Chapter 282 The Shocking Red on the Bedsheet.

Chloe held that kind of excuse in contempt. “So you’re not to blame just because you were drunk?”

‘Is someone allowed to behave recklessly just because they were drunk? This man is just an immoral

person who has no limits and a bad character.”

Noah was wearing a white suit, making him appear young and lively. Smiling, he glanced at Chloe

before he ordered, “Get rid of him.

Chloe averted her gaze. “I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else.”

“Are you going back to Aesper?”

“Yes.”

“That Aesper general manager is the son of one of the headquarters’s shareholders.”

Chloe was enlightened. Turns out strings were pulled in that affair. No wonder that man managed to

become the head of a branch given that he appeared like a convict who had just been released from

prison.

Noah took out a gift box and chuckled. “Ms. Chloe, this is our new seasonal item. It’s for you, as a

symbol of apology from Exotic Star.”

Chloe glanced at the invaluable necklace in the gift box before she shook her head. “Mr. Noah, you

handled this affair well and fast. I’m very satisfied. This necklace is very charming, and I’m flattered, but

it’s too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

The smile in Noah’s brown eyes deepened. He repeated himself, “Take it. I’ll be troubled by a guilty

conscience if you don’t. Besides, you’re about to endorse Exotic Star’s products soon. You have to own

some jewelry from the company.

Since he had said as much, Chloe could not turn him down. She accepted the necklace and thanked

him seriously.

It was already noon by the time she stepped out of Exotic Star. The teambuilding group planned to

return to Aesper at noon, and she needed more than two hours to get back to the estate. Hence she

decided it was unnecessary and might as well return to Aesper straight away.

While hailing a cab on an app, Chloe wanted to call Joseph. She then came across a post that Emily

had posted to her social media saying that she had checked in at Docwood.

At Graceville Estate.

When Joseph came out from the bath, Xavia was still there. She was wearing his large shirt, smiling at

him tenderly. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t find my clothes, so I put yours on. Also, I don’t

blame you for what happened last night. I’ll pretend it didn’t happen.

Joseph clutched his forehead, feeling a great headache coming on. He had felt uncomfortable after

drinking that cup of tea the day before. His consciousness became blurry, and he seemed to…have

slept with a woman.

When he woke up at dawn, he saw Xavia crying beside the bed, naked.

Xavia then adjusted her mood and calmed herself. She told him that she would forget about everything

Last night was nice, but he could not behave like such a scumbag. He was with the dumbo, so he could

not marry her.

For the time being, Joseph had yet to come up with a solution on how to take responsibility for what

happened.

Xavia had a difficult life. After she was diagnosed with leukemia, she returned to her homeland. to cure

her illness. Then, she took a blow for Chloe and was now being bullied by him.

Knitting his brows tightly, Joseph’s expression was complicated. “Why did you come to my room

yesterday?”

“I got a bottle of good wine and wanted to give it to you. When I came, I found the door

unlocked. After I came in…” Xavia found it too embarrassing to describe, so her pale face

turned scarlet.

Hearing this, he looked toward the bottle of red wine on the coffee table out of the corner of

his eye. The crease between his brows deepened.

“Joe, I’m going to head home first Rest well I’m very tired, and I want to go home to rest.”

Xavia was generally considerate and sensible. It appeared like she did not want them to embarrass

themselves even after such an incident had happened.

Joseph was left alone in the room. He seemed to recall something and pushed the blanket aside. He

then noticed a dark red spot on the white bedsheet.

It was dazzling like a blooming rose.

At the same time, it reminded him of his action the previous night, snatching a woman’s most valuable

thing. He narrowed his eyes abruptly and had a hunch that something was amiss.

He dialed Lucas’ number. “Get me yesterday’s surveillance video from the fifth floor of the

hotel now.”
