Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 623 Chloe Is Seen With Noah

Cyrus accepted the cup, took a sip, and put it down. "Joseph apprehended Vanya when she tried to kill Chloe for you."

Xavia looked up in shock. "Didn't she run away into the mountains?"

"Yes, she did, but she failed to escape."

Xavia’s voice went up an octave. "Will she expose us?"

Cyrus' hand stiffened. He then turned and stared at her. Xavia became nervous under his gaze. She quickly changed her statement. "I didn't mean it that way, sir... It’s just that Joe’s attitude toward me has taken a drastic turn recently. If an accident happens now, all our efforts will be futile."

Cyrus was currently in his forties and his white suit made him look sprightly. His bright and spirited demeanor marked him as a refined teacher. A smile slowly dawned upon his face, but it was cold and unreadable, sending chills down Xavia's spine.

"Are you saying that Joseph has fallen in love with you?"

"I'm not sure about that... He has been treating me much better than before. He even bought me a car." Xavia trembled in fear. She kept her head low and did not dare to look at the man. "I was careless with my words. Please don’t be mad.”

"Tell me. What was Vanya's mission?"

Xavia replied obediently, "She was supposed to help me get rid of Chloe."

"Well then, why is Chloe safe and sound while Joseph suffered a broken rib?"

When he mentioned this, Xavia quickly came to a realization. "It’s because Joe protected Chloe!"

Vanya had meant to hit Chloe with that stone, but Joseph took the hit for that bitch. He had been so nice toward Xavia recently that she had ignored the obvious signs. This made her feel ill at ease as she could not figure out what Joseph was thinking.

Cyrus saw through her thoughts. He put the teacup aside and said, "There are two possibilities. It might be that he’s pretending and using you as bait to protect Chloe, or it could be that his attitude toward you has changed but he still can’t forget about Chloe."

Xavia could not accept either of those possibilities. Why should she be the bait to protect Chloe?

"You are to rescue Vanya," Cyrus ordered.

Xavia had a change in expression and her lips trembled. "Sir, I don’t think I can manage that, and Joe may catch on to me."

What she had now was hard-earned. It was too risky for her to rescue Vanya, and she did not want to take the risk.

Cyrus got up and patted her shoulder. "Use this chance to test his feelings for you. See if they're genuine or fake."

Joseph was a fierce man. Although she was a woman, he had no intentions of going easy on her since she nearly killed him. But she vehemently refused to say a word. Even after fainting from being electrocuted, she remained tight-lipped about Duskfall.

Vince approached Joseph and asked eagerly, "Sir, what should we do? Should we continue interrogating her?"

"Keep her alive for three days. If she refuses to talk by then, throw her into the ocean.”

"Okay. She is a wicked one, after all. We'll be doing the world a favor.”

Joseph took a white handkerchief and meticulously wiped his hands clean. He then asked,

"Where's Chloe?"

Although he had not contacted Chloe for the past two days, he had secretly ordered bodyguards to tail her. Hence, he knew everywhere she went.

"Ms. Chloe is currently at a cafe with Mr. Noah," Vince answered.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
