Chapter 363 Insist on Being a Fickle Woman

Chloe’s outfit was not flamboyant and rather casual. She had on a short sweater with a beret and a pair

of jeans, exposing only a finger-width of her waist. She appeared young and lively. Standing next to

Noah, they appeared like a couple.

Joseph tugged at his tie and kept his composure, but his cold look frightened people.

Octavia, who had planned to find trouble with him, did not dare to approach him.

Chloe spotted Joseph, becoming slightly nervous as she tried to stick close to Harold.

Joseph caught the change in Chloe’s expression and anguish hit his soul, filling him with pain and

gloominess.

When the birthday party started, Harold saw the cake Chloe had gifted him. When he heard that she

baked the cake herself, he grinned from ear to ear. He then showed it off smugly. Look! She baked it

herself. The best presents are those that time is spent on.”

וו

“Only poor people make the presents themselves to pretend to be attentive,” Octavia muttered softly.

Harold was old and lacked sharp hearing. He did not hear what Octavia said, but Chloe did.

She glanced at Octavia and smiled faintly. “I did bring a present,” she said loudly, and the surrounding

people looked over.

Disdain engulfed Octavia’s expression. “What present did you bring? Show us.”

“I gifted it to Grandpa. It’s a chess set.”

Chloe had hurriedly gone to buy it this afternoon. Of course, it was nothing for rich people, but she had

not bought a cheap item either.

“I saw the chess set. The carvings are very nice. I have the same set at home.” Noah suddenly spoke

up as if he was just making a casual comment.

Chloe looked up at him and knew that he was trying to get her out of the predicament. She now had an

even better impression of him. She smiled as she looked at him.

When Joseph saw the interaction between them, he clenched his fists tightly. Deep anger filled his

chest. ‘She’s casting sheep’s eyes at him and is being all intimate with him but she won’t even stay with

me for more than half a minute.’ He chose to close his eyes. When he opened them, they were somber

and without emotion. ‘Forget it. She’s the one who insists on being a fickle woman. I won’t go easy on

her again.’

Octavia was flabbergasted. ‘Why is this bumpkin so generous?’

The Sullivan family used the best things. Even when casually buying a chess set, it would surely be

valuable.

Harold coughed and frowned with annoyance. “Okay, the gift is just a kind gesture. I like the

cake more.”

He then glanced at Joseph because he thought that Joseph had failed him again. ‘What’s the matter

with this brat today? His wife has been here for such a long time but he hasn’t said a

word.’

A few pianists were talking endlessly outside the house, wanting to enter the house. “We were invited

to come and perform here. We charge by the time. You’re just a guard. Don’t stop us from earning

money.”

Patrick faked a smile. “We didn’t invite anyone to perform today. Please leave.”

“That’s impossible. It was the young madam of the Whitman family who hired us to celebrate Mr.

Harold’s birthday for him.”

Ronald Atkinson enjoyed great fame in the piano field. He could earn 100 thousand dollars

in a single show, which contributed to his arrogant behavior.

Patrick was taken aback. “The young madam of the Whitman family? May I know what her name is?”

Ronald thought Patrick was scared, so he answered smugly, “Xavia Larson.”

Patrick had been working for a rich family for more than twenty years and understood Xavia’s intent.

She was trying her best to show her status and power, but unfortunately, she had taken

the wrong step.

“You’ve misunderstood. We have no young madam in the Whitman family. Please take your

leave.”

Ronald became a bit anxious. He could not have come here for nothing, so he stopped Patrick and

demanded rudely, “Call over someone who can decide on things. You’re just a guard and I don’t trust

you.”
