Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Embrace Your Role and I’ll Grant You Wealth 

The flurry of damning questions left Chloe speechless on the spot. The only person besides Joseph who had given her a bank card was Icarus. She quickly reached a conclusion-the surveillance footage from the neighborhood had been leaked online. 

The room seemed to grow colder, the atmosphere thick with Joseph’s unspoken anger that hung heavy in the air. Chloe could sense a raging flamé manifesting without even lifting her head. 

“Jojo, wait, please let me explain… 

” 

Joseph remained expressionless as he demanded, “Hand over your purse.” 

Instinctively, Chloe protected her bag behind her and spoke in a soft tone. “I can explain everything, or we can call Icarus and ask him about what happened…” 

Joseph observed her defensive actions, his eyebrows furrowing and his eyes narrowing. Without uttering a word, he forcefully snatched her bag and began rummaging through it until his hand seized hold of an unfamiliar bank card. His sharp eyes lowered, masking his emotions. His voice, now tinged with hoarseness, emanated an icy coldness as he asked, “How much money did Icarus give you?” 

“I didn’t ask for it. He forced it on me. By the time I wanted to return it, he had already disappeared. “Chloe’s voice trembled as she spoke. 

“How much money is on this card?” Joseph repeated the question, his anger bubbling to the 

surface. 

“28 million…” 

“Hmm…” Joseph sneered, abruptly gripping her chin tightly. “So 28 million is enough for you to follow him?” 

“No, he never said anything like that,” Chloe’s voice quivered as Joseph’s grip on her chin caused. her pain. Yet, she dared not resist. 

Joseph’s bottomless black eyes seemed to penetrate her very soul. His icy voice, devoid of any emotion, pierced through the air. “So, 28 million is enough to make you leave me?” 

Chloe’s back stiffened, her lips trembling. “Icarus had no malicious intentions, and I never betrayed you…” 

Joseph’s anger consumed him, his blood boiling. “Do you think I’m a fool, Chloe Johnson?!” 

It was just a bank card. She could have easily returned it if she did not want it. In the worst-case scenario, she could have simply discarded it. There were numerous ways to handle the situation and he could have reimbursed her. However, she deliberately chose to keep it in her bag. 

Chloe had no idea how to explain herself anymore, feeling utterly drained. They had just established their relationship recently, yet it seemed plagued by constant arguments. This was not the kind of relationship she had envisioned or desired. 

Seeing her silence, Joseph’s fury intensified. He roughly picked her up and threw her into the car. Chloe cried out in pain as the impact rattled her, feeling as if her internal organs were about to be jolted loose. 

Joseph slammed his foot on the accelerator, speeding back to the villa at an alarming pace. 

Chloe desperately wanted to get out of the car on her own, but he gripped onto her wrist tightly, forcing her to stumble along in his hurried strides. 

“Please slow down,” she pleaded. 

Joseph remained silent, showing no signs of slowing down as he brought Chloe directly into the bedroom and firmly shut the door. From outside the closed door, his voice took on a sinister tone.” From now on, you’ll be confined to this villa for eternity!” 

Fear and panic gripped Chloe as she frantically twisted the doorknob but to no avail. “Joseph, please let me out!” she pleaded, her voice filled with desperation. 

Joseph sneered, his voice laced with contempt. “Let you out so that you can continue your seduction games with other men?” 

Chloe’s voice trembled with desperation. “I haven’t done anything wrong. Please don’t do this… Let
