Chapter 781 She Might Be In Grave Danger
Chloe had heard about this from Joseph, but hearing it from a child gave off a different feeling. Children were naturally innocent and incapable of lying.
At that moment, her impression of Noah changed again.
Jasper was clever and quick-witted, and he knew the progress of Joseph and Chloe's relationship. Since Chloe showed up at Fairlight, it proved her heart was leaning toward his dad.
He rolled his eyes and pinched his thigh, forcing himself to squeeze out two drops of tears. He said pitifully, "Your fiance also told me I should stop looking for you. Ms. Chloe, do you not like me? If you don't like me, I’ll stop bothering you.”
Lucas' eyes widened in shock. Was this the same little devil he knew, now whining and acting cute? Why was he being such an obedient child in front of Ms. Chloe?
“Don’t cry. Of course, I like you.” Chloe's heart melted. She hurriedly bent down to wipe his tears and comforted him softly.
Jasper nodded earnestly. “I knew you wouldn’t, Ms. Chloe, so it must be your fiance who dislikes me.”
Chloe was stunned. She looked up and locked eyes with Joseph. The latter shrugged and said, “Don’t look at me. These are Jas’ heartfelt words.”
"I'm not blaming you." Chloe exhaled a long sigh. "But what should we do now? If Vanya continues to stay in the Sullivan manor, I'm afraid she...she’ll be in grave danger.”
"We can't alert Noah right now."
"Do you expect me to just sit back and wait for something bad to happen?"
"No.” Joseph looked at her deeply. "Tell the truth as it is. Continue suspecting that our child is not dead. This is the only way. No matter what you do, it’ll be justified."
Chloe seemed to understand. "I see. So we can't show our hand right now?"
"No. Firstly, there's no concrete evidence. Second, Zoelle is a strange one. If we take Vanya away, she probably won't cooperate. Lastly, by holding our cards close, we maintain an advantage. This is an opportunity to pressure Vanya into revealing the truth."
Vanya was currently staying at the Sullivans. If Noah sensed something unusual, he would refrain from eliminating this threat too quickly, partly because Chloe was present. There needed to be a process.
Chloe's eyes bore a determined look as she steeled her resolve. "Okay, I know what to do."
Joseph glanced at her. He said in a tone tinged with complexity, "Also, don't get your hopes up too much for the child." He knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
She remained silent, her mind set on the matter. The moment Cyrus had taken out that photo, she came to believe in the mother-child connection. She was certain she was not fantasizing. Her child was alive. She had never believed in anything so strongly.
Not long after Chloe left Fairlight, someone from Imperium's information department called Joseph to deliver a report. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Sir, we have the results.”
“Tell me.”
“Chloe's schedule for the past week has been mostly normal, except for five nights ago when she went shopping and encountered Xavia. During that time, she also had a brief chat with an unknown
man.”
“An unknown man? Can you describe his appearance?”
“The details have been sent to your email, sir.”
Since this all happened in a mall, the information department easily found this information. They hacked into the mall's surveillance system and sent Joseph the video of Chloe chatting with Cyrus. He opened the email, and upon seeing the middle-aged man in the video, his brows furrowed deeply.
What exactly did Cyrus tell Chloe?
Suddenly, he remembered Chloe’s desperate desire to meet his mother a few days ago. Tomorrow would be the day they had agreed on.

Chloe went to the office and found Desmond waiting for her. He asked calmly, “Did you and Noah have a fight?”
