Chapter 363 Insist on Being a Fickle Woman
Chloe’s outfit was not flamboyant and rather casual. She had on a short sweater with a beret and a pair of jeans, exposing only a finger-width of her waist. She appeared young and lively. Standing next to Noah, they appeared like a couple.
Joseph tugged at his tie and kept his composure, but his cold look frightened people.
Octavia, who had planned to find trouble with him, did not dare to approach him.
Chloe spotted Joseph, becoming slightly nervous as she tried to stick close to Harold.
Joseph caught the change in Chloe’s expression and anguish hit his soul, filling him with pain and gloominess.
When the birthday party started, Harold saw the cake Chloe had gifted him. When he heard that she baked the cake herself, he grinned from ear to ear. He then showed it off smugly. Look! She baked it herself. The best presents are those that time is spent on.”

“Only poor people make the presents themselves to pretend to be attentive,” Octavia muttered softly.
Harold was old and lacked sharp hearing. He did not hear what Octavia said, but Chloe did.
She glanced at Octavia and smiled faintly. “I did bring a present,” she said loudly, and the surrounding people looked over.
Disdain engulfed Octavia’s expression. “What present did you bring? Show us.”
“I gifted it to Grandpa. It’s a chess set.”
Chloe had hurriedly gone to buy it this afternoon. Of course, it was nothing for rich people, but she had not bought a cheap item either.
“I saw the chess set. The carvings are very nice. I have the same set at home.” Noah suddenly spoke up as if he was just making a casual comment.
Chloe looked up at him and knew that he was trying to get her out of the predicament. She now had an even better impression of him. She smiled as she looked at him.
When Joseph saw the interaction between them, he clenched his fists tightly. Deep anger filled his chest. ‘She’s casting sheep’s eyes at him and is being all intimate with him but she won’t even stay with me for more than half a minute.’ He chose to close his eyes. When he opened them, they were somber and without emotion. ‘Forget it. She’s the one who insists on being a fickle woman. I won’t go easy on her again.’
Octavia was flabbergasted. ‘Why is this bumpkin so generous?’
The Sullivan family used the best things. Even when casually buying a chess set, it would surely be valuable.
Harold coughed and frowned with annoyance. “Okay, the gift is just a kind gesture. I like the
cake more.”
He then glanced at Joseph because he thought that Joseph had failed him again. ‘What’s the matter with this brat today? His wife has been here for such a long time but he hasn’t said a
word.’
A few pianists were talking endlessly outside the house, wanting to enter the house. “We were invited to come and perform here. We charge by the time. You’re just a guard. Don’t stop us from earning money.”
Patrick faked a smile. “We didn’t invite anyone to perform today. Please leave.”
“That’s impossible. It was the young madam of the Whitman family who hired us to celebrate Mr. Harold’s birthday for him.”
Ronald Atkinson enjoyed great fame in the piano field. He could earn 100 thousand dollars
