Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Another Interview 

“A security guard?” 

Lucas had not told Joseph that a security guard had been involved as well. 

Chloe nodded, and as she recounted the incident, she felt aggravated. Rolling up her sleeves, she showed him the scratches. 

“This is what he did to me. There’s a wound on my calf too.” 

The two scabs on her fair skin looked like damage on a priceless piece of artwork, and the sight was jarring. 

As she continued to complain about Fairlight, his expression grew increasingly dark. Chloe only noticed something was amiss with Joseph’s expression after she had finished venting. She cautiously prodded him with her finger and asked, “What’s the matter?” 

‘Is he a friend to the CEO of Fairlight?‘ 

“Nothing,” Joseph replied. 

“Okay…” 

Joseph lowered his gaze and suppressed his emotions. “Go to bed early, and please wash the dishes.” 

“Sure,” Chloe said readily. She did not find any issue in taking care of the dishes since Joseph was the one who cooked. 

The lights were still on at the Johnson residence late at night. Sitting on the couch, Benjamin asked doubtfully, “The interviewer at Fairlight was fired because of Coco?” 

Ava, who was sitting beside him, grabbed his arm. “It’s true. What other reason could there be? Such things don’t just happen by coincidence. Coco must have found someone better than us. 

“Do you think she’s really capable of doing that?” Benjamin scoffed. “Those with power aren’t idiots.” 

It was within the norms of high society for men and women to have a secret lover without their family’s knowledge, and Benjamin was convinced that Chloe was being kept as a mistress by the man in question. 

“Daddy, we can’t just watch Coco go down the wrong path. You should call her tomorrow and ask her to come home,” Ava said. 

“Indeed, society can be unforgiving, especially to those who try to benefit from the wealth of 

the influential without paying a price. Rumor has it that a young girl was caught by the wife of the man she was seeing and had her face disfigured. It ruined her life. Despite Coco’s strong personality, she’s still a Johnson and would do well to avoid any kind of scandal. Any negative publicity would have severe consequences for both Coco and the Johnsons as a whole,” Karen 

chimed in. 

After listening to what Karen said, Benjamin patted her shoulder and let out a long sigh. “She treats you so rudely, yet you’re still trying to help her.” 

Karen smiled. “No matter what she does, she’s still my child. I’m just afraid that Coco won’t 

come home.” 

up the “She doesn’t have a choice. She doesn’t want to come home because she messed contract. If she refuses to come home tomorrow after I call her, she can say goodbye to the assets that her mother left for her.” 

He had originally planned to give Chloe a tenth of her mother’s assets, but now he was reconsidering it. 

At his words, Ava hugged his arm and asked sweetly, “What about me, Daddy? Where’s my 

share?” 

Benjamin’s expression softened and a smile spread across his face. “My dear, every single thing in the family belongs to you. I’ll make sure your wedding is the grandest there ever was.” 

After overindulging in the pasta Joseph had cooked, Chloe did not sleep well and woke up at dawn to the faint light of morning. 

She continued to lay in bed, listening as the occupant in the next room turned on the lights, went into the bathroom to freshen up, and then headed out the door. She could not help feeling envious of Joseph. 

Unlike her, he had a job.
