Chapter 158 Will Grandpa Stand By Me?

Lucas acted swiftly, bringing the car over within five minutes.

Jake’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the Rolls-Royce before him. This car looks. familiar.’

After Chloe ended their relationship, she had been sitting in this car with an older man occupying the

front seat. This meant that this car belonged to Joseph, and the so-called older man driving in the front

seat was most likely just the driver!

Jake’s gaze remained fixed on Lucas, who sat in the driver’s seat. Unable to shake himself out of his

stupor, he allowed rainwater to splash onto his face. In a sudden surge of frustration, he lifted his hand

and delivered a sharp slap to his own cheek, startling Lucas.

Lucas turned to Joseph seated in the back and inquired, “Sir, how should we deal with him?”

“Ignore him,” Joseph instructed without so much as looking up.

“Understood.”

With Lucas pressing down on the accelerator, the car sped off, creating a cascade of water that

splashed onto Jake, drenching him from head to toe. However, he made no effort to evade it, his gaze

remained fixed on the direction in which Chloe had left as a wave of emotions swirled within him.

His shoulders sagged in a gesture of defeat. In his eyes, individuals like Joseph held an almost divine

status. At this moment, apart from the 3 million he got from Ava, he had nothing.

Jake trudged through the rain with a heavy heart, allowing the rainwater to pour over him.

As he walked, he reminisced about his past with Chloe. If only he had remained steadfast in his original

intentions and resisted Ava’s seduction, his life might be on a completely different trajectory. Yet, it was

now too late for regrets.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

The sound of his phone ringing mingled with the rhythm of rain resonated through the deserted streets.

In a mechanical manner, Jake retrieved his phone and answered the call.

“Where are you? Come back quickly,” Icarus urged.

Jake had been cast out in the first half of Benjamin’s birthday party, and Chloe had been whisked away

in the second half, leaving him utterly alone.

Upon hearing Icarus’ voice, Jake snapped back to reality and quickly asked, “Uncle, aren’t you with

Chloe? Why did I see her with Joseph…”

He paused, hesitating with his words.

Jake had been cast out in the first half of the party, and Icarus sensed his unspoken question and

paused briefly. “You saw Chloe with Joseph?”

“Yes… What’s your relationship with Chloe?”

“We’re not together. I like her, but she doesn’t like me,” he admitted without hesitation.

Jake was stunned. “So the person Chloe is with is Joseph?”

Icarus remained silent for a moment, the weight of the situation hanging in the air. Then, he released a

deep sigh and said with words filled with a tinge of sorrow, “Chloe has faced certain challenges. Being

with Joseph is a circumstance she was compelled into. Their relationship… Can’t be revealed to the

public.”

Realizing the underlying meaning, Jake was overwhelmed by an immense sense of guilt. He came to

the realization that he had played a significant role in shaping the circumstances that led to this point.

Looking back now, he realized how incredibly selfish and self-centered he had been. He owed Chloe

an apology…

It was a fairly long journey from Fairlight to the Whitman family home-approximately an

hour.

Inside the car, Chloe composed a message to send to Ava, cautioning her against sharing Emily’s

photos and threatening to turn over the recording to the police. After that, she glanced back and asked

the man sitting next to her, “Is Grandpa on good terms with the Foxes?”

“On the surface, yes,” he replied.

“On the surface?” Chloe asked, sensing there was more to it. She continued, “Will Grandpa stand by

me?”

Joseph looked up and replied coolly, “What do you think?” xo.com fast update

‘He treats you even better than me, his grandson.’

Undoubtedly, Harold would stand by her, but he would also likely demand a grandchild.

Chloe did not fully grasp Joseph’s meaning and cautiously said, “I suppose he will?”

“Even if he doesn’t stand by you, you’re my wife. As long as you obey me, I’ll keep you safe.”

Chloe blinked, her cheeks flushed with color. “Your wife?”

“Yes,” Joseph replied matter-of-factly.

Chloe reached up and lightly touched her warm cheeks, feeling an unfamiliar but sweet

affection blossoming within her.

Contemplating the situation, she pondered whether it was necessary for her to disclose her connection

with Jake to Joseph. After all, this was to avoid any misunderstandings or potential manipulations

orchestrated by someone like Jane.

Making up her mind, she licked her dry lips and spoke earnestly, “Actually, 1
