Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 557

Chapter 557 How Dare She

A wave of relief washed over Chloe as the message was sent. From now on, she did not have to compromise or accept that child. And she would not have to see Xavia anymore. She yearned to leave behind this unhealthy relationship and pursue a normal life.

Curling up on the couch, she gazed out the window at the soaring birds in the sky, longing for the same sense of freedom. In the past, when the Johnsons had oppressed her, her dream was to earn enough money to travel across the country. But now that she had the money, she was carrying a child…

Life was just never perfect.

Chloe’s mind was in turmoil, yet oddly clear at the same time. She sat quietly for a while before calling Emily to assure her that she was safe.

“What?! You broke up with Joseph?!” Emily’s voice boomed through the phone, resonating in Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe’s ears.

“Yes, and lower your voice. My ear is ringing,” Chloe replied.

“Sorry, I was just really surprised,” Emily apologized, “You initiated the breakup?”

“Yes. After Xavia was confirmed to be pregnant with Joseph’s child, she wasted no time in seeing him as soon as she received the amniocentesis results. She made quite a spectacle in

front of me.”

“Ugh, does she have no shame? Is getting pregnant with someone else’s husband something to be proud of?”

“Let’s not talk about her. I might turn off my phone for a while, so if you need anything, send me a text, and I’ll reply when I see it.”

“Are you worried that Joseph will bother you?”

Pinching her brow, Chloe said self-mockingly, “Bother me? I’ll be grateful as long as het doesn’t get angry.”

Given Joseph’s terrible temper, it was unlikely he would tolerate being dumped. Maybe he would not even call her. She had been deluding herself.

“But it’s his fault…” Emily grumbled in dissatisfaction.

It took two to tango. Even if Xavia was problematic, Joseph was equally at fault too.

“I went back on my words too. I can’t accept that kid.”

“Don’t blame yourself for everything. This isn’t your fault.” Emily’s voice carried strength as she reassured Chloe. “Even if you’ve lost love, you still have friendship. Whatever decision you make, I’ll support you. Don’t underestimate yourself, your prime years have just begun.

Besides, it’s cool to be a hot mom!”

Chloe was touched, her eyes welling up with tears. People came and went in her life, but Emily had been there for her since the beginning and not left. This friendship was rare and precious.

“Yes, I will. I’ll plan my future life well,” Chloe replied.

The two of them spent an hour on the phone, pouring out their thoughts and emotions. After ending the call, Chloe turned off her phone.

At Fairlight.

Several business partners smiled, their faces filled with wrinkles and their muscles tense.

“Mr. Joseph, please feel free to share any opinions you have about the project. We’ll make the necessary changes to the contract until you’re satisfied.”

Joseph glanced at them casually, twirling an expensive pen in his hand. “Do you not

understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? I’m not interested in real estate at the moment.”

“Mr. Joseph, please take another look. It’ll only take a few minutes of your time. We’re very sincere about this,” one of the men continued to plead, refusing to give up so easily.

“Sir, you have a message,” Lucas said as he came in with Joseph’s phone.

Concerned about missing a call from Chloe because of the morning meeting, Joseph handed his phone to Lucas for safekeeping.

“Give it to me,” Joseph said.

“Here you go, sir,” Lucas replied respectfully.

“Wait.” Joseph picked up the phone and read the message, his expression indifferent. “Escort them out.”

Understanding his intention, Lucas politely gestured to the developers. “Please gentlemen,

this way.

“We can’t leave yet. Briarlake is targeting us from every angle. They want to monopolize the real estate market. We have no way out, which is why we sought Mr. Joseph’s help.”

“You’re the only person who can help us, Mr. Joseph.”

“Yes. Mr. Joseph, please lend us a hand.”

They had heard that Otto and Joseph had an altercation at an auction event some time ago. They thought that there was only one person who could stand up to Brairlake, and that was the man before them.

Upon hearing the mention of Brairlake, Lucas paused and looked toward Joseph. The latter paid no attention to their words. A stunned expression dawned on his handsome face, and he even momentarily thought he was hallucinating. He stood there, dazed for a few seconds, before looking back at the text on his phone.

‘It’s true… Chloe just broke up with me. How dare this dumbo break up with me!”
