"Get someone to handle the task," Joseph said.
“Yes, sir."

Two hours later, Joseph returned home and learned about what had happened. Though the bodyguards failed to stop Chloe, they held Jonathan back. After all, why should they take the blame when he was the one responsible?
However, Joseph just looked at Jonathan coldly and said, "Fuck off."
Jonathan was taken aback.
‘Does he no longer care about Chloe? He's letting me go so easily?' Jonathan wondered.
"So I can leave? I hope you won't be angry at us, Joe. We did it for your own good," Jonathan said cautiously, "My father is about to be released, and I'll bring him here to apologize to you. We’re still family, after all."
Joseph chuckled lazily. "Did your chip investment fail?"
Jonathan was stumped. "There have been some issues."
Initially, he could have withdrawn both the principal and the profits. However, there were some malfunctions with the chip.
"Okay." Joseph was not interested in Jonathan's matter. He waved, signaling for the latter to leave.
Feeling a sense of relief washed over him, Jonathan viciously spat at the bodyguards who had stopped him and swaggered away.
Joseph watched Jonathan’s departing figure and scoffed nonchalantly. After that, he turned to Lucas and asked, "Have you located Chloe?"
"Yes. She just checked into the Gemlight Hotel," Lucas said while sliding the screen of a tablet. "Ms. Chloe is quite cautious. The hotel is right next to the police station."
