Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 141

Chapter 141 A Suddenly Ravenous

Chloe walked over and took the document to take a look.

Soon she put away all the displeasing affairs that had just happened.

Her voice went a pitch higher and she appeared shell-shocked as she asked, “Is this evidence

of Sebastian’s tax evasion?”

“Mm-hm.”

“Do you want to report against the Foxes?” Chloe put both hands on the table. “Aren’t they your family friends? Why do you want to do this?”

“Do you really believe in that superficial relationship?” Joseph’s lips twitched in an unfathomable manner and his expression filled with disdain.

Jane’s ambition was pretty obvious, so Mr. Harold never considered her when he was introducing women to Joseph. Of course, people cared about equal social ranks when it came to their marriages but they were also afraid that it might cause disaster instead.

Chloe was slightly stunned but realized that he was right. Jane might really like Joseph, but

she always talked about interests and profits. How sincere was her love for Joseph? What she cared for was the Whitman family or the resources brought by Fairlight.

“When do you plan to do it?”

“Within the next few days.”

“Oh…” Chloe raised her doubt. “Didn’t you tell me that something bad may happen to Sebastian soon? Can’t you just wait? Why do you want to report him?”

‘Is it because Sebastian and Jane targeted me during the charity party the other day?’

Joseph drummed his fingers on the table rhythmically, making a clear sound. “It’s because I find them an eyesore.”

Chloe looked at him. He appeared composed with his eyes half narrowed, trying to hide the

emotion in his eyes.

Forget it. He always acts according to his mood. Well, I don’t think he really wants to take revenge for me. If I ask about it, it’ll bring contempt upon myself.”

After Chloe left Joseph’s office and returned to the office safe and sound.

Wendy was amazed. “Chloe, you look like you’re in good shape…”

Previously, a middle-level executive was asked to stay in Joseph’s office for half an hour. When he got back, he was in very low spirits. He had no appetite whatsoever. When he got home, his wife thought that he had been fired.

Chloe was just a low-level employee. After she was scolded, she remained calm and easygoing. Her mentality was indeed extraordinary.

Consequently, Chloe became helpless as she touched her nose. “Maybe I’m bold and not easily hurt by others’ criticisms.”

Besides, it was not the first time Joseph had scolded her, so she was used to it.

However, Wendy did not think so. She felt that Chloe must be capable, so she wanted to take Chloe under her wing.

After Wendy decided to promote Chloe, Chloe got a lot of chances to move up in the marketing department.

After a few days, Samuel told her that the lawsuit had been filed and that they would now wait for the court summons to open the case.

Feeling gratified, Chloe said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Samuel. You’ve done so much for me.”

“You don’t have to thank me. Just thank Joe. He cares a lot about your affairs. At first, the trial

was set to begin in July at the earliest, but he spent quite a lot of effort to advance it by half a

month.”

Chloe was overwhelmed by shock. “He didn’t tell me about it…” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Samuel was not surprised. “Joe may look cold but he’s actually warm-hearted. He dislikes talking about the good things he does for you. Just be nicer to him. As his friend, I won’t be worried about leaving him in your care.”

“Mr. Samuel, you got it all wrong. We’re just-”

Before Chloe could finish explaining, she was interrupted by Samuel. “All right, that’s all for now. My assistant will contact you if there’s anything related to the case.”

After that, he hung up the call without giving Chloe any chance to explain that.

While staring at her dark phone screen, she thought about Joseph, and her gaze turned complicated.

At night, Joseph found Chloe busy in the kitchen when he got home after a social gathering. Dressed in simple home clothes and her hair in a low ponytail, she was learning from an online tutorial how to make hamburger soup, which was said to be good for hangovers.

Half of her face was light under the dim and gentle light, and it seemed very tender. At the same time, it exuded a very comforting charm.

It made this house truly feel like home.

Joseph then twirled his fingers briefly before he sauntered to the dining table and sat down. He asked lightly, “Did you do something wrong?”

A Suddenly Ravenous

While holding the ladle, Chloe sounded confused. “What do you mean?”

He glanced at her. “Why are you making me hamburger soup then?”

Previously, Chloe would eat on her own at night if he had to attend a social gathering. When he was home, she would either be sleeping soundly or having a bath and applying a facial

mask.

However, she was so eagerly attentive to him that day. So, he assumed that she had done something wrong. She was doing this to appease him.

Chloe answered, “No, I didn’t…”

Joseph raised his brows in disbelief.

Chloe poured some soup into a bowl and got a spoon for him. She then yawned languidly. ” Just drink it. I’m going to bed now. I’ll make you fish and chips with a salad for lunch tomorrow.”

The soup smelled good, so it was quite enticing.

Joseph watched Chloe as she walked up the stairs. She was tall and slim, and her waist was thin too. The part of her petite legs that was exposed was fair and straight. In addition, her skin was extremely tender as if it would turn red with just a light touch.

His eyes darkened slightly. At first, he did not have an appetite. But out of the blue, he suddenly felt ravenous.

Chloe was back in her bedroom. She dozed off before long, and when she woke up in the morning, she found she had missed a call from Jake.

He had called her at three o’clock in the morning.
