Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Continue Hitting Her

Three people wanted to resign, so there would be a shortage of staff from now on. However, it would not be very difficult as long as they worked together.

Chloe stated gently but firmly, “I know that we’ll be very busy this month. Thank you very much for

your hard work. I’ll raise your salary after this busy period. The number of coffee and dessert breaks you’ll get will be the same as in the past. We’ll have it four times and have Finance pay for it.”

An effective way for the boss to encourage their subordinates was to approve of them, giving them bonuses and raising salaries. As for why Ava wanted to use her money to treat her colleagues, it was because she did not make any valuable contributions. She could only use small favors to win people over and gain a firm foothold in the company.

Benjamin and Karen were convicted of intentional homicide and were sued by the court. Karen was confirmed as the main culprit while Benjamin was her accomplice. They were sentenced to twenty years and fifteen years in prison respectively, so they had to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Chloe did not go to visit them. She was fine with not seeing them again for the rest of her life. As Benjamin’s legal heir, Chloe inherited Benjamin’s property. She contacted a real estate company to sell her family’s villa and planned to buy a new house.

After learning that Karen had been convicted, Ava continuously called Chloe just to curse at her. Chloe simply ignored her, unaware of what had happened the day before. Ava called her over a hundred times and sent a bunch of text messages, cursing her out. She felt that Ava’s fury had reached its peak.

When Chloe went to the company the next day, Icarus came with two sponsors. She asked in bewilderment, “What’s going on here?”

“These are my friends. They happen to be looking for projects to invest in. Jake told me that you have suitable developing projects, so I brought them here to check them out. Did we come at a bad time?”

“No, not at all. I have time now.” Chloe smiled broadly and led them into her office. She then secretly nudged Icarus with her elbow and whispered, “Thank you. I’ll give you a cash reward later.”

Of course, she could tell that he was deliberately helping her. He probably had not informed her in advance because he was afraid of being rejected or hurting her dignity.

Icarus was indeed a true gentleman. There was a vast difference between him and Joseph, who just loved to poke at her sore spots.

When Chloe thought of Joseph, she felt gloomy. He always fussed over one thing or another when it came to her. She had to repay him even if he only did her a small favor.

Icarus adjusted his glasses. He recently started keeping a beard, so he looked particularly refined and mature. “That’s unnecessary, but I’d like to have dinner with you tonight. Is that okay?”

Chloe became stupefied. “I’m getting off from work late tonight…”

“That’s fine. I happen to be free today. I can wait for you.”

“Okay, thank you. How about you take a tour of the company first?”

“All right.”

Chloe had a very enjoyable talk with the two sponsors, and they quickly reached a deal. Since Icarus was waiting for her, she quickened her pace while working in front of the computer.

Night fell, and the sky darkened. Nearing the end of her work, she got up to inform Icarus. When she got to the corridor, she saw no one. She heard him talking on the phone in the washroom nearby, so she turned around to return to her office.

Suddenly, the corridor fell into darkness.

Chloe thought that there was a power cut. But in the next second, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck as if someone had injected something into her. She became weak all over, and she fell unconscious within a few seconds.

Same as Chloe, Icarus too thought there was a power cut. He groped his way out of the washroom and heard footsteps that were growing fainter. The footsteps were heavy as if the person was carrying a heavy item. He could tell that it was a man.

Anxiety washed over Icarus as he strode toward Chloe’s office. The moonlight shone in from the window, lighting up the vacant office. He noticed that something was amiss, and as he called Chloe, he ran downstairs and out of the building.

All the employees had clocked by now, so it could only be an outsider.

Icarus spotted two burly men carrying a sack getting into a van at the back door of the office. After that, he heard a phone ringtone. His heartbeat quickened and he quickly retreated into a dark corner. When the ringtone was cut off, the van sped off.

Icarus immediately hopped into his car and pursued the van. He put some distance between him and that van for fear of being noticed. At the same time, he called the police.

The van drove out of Aesper and to a village before it stopped in front of an old house. A man carried Chloe out of the sack and threw her on the ground. He then took out his phone to take a few

photographs before giving Ava a video call and positioned his phone in front of Chloe.

Being thrown on the ground, Chloe was woken up by the pain.

“Coco dear, I got you a big gift. Enjoy yourself.”

The person shown on the phone screen was wearing thin silk pajamas, showing a smug expression.

Chloe suppressed the pain that came from all over her body and cursed fiercely, “Fuck off!”

Ava’s voice turned gloomy. “You’re still so stubborn even on the verge of death. Teach her a lesson.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After that, one of the men slapped Chloe. Being slapped, she felt a burning sensation on her face. Even her lip had split open.

Ava continued, “Continue hitting her. Don’t stop.
