The enraged Noah threw himself at Joseph.
Joseph, knowing Noah was well-versed in fighting, knew that simply dodging would not work. He chose the right moment and delivered a powerful punch.
They quickly broke out into a full-on fistfight.
Chloe watched as her heart pounded. For a moment, she forgot her own pain and hobbled forward, wanting to find someone to pull Joseph and Noah apart. But there was no one within their vicinity, so hoping someone to pass them was hopeless.
Noah and Joseph started sporting bruises as they threw punches at each other.
With determination, Chloe spread her arms apart as she positioned herself in between them. She shouted angrily, "Stop fighting!"
At that moment, Joseph had already thrown his punch and could not retract it. He quickly changed direction, and the punch that was headed for her landed on the wooden column of a pavilion. The impact between flesh and wood produced a loud thud, sounding rather painful.
Chloe's face turned pale with fright. She hurriedly checked his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She had only wanted them to stop fighting, not having anticipated things to turn out this way.
Joseph was not seriously hurt, but seeing her concern for him elicited a warm feeling within him. He deliberately furrowed his brow and said, "It's fine. It’s a little painful but nothing serious."
Chloe looked around for Vince and urgently said, "Where's your assistant? Have him take you to the hospital, quickly.”
Chloe stared at him with her mouth agape. It took her a while to find her voice. "Y-Yes... I'll go home with you..."
She dared not imagine what might happen next if she refused. Joseph was injured, and she could not stop Noah on her own.
Frowning, Joseph said, "If you don't want to go with him, don't. I'll protect you."
"No, I want to go. It's time for me to go home anyway," Chloe said. She was worried that Noah might do something crazy.
Before Joseph could say anything else, Chloe followed Noah away and got into the car.
