Chapter 508 Confronting Preston in the Bedroom With a Cleaver
Joseph could not understand. “Will sending this text actually make Chloe happy?”
“Absolutely, I guarantee it.”
“Then get me Hazel’s number. I don’t have it.”
Although it seemed unnecessary, he was willing to do it if it would make the dumbo happy.
At 8 o’clock in the evening, Hazel received a message. As she read its contents, her face contorted in anger. She reassured herself, ‘Chloe must be using Joseph’s phone to send this! Joseph is a noble and cultured person. He would never utter such vulgar and indecent words.”
At this moment, Xavia learned that Hazel had gone to Fairlight to find Joseph. She delicately peeled off her face mask, revealing a sly smile as she softly chuckled, “She wants a piece of the action too?”
Vanya said, “Seems like it.”
“She’s overestimating herself. Even if I let her do as she pleases, she doesn’t hold a candle to Chloe.”
Hazel was a pawn that S had arranged for and deployed as bait three years ago. The purpose was to test Xavia’s position in Joseph’s heart and her suitability. She would be called into action only if she was deemed suitable.
Hazel was not a member of Duskfall and was only paid to play a role. Nevertheless, her reappearance now was quite intriguing.
Vanya observed the surroundings from the balcony through a pair of binoculars and said, “We can ignore Hazel and let her wander around in front of Chloe. After all, she’s just portraying your presence.”
“I think so too,” Xavia replied, taking a seat in front of the dressing table. “It’s getting late and I want to go to bed. You should head on back.”
After a brief pause, a look of disgust crossed Xavia’s face as she added, “Make sure to avoid that nosy old snoop’s surveillance. Ugh, it’s so annoying.” Instead of monitoring her, it would be better if he just kicked the bucket already. Out of sight, out of mind, and much more convenient.
Vanya nodded, “Don’t look for me tomorrow. I’m meeting that guy Noah to see if he’s interested in cooperating.”
“Okay. I also have to go for a prenatal check-up.”
“T-31 days. Once the amniocentesis is done, Chloe can fuck off!’
As evening fell, Lucas delivered the damning evidence of Preston’s affair to Octavia. The moment she laid eyes on the incriminating proof, a torrent of emotions surged within her, giving way to an uncontrollable rage. She rushed to the kitchen to grab a cleaver and stormed into the bedroom to confront Preston.
The night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Joseph woke
up in his villa the next morning, greeted by a phone call from Patrick “Mr. Joseph, it appears that Mr. Harold’s condition has deteriorated. His spirits have been low, and he barely ate anything yesterday.”
“Make sure that the doctors conduct a comprehensive examination. If there are no serious issues, bring him back to the family home. Don’t let Preston and his family into the ward.”
“But….Mr. Harold might feel sympathetic…”
Joseph let out a sigh and said softly, “Let him do as he pleases but make it clear that we won’t provide any support or money. That’s my bottom line.”
“Understood. I’ll convey the message to Mr. Harold.”
After a quick wash-up, Joseph set out to find Chloe. At Oceanic Residence, a group of people. who were out for some morning exercise were gathered together and discussing something animatedly.
“Talk to her respectfully. Why are you bullying a woman?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Yeah, be careful that we call the cops on you.”
“Why are you resorting to violence against a woman?”
“Let go of her!”
The crowd’s persuasion had no effect on Jonathan’s enraged state. On the contrary, their words further provoked him. He aggressively pulled at Chloe’s hair, causing her intense pain and nearly eliciting a scream from her.
“What do any of you know? This is the woman who ruined my family!”
If Chloe had not married into the family, Jonathan and his father could have continued on peacefully in the company. His parents could have enjoyed a good life without reaching the point of divorce. This despicable woman must have drugged Joseph and driven their entire family out, all in an attempt to seize the family fortune for herself.
