Chapter 324 Grandfather and Grandson Unite
“If something happens to her, all of Exotic Star’s adverts have to be canceled. Who will be responsible for these losses? What’s more, you did something to her in the hotel. Did you ever stop to think about how it could’ve affected Exotic Star? Will Grandpa help you if he learns about this inside story?”
Calvin put on a cold front. “It’s because Mr. Desmond doesn’t know how Joseph treated his granddaughter.”
“Then you should have gone to Joseph.”
“I can’t afford to offend the Whitman family, can I?”
“Just stop.” Noah glanced at Ava and said slowly, “It takes two hands to clap. And I think that Luciana would never have given birth to such a troublemaker. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
Ava did not even resemble Luciana. In comparison, Chloe looked a lot more like Luciana. Or perhaps… Calvin had been misled by their ages and ignored the most crucial thing. 1
“Watch your tongue. What do you mean she’s a troublemaker? Ava was never afforded much. love during her childhood. We should protect her and take good care of her. I believe she’ll gain Mr. Desmond’s approval and favor.”
However, Noah ignored him and revealed a meaningful smile.
‘Making my own investigations is much more reliable.’ i
Chloe stayed in the bathroom for two hours, scrubbing herself clean before coming out. Also, some stains could not be washed away. She could only put up her collar to cover herself.
Harold had been waiting for her in the living room.
Chloe averted her gaze before whispering, “Grandpa…”
Harold responded lightly before asking her to take a seat. “Chloe, be frank with me. Do you have another lover?”
“No, it’s Joseph who has another lover.” She became agitated upon mentioning this and
clenched her fists. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Harold behaved like a lion protecting its cub as he gently patted Chloe’s back. “I know you’ve suffered a grievance, but can you give that bastard a chance? It wasn’t easy for you two to get together.”
“Grandpa, Xavia isn’t the only obstacle between him and me. I have a problem too. It isn’t that easy to resolve…”
“So just give each other a chance.”
“It’s over between us now. Joseph…doesn’t like me. If I keep getting entangled with him, it’ll be irresponsible for both of us. He slept with Xavia, so he should be responsible for her.”
“Chloe…”
“Grandpa, it’s fine. After all, Joseph wouldn’t have slept with Xavia if he cared about me. I understand your kindness.”
“I will never let Xavia be a part of the Whitman family.”
Chloe’s attitude was firm, but Harold’s was firmer.
Melancholy flashed across her face. But since things had turned out this way, it was not something she should be worried about. She stood up and gave him a firm bow. “Thank you. for your concern toward me during this time. I’ll be leaving now.”
Chloe turned around and left. She went to her room to change her clothes before hailing a cab to return to Aesper.
After a few hours, Joseph had calmed himself. When he came home and saw the vacant bedroom, he inevitably frowned. “Where’s Chloe?”
Patrick walked over and stated, “After you went out, she had a chat with Mr. Harold before she returned to Asper on her own.”
His handsome face was filled with gloominess. ‘Is she that impatient to go home and see Icarus? He’s indeed her good lover.”
“By the way, Mr. Harold asked you to go to him after you come home.”
“I don’t want to.” Joseph was irate. “I have something to do at Fairlight.”
Patrick smiled. “Sir, you’d better go and see him. Maybe he’ll suggest some ideas to you.”
Joseph stopped in his tracks. “What?”
“Both Mr. Harold and you like Ms. Chloe. As for Ms. Xavia, you can get her the best medical team or just throw some money at her if you don’t like her. There are many ways to compensate her. You have the right to choose…” Patrick changed the topic and adopted a mysterious tone. “If you and Mr. Harold are on the same side, I’m sure you can coax her.”
Both of them wanted to coax Chloe and pull her to their side so that she would belong to the Whitman family. They were two cunning and experienced men facing a naive young woman. If they spent a little time and effort on it, victory would surely be on their side.
As for whether Joseph wanted that or not, it depended on how much he valued Chloe.
“You’re right, Patrick. And you, you scoundrel. I guarantee that you’ll get the beauty if you hurry up and work with me.”
Harold walked in from the back garden, unknown how much of the conversation he had overheard, and proceeded to arrogantly command his grandson.
Joseph’s fierceness subsided a little, though his face was still devoid of much expression. “You think I want a woman who always lies to me?”
“That’s enough! I don’t want to listen to these fucking words anymore!”
“You don’t have to worry about my business.”
Harold flew into a great rage. Hands to his mouth, he fell backward, skillfully falling onto the top of the carpet.
Patrick appeared shocked on the surface but was not in a hurry to act. “We should rush Mr. Harold to the hospital.” He turned to Joseph and suggested, “Why don’t you inform Ms. Chloe about this? Mr. Harold really likes her. Maybe he’ll get better after seeing her when he wakes. up.”
