Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 500

Preston's face became as dark as the bottom of a burnt kettle, and Octavia looked distressed. Was Joseph destined to kick them out?

"Tell Jon to get back here. How could he still be in the mood to go galavanting when we're about to lose everything we have?!"

Octavia called Jonathan, but he told her some fantastic news.

"Mom, our chip research was a success. I'll be receiving 300 million dollars as a bonus."

Overwhelmed with excitement, Octavia could hardly speak coherently, "This is great! You truly are wonderful, my son! "

Preston snatched the phone and said, "Hurry up and come back. You're now our only hope of taking Joe down."

Octavia hesitated for a moment and said, "But dear, 300 million dollars is nothing to Joe."

"You fool," Preston berated her exasperatingly, "With that much money, we can do a lot. We don't have to confront him head-on."

After watching the live broadcast, Chloe called Joseph. However, he seemed too busy to answer her call.

Worried about Harold's condition, Chloe went to the hospital and saw Patrick.

"Patrick, where's Grandpa?"

A hint of relief flashed across Patrick's eyes as he said, "He's resting inside the ward right now."

"Can I go in and see him?"

"Well… Mr. Harold said he doesn't want to see you or Mr. Joseph for now."

Chloe's heart skipped a beat. 'Oh my… It seems like they really have fallen out.'

"Hah, this is just the beginning."

After leaving the hospital, Chloe stood by the roadside as she gazed at the flowing traffic dazedly.

Just a few days ago, they had been sitting together, laughing and chatting over a meal. How could things have changed so quickly?

Did Harold not adore her? Why would he refuse to see her?

Though she did not know what Joseph had said to Harold to cause such a drastic change in their relationship, she was certain that most of what Otto had said that day was true—Joseph's mother was still alive.

Unconsciously, Chloe found herself standing in front of Fairlight. Reporters crowded the entrance, swarming her as soon as they spotted her, clamoring to get a piece of the story.
