Chapter 259 Imbalanced Contract
Samuel stared at his phone. Five minutes passed, yet there was no response from Joseph. He decided to text Joseph again.
[Are you busy working?]
[Seriously? Do people lose their wives because they’re too busy with work?]
[No wonder your wife wants to cheat on you,] he commented.
Icarus’ birthday party took place in a secluded villa.
Joseph stepped on the brake, his gaze accurately locked onto Chloe through the nearby floor- to-ceiling windows. She held a glass of red wine, her face adorned with a charming smile as she conversed with Icarus. She did not look like a girl who had just broken up boyfriend.
with her
He felt himself a fool. He actually thought that she had bought the suit for him.
Joseph’s anger turned into a twisted smirk, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth. He dialed a string of numbers on his phone and punched the call button. “You have one minute to come
out.”
Inside the room, Chloe trembled at the voice coming from her phone. “Where are you?”
“Look outside the window.”
Their eyes met, Joseph’s gaze was cold and menacing, his features grim.
Chloe averted her eyes in embarrassment. “How did you know to come here?”
“Come out. Don’t make me say it a third time, or should I go in and find you?”
“Don’t. I’ll come out.”
She did not know what Joseph was capable of when he got angry and she did not want to ruin someone else’s birthday party.
“I’m sorry, I have something to attend to. I’m going to step out for a moment.”
Icarus looked at her worriedly. “Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, don’t worry about me. Enjoy your party.” Chloe did not say much. She simply pushed open the door and left.
Icarus’s gaze followed her all the way until he spotted Joseph, and his brows furrowed deeply.
“How did you find this place?” Chloe looked at the man before her, her tone filled with
confusion. She had not disclosed her plans for the day to anyone. Besides, she had just got here not long ago.
“Am I not allowed to come?” Joseph’s eyes held a mocking glint. “Are you afraid I’ll spoil your good time?”
Chloe furrowed her brows. Just when she was about to explain, she realized that they had already broken up. Deciding to ignore his cold and sarcastic remarks, she calmly asked, “Is there something you want from me?”
Chloe’s nonchalant attitude was like a raging fire, burning away the last shreds of rationality in Joseph. He seized her wrist forcefully, yanking her toward the car, his actions brimming with aggression and devoid of any hint of gentleness.
“Come home with me.”
