Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 846

Emily scoffed. "I've heard of private hospitals ripping off their patients, but I've never heard of part-time scams. This is ridiculous.”

Chloe remained expressionless. Her delicate and beautiful face turned serious, making her look quite intimidating. She had only intended to spend some money. Little did she know that they would make a complete mockery out of her.

"I do have 150 thousand dollars, but words are just words. You haven't presented any evidence of wrongdoing, so why should I pay you?" she said as she glanced at the time on her phone. "Here's the deal. I know that medical equipment is costly, so let’s call the police to determine if this is a scam or not. I don't mind solving this through legal or private means."

"Sure, no problem," the doctor readily said and squinted at the hospital Dean with a sly grin. "Let’s call the police right now. I was starting to worry about the hospital's profit for the month. A fat sheep coming to us for the slaughter sure is a welcome sight."

The doctor stared at Chloe, swallowing his saliva as he anticipated the prospect of getting both money and pleasure out of this situation. After all, even the wealthiest individuals feared getting involved with the police. Chloe was young and wealthy, and he assumed she was someone's mistress. If things escalated, she would probably get scared.

Chloe picked up her coffee, pondering whether she should contact someone too. She recalled the Sullivans having some connections within the police station.

"Leave it to me," Joseph said, his voice turning chilly as he smirked condescendingly.

"Yes, let's leave it to Daddy. He and I will protect you,” Jasper said with determination as he patted Chloe’s back earnestly in consolation.

Chloe smiled and nodded as her heart filled with warmth. She sighed inwardly, imagining how wonderful it would be if Jasper were her child. Having a child with such good looks, emotional intelligence, and smarts would be like winning the jackpot.

Joseph, whom Chloe ignored, took a deep breath and gazed at her with a smile that did not quite reach his eyes. He wanted her to see that Jasper was all talk. When push came to shove, it was he who took action.

Why could she not look at him instead? Did he really become less attractive because he was older now?

Joseph's handsome face darkened slightly, and he sent a text message to Lucas.
