Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Imbalanced Contract

Samuel stared at his phone. Five minutes passed, yet there was no response from Joseph. He decided to text Joseph again.

[Are you busy working?]

[Seriously? Do people lose their wives because they’re too busy with work?]

[No wonder your wife wants to cheat on you,] he commented.

Icarus’ birthday party took place in a secluded villa.

Joseph stepped on the brake, his gaze accurately locked onto Chloe through the nearby floor- to- ceiling windows. She held a glass of red wine, her face adorned with a charming smile as she conversed with Icarus. She did not look like a girl who had just broken up boyfriend.

with her

He felt himself a fool. He actually thought that she had bought the suit for him.

Joseph’s anger turned into a twisted smirk, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth. He dialed a string of numbers on his phone and punched the call button. “You have one minute to come

out.”

Inside the room, Chloe trembled at the voice coming from her phone. “Where are you?”

“Look outside the window.”

Their eyes met, Joseph’s gaze was cold and menacing, his features grim.

Chloe averted her eyes in embarrassment. “How did you know to come here?”

“Come out. Don’t make me say it a third time, or should I go in and find you?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Don’t. I’ll come out.”

She did not know what Joseph was capable of when he got angry and she did not want to ruin someone else’s birthday party.

“I’m sorry, I have something to attend to. I’m going to step out for a moment.”

Icarus looked at her worriedly. “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, don’t worry about me. Enjoy your party.” Chloe did not say much. She simply pushed open the door and left.

Icarus’s gaze followed her all the way until he spotted Joseph, and his brows furrowed deeply.

“How did you find this place?” Chloe looked at the man before her, her tone filled with

confusion. She had not disclosed her plans for the day to anyone. Besides, she had just got here not long ago.

“Am I not allowed to come?” Joseph’s eyes held a mocking glint. “Are you afraid I’ll spoil your good time?”

Chloe furrowed her brows. Just when she was about to explain, she realized that they had already broken up. Deciding to ignore his cold and sarcastic remarks, she calmly asked, “Is there something you want from me?”

Chloe’s nonchalant attitude was like a raging fire, burning away the last shreds of rationality in Joseph. He seized her wrist forcefully, yanking her toward the car, his actions brimming with aggression and

devoid of any hint of gentleness.

“Come home with me.”

Chloe winced from the pain of his grip, and her temper flared up. “I won’t. We’ve already broken up, so you have no say in my life!”

Joseph sneered with disdain. “Are you planning to violate our contract? If you breach it, you’ll have to compensate me with billions. Are you sure you can afford that?”

Chloe’s face paled. “No… This is unreasonable. It’s an imbalanced contract! Moreover, your grandfather isn’t here right now. I don’t have to go along with your act.”

“I hold the power of explanation, or would you like me to hire a lawyer and take this to court?” Samuel was the most renowned figure in the legal field. Setting aside exorbitant fees, given Joseph’s relationship with Samuel, it was impossible for him to help her fight the lawsuit.

Chloe took a deep breath, deciding not to confront him head-on. “Fine, I’ll go back with you, but I want to inform Icarus first.”

Joseph’s eyes took on a sinister glint. “Shall we go in together and tell him?”

“…No, there’s no need. Let’s just go now.”

“Mr. Joseph, Chloe has clearly expressed her desire not to go with you. Please release her,” Icarus interjected, rushing out of the room and gripping Chloe’s hand firmly.

Joseph’s eyes fixated on Icarus’ hand as a cold and menacing glimmer flickered through his chilling gaze. Suddenly, laughter escaped his lips. In the next moment, he viciously lifted his foot and delivered a powerful kick to Icarus’ lower abdomen.
