Chapter 398 To Win Joseph’s Favor Through a Dog
“What makes you think you can ask me for money? Am I your father?”
“But you’re my cousin!” Jonathan said exasperatingly, “Besides, don’t you always say that I haven’t achieved
anything? You have to support me this time.”
Joseph clasped his hands under his chin and looked at Jonathan deeply. Seeing this, Jonathan thought there was
hope and continued to push his plan.
“I don’t care about chip research.”
“Ah? Then what are you thinking about?”
“When you’re going to leave.”
Jonathan stormed out of Fairlight in frustration. At that moment, Octavia called him to ask if
he had obtained the money from Joseph.

“He’s so selfish. The Whitmans don’t belong to him alone. He refuses to let you join the board, and now he refuses
to support you in your solo career. He doesn’t deserve the position of power he has in this family.”
“Mom, let’s not talk about him anymore. The most important thing right now is to secure the money. This project is
a guaranteed profit.”
Octavia paused for a moment. “Jon, are you sure of that?”
“Yes! Even the richest man in Ameria has invested in this project!”
“Then… What if we sold our properties? Once you earn the money, you can buy them back.”
Since day one of Octavia marrying into the Whitmans, her family had been outmatched by Joseph’s father.
However, when his father passed away, Harold passed the position of power to Joseph. Now that her son had
achieved something in life, she had to give him her fullest support.
Jonathan’s eyes lit up. “But apart from the family home and the estate in Docwood, all the valuable properties are
under Joseph’s name.”
“There’s one more under your grandpa’s name.”
“You mean the one left by Joseph’s father?”
“Yes. Since nobody lives there, we can just sell it. I’m sure no one will notice.”
“Mom, you’re the best.
That property alone would sell for roughly 150 million dollars. It all depended on whether there would be a buyer
willing to take it off their hands.
Little did they expect that as soon as the house went on the market, it was bought by a mysterious individual in less
than a day.
The moon in the middle of the month was large and radiant.
After Chloe finished correcting the last document, she stretched in her seat and glanced at the time-half-past eight
in the evening. Lucas had told her that the vet hospital closed at ten, so it should be the perfect time for her to go.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she arrived, to her surprise, Xavia was also there, accompanied by a flamboyantly dressed woman.
Chloe had an impression of this woman. She seemed to be a minor celebrity.
Ignoring the two women, she walked over to Toto. The dog’s fur had been shaved halfway, and it was sleeping on a
cushion and hooked onto an IV drip. After a brief inquiry about the situation from the doctor, she felt relieved to
hear that Toto’s condition was stable. Although it was not her fault that Toto was harmed, it happened in her home,
so she felt she held some responsibility. If something had happened to Toto, she would not be able to forgive
herself. “All right. Stop pretending. It isn’t your dog anyway,” Megan Martinez said in a sarcastic voice. She was not
standing up for her friend. Previously, when Exotic Star was looking for an ambassador, she had volunteered for
nearly half a month, but in the end, Exotic Star chose someone from outside the industry. It was like a slap in the
face to her.
“Yeah. It isn’t your dog, so you don’t care,” Chloe replied as she looked at Xavia, wearing a fake smile on her face.
Xavia chuckled, her voice was gentle but there was a hint of provocation in the edge of her voice. “It’s just a dog.
What’s there to care about?”
As long as it had value and could be utilized, it was enough.
“Then why are you here with Toto?” Chloe pondered, stroking her chin. Suddenly, she had a moment of realization
and said, “Oh! I see now. You’re just putting on a show, hoping to win Joseph’s favor through his dog.”
