Chapter 140 Even if You Spank Me to Death
Startled by Joseph’s touch, Chloe appeared taken aback by his sudden display of affection. Yet, when
he reassured her that he would support her decisions, her heart quickened with a hint of delight.
“Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?” she asked.
“I’ve already told you that you not only represent yourself but also the entire Whitman family.
“But you also told me to keep our relationship a secret…”
“Yes. You can’t expose our relationship in the office, but I didn’t say you can’t do it outside.”
“If the outside world knows of our relationship, it won’t be long before the staff in the office finds out as
well.”
In the era of big data, even the most secretive celebrity couples would be exposed, let alone theirs.
Joseph grew quiet, recognizing that announcing their relationship publicly might not be the wisest
decision. Furthermore, Chloe’s defiant attitude made it necessary for him to evaluate her further.
After all, he was not someone she could effortlessly charm or win over.
“I can still support you without making our relationship public. Just remember that you’re one of the
Whitmans,” he assured her.
“Okay…” Chloe’s clear and radiant eyes lost their sparkle. It turned out he was worried about. her

Her small glimmer of hope was cruelly shattered. She wanted to break free from his embrace, but

allure as he commanded, “Go on.”
“Go on what?” she asked.
“What else did you do wrong today?”
Chloe scratched her head, a hint of confusion appearing on her delicately sculpted face. “I’ve already
admitted my mistakes.”
Harrumphing haughtily, Joseph said, “From now on, I come first while work comes second, and you
must personally take care of my affairs. I was displeased with you sending a strange woman here
today.”
“I didn’t want to either, but everything happened so quickly. You should also understand and consider
my circumstances,” Chloe said.
She was incapable of being in multiple places at once. She had only agreed to cook yesterday
and made no promise to deliver the meal directly to him.
Upon hearing her response, Joseph’s face turned dark.
“How could you compare me to your work?”
“I didn’t say that work compares to you. I can take care of you and be your maid, but I also need my
own space. I admit that I owe all my success to you, but at the same time, I want to achieve something
of my own,” she explained.
She had accepted being tied to him for the next three years, but she could not live solely for
him.
As soon as the words fell, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her buttocks. Her eyes widened in shock
as she turned to look at Joseph, thinking she must be hallucinating.
“Did you just pinch my…buttocks?” she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
“Chloe, I think it’s time for you to understand that you don’t have control over this household. This is the
consequence of disobedience,” Joseph said, delivering a serious reprimand with a stern expression
and furrowed brows.
He still did not understand how to get along with women, let alone how to make them obey. So he
resorted to this simple and crude method. He had even disciplined Toto in a similar manner, except it
was slapped, not pinched.
Chloe’s face turned crimson with embarrassment, and her eyes ablaze with immediately struggled

anger. She
“One last chance. Will you obey?” Joseph asked.
Despite her continued struggles, Chloe found herself unable to break free, for the power imbalance
between them was too great. She gazed up at Joseph, tears welling in her eyes, and defiantly
declared, “Even if you spank me to death, I’ll still stand my ground!”
Veins pulsated on Joseph’s forehead. He then placed his hand on her buttocks before lifting his hand
high in the air.
“All right, as you wish,” he replied.
“Don’t do this. I’m a person with flesh and blood-with dignity. I didn’t do anything wrong, and you
shouldn’t treat me like this… If you don’t like someone else bringing you food, just say it. I’ll try my best
to avoid such situations in the future. But you can’t resort to violence,” Chloe pleaded.
Chloe felt truly aggrieved, her fair and delicate face scrunching up like a wilted flower. Despite her

In that fleeting moment, Joseph realized that his approach had been wrong. Perhaps he should not
have resorted to physical force. A sense of regret washed over him, prompting him to release his grip
on her.
Chloe immediately extricated herself from him, clutching her buttocks and seething with
anger.
Joseph fell into contemplation for a moment before speaking, “Okay, you must inform me in advance if
you have something to attend to.”
He was angry with her because Chloe asked a strange woman to bring him his lunch box without prior
notice. If she had communicated beforehand, he would not have been so angry.
Doubts continued to linger in Chloe’s mind, preventing her from fully believing Joseph’s words.
Nevertheless, she did not want to remain in the same room as him anymore.
A man capable of physical violence was too terrifying.
“I’ll go back to my work now.”
“Hold on.”
Startled, Chloe asked in a trembling voice, “Wh-What is it?”
Observing her reaction, Joseph’s brows furrowed. He had only applied minimal force to the toughest
part of her body.
‘Did it hurt that much? But then again, she’s delicate and tender, so it was only natural for her to feel
pain.’
With that thought in mind, he retrieved a document from the drawer of his desk and said, “I have
