Chapter 255 Mixing Wine and Beer? You’re Quite Something
The grip on Chloe’s chin was painful, but she maintained a bright smile. “What’s wrong? Is it not
acceptable? After all, your heart belongs to Xavia, not me. I’ll step aside and make room for her, and
everyone will be happy.”
“Why?” Joseph’s brows furrowed in anger, and a storm brewed in his icy gaze. “Is offering an apology
too much of an inconvenience for you?”
“Yes,” she replied.

homemade snacks for them. She treated the two dogs as her own and never scolded. them, even
when they misbehaved. Despite being exhausted after work, she still made it a point to take them for
walks. Yet, whenever something went wrong, it was all her fault.

Joseph’s gaze shifted downward, his penetrating eyes scanning Chloe’s unwavering
determination. His anger reached its peak, causing his lips to tremble ever so slightly before curling into
a derisive smile. “There’s no need for us to take a break. If you wish to break. up, then let’s break up. I
have no shortage of women.
“Remember, it was me who dumped you,” he added.
Chloe’s face turned pale, a profound sense of sorrow engulfing her. At that moment, she realized that
she had never truly found her way into his heart.
“Since that’s the case, please let go of me, Mr. Joseph. I have work to do,” she said.
Without waiting for Joseph to react, she pushed him aside and turned to leave.
Witnessing Chloe’s departure from Joseph’s office, Lucas assumed that they had reconciled. He picked
up a cup of tea and prepared to bring it inside. But just as his right foot entered the office, he saw
Joseph punching the wall, blood instantly streaming from between his fingers.
“Get out!” Joseph’s voice boomed with
anger.
Lucas’ hands trembled, and the teacup nearly slipped from his grasp. ‘Goodness, gracious!”
It became evident to Lucas that the situation had escalated significantly. Not only had they failed to
reconcile, but Joseph’s anger had also reached a boiling point.
Lucas suppressed his fear and retreated with the tea, gently closing the door behind him. He stood
there, contemplating whether he should seek further information from Chloe. However, before he could
make a decision, the sound of more objects being smashed Inside the office reached his ears,
solidifying his belief that Joseph’s anger was truly uncontainable this time.
Trembling, Lucas quickly made up his mind to find Chloe in the marketing department.
To his surprise, he was informed that Chloe had taken a leave of absence. Lucas realized that the
situation was even more serious than he had imagined. Feeling helpless, he suddenly remembered
that he had Emily’s number. With his habitual efficiency in office matters, he swiftly took out his phone
and sent a voice message to Emily.

Right after Emily finished listening to the voice message from Lucas, she received a phone call from
Chloe.
“Come out and have a few drinks with me,” Chloe said.
Knowing the importance of friends during difficult times, Emily agreed. She casually threw on a coat
and took a cab to the location Chloe gave her.
The bar was closed during daylight hours, so Chloe found a restaurant and started drinking a bottle of
strong wine, polishing off half of it alone. By the time Emily arrived, Chloe was already drunk, slumped
over the table with a flushed face, continuously muttering curses directed unmistakably at Joseph.
“How are you so drunk after just half a bottle?” Emily could not believe her eyes as she glanced at the
half-empty beer bottle next to Chloe.
Chloe reached under the chair and retrieved another bottle. Letting out a burp, she grinned, exposing
her row of white teeth and looking silly. “There’s still half a bottle of wine left. I drank the wine first
before the beer. The wine was too spicy, and I can’t drink it quickly.”
Emily sighed, “Mixing wine and beer? You’re quite something.” xo.com fast update
Helplessly, she helped Chloe up from the chair, settled the bill at the front desk, and stood by the
roadside, trying to flag down a cab. Before a car arrived, they unexpectedly ran into Icaru
