Chapter 130 Commoners Like Yourself 

“Why should I be afraid?” 

“She’ll likely confront you.” 

“Aren’t you going to help me?” 

Joseph remained indifferent. Closing his eyes to rest, he disregarded her plea for help. It was clear he had no intention of intervening. 

Chloe stared at that handsome and valiant face of his and rolled her eyes in exasperation. 

‘Come on, even if she’s so great, she can’t match the multitude of formidable young women. out there. If it was only Jane, that would be manageable, but with her allies, I’d undoubtedly find myself at a disadvantage 

‘Forget it, I don’t want to dwell on it. I’ll see how it goes and take it one step at a time.” 

In the front seat, Patrick took charge of driving as they made their way to the art exhibition. center situated in a far-off area. Chloe gazed out the window, observing the fleeting scenery, and eventually closed her eyes, seeking solace after a day filled with restlessness. 

It was Patrick’s voice that roused her from her reverie, prompting her to follow Joseph and disembark from the car, still feeling a bit dazed. 

A crowd had gathered at the entrance of the exhibition center, dressed in formal attire and elegant suits. A casual glance at any individual revealed limited edition jewelry and handbags, reminiscent of those featured in the pages of prestigious fashion magazines. 

Every guest exuded a vibrant and commanding presence. 

Chloe glanced down at her dress and the diamond necklace adorning her neck. They were not luxury brands, but that did not faze her. She straightened her posture and willingly linked her arm with Joseph’s. To her, the man by her side was the ultimate accessory-his extraordinarily handsome face surpassing any luxury item. 

Joseph lowered his gaze, his eyes fixed on the delicate hand gracefully resting on his arm. A subtle smile played at the corner of his lips. ‘Is this dumbo staking her claim? Women have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves.’ 

Those lingering at the entrance were eager to approach Joseph and engage in conversation, but he paid them no attention, causing them to retract their hands awkwardly. 

Once inside the exhibition center, they saw the space was filled with an array of exquisite ceramic art pieces. Glass protective cases showcased each artwork, adorned with extravagant price tags. Chloe briefly glanced at them before averting her gaze. 

Jane, seated in the secluded resting area at the back, immediately caught sight of Joseph and 

Chloe as they entered together. 

Chloe donned a timeless Bavarian chiffon dress, accentuated by a bespoke necklace from a renowned designer and sparkling earrings that matched flawlessly. Her presence exuded an understated yet palpable sense of luxury. On the other hand, Joseph was dressed in a sleek black tailcoat, accentuating his slender waist and broad shoulders, resembling a gallant knight. 

Together, this strikingly attractive couple made a perfect match. 

Not only did they catch Jane’s attention, but the men in the vicinity could not help but steal glances at Chloe too. 

Jane clenched her fists and pouted at the man standing beside her, “Bass, that’s the woman. who stole Joseph from me.” 

Her brother, Sebastian Fox, followed her line of sight and glanced at Chloe, stroking his chin.” She’s undeniably impressive. An absolute beauty.” 

“Bass! You shouldn’t be praising her!” 

These past few days, every time she thought about Joseph-who was like a god in her eyes- she felt that he was being wasted on this plain, uncultivated girl. It felt as if a heavy stone was weighing down her heart, causing an aching pain. 

‘Why is life so unfair? Why wasn’t I blessed with such good fortune?’ 

“Jane, you’re not thinking straight. Beauty is one thing, but it can’t outweigh financial advantages.” Sebastian’s eyes twinkled with amusement. “Joseph is the heir of the Whitman. family, the leader of the four great families. Do you honestly think someone of his caliber. would fall for a background-less Cinderella?” ” 

Jane was taken aback, “What do you mean?” 

“It’s just a passing infatuation. Once the novelty wears off, no matter how beautiful she is, he’ll grow weary of her.” 

“But…they’re already married.” 

“They haven’t had a wedding ceremony yet. As long as there’s no grand announcement, it means he’s keeping his options open.” 

Sebastian’s logical analysis provided a glimmer of comfort to Jane’s aching heart. She bit her lip, watching as Joseph and Chloe parted ways. Passing her wine glass to Sebastian, she declared, “I’m going to find Joseph.” 

Meanwhile, Sebastian’s gaze fixed on Chloe, who stood alone, waiting. A mischievous intent began to stir within him. This untamed girl seemed like a young fledgling-a rare innocent presence that had been absent in the entertainment industry for a long time. 

Chloe, who had skipped dinner and arrived directly from work, grabbed a handful of cookies from the buffet line and began munching on them. Suddenly, a cookie crumb lodged in her 

throat, triggering an uncontrollable fit of coughing. 

“Here, have some water.” Sebastian, with a gentlemanly demeanor, promptly offered her a glass of water, his eyes shining as he smiled.
