Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 MS. Chloe Didn’t Come To Work Today 

“It’s precisely because I know what you’re capable of that I asked you to resign. How could our small company possibly compare to a leading enterprise like Fairlight? You’re overestimating yourself.” 

Chloe froze, clutching her phone and unsure of what to say. Despite being accustomed to Benjamin’s treatment toward her, at this moment when everyone was misjudging her, she could not help feeling sorry for herself when he chose to align with those online bullies. Throughout her childhood, her father had only ever shown care and concern toward Ava, while toward her, he treated her as if she were a complete stranger. 

Seeing that she remained silent, Benjamin looked at her with disdain and snatched her phone from her. Chloe tried to retrieve her phone but was forcibly held down by the bodyguards. 

In the middle of her resistance, Benjamin found Fairlight’s HR contact information on her phone, composed a rejection message, sent it, and then shut off her phone. 

“You’re my father. Can’t you stand to see me doing well?” Chloe could no longer bear it and her voice trembled. 

“Enough! What I can’t stand is seeing you disgrace yourself!” Benjamin shouted in anger. Turning to the bodyguards, he ordered, “Take her home and lock her in the room. Don’t let her out.” 

Then, he got out of the car. 

Chloe started panicking. She tried several times to jump out of the car but to no avail. 

Half an hour later, they threw Chloe into her bedroom upon reaching the house and locked the door to prevent her from running away. 

As soon as Fairlight’s HR received the text message, they immediately tried to contact Chloe, but her phone was switched off. 

“Cecelia, if she doesn’t come, she doesn’t come. She has the ability to get rid of Mr. William, so why bother worrying about this?” one of the employees joked. 

“Yeah, who knows? She might even become our supervisor one day,” another chimed in. 

“Hahaha, that would really make those old–timers in the company lose their minds,” someone said with a laugh. 

The HR personnel for Fairlight was a mature woman called Cecelia Ross. She glanced at her 

colleagues and said sternly, “Don’t speak like that. William’s conduct was inappropriate, so it was just a matter of time before he was dismissed by the company.” 

Her colleagues sneered and went back to their respective workstations, quieting down. 

After thinking it over, Cecelia decided to report the matter to her manager.
