Chapter 537 Renovation for the Matrimonial Home

Author: Aurora Summers
The CEO's office had seen various occupants over time. First Harold, then Joseph's father, and now Joseph himself held the position.

Preston had never been given the opportunity to sit in that coveted seat.

Although Joseph had taken over Fairlight, he seldom came to the office. Despite this, Harold still trusted him enough not to pass on the CEO title to Preston.

Being told that he lacked the necessary abilities was tolerable for Preston. He had never been overly ambitious. Remaining within the Whitman Group and having a voice on the board of directors had been enough for him.

Yet, Joseph did not appreciate it. Preston gave an inch, yet Joseph wanted a mile. After expelling Jonathan, Joseph proceeded to strip him of his board position.

It was clear that Joseph intended to bring ruin to the family, and Preston knew he had to take action.

He knew that the CEO's office had a double-layered password, but he was not sure if Joseph had changed it or not. With a try-and-see attitude, he

    Joseph chuckled as he looked at Chloe. "Why are you so surprised? Did you think we’d continue living here after our wedding?""Why not?" Chloe's gaze fell to her feet. Her voice was soft and hesitant as she said hesitantly, "Living here is quite comfortable.""This place is pretty good, but there are no schools nearby. It’d be inconvenient for our future children when they have to go to school," Joseph explained.Chloe's mouth parted slightly as understanding dawned upon her. She raised her head and stared directly at Joseph, "Are you preparing for Xavia's child?""She hasn't done the amniocentesis yet. Until we have the results, I can't call it my child," Joseph declared firmly, his determination shining through."In that case, let's wait and see. What if it turns out to be your child? It's too early to start the renovations. After all, we don't know how many children’s rooms we’ll need," Chloe retorted with a hint of sarcasm.She did not want to get caught up in the beautiful f

    Joseph raised an eyebrow and placed her slippers by her feet. "Go wash up and come downstairs for breakfast. I'll drive you to work later. I have to go to Cloude for a bit tomorrow. Abigail has been discharged from the hospital, and she'll report to you in two days.""Okay," Chloe replied. After a while, she thought of something and asked, "I might also have to go on a business trip to Estre in a few days. There's a project I need to oversee.""For how long?" Joseph asked."About two weeks," she replied. She intentionally downplayed the duration while carefully observing the expressions of the man beside her from the corner of her eye.Joseph paused for a moment. "That long?""Yeah... It’s kind of long, but when it comes to project investments, a thorough examination is necessary. Besides, I also want to learn and experience things in Estre. Given the circumstances, it might take some time."This statement was a mixture of truth and deception. The part about examining the project

    Finn Harris handed a signed check to Preston and asked, "Just a USB drive? Do you have other data or results?"Preston had planned to not give them everything from the get-go. He said, "I'll go to the bank to withdraw the funds first. I'll then give you the rest of the confidential files."Finn frowned, and he looked at Otto. The latter shrugged nonchalantly.A mischievous grin adorned Otto's face as he said, "Take your time. Go ahead and verify it." After all, he did not really care about it. "All right, that's settled then," Preston expressed his satisfaction with the response. It was a far cry from the usual disrespect he received from Joseph.Otto took the USB drive, got into his car, and drove away.Just as Preston was about to leave, a large group of journalists suddenly swarmed him, their cameras flashing like countless stars and nearly blinding him. Before he could utter a curse, his wrist was clamped by something icy cold. He looked down, and his eyes widened in disbeli

    In the office of Briarlake’s president.Otto leisurely watched as the various rich men from different circles discussed Preston stealing confidential files in the group chat. Sarcasm filled the atmosphere, as he smirked with interest and reveled in it.Finn came in with a USB drive. "Mr. Otto, the development team checked on the contents of the USB drive. They stated that this proposal is a work in progress and is in need of modifications. It isn't complete but the idea is very creative and practical. We need to change its key points to integrate it with our products. Our company will surely secure the project proposed by the city council next month."A look of satisfaction dawned on Otto’s face. He did not deny Joseph's talent in doing business. "Ask them to speed up.""Okay." "And ignore Preston. Have our men in the cells take good care of him.""Got it. By the way, the doctor called last night. He failed to kill Harold in the fall and nearly exposed himself. Joseph seems to b

    Chloe, who was standing outside the study, quietly lowered her head and bit her lip bitterly.Harold coughed several times. "Fine, whatever you want. But I have to remind you that this child will affect your relationship with Chloe. You have to be mentally prepared.""Chloe agreed to it. She's magnanimous."Harold glared at Joseph, a storm brewing in his eyes. "It's not that she's being magnanimous. She's just compromising because she doesn’t have a choice out of her love for you.""I'll be nicer to her and won't let her down." Gloominess crept up Joseph's demonically handsome face. He pondered over it seriously. "We'll have our own child in the future. It isn’t bad for the two children to grow up together." Harold became tired so he waved for Joseph to leave. "Tell Chloe to come in."Joseph agreed. When he opened the door, he found himself looking into Chloe's eyes. The latter was just standing outside.Chloe shot him a cold gaze, her face was full of displeasure. She hated t

    Chloe knitted her pretty brows. "Do you know what’s the one question I thought about the most during my childhood?"Taken aback, Joseph asked, "What was it?""Why did I have to share my father with Ava."Chloe walked to the window and glanced at the starry sky outside. Her voice sounded soft as if her soul had returned to the distant past. She had suffered Benjamin's indifference, Ava's bullying, and Karen's hypocrisy. Although it was long ago, she still remembered it all vividly.Was her child destined to suffer the same fate as her?Joseph's body trembled before he pulled her into his arms. "We don't have to tell the child the truth."Chloe struggled out of his embrace and turned to look at him. "Won't the child know even if you keep it a secret?" "And what's the big deal if the child knows? Xavia is reckless and has lost the right to raise her child. Her child will only be grateful toward you."If Xavia had led an honorable life and never done those vulgar things, he might

    Chloe's eyes became watery. "Grandpa loves you very much. He suffered in silence for so many years."Harold had lost his eldest son and wife at the midpoint of his life. The schemes and fights in the family, as well as his disappointing second son, filled all his days with loneliness. His son took his life because of Fleurette, and consequently, there was no leader to handle the Whitman family.Being left with no options, Harold focused all his attention on Joseph. He was Joseph's grandfather as well as his father. He tried his best to raise and educate Joseph.Joseph did not disappoint Harold and became an exceptional man. However, the Sinclairs came bearing news of Fleurette, claiming that she was still alive. How could Harold bear to hand the note to Joseph?But he had pondered over many things during this period. Since the Sinclairs had made a move, he felt that Joseph should not suffer in silence. At his age, Harold could not help Josep and could only let Joseph make his own d

    “Patrick did as you instructed and accepted the medicine Dr. Spencer prescribed as per normal.“Also, Dr. Frederick has confirmed that the herbs Ms. Chloe has been taking are normal herbs to regulate her blood circulation. He says that she can go ahead with one round of the treatment and see how it goes."Lastly, Otto lied to Preston. He gave Preston an empty promise." When Lucas reached this point, he gave Joseph an admiring gaze. "Thankfully, you long guessed that the Sinclairs would start with Preston and made preparations by changing the documents in the safe. Otherwise, Preston would have ruined Whitman Group." ‘Mr. Joseph sure pulled off an awesome feat and planned ahead.’Joseph opened his eyes as he smirked. "Did anyone in the family try to beg for mercy on Pres’ behalf?""No one else but Jonathan. He came once but Patrick turned him away."Joseph's noble face became unfathomable. "Because of Jon, I’ve long sensed something fishy.”Jonathan claimed to have invested in a

    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
