Chapter 409 As Long as Joe Is Happy, I’m Content
Xavia felt her heart race, anxiety bubbling within her. “Are you sure this plan will succeed? What if it’s discovered?”
“It has to work. It’s your only viable option. As per our initial plan, you need to find a way to terminate the pregnancy within three months. Do you think it’s still viable now?”
“Terminate the pregnancy?’ Xavia’s mind recoiled at the thought. She vigorously shook her head, realizing that if she followed through with that plan, she would lose her reason to remain by Joseph’s side, and things often do not go as smoothly as anticipated.
Vanya smiled sarcastically. “Well, the boss has done his part for you and paved the way for you. You’re fully aware of the consequences if you fail.”
“I’ll do my best to meet the boss’s expectations and not disappoint him. But what if Chloe reveals to Joseph that she’s also pregnant?”
“It doesn’t matter. Just make sure to publicly announce that you’re carrying Joseph’s child. Let everyone assume it as a fact. The rest will naturally fall into place.”
Xavia nodded in agreement, confident in her ability to captivate and control the men she pursued. However, she acknowledged that Joseph and Gabriel stood on different levels. She did not need Vanya to explain the boundaries of her actions. She knew exactly what to do next.
Today marked the official beginning of autumn. As Chloe strolled down the street, she marveled at the vibrant yellow leaves adorning the trees. A sudden gust of cool wind swept past her as she pulled up her collar and walked briskly into the Reese family-owned conglomerate firm.
Nathan led her to meet his father and briefly discussed the project requirements. It quickly became evident that the task at hand was even more challenging and demanding than Fairlight’s requirements but Chloe was not one to back down. No matter how difficult it seemed, she was
determined to give it her best shot.
After spending ten minutes conversing, Mr. Hugo, Nathan’s father, abruptly excused himself to attend to other pressing matters. Left alone, Nathan and Chloe delved into the specifics of the project. She listened intently, her focus unwavering, as she meticulously jotted down
in her notebook.

Nathan sighed and could not help but admire the captivating allure of an independent woman. His admiration was genuine, devoid of any hidden motives.
As their meeting concluded, Nathan glanced at the clock and prompted her, “Joe is waiting for you downstairs. If you have any questions, feel free to text me.”
Chloe was surprised. “Why is he here?”
“Must be something important,” Nathan chuckled and playfully rubbed his nose. “Go ask him.”
“Okay.”
She packed her notebook into her bag and went downstairs, where she saw Joseph waiting in a sleek black convertible Maybach. From afar, he exuded an air of sophistication, his tailored suit

accentuating his commanding presence. His gaze was lowered, carrying a hint of icy allure that surpassed mere handsomeness. He seemed like an unattainable deity, his looks possessing a lethal charm. Every time she laid eyes upon his face, it never failed to enchant her.
Chloe tenderly caressed her belly, hoping that the baby inside would be a boy that would inherit his father’s good looks. If he grew up and failed to excel in other aspects, his appearance alone could pave his way in life. As for a girl, she knew she would have to rely on her own talents, just
like Chloe herself.
She sat inside the car, fastening her seatbelt, and asked, “Are you here for business as well?”
“No, just catching up.”
“With Mr. Hugo?”
“Yeah.”
Chloe’s face wore a peculiar expression. “You’re catching up with Nathan’s father… Why do I suddenly feel like Nathan is of lower status compared to you?”
“If Nathan is willing, I don’t mind.”
“Where are we going?”
“To catch a movie. There’s a new one that just came out.”
Chloe was taken aback. “You’re taking me to watch a movie?”
‘Did the sun rise from the west?’ Chloe thought to herself. ‘In the past, whenever I wanted to go to,
the movies, he needed Grandpa to push him to seize the opportunity. Is Grandpa urging him.

Joseph’s eyes darkened. “What’s with that look? Am I treating you poorly?”
