Chapter 133 Work as a Maid at Night
“I didn’t.”
“Then why are they…”
“You’re my wife. If they disrespect you, wouldn’t it be disrespecting the Whitmans?” he answered.
On top of those, Chloe did not disgrace him.
The bidding for the piano ended with a final bid of 2,000,000 dollars, called out by Joseph himself. It was not that others lacked the money, but rather, they did not dare to bid.
After all, it was his wife who played the piece, and their participation was merely for show. Engaging in a bidding war would have been inappropriate.
On their way back, Joseph asked Chloe, “Why do you only know how to play one piece?”
She paused for a moment, and self-mockingly replied, “When I was in high school, I wanted to learn to play. However, my father insisted that Ava should be the one to learn, believing that it was unnecessary for me to spend money on such pursuits. To prove myself, I’d visit at classmate’s house every afternoon to practice on their piano. Due to my limited access to the instrument, I became familiar with just one particular piece.
“But in the end, my father still refused to let me learn. He believed that Ava was the one who deserves special attention.”
Though the family had money, it was not to be wasted on her.
Joseph fell silent for a moment. He then asked, “Do you still want to learn now?”
“No, I don’t. It’s in the past,” she answered without a hint of hesitation.
Joseph remained silent, his chiseled face devoid of any emotion.
After finishing her evening routine and lying in bed, Chloe noticed a new text message on her phone.
It was from Ava.
[If you delete those chat logs, I’ll consider removing my thread.]
Chloe replied, [Tell me the contact information and address of my grandparents, and I’ll grant you some dignity.]
The next day, the thread rose to the third position on the trending topics list, but Ava stopped contacting her.
Chloe prepared some yogurt for herself and then called Adam. She then uploaded the photos taken at the popular restaurant and the original chat logs on her social media.
In the chat logs, she purposely covered Adam’s profile picture and clarified that it was not Adam but someone else. As for the photo from the trendy restaurant, it showed that it was Ava who was harassing him.
Although the overall appearance seemed somewhat suspicious and lacked credibility, it was the only way Chloe could help Adam.
As soon as she uploaded it, Adam liked the thread, and it soon appeared on the homepage and attracted a lot of attention. Many professional photo editors emerged, and some experts confirmed that the chat logs Chloe shared were authentic.
Now, the netizens who had sympathized with Ava changed their stance and began to berate her mercilessly. A day later, Ava deleted her Twitter account, and this incident finally came to an end.
Chloe thought her life was about to return to normal when Icarus and Lily suddenly showed up on the ground floor of Fairlight.
“Why are you guys here?” Chloe looked around. “Is Mr. Harry here too?”
“No, it’s just me and Icarus,” Lily replied with a smile. There was a hint of excitement in her
eyes.
On their way here, Icarus told Lily that he had a crush on Chloe and expressed his intention to confess his feelings to her today. He sought Lily’s assistance in this endeavor, unwilling to postpone it any further. After all, Jake had broken up with Ava and he feared that Jake might
come back to Chloe.
Chloe felt that something was weird about the two standing before her, but she could not pinpoint exactly what was off and asked, “Are you guys here just to see me?”
“Yes, Ms. Chloe. No wonder you quit your job at Baxon. Turns out you’ve joined Fairlight. How could you not tell me about it? Do you still consider me a friend?” Lily said.
Chloe awkwardly chuckled, “It all happened so suddenly. I didn’t expect Fairlight to accept me
either.”
Lily paused for a moment and suddenly remembered that Joseph was the CEO of Fairlight. Understanding hit her and she said, “I get it now.”
