Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 536

Chloe found herself speechless, unsure why Preston had to involve her in this mess.

"I'm nothing like you. You have a wife and a mistress, living a life of pleasure that I can only dream of for the rest of my days." Joseph sneered, a cold smile playing on the corner of his lips. Each word cut deeper than the preceding one.

Preston could sense the disappointment in Harold's eyes, and his face turned red with embarrassment. However, Joseph paid no attention to Preston’s complaints and left Patrick with some instructions before leaving with Chloe.

As soon as Joseph left, Preston put on a false smile and said, "Dad, just stay here and focus on recovering. Don't worry about the medical expenses. I'll take care of them."

"I own half this hospital. Do you think I need your help?" Harold retorted.

"Dad, let me fulfill my duty as your son, all right? Your health hasn't been great recently, so let's not argue over trivial matters. I know having a mistress is wrong, and I've already paid for my mistake."

Harold's anger abated a little as he asked, "Have you divorced Tavia?"

"Of course not. After twenty years of marriage, how could I simply say 'Let's get divorced?’" Preston replied. On the outside, he appeared unwilling to part with Octavia due to their relationship, but deep down, he simply was not ready to part with his assets and give them to her.

"Did you break it off with the other woman?" Harold asked.

"Yes, I did," Preston replied.

"Well, at least you're not a complete fool. Apologize to Tavia properly and live the straight and narrow from now on."

At Preston’s age, divorce would only bring mutual harm, and there would be no benefits for either party.

"Yes, you're right," Preston agreed. Feeling that the moment was right, he continued, "Dad, how about transferring your funds, properties, and assets to me? I'll take care of them for you, and you can focus on recovering."

Harold's heart skipped a beat and he nearly choked on his saliva. "So this was your purpose for coming today?"
