Chapter 336 He Disliked Her Treating Him Like a Nobody

Noah tilted his head and replied calmly, “I guess so.

Joseph chuckled, his cold eyes seemingly penetrating all things.

As the banquet proceeded, Ava and Calvin were nowhere to be seen. Chloe found this rather peculiar.

After all, they had made the effort to come all this way, so it seemed strange for them not to show up

just because of some incident. Given Calvin’s seemingly special relationship with the Sullivans, should

he not be more concerned about this event?

Desmond stayed for a moment, exchanging pleasantries with the others before turning to Joseph and

asking about Harold’s condition.

“Well, it’s inevitable for people to become this way as they grow older. We worry about our children and

future generations. Just like Harold, I’m putting all my hopes on Noah now,” Desmond remarked.

Joseph nodded. “Now that our two families are cooperating, I’ll take care of him in the future. Please

rest assured, Mr. Desmond.”

Unless there were any unforeseen circumstances, Noah would solely inherit the Sullivans’ assets.

Despite his young age and not having graduated from school yet, he had been involved in business

from a young age.

However, Desmond still felt that Noah needed someone to support him. Since the Sullivans had the

intention of establishing a good relationship with Joseph, he had no reason to decline.

Desmond was satisfied with Joseph’s response and flashed a smile at him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chloe engaged in a lively conversation with a real estate tycoon. The

gentleman admired her courage and unique insights, leading them to exchange contact information.

By chance, Chloe mentioned the accident involving construction site workers, and the gentleman kindly

warned her, “When accidents happen at construction sites, it’s often due to insufficient funds and the

purchase of substandard safety equipment. Keep an eye out. There might be some misappropriation of

funds.”

No one would neglect their own life, especially those engaged in high-risk industries. Of course, there

were also a small number of people who harbored a sense of luck and were too Jazy to use safety

ropes.

Chloe was taken aback by this revelation and nodded seriously. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

As the clock struck nine, the event came to a close. Everyone grew tired of toasting and exchanging

pleasantries. Some headed to the third floor to rest, while others summoned their drivers to take them

home.

Chloe was prepared to leave. Before her departure, she scanned the hall but found no trace of Joseph.

Noah was assisting Desmond back to his room. She did not want to bother them and so followed a

staff member to the exit since the venue was vast and a little challenging to

navigate.

The attendant offered attentively, “Miss, if you give me your car keys, I can bring the car around for

you.”

Chloe maintained her composure and replied, “I don’t have a car. I’ll get a cab. Is there a place around

here for me to get one?”

The attendant hesitated briefly before regaining composure. “Certainly. Allow me to escort you there.”

After walking a few steps, her phone buzzed inside her purse.

“Where are you?” came Joseph’s calm voice.

“I don’t know,” she replied.

“Come to the garage.”

“Why should I?” Her tone remained calm. Gone was the pleading Chloe.

“Stop acting ignorant. I helped you just now, so it’s time for you to repay the favor,” Joseph said, his

voice tinged with annoyance, “If I don’t see you in ten minutes, you’ll bear the consequences.”

As Chloe listened to the disconnected tone on her phone, she stood motionless for a few moments.

Then, she turned toward the attendant and requested, “Please take me to the garage. Thank you.”

Joseph had exchanged his vehicle for a new sports car, emanating an aura of dominance with its

commanding black hue. Chloe possessed limited knowledge about cars, but she could sense that this

one had impressive speed.

“What’s the matter?” She cut straight to the point, her tone distant.

Furrowing his brows, Joseph’s gaze turned icy and something inside of him cracked. He disliked her

calm demeanor as if she were treating him like a nobody.

“Grandpa is hungry and wants to eat a meal you’ve prepared,” he replied.

Chloe was taken aback. “Your grandfather is hungry this late in the evening?”

“He got hungry again,” Joseph replied.

“Fine, I’ll go home and

a half.”

prepare some food for him, but it’ll take some time. About an hour and

“No need. Prepare it at my house,” he said.
