Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368 Joseph Wanted to Take Advantage of You? 

The call was not on speakerphone, but Xavia leaned in closer, catching a few keywords that piqued her curiosity. 

Chloe, police, lawyer… 

The fragments of the conversation gave her an inkling that something involving Chloe had 

gone wrong. 

Joseph ended the call, his brow furrowed with concern. 

“Joe, what’s happened?” Xavia asked. 

Joseph’s voice carried heavy weight as he replied, “There’s something I need to attend to. I have to go.” 

“But…the doctor isn’t finished yet. Aren’t you worried about the baby’s health?” 

His gaze fell on her still–flat belly. “Contact Lucas if something comes up.” With that, he stood up and left. 

Xavia’s hands clenched tightly, her frustration and resentment boiling within her. “They’re already divorced. Why is she still trying to steal my man? What a two–faced bitch!” 

At the police station, Chloe was brought into the interrogation room. The situation was clear- cut. Aaron had disregarded her suggestion and continued to push the workers into overtime as he pleased. The purchase of necessary safety equipment was neglected, and the wages were delayed. Tragically, one of the workers lost their life due to issues with the safety rope. 

A chilling sensation swept over Chloe, her mind filled with regret. If only she had been more present at the construction site, perhaps she could have prevented such a tragedy. She had focused her energy on the company, believing that minor accidents were an unfortunate norm in the construction industry. She never anticipated such a severe incident that would lead to a 

loss of life. 

Soon after, the families of the workers arrived. Among them was a middle–aged woman, her eyes swollen from crying, accompanied by a seven or eight–year–old child. As her gaze met Chloe’s, a mix of hatred and anger emanated from her. Chloe’s composure shattered as the woman unleashed her fury, physically and verbally attacking her. Thankfully, the police. intervened swiftly, preventing any significant harm. 

Chloe’s heart sank, consumed by unease. She contemplated the woman’s words, feeling the weight of her responsibility. “Please, express your demands. I’ll do everything in my power to fulfill them and offer compensation.” 

“I want my husband back! Can you compensate for that?!” 

Chloe lowered her head, her voice filled with remorse. “I’m so sorry…” 

Both parties failed to reach a settlement, resulting in Chloe being temporarily detained. 

Coincidentally, Tyson was on leave that day but hurried to the station as soon as he received a call from Joseph. He instructed his colleagues to take special care of Chloe, emphasizing that she was his relative. 

As Chloe sat there, a sense of helplessness grew within her. She felt that she could not simply wait passively and called out to a nearby officer, “Excuse me, could you please return my phone? I need to contact my lawyer.” 

The officer glanced at her and responded, “Hang on.” 

Shortly after, Tyson arrived at the station. “Joe has contacted Samuel to be your lawyer. We 

just need to wait for updates from Samuel. Stay put. No one will dare to bully you,” he reassured Chloe. 

Chloe was taken aback, her heart filled with mixed emotions. “Joseph…knows about my situation?” 

“Yeah, he called me this morning,” Tyson replied, unaware of their current circumstances. ” Don’t worry too much. Just wait patiently for updates. Joe cares about you and won’t let anything bad happen to you.” 

Chloe smiled bitterly. “We’re divorced.” 

Tyson was surprised. “Just recently?” 

‘About two months ago.” 

He took the opportunity to ask inquisitively, “Your half–sister was brought in not long ago. Are you aware of this?” 

“Huh?” Chloe looked up, a bit confused. 

Observing her reaction, Tyson decided to tell her everything. “Ava went to your office with sulfuric acid intending to harm you. Luckily, Joe caught her in the act and had her brought here. She’s currently detained for intention to cause bodily harm.” 

Chloe’s almond–shaped eyes widened slightly. “When exactly was she brought in?” 

He pondered for a moment and provided her with the date. 

Chloe’s fingertips trembled, and an indescribable sensation washed over her. It was complex and overwhelming. What was her place in Joseph’s heart? He protected her, yet he also humiliated her. 

“Can I see Ava?” she asked. 

Tyson hesitated for a moment. “Let me consult with my superiors.” 

Chloe nodded gently in understanding. “Thank you.”
