Chapter 240 I’ve Decided to Pursue Mr. Joseph
At this moment, Chloe found it difficult to turn down his invitation. She decided to agree for now and
come up with an excuse later. Although she had no intention of attending his
birthday party, she still intended to offer him gifts.
Upon arriving at the marketing department, Chloe took notice of a recent addition to the team. Wendy
was currently on maternity leave, and Ellie had been dismissed. The sudden shortage of staff left them
overwhelmed with their workload. The HR department had initiated recruitment the previous week, and
today marked the first day for the new employee.
Sophia Reynolds exuded a keen sense of style in her attire. With a strikingly beautiful face and an
alluring figure, rumors circulated that she had recently returned from studying abroad.
Exuding open-mindedness and enthusiasm, Sophia quickly formed connections with her colleagues
within a single day.
When Sophia saw Chloe, she cheerfully approached her. “You must be Chloe, right? I’m the new girl.
Feel free to call me Fia.”
Chloe nodded slightly. “Nice to meet you, Fia.”
Initially, Chloe did not pay much attention to Sophia until a situation arose where a document needed to
be delivered to Joseph’s office. Without hesitation, Sophia volunteered, setting aside her current task.
“I’ll take care of it. I’ll personally deliver the document to Mr. Joseph’s
office.”

A colleague expressed their concern and asked, “Are you sure, Fia? You just started and might not be
familiar with the work…”
“It’s fine. I used to work in Marketing overseas, and I’ve admired Mr. Joseph for a long time. This is my
chance to see him in person. I’ll be so excited tonight that I won’t be able to sleep. Please trust me. I
promise I won’t mess it up,” Sophia pleaded in a sweet and charming tone.
Reluctantly, the colleague agreed, repeatedly reminding her to deliver the document and not say
anything unnecessary as Joseph detested chatty individuals.
“Okay, I understand!”
Fifteen minutes later, Sophia returned. Curiosity got the better of her, and she asked her colleagues,
“Do you know if Mr. Joseph has a girlfriend?”
Upon hearing this, Chloe’s fingers paused on the keyboard.
“I don’t think so.”
“He never mentioned having one.”
“As low-level employees, how would we know about Mr. Joseph’s personal life? But I believe
there’s a 99% chance he’s single.”
Sophia’s face lit up with a radiant smile as she confidently announced her decision, “That’s perfect. I’ve
made up my mind-I’m going to pursue Mr. Joseph!”
“Ah…but our company doesn’t allow office romances…”
“Rules are meant to be broken,” Sophia said with unwavering confidence, “Worst-case scenario, once I
win over Mr. Joseph, I’ll resign and enjoy life as a wealthy wife. That wouldn’t
be bad at all.”
Her colleagues exchanged glances, masking their incredulity with polite smiles.
Meanwhile, after the house party, Calvin could not shake off an unsettling feeling that grew stronger
with each passing moment. Why did Chloe bear such a striking resemblance to Luciana compared to
Ava?
Calvin held Luciana’s photograph in his hands, studying it for a long while. An inconceivable thought
emerged, but he swiftly dismissed it. ‘It can’t be. It just can’t be! There’s no way I’d make such a stupid
mistake!’
After careful consideration, he called Ava.
“Ava, what are you doing right now?”
Ava glanced at the nearby Karen and responded softly, “Godpa, I’m in the office reviewing reports. Is
there something you need to tell me?”
Since she broke up with Wyatt, Calvin had urged her to focus more on the company and minimize her
public appearances.
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to ask if the diamond necklace around your neck was left to you by your
mother,” Calvin asked.
Upon hearing this, Ava immediately became cautious. She anxiously sought help from Karen, who
patted her back, signaling her not to panic.
Karen silently mouthed a few words to Ava. While observing her lip movements, Ava answered, “Yes, it
was indeed left to me by my mother.”
Calvin chuckled inwardly, realizing his own foolishness. After all, Ava and Chloe were of the same age,
so there was nothing to doubt. He briefly expressed concern for her before ending

Ava breathed a sigh of relief and said anxiously, “What should we do, Mom? Calvin only took me in as
his goddaughter because of the necklace. He must know that woman’s mother.”
If Calvin were to discover that the necklace did not actually belong to her, he would certainly take back
everything she had now.

Karen was much calmer than Ava, and she reassured, “Don’t worry. Just keep saying that it’s yours.
Chloe doesn’t know Calvin.”
“That’s right. That b*tch doesn’t know Calvin. As long as they don’t cross paths and bring up the
necklace, who would know? Perhaps, all of this is rightfully mine!”
With Ava settled, Karen checked the time and said, “I’m going downstairs to meet a friend. When you
go home tonight, remember to talk to your father about Calvin and be careful not to let slip.”
“Got it. Who are you meeting, Mom?” Ava inquired.
Karen’s eyes flickered. “You don’t know them. It’s someone I met at the beauty salon.”
“I see,” Ava replied.
In a secluded corner of the cafe, Karen glared angrily at the man sitting across from her, struggling to
contain her emotions. “Why did you tell Calvin about our past?”
“That should be my question! Why did you shamelessly bring up our past? Aren’t you worried that
Benjamin will find out about us?” Diego retorted, seething with anger.
“It wasn’t me!”
There was no way she would expose anything that would ruin her reputation.
“If it wasn’t you, then who else could it be? Me?!”
Sensing the escalating tension, Karen cautiously asked, “So, who told you all this
