A chill ran down Chloe’s spine as she touched her nose and replied, “Well, my words may sound a bit exaggerated, but my feelings toward Fairlight are genuine.”
Joseph chuckled dismissively, his demeanor nonchalant as he made his way upstairs.
‘Genuine feelings toward Fairlight? Shouldn’t it be directed at me instead? This dumbo has been so eager to find her way into my bed, and now with these increased chances of meeting, I’m certain she’s absolutely delighted.’
He had encountered many women like Chloe, but he did not find her repulsive. If she behaved obediently and played her cards right, there was a possibility of her becoming his true wife.
After taking a shower, Chloe received a call from Emily.
“So, when are you planning to move out? My colleague has a house for rent, and it’s close to my place. You could even stay at mine if you like. My boyfriend won’t be around,” Emily suggested.
Chloe hesitated for a moment before whispering, “I’ve decided to stay here for now and not rent a place.”
“Huh? But why?”
“I just feel like he has done a lot for me, and it wouldn’t be right to leave so abruptly,” Chloe replied softly.
Besides, what Joseph said was true. They had signed a contract, and she needed to honor it.
There was a pause on the other end of the line before Emily said, “You’re not having second thoughts about Joseph, are you?”
Chloe bristled and she hastily retorted, “You must be out of your mind. Even the dog in this house is more likable than him!”
“Hahaha, don’t talk about him in that way. After all, he’s the CEO of a prominent listed company and a talented young man. He’s the dream man of many women. If you really can’t bring yourself to leave, then stay. Besides, doesn’t his grandfather treat you well?”
“Why are you hell-bent on pairing us off?” Chloe asked in annoyance.
Emily had never approved of any of the men who pursued Chloe in the past. She had a knack for finding flaws in them.
“Because he’s genuinely exceptional. If my best friend becomes wealthy, I will surely live a good life too. I may not be able to achieve rapid success, but my daily life will surely be delightful,” Emily explained.
Chloe finally realized that she was joking. “Stop teasing me. High society might seem glamorous, but only the one who experiences it knows the bitterness behind it. All right, I’m going to hang up now. I have another call coming in.”
As she looked at the unfamiliar incoming call, her intuition told her it was Adam. And just as she expected, when she answered the call, a voice that straddled between adolescence and youth rang out.
“Sis, you were looking for me?”
Adam was quite excited. He had not expected Chloe to reach out to him of her own accord.
Chloe nodded. “Yes, I’d like to ask for your help.”
“Sure, go
ahead and tell me what it is.”
“It’s about your relationship with Ava… Can you please share the details with me?”
Her tone was gentle and polite-completely different from the cold attitude she had when refusing to give Adam her phone number back then.
When seeking someone’s assistance, this was the way to go. What’s more, she was inquiring about someone else’s personal matters.
“Sure,” Adam readily replied. He told Chloe everything about his relationship with Ava, and even mischievously added, “Sis, are you planning to teach her a lesson? I still have those flirtatious messages Ava sent me. I can send them to you, and you can show them to her fiance. I guarantee they’ll drive him crazy.”
“Revealing your chat history could have consequences for you,” Chloe said seriously.
“My reputation isn’t great anyway, so I don’t care about it. If you feel guilty, just blur out my profile picture.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Since Adam had voluntarily made such an offer, Chloe did not hold back either.
She hesitated a bit before asking, “Also, why are you suddenly calling me ‘sis?””
Not only that, but he treated her with respect. She remembered that they had only met twice before this call.
