Chapter 144 You Can’t Stay With Joseph for Long
In the room, clothes were scattered all over the floor. An unknown woman was lying on the water bed, naked and screaming.
It was irrefutable evidence. It was just like the day when Chloe walked in on Ava and Jake in bed together. Thinking that such things were behind her, she could not suppress her nausea upon seeing this same scene.
In the next second, she started retching. At the same time, she heard people arguing.
Lucas had worked for Joseph for a long time, so he acted resolutely and decisively. He immediately separated Emily from the scumbag. After affirming the truth, he took out his phone and took photographs of the scene to record the evidence. He then left with Chloe and Emily.
When they got downstairs, Emily regained her wits. With a tear-filled face, she asked, “Why did you pull me away? I haven’t beaten him up.”
“Don’t waste your time on meaningless stuff.”
Chloe tilted her head. She found that Lucas’ resembled a certain person very much.
“Ms. Chloe, Mr. Joseph is waiting for you in the car. I’ll help your friend get a cab.”
They could not make Joseph wait for too long.
Chloe pointed at Emily, who was crying profusely. “I want to go home with Em.”
Lucas was stunned before he recalled Joseph’s order. “I’ll help you give her a ride home and send her the photos I took.”
Chloe watched as Lucas helped the teary Emily into a cab. He was indeed efficient, but she felt something was amiss.
When she was back in the car, Joseph glanced at her languidly. When he saw her pale face, he frowned. “Why do you look sick?”
“Nothing… I just found the scene a bit disgusting.”
Joseph remained silent before he turned the steering wheel and drove home. They reached the
villa half an hour later.
When Jane saw Joseph arrive home, she rushed over even before the car stopped. She begged anxiously, “Joseph, the police took Bass. You know people at the station. Please help me.”
Joseph lowered the car window and revealed an aloof expression. His slender eyes narrowed. ” What does this have to do with me?”
“Despite not being married, we’ve been friends for so many years. Can you bear to see them lock up Bass?”
“Tsk, the Fox Group secretly and unscrupulously seized business deals from my family and ruined the project of an office building of over 10,000 square meters. Why can’t I bear to see him locked up?”
Jane’s face fell. “My dad apologized to Mr. Harold about that affair.”
Joseph snorted in response and drawled, “My grandpa is old. He wanted to do something good before passing on, so he let the matter go. That doesn’t mean that I’ll accept it.
Chloe was struck speechless. ‘Is he praising or cursing Grandpa?’
Jane then noticed Chloe who was sitting in the back seat, and envy engulfed her rationality She admonished, “Five years have passed since then, and you’re bringing it up all of a sudden now? Is it because of this b*tch you married?”
The properties managed by the Whitman family were separate from Fairlight’s. Joseph went abroad to study in the past and single-handedly established Fairlight. After that, he never meddled in his family’s business.
In addition, Harold, who was old, did not worry about his business. He handed most of the affairs to the people he trusted to manage. Even if there was a loss, he did not care very much about it.
During those years, the other aristocratic families conspired with each other to snatch many projects from the Whitmans. But when Joseph came back, he punished somebody as a warning to others after he inspected the family’s finances.
As a result, those people stopped their scheming.
Chloe retorted before Joseph could say anything.
“Your brother’s tax evasion is illegal. What does it have to do with me? Do you want my husband to go against the law and help you? What’s more, you should hurry up and pay the taxes. It’s better than you pretending to be pitiful here.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“You have no idea what you’re talking about. Bass’ acting career is ruined even if we pay the taxes.” Jane’s face became distorted as she gnashed her teeth. She had lost her usual dignited and esteemed image of a rich, young lady. “You’re just a bumpkin who claims ties wi man. What right do you have to tell me what to do?”
Hearing that, Chloe looked at Jane as if Jane was stupid. “So, why didn’t he pay his taxes and be a good citizen who abides by the law?”
Sebastian started to feel fear when his crimes were exposed. But compared to sitting mall. having his future destroyed was nothing.
Sebastian was used to leading a good life with him as the center of the universe, so he sup
would not accept becoming an ordinary man.
Chloe’s statement infuriated Jane, and she wanted to drag Chloe out of the car.
Joseph quickly pressed the car horn several times-the piercing sound grinding on the ears. His gaze was cold as he said, “This is my home. It is not a place for you to make a scene.”
Jane shook her fists at the window before she retracted them, still trembling.
Joseph stepped out of the car and walked into the villa, Chloe following behind him.
“Do you think you’ll be able to stay with Joseph forever?” Jane suddenly shouted.
Chloe glanced at the man who had gone up to the second floor. Surprisingly, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Jane. “What do you mean?”
Sarcasm was written all over Jane’s face as if she was staring at a clown. “Do you know why Joseph went abroad and remained unmarried for such a long time?
