Chapter 285 Joseph Learned the Truth
Joseph snatched Emily’s phone and smashed it hard on the floor.
Emily was awakened by the noise. When she opened her eyes and saw Joseph, she smiled foolishly as if in a trance. “Uncle? Why are you here?”
In a fit of rage, Joseph’s fury twisted into a scornful smile, unveiling a flawless set of pearly white teeth. “Why are you calling me uncle?” he asked.
“It’s because you’re Jake’s uncle.”
“Why does Chloe want to be with the uncle?”
“You silly! She wants to take revenge on that scumbag Jake, of course!”
A tinge of sadness flashed across Joseph’s cold eyes before deep wrath engulfed him. It turned out that Chloe’s target at the beginning was Icarus. No wonder she treated him differently.
‘So, she settled for second best and chose me?’
Joseph could no longer stay there. He was afraid that he would do something extreme if he lost control of himself and proceeded to storm out of the room.
Chloe was not worthy of him touching her. Even the thought of hitting her felt disgusting.
Lucas hurried after Joseph and said with trepidation, “Are we going to leave Ms. Chloe and her friend here? It’s a bit dangerous for two drunk girls to be alone.”
Joseph stopped in his tracks and said cruelly, “What does her safety have to do with me? Or can you not bear to leave her alone?”
Lucas immediately fell silent and did not dare to say anything anymore.
Sitting in the car, Joseph uttered “Villa” before falling silent.
When he was back home, he went upstairs to fish out the contract. Without even looking at it, he ferociously tore it apart and threw it into the dustbin.
Chloe was woken up by a waiter.
“Miss, our restaurant is going to close soon. Do you and your friend need help getting a cab?”
Chloe looked at the darkening sky outside, wondering why Joseph had not arrived yet.
“Okay, we’ll leave right away.” Clutching her dizzy head, she got up from the table. She then woke Emily who was beside her.
However, Emily could not find her phone. She looked down and found her phone on the floor,
smashed into pieces. Great heartache overwhelmed her as she thought of getting a new phone.
They helped each other out of the restaurant. When the cold wind attacked them, Chloe soon. sobered up. After helping Emily to settle down, she hailed a cab.
After getting into the car, she texted Joseph. But after she hit the send button, she got back a red exclamation mark. She became dumbfounded. ‘Did Joseph block me?’
Unwilling to accept it, she tried to call him. However, a cold mechanical voice greeted her, revealing that he had even blocked her number.
All of this had happened too suddenly, so she could only ask Lucas about it.
Lucas swiftly picked up her call, sounding much more indifferent toward her now. But Chloe did not care about that. She went straight to the point and asked if something had happened with Joseph. Otherwise, why would he block her for no reason? Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ms. Chloe, Mr. Joseph learned of your purpose in approaching him.”
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. Her mind went blank and her lips trembled. “How did it happen?”
“It was because of your friend.”
Chloe roughly surmised the cause and effect. Joseph had come to the restaurant but Emily was drunk and had accidentally played the recording. She knew that Joseph would learn about the truth one day but she had not expected it to happen now.
And they had just made their relationship public.
The driver drove with a steady hand and they arrived at the villa half an hour in advance.
Glancing at the brightly-lit villa, Chloe became timid. ‘I think Joseph will hate to see me now.’
When the driver saw that she had not gotten out of the car, he inquired, “Miss, is it not the right place?”
