Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 I Believe In My Wife

In the bright light, Joseph’s deep black eyes looked like bottomless pits as he asked, “Is that how you see me?”

Chloe shrunk back a little and whispered, “No…”

However, it was clear that she was not sincere.

Joseph’s forehead twitched as he picked up his phone and called the police.

Chloe panicked and tried to stop him. “No, your uncle will find out!”

Joseph paused for a moment before realizing that she was referring to Tyson.

“So what if he finds out? You’re the victim here. Unless you want to be a coward and pretend you didn’t see anything.”

“Bullsh*t, I’m just worried about you. If Tyson finds out, what will your family think of you?”

“Take care of your own problems first before worrying about others.”

“Huh?” Chloe was taken aback. She was surprised to discover that the man who appeared to lack compassion had a humane side.

Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived. They were the officers that had handled the previous case with Peter.

Chloe’s restless heart calmed down a little when she saw them. She heard that Peter was detained for a few days but was released due to lack of evidence. The case was still under investigation, and the police remembered Chloe.

After learning the situation, they had the technicians delete the screenshots uploaded online. The person who posted the article had clearly come prepared and had tweaked their privacy settings, making it difficult to investigate their IP address, which would take several hours.

The police promised to work overtime and provide results by the following day. They also comforted Chloe and told her to rest assured that they would do their best to bring the culprits to justice.

Afterward, they brought Joseph to the side and spoke to him earnestly, “After the on- site investigation last time, we determined that your wife didn’t do it willingly. She’s a

victim. As a husband, it’s natural to feel uncomfortable in this situation, but your wife Is in even more pain. She needs your comfort and companionship at this time.”

Joseph reacted quickly and understood what they meant. He nodded. “I believe in my wife. I feel more heartache than anyone else to see her suffering. Please resolve this as soon as possible and bring the culprit to justice.”

Joseph and the police were in the living room, so Chloe heard everything clearly. She blinked and sighed, realizing that he was even better at telling lies than she was.

After the police departed, she felt drained and went to her bedroom to try to get an early night’s rest. However, sleep just would not come. She turned and tossed in bed as the screenshots lingered in her mind, causing her to feel overwhelmed by a wave of emotions including shame, anger, grief, confusion, and more.

She could keep her emotions in check in front of Joseph, but when she was alone and it was all quiet, she felt aggrieved as she stared at the dark ceiling. She knew that the culprit behind this had to be Ava, but she had no evidence to prove it.

In the end, she let out a long sigh and swallowed all the grievances. She clutched her teddy bear tightly and closed her eyes.

No matter what, life must go on, and she had to wake up early tomorrow to go to work

and earn money.

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was a flawless blue. As Chloe gazed up at the vast sky, her mood lifted just a little. She had barely arrived at the office when she received a call from the police.

The

person who posted the article had been traced to an IP address overseas. Unfortunately, this did not help much as it was common for internet criminals to use foreign IPs to avoid detection. Despite feeling a twinge of disappointment, Chloe’s gratitude remained sincere as she thanked the officers for their efforts.

“Thank you, officers.”

Determined to focus solely on her work, she threw herself into her tasks for the rest of the day, forcing herself not to dwell on the troubling events that had transpired.

Early in the morning, Jake went to the mall to buy many gifts for the Johnsons as an apology. When he got to the house, Ava greeted him at the door and playfully scolded him, “You don’t have to bring all these gifts when you’re coming here.”

“Yesterday was all my fault. If I had stopped Coco with the security guards, none of that would have happened,” Jake said apologetically.

“Don’t blame yourself. I’m also at fault. I was too eager to make up with Coco and invited her. I didn’t expect my good intentions to end up causing trouble…” Ava hooked her arm around his and said, “Come in and talk. Daddy’s in the living room. By the way, what did your uncle say? Can he help connect us with Patterson?”

As soon as she mentioned Icarus, Jake’s head began to ache. He said, “He says he doesn’t know anyone from Patterson. We’ll have to think of another way.”

Ava’s expression changed, but she suppressed her annoyance and asked, “What should we do then?”

‘You still have the nerves to show up here when you can’t even solve such a trivial matter?’

If Adam had not been avoiding her for several days, they would not have had to rely on Icarus in the first place.

Jake was not in the mood to talk about this. “Let’s put that aside for now. There’s something I need to ask you. You have to answer me seriously because it’ll affect our future.”

“What is it?”

“Did you take the money Coco’s mother left for her?”
