Chapter 504 Dude, You’re Being Sued

Chloe closed her eyes. She then looked up at Hazel after a flash of understanding, her eyes ice- cold.

“Your father left, and then you came. What the hell do you two want? Are you done here?

Hazel was frightened, so she explained timidly, “I’m here to explain. There’s nothing else.”

“Are you here to explain or to get close to Joseph? I’m sure you know your own intentions.”

Hazel was not a virtuous woman since she was entangled with a married man like Preston.

Joseph was hit by a wave of displeasure. “Watch your tongue.”

“Are you feeling sorry for her?” Chloe did not hide the sarcasm in her voice.

“Chloe…” he said her name slowly as anger and helplessness engulfed him. She was the only woman

he cared about, but she still doubted him.

“Please don’t fight because of me. I’ll leave now,” Hazel hurriedly chimed in.

“Go, and don’t just say that for show. Don’t be trying to fish for his compassion.” With her arms over her

chest, Chloe shot Hazel a fierce glare as if she had seen through the latter’s thoughts.

The blood drained out of Hazel’s face. She lowered her head and said to Joseph, “Bye, Mr. Joseph.”

With tightly pursed lips, Joseph replied lightly.

After Hazel left, Joseph looked at Chloe, who was rooted to the spot. “Are you satisfied now?”

Chloe erupted in anger. “Far from it!”

“What more do you want?”

“What are you trying to say?” Her anger reached a boiling point as she burst into a peal of laughter. “My

husband was hugging another woman. Is it out of the line for me to rebuke her?

“I wasn’t hugging her. I was just supporting her to keep her from falling. You’re making a fuss out of

nothing.”

Joseph failed to see the seriousness of the issue and felt that Chloe was being unreasonable.

The plastic bag of the takeouts cut into Chloe’s palms. She felt that she was too soft-hearted. She had

managed to quell her anger after leaving. After some thought, she figured that he might not have eaten

after being busy the whole day, so she got takeout for him while passing by a restaurant.

And what did she get in the end?

She saw him being lovey-dovey with Xavia’s substitute.

Joseph strode toward Chloe and towered before her. When he noticed what was in her hands, his eyes

lit up. He took them and asked, “Did you get this for me?”

“Yes, I got it for you and Hazel. I’m afraid you guys would be starving after being lovey-dovey for a long

time.”

Chloe had no intention of letting him off the hook as her anger grew.

“That’s enough. I’ve been patiently coaxing you for such a long time. What the hell do you want from

me?”

As they locked gazes with each other, the frustration in Joseph’s eyes was clear, causing Chloe to flip

out. “Oh, thank you so much for coaxing me. Should I thank you humbly and kneel before you?”

Her clap back left Joseph speechless. He had never been so humble with any woman. As his dignity

shattered, reluctance overcame him, and his charming face sank.

“Stop. Don’t make me mad.”

Chloe felt like a fool. She stuffed the takeouts into his hands.

“You fucking bastard!”

Before he could react, she stormed away.

Holding the warm takeouts, Joseph was stunned. His anger soon subsided and he wondered if

he had been too harsh.

When Lucas saw Joseph come back alone, he touched his face. He felt like asking but was not bold

enough.

After Joseph finished his meal, he was no longer angry. He glanced at the GPS and found that Chloe

had driven back to her apartment. He slipped on his blazer and said to Lucas, “Go home. Everything’s

done for the day.”

But as soon as he made that statement, Samuel arrived.

“Dude, you’re being sued. Jonathan and his family are getting a lawyer to sue you.”
