Chapter 162 Joseph Will Be Mine
Harold knew that Richard was deliberately stirring up trouble.
But it was indeed too demeaning for Richard, so it was hard for him to get out of the humiliating situation with grace.
After the storm was over, the sunlight shone in through the glass window and fell on Joseph’s cold and stiff face. He impatiently shot a sidelong glance at Harold.
‘Grandpa wants to maintain a sense of decency, but he refuses to suffer the losses either. Well, if he wants to be the good guy, so be it. I’ll be the bad guy. It’s all wishful thinking.”
“Grandpa. Jojo.”
A pleasant voice came from upstairs. Joseph looked over and saw Chloe standing at the top of the stairs, looking charming as can be. At that moment, she was smiling. “I’ve finished my bath.”
Her smile was so bright that it inexplicably soothed Joseph’s frustration. She slowly ambled down the steps.
Harold turned all his attention to Chloe when she appeared. He immediately asked, “Chloe, how did the check-up go?”
“I’m fine.” She reached downstairs and walked to Joseph before she lowered her voice and said, “Let’s stop here. The Foxes even mentioned the previous generation. What’s more, their apology was pretty good. Don’t embarrass Grandpa. Maybe he thinks that this matter alone. isn’t enough to fall out with them. Take it slow. At most, I’ll infuriate Jane more in the future, so her father can’t always manipulate the former friendship.”
After eavesdropping for a while upstairs, she roughly learned about the ins and outs of the incident and was enlightened.
Joseph wanted to manipulate the incident of Jane bullying Chloe to cut off the business ties. with the Foxes, and his first step was to ruin Sebastian. He would then have a proper reason to cut off the sky- high endorsement fee. Moreover, he could grab the chance to put an end to the
cooperation. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Frankly, Chloe was a bit sad when she realized that he was not protecting her sincerely. She yearned to be protected and cared for, so she could be a little girl without any worries.
That kind of person might appear in the future, but Joseph would never be that
person.
He was a businessinan, so he always valued interests and profits more than anything. She should be considerate.
Joseph then glanced at her face which was still wet with water droplets clinging to it. He moved his fingers slightly, but he held himself back.
“I just find the Foxes an eyesore. What makes you think I’ll listen to you when I don’t even listen to Grandpa?”
Chloe echoed his words, “Yes, me too! I find Jane an eyesore. Why don’t I infuriate her now?”
Joseph was stunned for a while.
In the next second, she grabbed his arm before bringing her soft face to him, saying considerately and gently, “Darling, I know that you’re worried about me. But I’m fine, aren’t 1? Don’t fall out with them just
because of me. Maybe Ms. Jane loves you too much. Don’t blame her.”
Jane instantly fumed with anger when she noticed the drastic change in Chloe’s attitude. Besides, Joseph did not repulse Chloe’s intimate touch. He even cracked a faint smile.
Consequently, Jane was driven mad by her envy. “What’s with the act? This is all because of you but now you’re acting all innocent. Are you trying to make me sick?!”
When Jane roared at her, Chloe pretended to be scared and hugged Joseph’s waist before she hid in his arms. Her clear eyes were full of terror, and she appeared quite pitiful.
Harold stood up all of a sudden and shouted, “Chloe did no wrong! Are you trying to drive her mad?!”
Richard’s face turned livid. They had just smoothed the tenseness, and now it had worsened. He was too ashamed to say anything now, so he forcefully dragged Jane away.
He knew full well of his daughter’s character. Everything would be over if she acted dumb, but she insisted on making a scene no matter what.
It was inadvisable to take others as fools when they made compromises.
Chloe watched them leave and smiled happily. “Don’t make a scene for a man. This world is full of men. It’s not worth it.”
Jane gritted her teeth and yearned to tear Chloe into pieces.
‘After that b*tch appeared, even Mr. Harold took her side when he’s usually very nice to me. How wonderful!
‘Even if I can’t marry into the Whitman family, Joseph will be mine.
‘I’m curious how Chloe will accept a compromise and make a scene then.’
