Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 545

“Patrick did as you instructed and accepted the medicine Dr. Spencer prescribed as per normal.

“Also, Dr. Frederick has confirmed that the herbs Ms. Chloe has been taking are normal herbs to regulate her blood circulation. He says that she can go ahead with one round of the treatment and see how it goes.

"Lastly, Otto lied to Preston. He gave Preston an empty promise." When Lucas reached this point, he gave Joseph an admiring gaze. "Thankfully, you long guessed that the Sinclairs would start with Preston and made preparations by changing the documents in the safe. Otherwise, Preston would have ruined Whitman Group."

‘Mr. Joseph sure pulled off an awesome feat and planned ahead.’

Joseph opened his eyes as he smirked. "Did anyone in the family try to beg for mercy on Pres’ behalf?"

"No one else but Jonathan. He came once but Patrick turned him away."

Joseph's noble face became unfathomable. "Because of Jon, I’ve long sensed something fishy.”

Jonathan claimed to have invested in a chip research center. Given his intelligence, there were only two possibilities that he would end up making money—he either got lucky or was deceived.

There were few centers doing chip research within the country, and it was easy to find out the mastermind with a little investigation. Other than the Sinclairs, others would not have meddled with the Whitman Group even if they had an ulterior motive.

After some thought, Lucas said, "Why didn't you tell Jonathan about this?"

"Both parties were willing. There's no reason for me to stop him. What's more, Jon won't listen to me even if I told him to back down. I can't change who he is."

"But you’re allowing him to be entrapped when you know it's a trap. I'm sure Mr. Harold will feel sorry for Jonathan if he finds out."

After all, Preston was useless now.

"We can’t show others mercy. Do you think that useless Jon is Otto’s real target?”

Listening to Joseph's reminder, Lucas was enlightened. "Is Otto trying to take you down through Jonathan's hands?"

Joseph did not deny it. "Pres is a good example."
