Chapter 369 Chloe Is Preferred by All Men
“Yeah. Of course, he laid his filthy hands on me. And in the end, he turned around and betrayed me.
Out of anger and embarrassment, he used his connections to send me to prison!” Ava spewed lies with
wide–open eyes, unable to bear the fact that Chloe seemed to be preferred by all men.
‘Once Chloe and Joseph separate, I’ll find a way to deal with this woman once I get out of here!‘
Chloe’s heart grew heavy as she sat there, observing Ava’s remorseless face. At that moment, she
found herself at a loss for words. Part of her wanted to laugh, while another part recognized that this
person was beyond redemption. Taking a deep breath, she said with seriousness and helplessness,
“Stop lying. Joseph’s standards aren’t that low.”
“What do you mean? You believe in a man over me?!” Ava shouted angrily, drawing reprimands from
the prison guards.
Tyson cast a sidelong glance at Ava and urged Chloe, “Don’t waste time on her. Joe is already at the
Aesper City Police Department.”
Chloe nodded, stood up, and followed him out.
Ava stomped her feet in frustration. She was determined to find a way to escape and reclaim
everything that rightfully belonged to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the interrogation room, the man sat in the chair, his long legs casually crossed. He extinguished the
cigarette between his fingers in the ashtray, asking in an unhurried manner, “Do you want to be set
free?”
Chloe’s eyelid twitched. “Yes, I do.”
“Do you want me to get you out of here?”
“Yes,” she softly responded, looking at him calmly. “What are your conditions?”
She knew that Tyson was just showing respect to Joseph. If Joseph intentionally made things difficult,
she might not even have the opportunity to hire a lawyer, let alone see Ava.
The finger marks on Joseph’s cheek had faded, and his face showed no emotion. His dark eyes were
profound, carrying a trace of weariness. “I have no agenda.”
Chloe stared at him, a look of disbelief settling on her face.
“Heh.” Joseph chuckled, his face adorned with a cold smile.
‘Do I need an agenda to treat her well?‘
Chloe could not fully grasp the situation, unsure of what she had said wrong.
“My father left behind a suicide note when he hilled himself, and it’s currently in Grandpa’s possession.
He’s fond of you, thus it’s now your responsibility to retrieve it.”
Chloe contemplated for a moment and said, “I’ll try.”
The outcome of this unknown task was uncertain. While Harold treated her well, delving into the
Whitmans‘ private matters was a different story altogether.
Joseph slid Chloe’s phone across the table, making his demand clear. “Now, end things with Icarus and
I’ll get you out of here.”
“This isn’t fair! I only agreed to one condition!”
He remained unfazed, his tone devoid of emotion as he casually responded, “Fairness doesn’t exist in
this world. At the moment, you need me, not the other way around. I’m offering you a chance to repay
me.”
Chloe bit her lip, her clear eyes staring at him unblinking. “Then may I ask you a question?”
“Speak.”
“Why did you choose to help me today, and why did you intervene when Ava was about to harm me,
leading to her arrest?”
‘Is it because he genuinely cares for me? Is he worried about me?‘
Joseph’s stoic face displayed a subtle shift, meeting her gaze. “What do you think the reason is?”
An answer formed in Chloe’s thoughts, but she hesitated to voice it. He had inflicted so much pain on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher, one hurtful action after another. If he harbored feelings for her, how could he bear to cause her
such harm?
“I don’t know.”
Joseph’s eyes instantly darkened. ‘Yes, she knows nothing. She only knows how to flirt and evade
responsibility.‘
“Don’t waste your breath with meaningless words. Do you want to leave or not? The choice is yours,”
he said, his tone abruptly turning cold, his patience wearing thin.
Unaware of Joseph’s internal struggles, Chloe asked quietly, “If I break up with Icarus and help you
retrieve your father’s note, you won’t interfere with Icarus‘ life anymore?”
He clenched his molars and his jawline hardened. At that moment, he realized that she still cared about
Icarus. ‘Such unwavering affection.‘
Chloe felt a shiver run down her spine as she met his gaze, her confidence wavering.
“As long as you agree to those conditions, it’ll be as if I’m seeing a dog whenever I see Icarus. I’ll
completely ignore him,” he declared.
Chloe had no comeback and remained silent. ‘Why do his words carry a trace of jealousy? And why
does he sound so childish?‘ she wondered, shaking her head. ‘It’s impossible. Joseph is cold and
arrogant, like a block of ice. Such thoughts are out of the question!‘
She picked up her phone, collected her thoughts, and composed a breakup message to Icarus.
