Chapter 304 Don’t Mess With Me

Chapter 304 Don’t Mess With Me

Hannah couldn’t help but feel resigned as she had to order takeout for them again. Once Christopher finished eating, he went straight back to crash for some more sleep.

After Joe rested for a bit, Hannah stuck a few more needles in m.

Once she was done, Joe felt good as new. “Thanks, Hannah.”

“No need to thank me,” Hannah said as she disinfected the needles and packed them away. “So, what happened between you and Chloe last night?”

Joe blinked in surprise. ‘How did Hannah even know I ran into Chloe last night?’ he thought to himself.

But then it hit him. ‘With the way Hannah and Barnaby operate, they probably already dug up everything that happened by

now.’

Thinking back to how Chloe shoved him so hard last night, Joe Just knew deep down she hadn’t meant to hurt him. They’d lost their parents when they were just kids, and Joe had raised Chloe all on his own. He knew her better than anyone. She couldn’t even kill a chicken, so hurting someone was out of the question. She’d just been way too upset. Hannah was always swamped, and Joe didn’t want to bother her with their family mess any more than necessary. She’d already done more than enough for them. He realized he’d been gnoring Chloe’s feelings, and this was something he had to sort out himself.

Joe explained, “I just tripped and fell on my own. She probably doesn’t even know about it.”

‘If she knew, she would’ve come to check on me,’ Joe thought.

Hannah shot him a skeptical look. “Are you sure?”

Worried Hannah might go after Chloe, Joe quickly said, “It really wasn’t Chloe’s fault. I just never thought she’d end up with Percival Nox. I’m sorry. I didn’t do a good job raising her. Once I’m discharged, I’ll go find her and bring her back so she can apologize to you.”

As he spoke, he started to throw off the covers, ready to get out of bed.

Hannah stopped him. “No need. She’s got better opportunities now, I won’t hold her back. As long as she doesn’t hurt you two, that’s all I care about.”

She’d given Chloe a choice before, and now she finally had her answer.

As for what Chloe’s up to with the Reese family, Hannah would just wait and see.

Joe felt deeply moved. ‘Hannah’s always treated Chloe so well. How could Chloe be so dumb and go running off to the Reese family?’ he thought.

‘No way. I have to bring Chloe back so she can apologize to Hannah herself, Joe resolved.

Hannah had wanted Joe to stay in the hospital for a few more days, but no matter what she said, he refused to stay.

“I’m fine now. This place is way too expensive. I can rest just as well at home,” Joe insisted.

Since Joe wouldn’t back down, Hannah let it go. They got him discharged at noon and headed home together.

Hannah had more important things on her plate, so she wasn’t too worried about Chloe.

Over the next week, she made her way to the Thole Group headquarters for meetings and took on Howard Thole’s request for a new chip development project. She and Spencer Lynch had three months to deliver a full R&D plan.

While brainstorming the project, she also carved out time to team up with Percival Nox and work on ways to wake Eric Lynch from his condition.

Barnaby couldn’t help but feel for her seeing how swamped she was. He pulled her into a hug and asked, “Is there anything I can do to help?”

Hannah pushed him away, not missing a beat. “Just don’t give me a hard time, okay?”

Barnaby was left speechless.

‘How do you even deal with a girlfriend who’s basically married her job?’ Barnaby wondered.

Just as Hannah was up to her ears in work, news about Chloe suddenly broke.

[Shocking! Daisy Reese Isn’t the Reese Family’ Successfully unlocked!

A gossip article suddenly blew up on social media, icatummy areny med and edited video by the paparazzi. In the clip, Chloe was seen walking arm in arm with Mrs. Reese as they left the hospital’s DNA testing center. Honestly, the two of them did look kind of similar.

At the end of the video, the reporter asked the nurse, “So, what kind of tests do you guys run here?”

The nurse answered, “Paternity tests.”

As soon as the news dropped, it shot straight to the top of the trending topics. With Daisy Reese’s name already trashed by recent scandals, the gossip-hungry netizens couldn’t wait to see what kind of drama was about to unfold.

