Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 4
“You’re her younger sister. Of course, she only wants the best for you.”
“I’m sorry, Coco. I’ll call off the engagement tomorrow,” Ava said, her lovely eyes shimmering with tears. She looked like she was a victim of Chloe’s unreasonable claims.
“Although we can’t force someone to love us and since you like him, as your older sister, I shouldn’t have gotten too close to him…”
Getting dumped by Jake had hurt, but Ava’s words felt like salt in a wound. Chloe was enraged as she hissed, “Too close? You mean sleep with him?”
“That’s enough!” Benjamin could not take it anymore and shouted in anger. “The engagement will proceed as planned. The invitations have already been sent out. I can’t afford to become the laughingstock of the city like you!”
“But I’m only telling the truth!”
Chloe’s eyes turned red as she pointed at Karen, emphasizing every word that spilled out of her mouth, “Ava and she are the kind of people who like to steal other people’s husbands. Why do you believe everything they say?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Benjamin raised his hand and slapped Chloe with all his might, throwing her head to the side and causing her ears to ring.
A trace of satisfaction crossed Karen’s eyes. However, she feigned panic and stepped up to stop Benjamin. “What are you doing, Ben? How could you slap Coco?”
“She’s spoiled rotten, and you still want to take her side? Stay in this house if you can, and if you can’t, get lost. You’re just like your mother who died early, bringing bad luck wherever you go.” Benjamin was infuriated and stared at Chloe in disgust.
The way he looked at her was not like that of a father. Instead, it felt like he was looking at an enemy.
“It’s normal for kids of her age to have a temper. You have to wake up early tomorrow. Let’s go to bed,” Karen said before gesturing at Ava. “You stay here and keep Coco company.”
