Chapter 894 His Legs Were Sore

Author: Aurora Summers
Beep, beep, beep...

The line went dead.

"Frieda?"

No one answered Chloe.

She immediately called Freida again but no one picked up. Panic overcame her and prompted her to call Joseph.

"I think something happened to Frieda."

After a momentary pause, Joseph consoled her. He said firmly, "Leave this to me and stay out of it."

Chloe bit her lips. Her insomnia was catching up to her, making her feel listless. "Did they learn about who Frieda is?"

"I guess so," Joseph answered.

There were never such coincidences. Someone must have told Duskfall, but Joseph could not figure out who it was. After he learned that Frieda was his mother, he had been very vigilant. He had even refrained from telling Harold, letting no one in on the secret. He trusted Chloe, and as for Lucas and Vince, they had been working for him for many years and he had no reason to doubt them.

"Go save Frieda. Don't let Duskfall get her again." Chloe was sincerely worried.

    Those words made Vince's legs shake uncontrollably. His legs almost buckled, and he hastily held onto a table to support himself.‘Eight times a night wouldn’t have been so bad. It's better than twenty times a night. I nearly died!' Zoelle had drained his energy, making him feel like an undead.Joseph looked up at the sullen Vince and frowned. "You failed to get the antidote, yet you’re somehow so miserable?"Blushing, Vince stammered, "Zoelle said there’s no antidote.""Then what took you so long?”"I… Zoelle was pestering me." Vince was engulfed by deep grievance as his legs shook at his employer’s interrogation."Go and see if Chloe's here."Joseph closed his eyes, failing to notice how weird Vince was behaving. It was not until Vince trudged out of the room while holding the wall that Joseph slowly opened his eyes and teased, "Did Zoelle drain you?"A chill ran down Vince's spine. He gave Joseph a thumbs up, sobbing. "You’re perceptive, sir. Can I get a few days off? I’m

    Frieda's eyes turned red, and she failed to hold her tears back. Her son did not hold her absence over the many years against her, nor did he despise her for being violated by that bastard Cyrus.Under his aloof demeanor, Joseph turned out to be an affectionate man just like his father.*While waiting for Chloe, sounds of an argument came from the security post at the entrance of the Whitman family home. Preston and his son’s voices could be heard.Patrick asked, "Sir, should I chase them away?" Joseph leaned into his armchair, casually crossing his legs. "No, let them in."Patrick was struck dumb. "But why?""I need them for my play."Preston and Jonathan had come just in time. Vince was just on a call with Chloe, and the two actors appeared. How professional!Did they hear about Joseph's mother being back? But who had told them that? Noah or Duskfall? Joseph felt that it was very likely Noah. "We have to demand the shares and compensation we deserve from Dad. Otherwise,

    "Come in." Being a man of little word, Joseph was not bothered to say much. Preston paled as he stared at Joseph's back in terror. Was he going to kill them? But they could not escape even if that was what he wanted to do. He then steeled himself and followed Joseph into the house.Joseph instructed a helper to bring over a plate of seeds. He then ordered Preston and Jonathan to start shelling the seeds as he, contrary to his usual image, lay languidly across the sofa with a wool blanket draped over him.Preston and Jonathan look at each other in dismay. Had he called them in just to shell these seeds?Jonathan tentatively picked up a seed, but itchiness spread over his hand as soon as he touched it. He stared at the seeds, then said upon recognizing them. "Dad, these are the seeds from Fufrain. We'll get a severe allergic reaction if we touch them with bare hands." With widened eyes, Preston huffed, "I knew you were trying to punish us!""These seeds are Jas' favorite. You hav

