Chapter 351 The Best Gift

Chloe was taken aback. “That’s Xavia. You’ve seen her photos before.”

Emily paused for a moment, then anger surged through her. “That’s her? She’s the one who used

pregnancy to come in between you and Joseph?”

Those words, spoken loudly and accompanied by a pointed finger, carried across the vicinity, catching

the attention of the surrounding shoppers. They turned their gazes toward Xavia, their expressions

filled with a mix of gossip and disdain.

Xavia was trying on the latest fashions in a luxury boutique. Hearing the discussions, her expression

remained unchanged, and she calmly walked over to greet Chloe

“Are you also here to buy clothes, Ms. Chloe? What a coincidence,” she said gracefully as if she had

not heard Emily’s insults With warmth and gentleness, she asked, “I want to buy a gift for Joe to

celebrate his upcoming fatherhood Do you have any suggestions, Ms Chloe?”

Emily’s anger flared up, and she lashed out, “Jeez, I’ve never met someone as shameless as you

What’s there to be proud of as a homewrecker? Why flaunt it?”

It seemed to her that Xavia had a lot of nerve to provoke Chloe in front of her.

Xavia remained unruffled and said, “I think there’s some misunderstanding here When I was

with Joe, Ms. Chloe was still just a student. Besides, we were naturally drawn to each other. How can

you say I’m a homewrecker?”

“Oh, so you think you’re superior just because you’re older? Does age give you the right to sleep with

someone else’s husband Emily pressed on, her confrontational spirit continued.

to rise

A flicker of sadness appeared on Xavia’s face as she replied, “If that’s how you choose to see it, then

there’s nothing I can say But from what I’ve gathered, Ms. Chloe values marriage greatly. I must

acknowledge my share of responsibility for what happened between Chloe and Joe. Perhaps my

decision to return to Aesper was a mistake in the first place

Emily could not help but roll her eyes, feeling a crackle of electricity run down her spine as she listened

to Xavia insinuate that Joseph could not resist falling in love with her due to some supposed

extraordinary charm upon her return.

“I visited a church last month and they gave me a token. After wearing it, not only did I conceive a new

life, but I also found the man of my dreams Now, I want to give this token to you, Ms. Chloe I hope it’ll

bring you good fortune and guide you to your true soulmate”

Chloe stared at the token, her smile turning cold as she said, “No need. You can keep it for yourself.”

“It’s all right. Please accept it,” Xavia insisted, her tone laced with a hidden meaning and her

eyes gleaming with malicious mockery. “I heard about your mother’s unhappy marriage. Although it

may sound superstitious, there are moments when one must have faith in

something. Perhaps this token will improve everything for you. If you end up as pitiful as your mother in

the future, I’ll feel sorry for you.”

Deep furrows formed on Chloe’s forehead, and her eyes emanated a chilling aura.

Unable to restrain herself any longer, Emily stepped forward to push Xavia, but Chloe stopped. her.

Xavia was pregnant. They would be in big trouble if something were to happen to her.

Emily could not contain her anger and snarled, “Can’t you see? She’s doing this on purpose!”

It went without saying that Chloe knew Xavia was doing it on purpose. She whispered softly, Whether

Xavia is trying to provoke me or flaunt her situation, I have the means to retaliate.”

After all, she was currently carrying Joseph’s supplementary credit card, and there was only one such

unlimited supplementary card.

“Wait a minute.” Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes shimmered innocently as she looked at Xavia. ” You

were asking for gift suggestions for Joseph, right?”

Xavia nodded slightly, puzzled by Chloe’s unexpected reaction. “Yes, Ms. Chloe. Do you have any

suggestions?”

“I do, in fact,” Chloe said. “Since Joseph only wears custom-made clothes and isn’t interested. in

watches or cars, I believe the best gift would be the child in your belly. If you can confirm that it’s his

child, that would be the greatest gift of all.”

Although Chloe was unaware of the truth, the fact that Joseph insisted on amniocentesis meant there

was something suspicious about the child in Xavia’s womb.
