Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 801 Joseph the Lovestruck Fool

It was a simple question, but it sounded worlds different to the finance director. He trembled and nearly fell on his knees. "Sir, it's not my fault. We weren’t trying to ride Ms. Chloe's popularity. The netizens have been talking about her, and surprisingly, our sales improved too."

The finance director was a long-time employee of Fairlight, so he was well aware that Joseph was once married to Chloe. But for some unknown reason, they got a divorce. During the years she had been away, no one in Fairlight dared to mention her name. It became a forbidden topic.

Joseph looked up with even deeper confusion in his eyes. "What are you saying?"

The finance director was surprised. "Don't you know, sir?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"What am I supposed to know?"

The finance director brought up the trending news page on his phone. “Take a look at this, sir."

Joseph took the phone. The screen was filled with photos of Chloe from when she was in elementary school up until she entered the working world. The helpful netizens had even organized them into a timeline.

He touched the screen gently and ignored the mean comments. As his gaze was glued to Chloe's photos, the coldness in his eyes was replaced with tenderness. Her face had been a little smaller back in elementary school, and it was so chubby.

She looked a little silly but she had won a lot of trophies. And she had learned the piano during middle school. No wonder she played so well. She then became stunning during high school and university. Even when she wore no makeup, her confidence was as clear as day.

There was a photo of Chloe’s classmates and her celebrating her birthday together. Her face was smeared with cake, but her smile was as bright as ever as she held up a peace sign to the camera.

Her youthfulness enticed Joseph to linger on the photo. How nice it would be if he had gotten to know her back in school. There was no doubt he would have tried to win her over then. He would protect and give her all his love. After that, they would get married after graduation.

After waiting for an hour, the finance director asked, "Sir, may I know if you are done..." His legs were numb from standing.

Joseph enlarged Chloe's photos and looked at them a little while more. He then turned off the phone and handed it back. "Email those photos to me."

The finance director was rendered speechless. Joseph looked like he was addressing the air. When did he become such a lovestruck fool?

Joseph instructed Lucas to print the photo of Chloe at her birthday party and put it in a photo frame on his desk. He could then just look up and see her whenever he was at work.

Joseph held off going to the Sullivan manor for a few days since there were some problems with his overseas business.

Noah, busy handling public opinion, ignored Vanya.

At seven o'clock at night, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the entrance of the Sullivan manor. Joseph had called Desmond earlier to inform the latter about his visit. The security guards had been informed, so they let Joseph in.

Joseph bumped into Noah after he got out of the car.

Noah stopped in his tracks and looked Joseph up and down. He then faked a smile and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming over?"

Joseph chuckled and smoothed his clothes. He replied calmly, "The elders are going to talk. It's none of your business."

A sense of gloominess invaded Noah's eyes. "You contacted Grandpa?"

"You can come up and listen if you're so curious." Joseph started walking away.

Noah glanced at Chloe's bedroom. After three seconds, he followed Joseph.