    Chloe frowned, her eyes locking onto the father and son. She coldly questioned, "What do you want? Money?"She was prepared to part with a reasonable sum, considering it a peace offering. She just had to get them to leave Jasper alone for a short time. She would not have to worry once Joseph was back on his feet.Preston was on the verge of agreeing as they did indeed need money, but Joseph's stern glance sealed his lips.Mistaking his hesitation for greed, Chloe's eyes narrowed in disdain. "Don't push your luck. I'm offering you money because I can't stand you bullying the weak and helpless."Knowing her social standing, Chloe was cautious not to wade too deep into the affairs of the Whitman family.Preston and Jonathan exchanged uneasy glances. They felt wronged. They were the ones being bullied here. Their hands were itching, red, and swollen from shelling the seeds."It’s okay, Chloe. There’s no need for you to deal with this. Go ahead and check the results," said Joseph.Ch

    Chloe came to a sudden realization, and everything became clear to her. In the spacious room, she and Joseph locked eyes. In his gaze, she saw nothing but herself. Their eyes welled up with tears, charged with emotion.She felt his hand squeeze hers as if he was restraining his enthusiasm, worried it might startle her. Without thinking, Chloe hugged him tightly. She leaned her face against his muscular chest, listening to the beating of his heart.Overcome with joy, Chloe said, "Our child is alive. He's really alive."Alive and thriving under his father's guidance. Joseph's usually cold expression melted as he affirmed, "Yes, our child is alive. Jas is our child."He knew had not wronged her. His heart belonged to only her.Unable to contain herself, Chloe let her tears flow. Pushing everything else aside, all she wanted to do was savor this moment. "Thank you for taking care of our son."It was clear to her that Jasper held Joseph in high regard. Putting herself in Joseph’s sh

    Joseph looked deeply into Chloe’s eyes and said in a low voice, "Chloe, there are some people you can't deal with by stepping back. My father, my grandfather… They all thought like you do—take a step back for a broader perspective. But what was the end result? The issues went unresolved and the abuse only got worse."A missed punch invited a hundred more. The same principle held true for him as the leader of the Whitman family. Protecting them was his obligation. For years, he had bided his time against Duskfall, waiting for the right moment to retaliate.Chloe paused, considering his words. He made a compelling argument. Duskfall was a formidable opponent, and years of hostility demanded resolution."When do you plan to make your move?""In three days." Joseph's eyes narrowed ever so slightly, an idea dawning on him as he looked at Chloe. "Have you figured out how Jon and Pres knew exactly when to come today?"Chloe answered, "Because they heard you were sick… Hang on, you look m

    Chloe drew in a sharp breath and gazed at him. "Do you have any proof?""Chloe, you have to believe me," Joseph implored, “For disrupting your wedding today, he's now retaliating like a madman.""Stop talking. I don’t want my mood spoiled."Clearly agitated, Chloe put an end to the conversation. She felt torn between her family and the father of her child, and this feeling overwhelmed her.Joseph was unsurprised by her reaction. He shot her a look that spoke volumes. It was a complex mix of worry and unspoken sentiment. He did not want to unsettle her any further at this point. Once she had received treatment and regained her memories, she would naturally comprehend the situation and stay away from Noah.Chloe felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and her temples throbbed painfully. "I'm going home. I'll come in the morning to send Jasper to school.”*Meanwhile, at Duskfall, Otto pushed a door open and was greeted by an intricately embroidered landscape painting hung on the wall.

    Noah's steps came to a sudden halt. The faint smile on his face disappeared as he turned to face Desmond, whose probing eyes seemed to read his very soul. A flutter of unease stirred within his chest. Desmond's eyes, shadowy yet deep, locked onto his. Everything was understood without the need for words.Desmond might not know the specifics of what Noah had done, but he had grown suspicious the moment Joseph audaciously invaded their home in broad daylight to abduct a bride. Furthermore, Harold hesitated to speak about the incident. He knew things were not as simple as they seemed. The day Joseph had the car accident coincided perfectly with the day Noah was out on a business trip to Fennelville.He had always believed Noah to be pure-hearted, mild-tempered, and loyal, incapable of any rash actions. But confronted with the facts, how could he dismiss his suspicions?For a few seconds, Noah's gaze flickered before shifting away. Desmond felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He knew al

    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
