The first message she received was from Emily.[What the hell?! You’re back together with Joseph?!][Why aren't you answering the phone? Are you seriously together with Joseph?][The Internet’s exploding and your reputation’s tanking. Just stay calm and don't let them get to you.]Chloe sighed. She then noticed that the number of followers on her social media had reached ten million. They were fans of Joseph, and these new fans were leaving messages on her account.[Wow, official announcement! And it looks to be for real.][This is the first time Joseph has ever posted a private photo. What's more, it's a lovey-dovey picture. It must be real!][Yeah, a man only shows off his girlfriend if he really likes her.][I'm so jealous… I want to be Chloe too. I want a boyfriend like Joseph.][My boyfriend refuses to post a photo of me on his social media. I'm so sad!][Miss, if your boyfriend refuses to post your photo, it means he really doesn't like you. Unless he works in a super p
As the guard continued to refuse her, Xavia felt her frustration surge. ‘Fine. You don't want to see me and take up your responsibility? I'll let the whole world know that you're a heartless man who abandoned his wife and child!'At three in the morning, Kenneth was awakened by Ophelia."Ken! Wake up! You’re being targeted online!"He rubbed his eyes in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"Ophelia handed him her tablet and said, "See for yourself."Xavia had posted an article late at night saying that her child had lost his father and she did not want to live anymore. Many netizens were worried that something had happened to her and reported the post to the police. When the cops arrived at the hospital, they found that Xavia had tried to harm herself. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep, and she and the child were not in life-threatening danger.Kenneth had always been seen as a good man in the eyes of the public. But now, despite being a prince, he was criticized by the ne
Before Chloe could respond, Emily barged into her room."Tell me! Is the news true or false?" Emily shook Chloe vigorously, her eyes filled with concern. “You don’t have to do this for Jasper. There are many ways to make it up to him. There's no need to sacrifice your happiness. Remember, always put yourself first, even before your child. That being said, if you and Joseph aren’t just reconciling for Jasper’s sake but genuinely repairing your relationship, I will support your decision."Feeling touched, Chloe looked at Emily and said, "Actually, it's neither.""Huh?" Emily blinked, a hint of understanding crossing her face. "I get it now. Are you using Joseph's financial power to resolve Exotic Star's crisis?"Chloe nodded, then applied a face mask. "You could say that.""Brilliant! You have my full support! Screw men! Women are on the rise now!" Emily considered this compensation for all the hurt Joseph had put Chloe through.As Chloe pulled out a lilac suit dress from the wardr
The next moment, Joseph got out of the car as well. He gave no response and simply looked at his watch to check the time while Bethany continued, "Joe, do you think Jas will like me?"Joseph lowered his head to look at her and said plainly, "Probably."Although Jasper was reserved, he did not dislike someone without reason. Bethany was filled with joy. She grabbed Joseph’s arm and said, "I hope Jas and I get along.”The midday sun bathed Chloe's shoulders in abundant light. While it should have provided warmth, all she sensed was a cold chill that ran through her entire body. Men were deceitful creatures. All those words about Bethany being unimportant and that no one would affect their relationship were nothing but empty talks. She should never have trusted him.Chloe could tell at a glance that Bethany was a schemer. This was nothing more than an attempt to get closer to Joseph, using her fondness for children as a pretext to approach him. Her eyes narrowed as she walked briskl
Bethany froze and her sobbing abruptly ceased. She stared at Joseph in disbelief, unable to utter a word. She could not believe that he was sending her away because of Chloe. It was as if Chloe had bewitched him the moment he saw her.Joseph could sense Bethany’s emotions through her gaze but felt that he had done nothing wrong. He flagged down a cab and pushed her into it.There was nothing Bethany could do other than be ushered into the cab like a puppet. She stared at Chloe, who appeared indifferent, and a touch of resentment flitted through her eyes.*After Bethany was sent away, Jasper came out. Chloe smiled and grabbed his hand. "Let's go, I bought you some delicious food. We can have it in the car.""Thanks, Mom. Are you done with all your work?" Jasper asked. He was looking at only her, completely ignoring Joseph’s presence.Joseph did not get angry. He stared at Chloe deeply as if seeking approval. He felt that he had handled the situation well, but it seemed to him tha
Joseph's face sank. He gritted his teeth and pulled Jasper's ear. "Say that again, you little rascal!" “Ah! Mommy! Daddy’s hurting me!” Jasper quickly sought help.Chloe extended her hand and gave Joseph a slap. "Why are you arguing with a child? He doesn't understand anything."Joseph scoffed. "He doesn't understand anything? Isn't this considered understanding quite a lot? Besides, I didn't use much force. He’s just pretending to get your attention."Taking cover behind Chloe, Jasper made faces at Joseph. Unlike other children his age, Joseph was serious and rarely smiled, but since Chloe had returned, he had become more cheerful and lively. Joseph noticed these changes, and the frustration on his face dissipated.To bolster their con, Chloe decided to post a family photo, but she blurred Jasper's face to protect the child's privacy. Joseph then reposted it, creating a harmonious family atmosphere. It was difficult for even the people involved to distinguish the truth. Rather t
"Will I get better after taking it?"Tiffany froze. She did not know what to say. "Don't think like that, Noah. Ms. Zoelle will find a way to cure you.”"Do you believe that?""Of course, I do. I believe you’ll live a long and healthy life." Tiffany looked at him earnestly, her gaze full of sincerity and affection. Turning his head, Noah looked at Tiffany and scoffed. "Hah, you've been sick yourself for so many years. Don't you understand the human body by now?"Tiffany clenched her fists and said stubbornly, "My illness is congenital, but yours is different. With Ms. Zoelle around, your chances of recovery are much greater than mine."She needed a heart transplant, but finding a suitable heart was difficult. Even if the transplant was successful, rejection could always happen. However, Noah was still young. He was capable and had a bright future ahead. Most importantly, she longed to start a family with him."Stop lying to yourself," Noah interrupted her halfheartedly. He stoo
Meanwhile, Chloe had tried all night to make the secretary talk. Whether it was a heartfelt persuasion or intimidation, the secretary kept her mouth shut. To be honest, if Desmond had not instructed that the secretary was not to be harmed, Joseph would have found ways to make her sing long ago."Let's call it a day. Don't go to the office. It's better that you recharge before going all out,” Joseph advised.Chloe closed her eyes with her hand and smiled bitterly. "I can't take it anymore. If I keep going, not only me, but everyone is going to faint."They had found the secretary, so it was only a matter of time before she spilled the beans.Despite pulling an all-nighter, they had failed to extract any useful information from the secretary. Joseph had been worried that Chloe's mood might be affected, but hearing her say this eased his concerns. They walked side by side, the gap between them slowly closing. Occasionally, their hands touched and both of them could sense the electrifi
