Chapter 447 Turning His Father’s House Into a Graveyard
Chloe woke up to find it was the middle of the night. She grabbed her phone to check the time, discovering that it was 2 a.m. Having caught up on a full night’s sleep, she wondered if she
should sleep till morning or get up.
After ten minutes of wrestling with her thoughts, her growling stomach made the decision for
her.
Joseph was still in the living room, fast asleep. With his eyes sealed shut, he appeared innocent. and tranquil. Even when he was lying on the sofa, he exuded an aura of refinement and elegance.
Suddenly, Joseph cracked his eyes open and pulled Chloe into his embrace. “Finally decided to come out?”
Chloe was irritated. “Were you pretending to sleep?”
“No, I couldn’t sleep.” He rested his chin on her shoulder and said slovenly, “Are you hungry?
“Yeah.”
“Go to the kitchen.”
Chloe looked at him in disbelief. “Did you cook?”
“I had the chef come and prepare it.”
“Where did the chef come from?”
“The family home.”
Entering the kitchen, Chloe was greeted by the enchanting aroma of simmering mushroom soup on the stove. Next to it, a loaf of fresh-baked bread was waiting to be devoured.
After having a bowl of soup and some bread, Chloe felt satisfied and calm. When she returned to the living room, she realized that Joseph had closed his eyes again. This time, he was truly asleep, his long eyelashes casting faint shadows on his cheeks.
She poked him a few times with her finger, but he did not stir. She stared at him for a while, then went to grab a blanket from the bedroom to cover him. She then went to the bathroom to freshen up and brush her teeth.
The next morning, Chloe was up at six.
Joseph was outside on a call. Despite his efforts to keep his voice down, she caught snippets of his conversation.
It seemed to be about Jonathan’s unauthorized sale of his father’s house. Intrigued, Chloe put on her slippers and stepped outside to listen in.
“You keep an eye on things over there, I’ll be there soon,” Joseph said before hanging up. He then put on his coat, preparing to leave.
Chloe looked puzzled. “Where are you going?”
“Emerald Heights,” Joseph replied. He paused for a moment and added, “That’s where my
father’s house is located.”
Even though they knew the buyer’s information, this person had yet to show up. He moved some stuff in yesterday, then disappeared.
This morning, they got word that more stuff was being moved in. The items were quite large, but the other end was evasive and did not provide a clear answer, so Joseph decided to go and see for himself.
“I’ll come with you,” Chloe offered. Perhaps they might discover clues about the suicide note.
