Chapter 119
Outside Tong Garden.
Joseph stood alone, tall and elegant, by the black Ferrari, his back as straight as a pine tree, refined and graceful. While waiting, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at the handsome plaque.
For the past few days, he had been relentlessly investigating and gaining an understanding of the Thorp Group. Stefan’s wife Chloe’s mother purchased the only Garden mansion of its kind in the entire country, whose value was immeasurable.
The reason why it was named “Tong” was because Chloe’s mother was called “Tonks” Lewis.
That was why she adopted the pseudonym “Raya” to remain close to him.
Yet, why did they name her Raya?
She was clearly not diminutive in any way.
As Joseph’s thoughts drifted, the door creaked and slowly opened a crack.
Upon hearing the sound, he immediately averted his gaze and tensed his broad shoulders.
Chloe, shielding the brilliant sun with her palm, stood on the steps, gazing at Joseph.
The man with the dog didn’t don the three suits welded to his body today; instead, he wore a beige pair of trousers and a light blue jacket. He was neat, radiant, and dignified, looking as handsome as jade and as cool as a breeze.
Chloe had never seen Joseph dressed like this before. Usually, this man was like a young master from an old sect, hailing from the “Gold and Yellow Powder Family”. He was usually strict and restrained, meticulous in his ways. Today… she couldn’t help but feel that he looked more casual than usual, though she suspected it was all part of a plan.
He was really good-looking, but unfortunately he was a human model, that acted like a canine.
Chloe was drawing nearer to him, her haste evident in the home slippers still on her feet. Her light, graceful steps had an indescribable charm, inviting intimacy.
Joseph lowered his gaze and fixed his eyes on her feet. His heart burned.
“Why are you staring at my feet? Haven’t you ever seen slippers before?” Chloe’s toes, concealed in the slippers, curled uneasily, not giving him a clear view.
“You always wear high heels,” Joseph said, narrowing his eyes. “I’ve never seen you in this.”
“Ha ha, it’s obvious your eyesight isn’t great”
“For the past three years. I’ve been strolling around in front of you, yet you claimed you’d never seen me before.”
“I’m aware that I’ve never been visible to you. Now that we’re no longer together, there’s no need for you to ridicule me like this again, correct?”
Joseph’s heart suddenly stopped and his face grew dark in an instant.
He remembered, yes.
Once he returned home, she must be the first to welcome him.
She ran up to him with cheerful little steps, wearing an apron and holding a small spatula. Her white face was always oily, yet she smiled gently and kindly at him.
He once derided her, but now it was invaluable.
“Let’s hop in the car and chat, Joseph said, taking a deep breath before opening the car door.

“Joseph, do you need to lock the door if you say something?” Chloe tugged at the door handle, but it wouldn’t budge.
“But when driving, it needs to be locked up. The main reason is that I’m afraid you’ll jump out.”
As soon as he finished speaking. Chloe’s vision suddenly darkened and her nerves exploded.
Joseph pressed his body of heat down onto her, his tall nose almost touching the tip of hers, his long eyelashes brushing her eyelids.
“What are you doing?” Chloe panicked from the depths of her soul and hastily shoved his chest.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Joseph firmly grasped her small hand and murmured, “Chloe, stay put.”
His left arm circled around her waist immediately, slowly pulling the seat belt over to help her fasten it.
“Where are you taking me?” Chloe gritted her teeth and recoiled, as if a Buddha statue had been touched by something
unclean.
“We agreed last night that you would come to my house to retrieve something today. Joseph released her and firmly grasped the steering wheel.
“I’m definitely going today. You don’t need to do this!”
“I don’t buy it.”
Joseph started the engine and looked up at her. “You’re really good at deceiving me. How many times have you lied to me since we got married three years ago? Is there anything you’ve told me that’s actually true?”
“No?”
“If you say ‘no’, then that’s it,” Chloe sneered. “It doesn’t make a difference”
Joseph felt a chill in his chest, as if a bullet had pierced through the barrel.
He wished fervently that she would never fall in love with him, so that he could feel comfortable with all his actions,
The Ferrari sped along the highway, and the beautiful scenery swiftly receded.
Unable to escape, Chloe crossed her arms and adjusted the back of the chair, settling into a comfortable nap.
It was better not to see.
Joseph tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said apologetically, “I’m sorry about that.”
“What is it?”
Chloe found that this man had been as stubborn as a donkey before marriage, but now he was admitting his mistakes so easily, showing that he had become less stubborn.
Grace reported him to the Virtuous Man Academy because she felt it was necessary.
I had no idea Oscar was your brother.”
“Oh, the uninformed are blameless. I absolve you.” Chloe didn’t mind.
“But why didn’t you explain?” Joseph gazed intently at her lovely side profile.
“Would you accept it if I said Oscar and I were not guilty?”
