Chapter 576 Otto Comes Looking For Chloe
Tyson stood there in shock, his face filled with astonishment. He blurted out, "Pregnant? So soon?"
Chloe just had an abortion a little while ago. Only a month or two months had passed since then, so how was she pregnant again? How was that possible?'
Joseph could be forgiven as he had no clue, but how could Chloe not know how to cherish herself as a woman? After all, her health should come first no matter what.
Frowning, Joseph asked, "What do you mean by 'so soon?’” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"You don't know?" Tyson spewed, "How many months has it been?"
"Four," Joseph replied.
Drawing upon his years of investigative experience, things started to make sense in Tyson's mind. It seemed that Chloe did go through with the abortion and instead told Joseph that the child in her womb was his.
'My goodness… Young people nowadays are bold. They're full of lies.'
"Do you know something?" Joseph's gaze fixed upon Tyson, his eyes sharp and penetrating. Though his expression remained devoid of emotion, his stare held the intensity of a commanding officer scrutinizing his subordinates.
Eloise, impatient and agitated, urged, "If you have something to say, say it. Stop beating around the bush."
Tyson took a deep breath and looked at Joseph with sympathy in his eyes. "It's highly likely that the child in Chloe's womb isn’t yours."
His words hit Joseph like a bolt of lightning, causing his heart to tremble.
Eloise's face turned pale with shock, and she cursed at Tyson, "What nonsense are you spouting? If the child isn't Joseph's, then whose is it?"
"Let him continue," Joseph said.
Tyson recounted the series of events in which Chloe had asked him for help in concealing her pregnancy.
"Did she clearly tell you that the child isn’t mine?" Joseph inquired.
"No, she didn't," Tyson replied.
"The child is mine then. I believe in Chloe," Joseph said, his tone firm.
He was willing to trust her. He would not question her as he had in the past. He would make an effort to learn how to love someone. Besides, they had engaged in sexual relations four months ago.
Tyson intended to say more, but Eloise stopped him with a shake of her head. After Joseph left, she glared at him. "You should just zip your lips. Nobody will think any less of you. Who do you think Joseph is? His mind is as clear as a mirror. He doesn't need your advice."
"I was just trying to help... They were already divorced at the time. How could they have conceived a child together?" Tyson weakly countered.
"Shut up. Just because they were divorced doesn't mean they didn’t have contact. Maybe they had a simple argument and acted passionately in the heat of the moment. Don't meddle in matters that don't concern you," Eloise admonished him.

At the Johnson Group, the receptionist called Chloe. "Ma’am, someone is here to discuss a potential collaboration."
"I don't recall having any appointments today," Chloe replied.
"That's what I told them too..."
Chloe sensed a hint of unease in the receptionist's tone and assumed that she was facing a dilemma. She sighed. "Never mind. What’s the person’s name and what kind of collaboration are they proposing? If they meet the criteria, you can let them in."
"H-He said his name is Otto Sinclair."
Chloe's eyebrows sharply went up. "Tell all the guards to stop him. I'm coming down right now."

As Chloe descended, she caught sight of Otto harassing the young receptionist. She snapped, "Get your grubby paws off her!"
