Chapter 429 That Sinful Gaze
After going to the washroom, Chloe returned to her seat as if nothing had happened.
Amber and the man looked at the glass of orange juice in front of Chloe from time to time, but Chloe simply munched on her fries and raised a random topic for conversation. As expected, Amber enthusiastically chimed in when she heard Chloe ask about the man.
Chloe selected a time and purposely shoved their car keys that were on the table to the floor as if it was an accident. When they bent over to pick up the keys, she quickly exchanged her glass with Amber’s. Coincidentally, both of them had ordered orange juice and had not drunk much
of it.
After chatting for a while, Chloe picked up her glass and took a few sips under their gazes.
Hidden smugness washed over Amber, but she was a little regretful. But on second thought, she felt that she did not have to show Chloe any compassion because Chloe was just a homewrecker who meddled in others’ love affairs.
Twenty minutes passed, but the woman before her appeared calm and normal. She talked and laughed with good spirits. On the other hand, Amber felt a hot sensation grasping her. She took off her coat, but it did not eliminate the heat that engulfed her. 1
The man was baffled too. ‘Was it rendered ineffective after being in the drink for too long?”
“Are you done yet?”
A male voice tinged with coldness came from afar.
Chloe turned around and looked over. The man was wearing a light, black shirt, standing at the door of the cafe absent-mindedly with a suit jacket on his arm. He was endowed with relaxation and languidness as well as reckless wildness.
When the man saw Joseph, he became terrified. He realized all too late that Amber had lied to him, so he did not dare to say a word, fearing that Joseph might find fault with him.
Chloe had no intention of wasting any more time on them, so she smiled happily and waved at Joseph before saying, “Bye now. By the way, there’s no need to give me a ride. I noticed that there seems to be something wrong with Mrs. Amber. Please take good care of her.”
At this time, Amber’s consciousness had become blurry. Rosiness crept up her cheeks as she unconsciously tugged at the fabric in front of her chest, revealing quite a large part of it.
When the man saw this, he was stunned. ‘Did she drink the orange juice that was drugged?”
Chloe got into the shotgun seat and watched through the car window as Amber lost her sanity. Amber refused to let go of the man, touching him all over and making the surrounding people look at them with weird gazes. The scene became rather awkward.

Joseph looked over indifferently. “That your handiwork?”
“Yeah, I exchanged our drinks. If not, the person who would be behaving impudently now would be me.”
A sense of darkness flashed through his eyes as he reversed the car back to the cafe. Looking at Amber and the man, he asked, “What are their names?”
Chloe thought for a while before deciding to tell him.
At the Whitman family home.
Surprisingly, Jonathan was there in branded clothes. He appeared to be in good spirits, which showed that he led quite a good life recently.
“Joe, you’re here.” He stood up and greeted Joseph. When he saw Chloe, he glanced at her lightly before averting his gaze.
Chloe was fine with this and went to sit with Harold to chat with him.
“Joe, my chip research center is proceeding smoothly. Many successful men have invested in it. Are you sure you don’t want to be a part of it?”
Joseph gave him a sidelong glance. “Get lost.”
Jonathan’s face flushed. “You’ll regret this.”
When he successfully produced a new chip for cars, the whole world would be astounded. That would be the best time for him to make a name for himself and he would become the most outstanding person in the Whitman family, surpassing Joseph by leaps and bounds.
