Joseph's brow furrowed, his voice laced with frustration as he asked, "I’ve already decided to forgive you, so what trouble are you stirring up again?"Upon hearing the word "again," Chloe chuckled. She turned around, her eyes shining brightly as they locked onto Joseph. "What do you mean, 'again?’ What did I do? Did I cheat on you or commit some unforgivable sin?"The accusing tone in her voice did not sit well with Joseph, and his expression grew icy. "You lied and still think you did nothing wrong?""Have you ever thought about why I lied?" Joseph was stunned. Before he could say anything, Chloe pressed on. "That's because I knew that even if I had told you that I ran into Icarus, you’d still be suspicious and angry. Speaking the truth or not would lead to the same outcome, so why bother?""Even though nothing happened between you and Icarus this time, you shouldn't talk to him since you know he has a thing for you!""So, now I can't even talk to someone of the opposite sex?!

Calvin felt incredibly awkward, not knowing how to handle the situation. His square face turned red with embarrassment.On the other hand, Joseph had distanced himself from the family business long ago, opting to pursue ventures abroad. Despite his rebellious and detached demeanor, he possessed an exceptional aptitude for strategy and leadership, devoid of the typical deception often associated with businessmen. Recognizing these qualities, Harold held his grandson in high regard.However, Harold understood that bestowing the family business upon Joseph would be a narrow-minded decision, so he allowed Joseph to carve his own path and prove himself independently over the years. This decision did not sit well with the Whitmans' core members, who harbored a deep-rooted desire to keep Joseph overseas, fearing he would snatch away the opportunities they held.Given this environment, it was only natural that nobody made a deliberate effort to unveil Joseph's familial background prematurel

Octavia glared at him fiercely. "How dare you speak that way to me. I'm your aunt!"Jonathan joined in the confrontation, his voice filled with aggression. "Joe, my mother is only looking out for your best interests. How could you support a stranger?""If Chloe’s a stranger, doesn't that mean that your mother is also a stranger?" Joseph retorted calmly, leaving Jonathan momentarily speechless.Realizing that engaging in further argument would be futile, Octavia took a deep breath and changed the topic. "Enough of this discussion. Since you’ve chosen her despite our concerns, there’s nothing more to be said. You live your own life. However, we’d appreciate knowing some basic information about her."Joseph maintained a composed smile as he stood by Chloe's side.Unaffected by the tension, Chloe greeted Octavia respectfully, her voice filled with sweetness. "Nice to meet you, Aunt Tavia."Octavia found some solace in Chloe's respectful demeanor and her frustration was momentarily su

Furthermore, Chloe discovered herself nestled in the curve of his arm, her legs draping over his well-defined waist.Joseph's brow relaxed as he slept peacefully, unaware of the world around him. Such a sight carried an inexplicable sense of harmony.Concerned about arousing Joseph's anger, Chloe gingerly maneuvered herself out of his embrace, lifting the covers and tiptoeing to the bathroom.Soon after, Joseph woke up, and upon discovering her absence from his embrace, a surge of emptiness engulfed him, prompting a deep frown of discontent to etch across his forehead. He rose from the bed and passed by the bathroom, where the sound of rushing water reached his ears.A restless unease tugged at him, causing him to fidget with his collar.*After freshening up, Chloe and Joseph made their way downstairs to the first floor of the house.On the first floor, Preston and his family were seated on the couch, engrossed in watching television. Several other relatives were also present,

At this moment, Chloe found it difficult to turn down his invitation. She decided to agree for now and come up with an excuse later. Although she had no intention of attending his birthday party, she still intended to offer him gifts.Upon arriving at the marketing department, Chloe took notice of a recent addition to the team. Wendy was currently on maternity leave, and Ellie had been dismissed. The sudden shortage of staff left them overwhelmed with their workload. The HR department had initiated recruitment the previous week, and today marked the first day for the new employee.Sophia Reynolds exuded a keen sense of style in her attire. With a strikingly beautiful face and an alluring figure, rumors circulated that she had recently returned from studying abroad.Exuding open-mindedness and enthusiasm, Sophia quickly formed connections with her colleagues within a single day.When Sophia saw Chloe, she cheerfully approached her. "You must be Chloe, right? I'm the new girl. Feel f
