Chapter 183 It’d Be a Pity if It Was True
Joseph’s brows went up as he glanced at Chloe, who appeared nervous. He then picked up his phone and walked toward the backyard. Chloe frowned as she stared at his back as he left. She then took out her phone and texted Emily.
[I think Ava filed a police report.]
[How shameless! She has done so many shameful things. Isn’t she afraid of being exposed?]
[But she didn’t leave any evidence.]
[What should we do now? Will officers be coming to take us away?]
When that scene came to mind, Emily was filled with a tinge of fear. [I think we’ll be fine. Joseph has a relative working at the station. He just called Joseph. I guess he’s asking Joseph about the incident.]
At most, that incident could be considered a civil dispute. Since she and Ava had familial ties, she assumed she just needed to apologize to Ava in public to resolve this. She did not mind apologizing to Ava.
Hearing that, Emily relaxed. After chatting a bit, they ended
the conversation.
Soon, Joseph returned and stared at Chloe gloomily. A tinge of strangeness dawned on his handsome face. “Did you throw rotten eggs at Ava on a main street?”

“Otherwise?” Helplessness engulfed Joseph. “Please be
smarter about it if you want to teach someone a lesson next time. What you did today may seem harmless but powerful. Have you ever thought about the cost that comes to deal with the aftermath?”
“Yes, I did. I think apologizing to her is the smallest price to pay. I just need to say a few words. It’s fine.” Chloe made up her mind and said seriously, “I’ll say sorry to her. It’s too expensive to hire Samuel to do this.”
She decided to do that now and wanted to go upstairs to change her clothes and leave. Unexpectedly, her slippers were wet from the water in the bathroom. She slipped and inevitably fell toward Joseph. The latter reacted fast and quickly supported her.
At the same time, Chloe sought out support since she wanted
Ava’s date had been right beside her. There was no other way out except pretending to faint to avoid a fatal humiliation and awkwardness.
When she saw that Benjamin was back, she eagerly sat up on the hospital bed. “Daddy, how did it go? When is Chloe going to say sorry to me in public?”
“She refused to apologize.”
Great excitement dawned on Ava. “So, does that mean she agreed to pay me 4 million as compensation?”
‘Is she that rich? I should’ve asked for more.‘
Karen did not have the heart to disappoint Ava, so she did not know how to expose the truth after being hesitant for a long time. Benjamin vented all his fury out at the side and
demanded Ava stay far away from Chloe in the future.
