Chapter 408 Deception Will Only Last for So Long
Xavia seethed with anger, dreading that if she remained any longer, she might lose control and unleash a torrent of curses at this bitch.
She turned to Joseph and uttered, “I’m leaving. Don’t forget to accompany me for the prenatal check-up in a few days. The doctor mentioned that my condition requires special attention due to undergoing chemotherapy. It’s best to have a family member present during the check-up in case of emergencies.”
Joseph exchanged a glance with Lucas, clearly conveying his intentions. Lucas stepped forward, reassured, “Ms. Xavia, I’ll accompany you. I’m sure you’re aware that Mr. Joseph has numerous official matters demanding his attention on a daily basis.”
Xavia mustered a smile that held more sorrow than tears, yet she fought to maintain her composure. “That will do.” She swiftly made her way out, anxious that she might lose control and engage Chloe in a confrontation. In the blink of an eye, only Chloe and Joseph remained in the office.
Joseph settled onto the sofa, propping up his chin with one hand. “So, do you finally believe that night was an accident?”
“I do.”
Chloe was not the type to cling to something once it was explained clearly. Xavia was almost infuriated just a moment ago, and if it were not an accident, her reaction would have been
different.
“Will you come to the family home with me tomorrow?”
“No, I have to go to work.”
He furrowed his brow slightly and disagreed, “Don’t overexert yourself.”
Chloe blinked her eyes. “This isn’t about exerting myself. It’s about striving for a happy life.”
“It’s not a problem for me to support you in everything, you know.”
“I never asked you to support me.” She knew very well that relying on others was not as reliable as relying on herself. After a pause, she added, “We’re in a cooling-off period. We should not interfere in each other’s lives.”
Joseph clicked his tongue and found it somewhat amusing. “How could you be so oblivious to what’s good for you?”
Chloe snorted lightly, “I’m leaving.”
“I’ll drive you home.”
She did not refuse as the misunderstanding had been resolved and the frustration in her chest had dissipated.
“I’ve moved out of the Johnson residence and rented a new place.”
Joseph nodded, “I know.”
“Hmm?”
“Gabe owns the apartment you rented. That whole street belongs to his family.”
Chloe was speechless. ‘So, this is the life of the wealthy… However, the main point is that the real estate agent disclosed tenants’ personal information. I’m going to leave them a bad review!’
Filled with anger upon returning home, Xavia found herself restless and unable to sleep. She took out her phone and dialed Vanya Morgan’s number.
On the other end, Vanya removed her mask, revealing a pair of sharp eyes. “What’s the matter?”
“Can we attempt to assassinate Chloe again?”
“No.”
