Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Icarus’ Undivided Attention on Chloe 

Hearing Lucas’ words, Chloe felt a warmth in her heart, although she was aware that it 

stemmed from Joseph’s possessiveness. Nevertheless, she could not deny that he was being attentive to her needs this time. 

“Well, I’m grateful to him,” she replied. 

Lucas smiled and nodded in response. 

Inside the banquet hall, everyone was elegantly dressed. Benjamin and Ava stood at the entrance, welcoming the arriving guests. It appeared that the dissolution of Ava’s marriage to the Coopers had little impact on their attitude. 

As soon as Ava spotted Chloe, she rushed over and embraced her affectionately. “Coco, you’re here. Let me walk you inside.” 

Chloe discreetly shrugged Ava off, maintaining an expressionless face. “I can go in on my own. 

” 

Ava paused, concealing her hidden malice behind a gentle smile. “All right, Jake is inside too. You can sit with him.” 

Chloe ignored Ava’s instructions and found an empty seat, choosing to sit alone. It had been challenging to distance herself from Jake since cutting him out of her life. 

Soon, the banquet hall started to fill up as more and more people arrived. Business partners, relatives of the Johnsons, and even media reporters were part of the guest list. 

Chloe scanned the room and furrowed her brows as she noticed a significant number of media representatives present, which did not sit well with her. 

Jake had caught sight of Chloe earlier, and frustration swelled within him when he observed. her purposefully keeping her distance. 

Icarus arrived five minutes before the birthday banquet was scheduled to begin. He took a seat beside Jake and said in a deep voice, “Looks like the Coopers invited the media as well.” 

Jake was caught off guard. “No wonder there are so many reporters outside.” 

“They came prepared today.” 

Initially, the plan was to invite the media to exert pressure and demand the return of the dowry. Considering Jake’s current situation, 3 million in dowry was a substantial amount. 

Under normal circumstances, if a couple were to break up, it would be acceptable to forgo claiming the dowry. However, Ava’s affair with Adam made it impossible to let this matter slide. 

“What should we do? I just saw Chloe. She’s here too,” Jake exclaimed, his composure slipping. 

Icarus’ expression grew serious as he scanned the room, searching for her. He spotted Chloe in a corner, standing out amid the elegantly dressed crowd. She wore professional office attire, the tight fitting pencil skirt highlighting her enticing figure and exuding an air of 

competence and individuality. 

Icarus’ heart raced as he turned to Jake and said, “Wait here for a moment. I’ll go talk to Chloe. 

Jake wanted to stop Icarus but was uncertain about his own role in this situation. Despite his mental preparation and constant self assurance that his uncle was superior in every aspect and could bring happiness to Chloe, seeing Icarus sitting next to her, showering her with gentle looks, made Jake feel a pang of jealousy. He grabbed the glass of red wine in front of him and downed it in one gulp 

“Did Ava invite you?” Icarus asked casually, his expression natural, and a touch of gentleness emanating from behind his gold rimmed glasses. 

Chloe noticed Icarus and was slightly taken aback. Remembering Jake’s words, a trace of 

embarrassment crossed her face “Yeah, she did.’ 

Icarus’ refined features turned into a scowl. “She has ulterior motives.
