Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Sir, That’s My Phone 

Chloe’s fists clenched tightly, her eyes bloodshot with a burning rage. Hatred consumed her as she uttered the words, “Yes, let Benjamin suffer the consequences!” 

She wanted Benjamin to endure the same despair her mother had experienced before her untimely death. 

Lucas looked at Wren and asked, “Sir, how should we handle her?” 

“Send her back. We may need her as a witness at a crucial moment.” 

Chloe felt a heaviness in her heart, but to her surprise, Joseph canceled his morning meetings and devoted the entire day to being by her side. She clung to his waist affectionately, crying and finding solace in his presence until exhaustion overcame her. She unknowingly drifted off to sleep, tears staining her cheeks. 

When she woke up, it was already 2 in the afternoon. Her mood had calmed down considerably. Jojo, I’m sorry for disrupting your work this morning.” 

Joseph interlocked his fingers, leaning back in a relaxed demeanor. “Feeling better now?” Chloe wiped away the remnants of her tears. Her gaze was determined and resolute. “Yes, I’m going to head back to Marketing. See you tonight.” 

The breakdown of an adult has its limits. Once the storm of emotions subsided, it was time to gather strength and tackle life head-on. Despair and tears never solved any problems. 

This time, Chloe was determined to fight back. 

In the afternoon, Chloe’s newly written marketing copy and project gained traction. It went viral, the copy garnering high praise from major platforms in the finance industry. Bloggers. specializing in finance shared and commented on it, using sharp language and presenting novel perspectives. Instantly, Chloe started gaining popularity within the financial circle. 

To add more intrigue, someone discovered her photo and affectionately referred to her as the ” Sweetheart of Finance,” recognizing her as the most beautiful girl in the industry. As a result, in the following days, her colleagues playfully referred to her as the “beauty icon of the finance. world.” Even Ms. Wendy, who had recently given birth, called to offer her congratulations. 

Chloe modestly replied, “It’s all thanks to your guidance, Ms. Wendy. I was a complete newbie when I first joined the department.” 

“It’s not just your extensive work experience, but also your commitment to continuous learning that has contributed to your achievements. You’re still at the beginning of your journey, so keep up the good work. I have high expectations for you. I also heard about the incident with Ellie. Considering her challenging family background and occasional extreme behavior, please beware of your safety and promptly report any unusual incidents.” 

“Yes, I understand.”

Lucas prepared a cup of coffee for Joseph and brought it inside. Just as he was about to leave, his phone started beeping. Without thinking, he instinctively reached for his phone to check the notification. 

Half of Joseph’s daily trivial matters were handled by Lucas, including tasks related to the homeowners’ group. The notification was from the property manager who had suddenly tagged him and later sent a photo accompanied by a mischievous emoji. 

[Mr. Joseph, may we print this photo for community promotion? Of course, we’d be happy to provide you with the image rights compensation. I accidentally came across it while reviewing the surveillance footage yesterday. The image of you and your wife standing together is sol beautiful as if you were destined for each other.] 

The photo captured Chloe and Icarus, looking very happy together and two Border Collies obediently by their side. It perfectly depicted the ideal life that most people had in mind-lovers, pets, sunset, and a wonderful atmosphere. 

Other homeowners began commenting. 

[Both of them have such high levels of attractiveness. Can having a dog enhance marital relationships? I want one too] 

[Now that’s good looks and talents. Utilizing them for promotion will definitely boost the sales of houses here.] 

[I saw this couple passing by yesterday. The dogs misbehaved, and the female owner smacked their butts. Hahaha] 

Lucas’ hand holding the phone trembled. It was true that Ms. Chloe was the female owner, but Icarus was not the male owner. 

Joseph lifted the cup of coffee and took a sip, glancing at the stunned Lucas who was just standing there. “Anything else?” 

Trembling, Lucas stammered, “There might be something else…”
