Chapter 424 A Slight Humiliation
Downstairs, Joseph was driving himself, and when Chloe got into the car, seatbelt. “Did you contact the prison?”
she put on her
“We’re scheduled to visit him at two o’clock this afternoon.” He tilted his head and looked at her. “Do you like the bags I bought you?”
“Yes, but why did you buy so many? I can’t possibly use them all.”
“You can just keep them.”
Chloe replied, “It’s a waste to just leave them there. I kept a few that I liked and sold the rest on a secondhand platform.”
“Okay.”
Surprisingly, Joseph did not show much of a reaction. He felt that it was unnecessary to be indulgent and change one’s bag every day. They were just containers for one to carry things
with.
After passing a crossroad and the traffic started to disperse, traveling on the large road became much smoother and the car picked up speed.
In the meantime, an executive of Fairlight called Joseph and asked about several matters. With his Bluetooth earpiece on, he easily taught his employee how to handle the issues. At the same time, his slender and refined fingers controlled the steering wheel languidly, inexplicably managing to keep everything under control.
After the call ended, Chloe questioned, “Do you have unfinished work at the company today?”
“Some.”
“I can go on my own.”
Joseph frowned but did not respond. He drove to their destination. After parking the car neatly, he turned his bewitching dark eyes to her. “Are you still mad at me?”
Chloe tilted her face. “No, I’m not.”
“Yes, you are.”
She took a deep breath. Unable to hold it in, she suddenly raised her voice. “What else do you want me to do? Do you expect me to just generously accept the child of you and Xavia? I’m sorry but I can’t do that!”
That child would always remind her of what happened that night, and that was probably Xavia’s goal. Even if she were not around, she would use the child to disgust Chloe.
“I know that I’ve wronged you.” Joseph’s handsome face was tense. He took out his phone and
clicked on something before he transferred some money to her.
Chloe’s phone beeped. She knew that it was because of Joseph, so she took out her phone and looked at it with some doubt. When she saw the seven-digit figure, her lips twitched hard.
“Why?”
“I want to coax you.”
Chloe felt slightly humiliated. She sneered and demanded, “Do you think I can be pacified with money?” She would be over the moon if he used that kind of method to pacify her if it was just their general quibbles, but he used the same method when it was a violation of her principles. She felt that he did not respect her.
This was Joseph’s first time lowering himself to please a woman, but the results were the opposite of his imagination. He failed to coax her, and on the contrary, she became even angrier.
His handsome, perfect face sank. “Chloe, is there something wrong with your hearing?”
