The security guard’s eyes widened, displaying a perplexed expression as he struggled to comprehend the situation. Meanwhile, Joseph expertly maneuvered the steering wheel, moving the car into the parking lot.
“What were you thinking, Joseph? Why did you reveal our relationship to the guard?” Chloe asked, her voice raised and bristled like an enraged cat. She could not understand Joseph’s reasoning behind his actions.
Maintaining an air of nonchalance, Joseph casually responded, “Isn’t that what you wanted me to
do?”
“I wanted you to hurry up and leave so that the guard wouldn’t figure out our relationship!”
He shrugged, pretending innocence. “I must’ve misinterpreted your intention.”
Chloe knew Joseph had done it deliberately, but she lacked evidence to prove her suspicion. Never speak out of turn like that again in the future,” she said.
Observing her indignant expression, Joseph swelled with a sense of satisfaction. “It depends on my mood.”
As Chloe made her way to her cubicle to retrieve her laptop, a colleague nearby playfully remarked, “Chloe, you took the day off today, and Mr. Joseph didn’t come into the office either. Some people might think you two planned this.”
Chloe’s hand trembled, causing her to nearly lose her grip on her laptop.
“I was just joking. Look at how scared you got as if it were true,” the colleague quickly clarified.
Chloe laughed, though her expression held more sadness than joy. “Who knows? Maybe one day it’ll come true.”
The colleague’s smile froze, replaced by a hint of surprise. “You certainly have confidence in yourself,” he commented, subtly acknowledging her unwavering belief.
It took about an hour to travel from Aesper to the Whitman family home. As Chloe wrapped up her work on the way and closed her laptop, the car came to a halt, reaching its destination.
Stepping out of the car, she glanced at the numerous luxury cars parked outside the house. -Among them, a familiar white Maybach caught her eye. She paused for a moment and asked, “Are
there going to be a lot of people here today?”
“Yeah.” Joseph nonchalantly raised an eyebrow. “Feeling nervous?”
“Not at all. I’ve been a part of grand events before. I’m just curious about who Grandpa invited to such a large gathering.”
“There are family members and business associates.” Joseph paused for a moment. “Diego is here
too.”
The Whitmans’ business was rooted in Docwood, and their connections primarily revolved around that region. The Baileys, on the other hand, made their fortune in the seafood industry, and the largest seafood market in Docwood belonged to them.
According to Lucas’s finding, Diego was the second son of the Baileys, with a significant chance of competing for the inheritance. Prior to this, Joseph had no particular impression of this individual.
When Chloe heard this name, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and she clenched her fists silently. This man was indirectly responsible for her mother’s death.
Sensing the change in her mood, Joseph tightly wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered, “Do you want revenge?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes!” Chloe responded without hesitation.
“Then do as you wish today.”
“Today is your family event… It could tarnish your family’s reputation. It’s fine. I’ll focus on seeking revenge against the Johnsons instead.”
Diego may be an irresponsible scumbag, but the true culprits who caused her mother’s death were Benjamin and Karen.
Joseph chuckled softly, his handsome face suffused with a warm tenderness. How could he let this sensible woman bear grievances and suffer silently? 1
The Whitman family home was vast, hosting many influential figures. Chloe and Joseph stuck by Harold’s side as he introduced them to each important individual present. To their surprise,
among the distinguished guests, Calvin was also present, accompanied by a gentle and refined young man by his side.
Chloe’s eyes briefly flickered with surprise when she saw Calvin, but she quickly regained her composure and nodded lightly in his direction. She was astonished that she had the chance to meet
this kind-hearted young man again after their encounter on the road.
Unaware of the intricate connections between them, Harold pulled Chloe to stand beside Calvin and proudly proclaimed, “This is my obedient granddaughter-in-law. She’s far more beautiful than those small-time stars in your company, isn’t she?”
