Joseph stiffened and murmured robotically, "Yeah."Chloe's words were so pleasant that Harold felt like he was wrapped up in a cotton jacket. He beamed so wide that his smile reached his eyes. "Okay, okay. I’ll do as you say, Chloe."They enjoyed their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, and before Harold left in his car, he remembered that the two families had yet to meet. However, he resisted the urge to bring up the information he had uncovered about Chloe's family.'Well,' he thought, ‘I could just meet them on my own.'After seeing off Harold, Chloe removed the stickers on the refrigerator and carefully wiped off the glue that stuck to it with a cloth. As she wiped, she told Joseph, "I'll make it sparkling clean. I'll remove the potted plants on the balcony too. Rest assured. Your house will go back to exactly the way it was before.”Joseph felt a bit embarrassed at Chloe's words. She made it sound like he was the one being unreasonable here. He picked up the leash to take Tot

Benjamin refused to admit that it was his fault, so he went with it and shifted the blame onto his daughter.He stated, "Of course, it's your fault. If it isn’t, then whose fault could it possibly be? Mine?”Ava's face turned red with frustration, but she did not dare retort. She had only made an offhand remark, and it was his fault for using Chloe's scandal as fodder for small talk with potential investors.What did any of this have to do with her?*With both being located downtown, Fairlight and Baxon were situated not far from each other.On her first day of work at Baxon, Chloe found herself attending a company-wide meeting. As she followed her colleagues into the conference room, a man in his thirties greeted her warmly, "Hello there."Chloe looked at the unfamiliar man, then glanced at the work badge pinned to his chest which read “Harry Smith, Director of Operations.” Though she did not understand why he was greeting her, she responded politely, "Hello.""I'm Icarus's o

Nathan felt something was off with Joseph.Upon catching sight of Chloe downstairs, Nathan narrowed his eyes. He instantly grasped the reason for Joseph's eagerness to leave despite only having been here for a while. A smile danced on Nathan's lips as he lightly stroked his chin.'It's no wonder that he's so eager to leave. It seems like someone’s in the season of love.'*The mart was not far from home, and Chloe planned on carrying the bags home herself when Joseph appeared in front of her. Her sweet face held a look of surprise as she asked, "What are you doing here?""Just hanging out with a friend," Joseph said, smoothly taking the bags from her hand."I see." Chloe followed him toward the parking lot. "The cooking class gave out ingredients to make a cake today. I'll make it for you when we get back.""Okay."As they walked together beneath the westbound sun, their figures overlapped and cast intertwined shadows on the ground. They appeared like a couple deeply in love.

Chloe's face turned pale as she clenched her fists, knowing that Ava must be behind all of this.If she followed the police back to the station today, her reputation in the company would be ruined. However, she had no choice but to go.Chloe took a deep breath and said, "I'll go, but I want to make it clear that if the investigation proves that I’m innocent and have nothing to do with the case, Jake must apologize to me."The police could not control these matters and replied, "Once the results of the investigation come out, you can negotiate privately."*At the police station, Ava sat in front of Chloe and said in a low voice, "Why do you insist on working at a big company? Now, you're back to square one. No big company will hire a criminal."Chloe smirked and retorted without hesitation, "I got into a big company solely based on my abilities. And what about you? Apart from framing others, what skills do you possess? You aspire to work in a big company but evidently lack the ab

After briefly explaining the whole situation to Joseph, Tyson went to the interrogation room to see Chloe.Although they did not cross paths when they attended the party at the Whitmans’ not long ago, Tyson knew about Chloe. In light of their relationship, she should call him “Uncle Tyson.” However, Chloe was aware that the current moment was unsuitable for introductions."About a month back, I gave the bracelets to Jake at a coffee shop on Dixie Street. You can check the surveillance footage there. It's been quite some time since then, so I wonder why he reported it only now if what he said is true. There must be something going on.“Moreover, the store owner who gave her testimony must also be involved in this. Today was my first time ever seeing her! You can start investigating her to gather more information," Chloe said, listing all the suspicious details she could think of.However, she felt disheartened when the person across from her remained silent. The man in front of her
