“Stop pretending. You’ve been eyeing the shares for a long time.”

“So? Your purpose for coming here isn’t to get shares?”

“I couldn’t care less about this meager amount. Only a loser like you would find it appealing.” Ava

raised her chin arrogantly and sneered.

Chloe grinned and remained silent, waiting for Ava’s next words.

“I want to sever ties with Benjamin completely so that when I soar to success, he won’t come and

bother me anymore,” Ava gloated, her voice thick with triumph.

Even without Benjamin, she still had her influential benefactor, who far surpassed Benjamin power and

was about to take her to Docwood. But before she left Aesper, she wanted to get

revenge on Chloe first.

“Haven’t you already legally disowned him?” Chloe asked.

“That’s not enough. We need to sign a contract,” she said, brandishing the document victoriously in her

hand before ascending the stairs.

Chloe gazed at Ava’s retreating figure, her eyes shimmering with curiosity. She grew increasingly

intrigued by what Calvin saw in Ava. Was he planning to groom Ava as his heir?

Before Chloe even stepped foot out of the company, she heard Benjamin’s furious outburst. from

upstairs. She wanted to laugh. The people in this family were all selfish individuals. What was there to

be angry about?

Upon Chloe’s return to Fairlight, she happened to encounter Sophia who was about to deliver coffee to

Joseph.

Sophia had been carrying out this routine every day since she took her leave of absence, leaving her

workstation with a cup of coffee and returning empty-handed.

Initially, Chloe found it believable during the first or second instance, but as it went on a few more

times, doubts arose in her mind. ‘Is Joseph interested in Sophia, or is Sophia fabricating the whole

thing?’ she thought.

Chloe blinked and casually picked up a proposal from the table. “Let’s go together. I need to submit a

proposal to Mr. Joseph.”

Sophia was startled and nearly spilled the coffee in her hand, but managed to compose herself. “Then

you go ahead. I’m not in a hurry.”

If they went together, Chloe would find out that she had been pouring the coffee down the toilet.

Chloe tapped the coffee cup with her hand and asked, “The coffee has gone cold. Are you sure you’re

not in a hurry?”

Colleagues in the department sensed the tension and raised their heads, silently enjoying the unfolding

drama.

Chloe had a beautiful face, and she had been diligently applying face masks recently, resulting in a

flawless and delicate complexion akin to a freshly bloomed flower Moreover, her eyes exuded a

captivating allure. Despite Sophia’s beauty, she paled in comparison to Chloe

Sophia gazed at Chloe, her confidence waning Seeing that Chloe was not going away, she stiffly

replied, “Fine, let’s go together Just as long as you don’t get jealous

Chloe smiled ambiguously. “No worries. If you’ve truly captured Mr. Joseph’s heart, I’ll congratulate

you”

They entered the elevator one after the other.

As the elevator reached Joseph’s office floor, Sophia suddenly clutched her stomach, wearing an

expression of pain. “Oh, my tummy doesn’t feel so good I need to go to the restroom first.”

Chloe glanced at the coffee in Sophia’s hand. “Should I help you take it to him?

“No need I can bring it in myself.

Chloe frowned. ‘She’s going to take the coffee into the restroom? Isn’t that disgusting?

Afraid of being exposed, Sophia hurriedly made her way to the restroom.

Lucas, who came out of the restroom, saw her and reached out to stop her.

“What are you doing here again?” he asked, his voice stern.

“Mr. Lucas I’m here to use the restroom.”

“Don’t we have restrooms downstairs? Why do you come to this floor every day? You don’t just use the

restroom, you also pour coffee into the toilet. The coffee splashes out of the rim, and the cleaning staff

have told me about it several times.

The cleaning staff thought it was him wasting the coffee and admonished him not to be wasteful
