Chapter 457 Defending Her at the Press Conference

Joseph held Chloe’s hand and led her to the second floor. He then found a suitable spot and pressed

down on her shoulders. “Sit.”

She obediently sat. When she looked over the first floor, she saw Harold in a suit, easily answering the

reporters’ questions.

“Firstly, Xavia will not be a part of the Whitman family. If you’re interested in the details, you can ask

her. Secondly, Chloe isn’t a homewrecker. She’s the granddaughter-in-law I’ve approved of though

they’re divorced now. Thirdly, I’ll seek legal help and sue those who continue to slander Chloe. She’s a

good person. I’m at such an age now, so I’m quite experienced. I won’t be mistaken.

“Even an honorable person has difficulties handling household affairs. It’s the same case with my

family, but the one thing I can guarantee is that I’ll be responsible for it as long as it’s a child of the

Whitman family. I won’t let them become a homeless child and suffer miserably.”

As a result, Chloe’s eyes turned watery. Harold was still talking, but she could no longer hear a word of

what he said.

‘Grandpa is holding a press conference to defend me and publicly take my side… What did I do to

deserve this kindness? I snuck into the Whitman family with a fake marriage, but he let bygones be

bygones. He still treats me the same as before.’

Joseph wiped away her tears with his fingers. “Are you satisfied?”

Chloe’s nose became rosy and her eyes were glistening with tears. “Yes, I am.”

“Stop crying. You look ugly.” He chuckled, which softened the iciness in his eyes. Even the sharp edges

of his face turned gentler.

“Let’s go to the family home and eat with Grandpa today.” She did not know how many times she could

still go there.

“Okay.” Joseph kissed her lips. “Whatever you wish.”

Blushing, Chloe pushed him away because she could not take it. “There are so many reporters

down there. Don’t do that…”

“They can’t see us. What’s more, it’s just a peck. Why are you blushing so much?” A mischievous light

flashed past his eyes. “What’s on your mind?”

“Nothing!” Chloe flared up in a rage out of shyness. After crying, her watery eyes set off her

pitifulness and charms. Even when she was angry, she appeared coquettish and pretty.

Swallowing, Joseph’s eyes turned dark. He forced himself to avert his gaze.

On their way to the family home, Joseph received a text from Xavia.

[Joe, my agent accidentally posted an announcement on Twitter to clarify things. I found it out

immediately and asked her to delete it.]

After a glance, he threw his phone aside and did not reply to her.

Chloe recalled the upcoming jewelry fashion show at the end of the week, so she brought it up.

Joseph snorted. “Did Noah invite you?”

“No, it was the designer of Exotic Star.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“Why do you hold such a great hostility toward Noah?” Chloe blinked.

Joseph did not go straight to the point but beat around the bush. “He has a conflicting personality.”

“What are you trying to say?”

“While he’s in the university, the Sullivans hand one-third of Exotic Star to him to manage, but he gives

off a harmless and pure image. Isn’t it contradictory?”

It was the typical example of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Chloe answered honestly, “A little.”

But she felt that it was normal. People were bound to possess some shrewdness.

At night, Chloe ate two servings of pasta. She found that her appetite had increased a lot after her

pregnancy. She surmised that she had to control herself. Otherwise, she would be much plumper at the

later stage of her pregnancy.

“Chloe, are you full?” Harold asked her kindly.

“Yeah, I am.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Harold looked at Joseph. After pondering over it for a while, he said, I discussed

with Joseph about Xavia’s child and came up with a relatively win-win solution.
