“Get in.” Joseph’s tone left no room for negotiation.
Chloe’s heart sank. Since she had said yes to Grandpa, she knew she would have to face it sooner
or later. Taking a deep breath, she opened the car door and got in.
“Did Grandpa talk to you about it?”
“MIT.”
“Three months starting from today. But don’t expect me to forgive you,” Joseph said with a cold indifference
evident on his dazzling face.
Chloe offered a faint smile. “Perhaps I should be the one saying those words to you.
‘A scumbag who slept with two women in one night can’t be whitewashed.”
Joseph cast a sidelong glance at her, his lips curling in a mocking smirk. “Then why did you say
yes to Grandpa?”
“I’m a human being with feelings and emotions. I appreciate the kindness Grandpa has given me thus far. What’s
wrong with agreeing to his request? Must we all be as cruel and heartless as you?” Chloe retorted, her voice filled

Joseph let out a cold snort, seemingly convinced that she had hidden motives.
Refusing to give him any more attention, Chloe crossed her arms and fixed her gaze on the passing scenery
outside. As the car continued down the road, she belatedly realized their surroundings and asked, “Where are you
taking me?”
“To the villa.”
“I don’t want to go there.”
“We can’t stop on the highway. If you insist, you can jump out of the car.”
Chloe tightly clenched her fists, taking a deep breath. ‘Endure it. Just endure it until we’re off the highway

Halfway through the dure Joseph phone rang Chloe seated in the passenger seat, caught sight
of the words “Zavia Larson displayed on the screen Her eyelashes fluttered, and she averted her
gaze to the window
Being behind the wheel Joseph opted to put the call on speakerphone
“Joe, I saw on the news that M: Harold is seriously ill and is in the hospital How is he doing?
“His condition has stabilized and he’s currently doing well
Zavia’s disappointment etched onto her face as she listened from the other end of the phone. If
the old man were to die now, it would be a perfect outcome for her. It would relieve her of the
burden of making a difficult decision if the pregnancy was discovered only later However, now
she had to wait until the child reached four months, which carried greater risks. This strategy
was dangerous
While pondering these thoughts, Xavia offered her consolation, “That’s wonderful news Grandpa-
will surely have a long and healthy life But Joe, please don’t mention that I asked about his
condition We know how he feels about me It would only make him angry
Joseph’s brows furrowed slightly as he responded, “Don’t belittle yourself. It’s impossible for a
person to be liked by everyone else ”
“Really? But you don’t like me either,” she said, her voice filled with a sense of desolation.
Joseph paused, his thoughts swirling in contemplation. He came to the realization that his

impeccable propriety, her sensible nature, and her ability to navigate social dynamics with finesse, unlike those

based on these qualities Furthermore, as she had remained by his side for two years, he felt it
appropriate to grant her a certain status, and thus they became a couple.
However, everything changed when he encountered the woman seated next to him. Unexpectedly, he discovered
that genuine liking stemmed from an inherent fondness for someone, while suitability was a separate matter
altogether
So, on that fateful night at Graceville Estate, Joseph never anticipated that events would unfold in such a manner.
He firmly held his position, offering Xavia compensation for the upheaval caused, but he could not make promises
of a future together. Because deep down, he knew that his true affection lay with Chloe.
