Chloe took a deep breath. ‘I’m so tired of hearing that name.’
She handed the lunchbox to Lucas and forcefully kicked open the office door in frustration.
Xavia let out a startled cry. She covered her face and hid behind Joseph while Megan looked Chloe up and down in disdain. "Why didn't you knock? You scared me."
"Why should I knock when I'm looking for my husband? Are you doing something inappropriate that you don't want others to see?"
"How dare you! O-Of course, not…" Megan retorted, stealing a glance at Joseph. It went without saying that she secretly wished she could engage in some secretive affair with him. That way, her life would have changed entirely, just like Chloe's.
"Are you here to have lunch?" Joseph looked at Chloe lovingly.
However, Chloe locked her gaze on Xavia behind him, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Why are you covering your face? It's not like you're a ghost that’s afraid of the light."
"Xavia has suffered enough. Please choose your words carefully," Megan snapped.
"She's suffered enough?"
"The swelling on her face is quite severe, and she might be left with scars," Joseph replied.
Chloe paused. "What happened?"
"She said it was Noah who did it."
"What? Noah? That's impossible."
Noah and Xavia had no connection whatsoever. Besides, Noah was always gentle and polite to others. How could he be capable of violence?
"I'm not making it up! It was Noah who hit me!" Xavia exclaimed as she stepped forward.
