Chapter 265 I Dislike Disobedient Women

A cold laugh escaped Chloe’s lips. “Why didn’t you say that when you wrongly accused me of stealing

money back then?”

It was more than that, and things were just getting started.

Karen’s face turned livid. If her gaze could kill, Chloe might have died a violent death.

Chloe held Joseph’s arm and said sweetly, “Let’s go. They’re just crazy and noisy.”

Unable to accept it, Ava shouted from behind Joseph, “Chloe is a woman rejected by the Cooper

family. She even hooked up with an old man before getting entangled with Jake’s uncle. Aren’t you

worried about catching a disease?”

When Icarus was mentioned, Chloe became nervous and anxiously stared at the man beside her.

“I’d die for a beauty, but you…” Joseph sized Ava up and concluded lightly, “You can’t rely on men.

You’d better rely on yourself.”

Chloe heaved a sigh of relief. When she was back in the car, all the gloominess that had been hanging

over her was dispelled. She thanked him joyfully. “Thank you. You can expect full cooperation from me

from now on when we put on our act.”

Turning the steering wheel with his slender fingers, Joseph was unmoved. “I don’t need a verbal thank-

you.’

Chloe bit her lips and inquired hesitantly, “Do you want money then?”

‘But I don’t have much. Will he care about this bit of money I own?’

Joseph retorted grumpily, “Have you forgotten what you said in front of Ava earlier?”

When he brought that up, Chloe recalled something. She covered her chest with both hands. ” Are you

serious?”

Joseph just felt like teasing her but her guarded look upset him. She behaved like she was guarding

against a pervert. “I’m just a regular man. Is it very weird to have needs in this aspect?”

“That’s right. But you have Xavia, don’t you…’

“She and I are not together anymore.” Joseph’s voice suddenly turned cold. “Stop bringing it up.”

‘I took the initiative to contact you, so you should behave sensibly and patch things up me. I may have

agreed.

with

‘Why did you mention Xavia again? She has even taken Oreo away.’

Chloe fell silent before she refused him clearly. “No, I can’t promise you that. Ask for something else.”

“Hmm?”

“I have to say it even if you find it unpleasant. I don’t care if you’re with Xavia or not. It’s at fact that you

guys have an ambiguous relationship. If I use my body to repay your kindness, what does that make

me? Your mistress?”

Joseph lost his patience. Impatience was his familiar friend now. “Are you done? Stop upsetting me.

Don’t you know who you are to me?”

Chloe replied calmly, “I’m just a person who’s bound to you by a contract.”

‘If you truly liked me, you’d have given me the most basic thing-trust. You wouldn’t have refused to give

me a chance to explain. Or, it’s just like what Jane told me in the past. I never had that. I remember

every word very clearly.

‘It does look like Joseph treats Xavia differently. Maybe Jane was right. She didn’t lie to me.’

Joseph stared at the woman who claimed to love him. At that time, she behaved aloofly and cut off all

ties with him. Her light voice created great turbulence in his heart. For a moment, he felt that all her

love for him in the past was nothing but an act she put on.

However, Joseph was a deeply arrogant man. Even if he disliked that word and illusion deeply, he still

put up a superior front.

“Playing hard to get is useless on me. There’s an endless line of women who want to be with me. I

won’t help in situations like today again.

“You know very well that I dislike disobedient women.”
