Chapter 500 They’ve Fallen Out

Preston’s face became as dark as the bottom of a burnt kettle, and Octavia looked distressed. Was

Joseph destined to kick them out?

“Tell Jon to get back here. How could he still be in the mood to go galavanting when we’re about to lose

everything we have?!”

Octavia called Jonathan, but he told her some fantastic news.

“Mom, our chip research was a success. I’ll be receiving 300 million dollars as a bonus.”

Overwhelmed with excitement, Octavia could hardly speak coherently, “This is great! You truly are

wonderful, my son!

Preston snatched the phone and said, “Hurry up and come back. You’re now our only hope of taking

Joe down.”

Octavia hesitated for a moment and said, “But dear, 300 million dollars is nothing to Joe.”

“You fool,” Preston berated her exasperatingly, “With that much money, we can do a lot. We don’t have

to confront him head-on.”

After watching the live broadcast, Chloe called Joseph. However, he seemed too busy to answer her

call.

Worried about Harold’s condition, Chloe went to the hospital and saw Patrick.

“Patrick, where’s Grandpa?”

A hint of relief flashed across Patrick’s eyes as he said, “He’s resting inside the ward right now.

“Can I go in and see him?”

“Well… Mr. Harold said he doesn’t want to see you or Mr. Joseph for now.”

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Oh my… It seems like they really have fallen out.”

“Actually, no matter how harsh Joseph’s words were, he still cares about Grandpa. I’ll give him

a few days to calm down then bring him to see Grandpa.”

Patrick hesitated for a moment before saying, “I don’t think you should come.”

Chloe’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Is it that serious?”

Patrick did not answer her question directly and said, “Mr. Harold wants you to take good care of

yourself. If you feel that Mr. Joseph is treating you badly, don’t hold it in. If you need to vent, then vent. I

have to go now. I need to take care of Mr. Harold.”

Chloe’s eyes were filled with a tinge of bitterness as she watched Patrick walk away. She could not

help but call out, “When Xavia’s amniocentesis results come out next month, can I see Grandpa then?”

Patrick pondered for a while before nodding. He wondered how far Joseph’s plan would have

progressed by next month. Regardless, Harold would still show himself and witness the scene where

Xavia would stay with or leave the Whitmans.

Feeling lost and dejected, Chloe left the hospital. This scene was observed by Vanya hiding in the

shadows, who then reported to Otto with satisfaction, “Joseph and Harold had a big fight. Harold even

refused to see Chloe.”

“Don’t get too excited. Keep an eye on the situation.”

“I know. Joseph’s reputation has dropped significantly and everyone is criticizing him.”

“Hah, this is just the beginning.”

After leaving the hospital, Chloe stood by the roadside as she gazed at the flowing traffic dazedly.

Just a few days ago, they had been sitting together, laughing and chatting over a meal. How could

things have changed so quickly?

Did Harold not adore her? Why would he refuse to see her?

Though she did not know what Joseph had said to Harold to cause such a drastic change in their

relationship, she was certain that most of what Otto had said that day was true-Joseph’s

mother was still alive.

Unconsciously, Chloe found herself standing in front of Fairlight. Reporters crowded the

entrance, swarming her as soon as they spotted her, clamoring to get a piece of the story.
