefer to carry this burden alone or seek Tyson's help rather than turning to me?'As she heard his words, her heart tightened in her throat. Believing he was angry, she said, "Please believe me. Nothing happened between Icarus and me that day. They forced me to take off my clothes. If you don't believe me, I can call Icarus right now to prove it."“Enough!" Jose

    Chloe's hand froze in mid-air, and after a brief pause, she slowly lowered it."How long do I have to wait?"“About an hour.”"Okay."She let out a long sigh and walked to the window, opening it to take in the view of the backyard. Toto had been brought home, and at that moment, Toto was joyfully playing with Oreo.Suddenly, a thought struck Chloe. Since the time Xavia sent Oreo here, she had never bothered to visit or show any concern for the dog. The few times she came here were just to cause her trouble. This behavior led Chloe to suspect that even sending Oreo was part of Xavia's calculated scheme.*On the highway from Cloude to Aesper.Sitting in a van, Vanya spoke respectfully as she reported to the person on the other end. Ten minutes later, she ended the call. The driver peered at the license plate of the car in front of them and asked, “Hey Van, up ahead. Doesn’t this car belong to the guy who ruined Xavia's plan?"Vanya leaned forward, trying to see inside the car,

    Vanya was instantly petrified, unable to believe her eyes.'Gabriel is with Joseph? This isn't good.'Despite the chance to deal with Gabriel, Vanya knew she could not afford to confront Joseph at this moment. S had warned her that Joseph had initiated an investigation into their activities, making it a difficult time for any direct confrontation.Gritting her teeth, she ordered, "Retreat!"Without delay, the subordinate stepped on it, the vehicle barely holding together after the collision. Inside, Vanya felt the lingering effects of the impact. Her head throbbed, and she was overcome by dizziness and nausea.Unable to contain her frustration, she growled, "Stop these damn modifications!"Their van had already been professionally modified for comfort and space, even though its outward appearance looked ordinary and aged. Yet, this fool had gone and modified it further, wasting all the good setups.Gabriel watched the departing van and commented, "They just left like that? I hat

    Their intimate connection lasted for a long moment with them moving from the bean bag to the bed. Only when the atmosphere around them was fully charged with their desire did Chloe weakly push Joseph away."Where have you been all day?""I went to Cloude with Tyson. We found the guy who leaked your photos. All of them have been destroyed," Joseph replied.Chloe was stunned. "Who was it?""He's with that masked woman, but he's just a low-ranking lackey who doesn't know much."Pressing her lips together tightly, Chloe fixed her gaze on him and asked, "Why did you help me if you were mad at me?""Are those two things contradictory?" Joseph shot back. "Then why did you lock me in?" she asked, her frown deepening."I locked you up so that you could reflect on your mistakes. When faced with a problem, why didn't you tell me immediately? As your husband, it's my responsibility to help you overcome any difficulties and protect you," Joseph said with a displeased squint.

I won't mind if you become an old hag. It's the inevitable path for women. All of you turn ugly as you age."Offering Rob a fake smile, Chloe said, "Do you really think you're being considerate?""Am I not?" Rob widened his mouth in surprise. "Which man wouldn’t like a young and pretty woman? But I can control myself. It's a matter of loyalty to the family.""No need for that. I make over six and a half grand a month, with additional bonuses at every month-end. My annual income amounts to 78 thousand dollars. I won't give up my job, and I don't need anyone to support me.

    Lucas touched his nose. "Yes, I did. You’re always calling Mr. Joseph a jerk, Emily. I wanted to prove that he isn't."Chloe could not quite understand. Lucas' help did not seem to affect Emily at all. Instead, he seemed to have helped her vent her anger.Joseph had not arrived. She sent him a message, but he said he needed another hour or two.Since they had to wait for him, Chloe and Emily decided to stroll around the other project sites. However, they crossed paths with Noah not long after they started off.Chloe’s eyes lit up. "This is perfect. I have something to discuss with you."Noah had a clean and handsome face. He gave off the vibe of a gentle spring breeze, and he often carried a faint smile that made people feel warm and comfortable."Sure, go ahead."Chloe explained the situation in detail, her tone earnest. "That jewelry was left to me by my mother, and they’re very important to me. I hope you’ll help me find them."Noah fell silent for a while then said in a voic

    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
