Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 622 Ending a Good Marriage Badly

When Joseph noticed the resoluteness in Chloe's eyes, his words got stuck in his throat.

'Oh, Joseph. Why did you end a good marriage so badly… I made up my mind to talk things out with her, so why are we falling out again?' he thought.

Chloe did not wish to see Joseph, so she took Noah's hand and left with him.

Joseph was frustrated as he stared at them walking away. Lucas got out of the car and said, "Sir, we should go. Vince is waiting for you."

"Mm,” Joseph replied noncommittally. He frowned and got into the car. He had to deal with business first. After he was done, he would look for Chloe again.

Based on the GPS, Lucas drove out of the city and rushed toward the suburbs. "Sir, I read a lot of gossip about you on the Internet."

Joseph became baffled. He was not a star, so why was there gossip about him?

Lucas smiled dryly. "I found it strange and thought it was part of someone's scheme, so I looked into it. My guess was right..."

Joseph took out his phone, opened up the trending page, and immediately saw the gossip about him. He and Xavia were in the top seven trending topics.

"Go on."

Lucas explained, “Many streamers claimed that someone paid them to post those articles, and that person was a singer named Megan Martinez. She's Ms. Xavia's best friend." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Did Xavia have a hand in this?"

"The streamers said no."

Just then, Xavia called Joseph.

"Joe, I'm sorry. My best friend paid for those public opinions to be posted on the Internet. I didn't know about it either... I'll try my best to remedy it. Can you please find trouble with Megan over this?" Her tone was weak and gentle, setting up a pitiful front that easily softened people's hearts.

Joseph said curtly, "It's fine. I'm busy. Bye."

Lucas was stunned and asked, "Sir, shouldn’t we get rid of those articles?”

It was not a serious issue and would not influence Fairlight, but if Joseph still loved Chloe, it would be bad if the latter read those articles.

"No, it's fine," Joseph said glumly, "The Sinclairs are currently watching me and the people around me. These trending topics will serve to divert their attention. I'll let them figure out if the articles are true or not."

Lucas widened his eyes as he was enlightened. "I see. So this is so Duskfall won’t know who you truly care about and won’t know who to target.”

But Xavia would then be burdened. She and Chloe would be on the same level.

Joseph gave no reply and stared out of the window with a complicated gaze. This was one of the reasons why he wanted to lock Chloe up. He was afraid that Duskfall would harm her. Secondly, it was because of his own selfish motives.

Harold was right—he would be forced to face these issues if he chose one of the two. When he compared Xavia's child to Chloe, he knew whom he would choose if pushed toward a steep cliff. He

would pay Xavia a large sum of money after she gave birth and would then never see her again. The child would then grow up healthy and happy after he gave the child to Tyson.

Duskfall.

Xavia elegantly served some tea to a noble-looking middle-aged man before her. "Mr. Cyrus, please have some tea."