Gossip reporters rushed over to the Reese family, all eager to uncover even more scandalous gossip.

Chloe seized the opportunity and went out shopping with Mr. and Mrs. Reese, only to be instantly surrounded by a pack of

reporters.

When the reporters saw Chloe staying at the Reese mansion, that was all the proof they needed. The rumors were real

“Dr. Reese, there are rumors going around that Daisy isn’t your biological daughter, and that Chloe is. Is that true?”

“Now that you’ve found your real daughter, aren’t you going to make it official and announce it to the public?”

“With Daisy’s scandals dragging down Reese Pharmaceuticals’ stock, aren’t you planning to set the record straight and go public about who your real daughter is?”

Mrs. Reese was lost for words.

Microphones were shoved in their faces from every direction, but Chloe quickly stepped in front of Mrs. Reese to shield her. “My mom’s not feeling well, so please, give her some space. Don’t crowd her.”

That one word “mom” was all the proof anyone needed. Chloe had officially claimed her spot in the Reese family, and the press went into a frenzy. The reporters packed in even tighter, completely blocking their way.

“Ask me anything you want, just don’t hurt my wife,” Mr. Reese said with a weary sigh, stepping in to shield her.

Instantly, every microphone swung in his direction.

He started answering their questions, taking his time with each one.

“Honestly, we didn’t plan to make a big deal out of this, but since everyone’s dying to know, I’ll just lay it out for you,” Mr. Reese started.

“Daisy isn’t our real daughter. After my wife had our oldest son, Her health took a hit. She always dreamed of having a girl, but I didn’t want her to go through any more hardship, so we ended up adopting Daisy together.

“Later, when my wife finally got better, we had Chloe. But not long after Chloe was born, a maid slipped up and she was snatched away by traffickers.

“It wasn’t until recently, when my wife had an accident and needed blood, that Chloe stepped up to donate. That’s when we found out they were really mother and daughter.”

As Mr. Reese spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Reese and Chloe with a gentle, loving gaze, and the two of them shared a warm smile in return.

The three of them looked like a picture-perfect family in front of the cameras, so happy and harmonious that even the reporters had to admit they were a little envious.

“And what about Daisy? What’s going to happen to her now?” one of the reporters pressed.

“As for Daisy, even though she made mistakes, she’s always been family to us. Even now that Chloe’s back, Daisy is still the Reese family’s eldest miss, and Chloe is the second miss,” Mr. Reese said.

He continued, “We take responsibility for Daisy’s mistakes as her parents. We’re truly sorry for any trouble our shortcomings have brought to everyone.”

His heartfelt words moved everyone watching.

The live broadcast of this scene touched countless viewers.

This was the first time the Reese family publicly addressed Daisy since she went to prison, and their sincerity was so genuine that netizens who used to boycott Reese Pharmaceuticals because of Daisy now switched sides, digging up her past and blaming her for all the family’s troubles.

The very next day, Reese Medical’s stock, which had been stuck in the red for ages, finally shot up and turned positive.

Inside Ms. Carter’s Clinic.

Sebastian was scrolling through the news when he rushed over to Hannah. “Hannah, seriously, nothing gets past you!”

Hannah blinked, a little lost. ‘What’s he talking about now?’ she wondered.

“Remember last time when you totally put Daisy on blast and to Percival Nox that she wasn’t Dr. Reese’s real daughter? Turns out you were spot on!” Christopher handed her his phone so she could see for herself.

Then he nudged Joe. “So Chloe’s the Reese family’s heiress now? Does that mean you’re the Reese family’s young master or something?”

Joe saw the news too, and just froze in place, totally shell-shocked. He couldn’t wrap his head around it at all.

‘No freaking way, he thought, his mind reeling

‘Chloe’s my own flesh and blood. How could she suddenly be the Reese family’s daughter?’ Joe’s heart was racing, unable

to accept it.
