Chapter 298 Why Don’t You Be With Uncle Icarus?
“Are you insane? Aren’t you afraid Xavia will find out?” Chloe exclaimed.
“How is it any of her business?” Joseph replied nonchalantly as he swept up a lock of her hair and
greedily inhaled its scent.
Chloe remained silent.
‘What a jerk!’
Aside from Joseph tightly embracing her and being nearly suffocated, nothing happened throughout the
night. After enduring a night of humiliation, Chloe returned to her house the next morning and took a
refreshing shower. Once clean, she squeezed a glass of orange juice and prepared to change into her
work attire.
Suddenly, Jake came knocking on the door.
Chloe was surprised. “What are you doing here?”
“My mom told me that something happened to your family and that Benjamin and Karen were arrested.
I was worried about you, so I came to check on you,” Jake explained.

retorted.
Jake scratched his head. “I’m afraid Ava will seek revenge on you.” After all, he knew Ava quite well
and was aware of her vindictive nature.
Chloe finished her glass of orange juice in one go and replied, “I know, but I couldn’t just sit back and
do nothing.”
Ava now had Calvin backing her, while Chloe was fighting alone. It would be untrue to claim she felt no
fear. She could only be cautious in her daily life and remain on guard at all times.
Jake looked at Chloe with concern and spoke earnestly, “Why don’t you be with Uncle Icarus? Let him
take care of you. That way, Ava won’t be able to hurt you.”
Although he desperately wanted to say those words himself, he no longer had the privilege to do so.
Only Icarus was worthy of being by Chloe’s side now.
Chloe helplessly replied, “There’s no need for that.”
It was too late now. She had just ended one relationship and did not want to hastily start another.
“Why?” he asked.
“Why do there have to be so many ‘whys?’ I have work to handle at the office. If there’s nothing else,
you should leave. Don’t let your fiancee misunderstand me,” Chloe replied,
remembering the conversation she had with Icarus about the arranged marriage between Jake and his
new fiancee.
Jake felt embarrassed. “How’s the current situation at the office? Is it running smoothly?”
“Not good. There are a lot of troubles,” Chloe responded.
Jake made a mental note of her words and planned to discuss them with Icarus later.
Chloe
spent the morning typing away on her keyboard, working on a proposal. After careful consideration,
she decided to pay a visit to the Grahams.
‘Why not give it a try? Perhaps they would be interested in the new proposal?’
Maybe it was thanks to her connection with Joseph, Chloe had no trouble meeting with Alexander
himself. After showing him the proposal, to her surprise, Alexander readily agreed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe hesitated for a moment before asking, “If I may be so bold, did you agree to collaborate with the
Johnsons because of Joseph? If that’s the case, I want to say that I and Joseph-”
Alexander interrupted her before she could finish her sentence and smiled. “I know about your
relationship with Mr. Joseph. Even without him, I value the proposal you’ve provided, Ms.
Chloe.”
Chloe forced out a dry laugh, but she could not shake the feeling that Alxo.com fast

misunderstood her words.
After seeing Chloe off, Alexander took a photo of the documents on his desk and sent it to Joseph,
praising, “Your wife is so young, yet possesses such strategic thinking. She’s truly
talented.”
With the intention of building a good relationship with Joseph, he pressed the send button.
Five minutes later, Joseph called him.
Twenty minutes later, Alexander expressed his change of heart to Chloe through a tactfully
worded text.
Chloe read the message, her mind in a daze. She immediately turned back, wanting to find Alexander
to inquire about the specific reasons behind his decisio
