Chapter 358 Her Face Flushed Red

She could sense that he had been suppressing this anger for a long time. Was it because she was with

Icarus?

She had no idea how long the kiss lasted, and whenever she tried to struggle, Joseph would bite her

hard. Fearful of the pain, she remained motionless, her clear eyes turning red, resembling a rabbit that

dared to be angry but not speak, allowing him to take what he wanted.

After what seemed like an eternity, Joseph finally released Chloe from his grasp. However, he left only

her lips, his hands still tightly gripping her waist. She took deep breaths, her lips numb and sore.

Without even looking, she knew they were swollen.

Joseph played with a strand of Chloe’s hair, his voice low and haunting as he said, “I’ll say it one last

time. Break up with Icarus or it won’t be as simple as him going bankrupt next time. After all, Icarus is

the only son of his family.”

He looked down on Icarus and did not think he deserved his woman though he and Chloe had already

broken up. In addition to that, he held disdain for Icarus’ attempt to manipulate Chloe

through guilt.

A chill ran down Chloe’s spine. “If you dare to do such a thing, I’ll report you to the police!”

“Do as you wish.” Joseph paused, then his voice filled with a sneer. “On the day of the car accident, the

vehicle that caused the crash wasn’t a tanker truck at all. Both of you fell into at coma simultaneously,

and Icarus didn’t risk his life to save you.”

Chloe’s eyes widened, unable to comprehend how he knew such details. Nevertheless, she shook her

head with determination. “I don’t believe Icarus would lie to me.”

He had helped her secure a job, provided resources to her family’s company, and saved her even at

the risk of disfigurement. Since they met, Icarus had never acted against her interests. He was like a

caring older brother, always kind and trustworthy. He would never lie to her.

Joseph’s face sank. ‘So she believes in Icarus instead of me? Very well then.’

Noticing the shift in his expression, Chloe grew anxious, fearing his loss of control. She swiftly changed

her words and said, “I’ll look into this and uncover the truth. We’ll rely on

evidence to determine if it’s true or false.”

The road where the accident occurred was a main thoroughfare, making it easily traceable.

Joseph’s expression softened slightly, oblivious to the profound influence Chloe’s every word and

action had on his emotions. He willingly surrendered to this unexpected connection, reveling in the

liberation it brought.

A spark of inspiration ignited within Chloe’s mind, and a glimmer appeared in her eyes. “I can end

things with Icarus, but in return, you have to spare Icarus’ company for now while I

investigate and uncover the truth.”

Realizing the importance of dealing with the immediate matter at hand, Chloe decided to prioritize it

and leave the remaining details for later consideration. She could not let this chance go to waste,

having already lost her advantage.

“How about this? Spend the night with me,” Joseph suggested.

“No,” Chloe replied, unwilling to be in his company for an entire night.

“No?” he questioned.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her gaze. “Yes. My answer is no.”

Joseph suppressed a smile, his pitch-black eyes fixated on Chloe as if a hidden beast lurked

within the darkness. “Very well, then there’s an alternative,” he said.

“What is it?” Chloe asked.
