Chapter 458 The Newcomer Oppresses Others

Chloe stopped what she was doing and said, “I’m all ears, Grandpa.”

“A child is a life. Since the child has come to this world, we have no right to snatch their life. If it’s a

Whitman child, the Whitmans should be responsible for the child, correct?”

With her eyes lowered, Chloe managed to hide the emotion in her eyes. “Yes.”

“But after all, the child isn’t borne by a granddaughter-in-law whom the Whitmans approve of. Hence,

they have no right to inherit Joseph and the Whitmans’ properties. Only your child has such a right.

This is a guarantee for you.”

The Whitman family would not starve the child but they would not invest too much in him either. That

was the difference between a legal wife and a second wife since ancient times. However, Xavia was

not even considered a second wife.

Joseph held Chloe’s hand. “In short, our child is the first heir regardless of their gender.”

Chloe looked at him and saw the sincerity in the latter’s dark eyes. He meant what he said. At the

moment, he was on her side. However, one’s life was so long, and people’s hearts would change. It

was just like what happened to Benjamin back then. He changed just like that. In the end, he could not

forget about his ex.

After Chloe’s mother passed away, Karen came with Ava. They led a happy life as a family of three. On

the contrary, she became a child whom nobody wanted. Over the past twenty years, she had shared a

father with another person. Hence, she knew that feeling all too well. She would never let her child

suffer that kind of grievance.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Joseph pinched her cheeks anxiously. This was the largest

compensation he could give her.

“I’m fine.” Chloe put aside her emotions. “Let’s talk about this after Xavia’s amniocentesis. We’re not in

a rush.”

Joseph’s lips went into a thin line. He did not want to force her, so he stopped dwelling on the

matter.

Exotic Star in Docwood.

After class, Noah came to deal with the documents that needed his signature.

A few employees who were working overtime in the office area gathered together to chat.

“Did you see the hot topic? Homewreckers nowadays are so capable. She even made Mr. Harold step

forward to defend her.”

“Yeah, Xavia’s five years and the child in her belly can’t compare to the one-year Chlo

married to Mr. Joseph.”

“You must be joking. If she’s incapable, she wouldn’t have endorsed Exotic Star. She’s just an

amateur.”

“Hmph, I don’t care. I’m going to vote for someone else. I can’t bear to see a newcomer oppress

another.”

There was a rule in Exotic Star. They would ask for the public’s opinion on their official website every

time they looked for an ambassador to endorse their products. Exotic Star would be more inclined to

cooperate with whoever got the highest votes.

“Ahem, ahem…”

A cough interrupted them.

“Mr. Noah…” When the employees saw Noah, they got up and greeted him.

Smiling, Noah took out an invitation card and put it on the table. “Help me deliver this. invitation to

Xavia when you have time.”

“Okay.”

After he left, they began to make guesses in confusion. “Does Mr. Noah think that our products will be

negatively influenced if Chloe is the ambassador? Does he want to cooperate with Xavia instead?”

“Maybe…”

Recently, Chloe had time to learn how to drive at a driving school. After more than a month, she finally

got her driver’s license. Holding it in her hand, she became eager when she passed by an automotive

store. She wanted to buy a car, but her lack of confidence in driving stopped her. She was a little timid.

While brewing in her complicated feelings, she heard a honk. She turned around to see who it was.
