Chapter 157 She Wants to Destroy Me and Replace Me!
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their gaze toward Joseph.
Lucas walked over and opened the door to the cubicle, allowing Chloe and Jake to step out.
Jake stood frozen in shock, never expecting the unexpected savior to be Joseph.
Chloe hurriedly ran to Joseph’s side and complained, “Jojo, this woman is evil. If come five minutes later, I wouldn’t see you anymore.”

“Shut up! That was not what happened!” Jane scolded loudly. She had only wanted to teach. this despicable woman a lesson. She had no intention of causing a fatal incident.
“Jojo, I’m so scared. She’s envious of what we have. She hates that she can’t have it. She wants to destroy me and replace me!” Chloe disregarded Jane’s presence and pressed on, her voice. quivering and her countenance twisted with anguish, evoking a heart-wrenching sight.
No one could accurately foresee events that had yet to unfold. The fact that Jane dared to openly pursue Chloe with a group of intimidating men suggested that she was capable of something terrifying. Hence, it would not be a stretch for her to resort to nefarious deeds. behind closed doors.
Jake’s attention snapped back into focus as he heard Chloe’s words, causing him to turn his head and direct his gaze toward Joseph and Chloe.
Meanwhile, Jane, who had been observing from the corner of her eye, seized upon an idea that formed in her mind. In a confident tone, she exclaimed, “I saw this woman with another man, and I wanted to help you catch them in the act. You shouldn’t trust her.”
Joseph remained silent the whole time. When he heard Jane’s words, he narrowed his eyes slightly and locked his gaze on Jake, seemingly scrutinizing him.
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat, anxiety coursing through her veins. “We simply ran into each other,” she explained.
“Why is he protecting you then?” Jane pressed on. “I overheard your conversation outside. It’s clear that you two know each other.”
Chloe was left tongue-tied. ‘Of course, we know each other. He’s my ex-boyfriend!”
Encountering an ex in such a situation would be deemed too coincidental even for a work of fiction. Furthermore, given Joseph’s sensitivity toward such matters, he would surely be skeptical and would not easily believe it.
Jane observed the expression on Chloe’s face and became increasingly convinced that she had stumbled upon a secret. Wearing a self-satisfied smile, she said to Joseph, “I strongly advise you to thoroughly investigate and not overlook any details. Some women may present
themselves as innocent and pure, but beneath the surface, they harbor promiscuous proclivities. It’s highly likely that they came here for some illicit activities out of loneliness.”
Jake wished to clarify the situation, yet he hesitated, fearing that revealing his past relationship with Chloe would only deepen the misunderstanding. However, what perplexed him the most at that moment was the realization that Chloe and Joseph’s relationship seemed. to surpass that of mere employer and employee.
Just as everyone looked at each other silently, Joseph slowly withdrew his gaze. He looked at Jane with annoyance and said, “You’re so nosy.”
Jane was stunned. “I was helping you!”
“I don’t need your help,” he responded curtly.
Joseph had nearly believed Jane’s words. However, the man standing before him exhibited at weary and dejected countenance as if he had recently endured a significant setback in life. The only redeeming quality about him was his moderately appealing appearance.
But that did not concern him, as he himself was far more handsome than Jake. Despite Chloe’s occasional foolishness, she had good taste in men.
Chloe patted her chest in relief, released a pent-up breath, and made a face at Jane.
‘Hah! Serves you right!’
“Joseph, is there something wrong with your eyes? It’s clear that something is fishy going on between them!” Jane persisted.
“I trust Chloe. Your focus should be on how to apologize to her to satisfy me,” Joseph responded calmly.
As Chloe gazed at Joseph’s handsome profile, her heart fluttered, and a radiant smile adorned.
her face.
‘He can be good sometimes…’
