Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 858

“Mr. Joseph isn't dead yet, but how did you hear about this?"

"Huh? I read about it online."

Lucas' heart sank. He quickly turned on the computer beside him and the headline popped up. The displayed photos were the same as the ones presented by Preston and Jonathan.

Lucas felt disgusted. He did not need to think to know that Preston and his son were the ones who had released this information. They wanted everyone to know that Joseph had died so that Jonathan could take over.

"He's not dead?" Emily asked, "Is this just a false rumor spread by the media?"

"It's not the media. It's Preston," Lucas said as he pinched his brows, "I don't know why he and Jonathan suddenly returned, but someone must’ve tipped them off. Maybe Mr. Joseph's accident is related to them."

Emily felt a shiver run down her spine. This looks like a trap specifically for Joseph. How’s he doing now?"

Lucas sighed heavily, "Not well. Vince went to look for him but has still yet to find him. He's now searching the bottom of the cliff."

Emily pressed her lips together and asked, "So why are you looking for Coco?"

"There's something I need to tell her."

"What is it about?"

Lucas hesitated for a while and said, "It's something very important."

"If you don't tell me, I won't help you," Emily said. After all, Chloe had been ill lately and Emily did not want to trigger her again.

Smiling bitterly, Lucas said, "Are you worried that I’ll harm Ms. Chloe?"

"It's not that, but if you want my help, I need to know the whole story. Coco’s my best friend, and I just want to protect her."
