Chapter 523 Xavia Is Involved With Duskfall

Lucas tried his best to keep up with Joseph as the latter walked swiftly. When they were almost at the

door, his phone rang.

He found that it was a call from Emily, so he stopped and said respectfully, “Sir, I have to answer a call.

Tell me if there’s anything I can do for you. I’ll be at the door.”

Joseph ignored Lucas and pushed open the door, fixing his gaze on Chloe.

She was sitting before the office desk, reading the datasheet seriously with a tight crease between her

charming brows. With her pretty cheeks and small but tall nose bridge that formed a perfect arch, she

was the perfect example of solemnity.

As he looked downward, he noticed her soft red lips and yearned to kiss her.

Joseph’s eyes turned hazy. She seemed to have become prettier though they had only been separated

for a few hours. She was not heartless after all and had come to him of her own initiative.

Hearing the noise, Chloe looked up. “Are you done with your work?”

“Mm-hmm.”

He was, in fact, not done. It was supposed to be a long day of meetings, and they would take up more

than two hours, but he had ended them early.

Displeasure crept up her face. “Is that all you’re going to say?”

“Get things straight here. You’re the liar, not me.”

“Yes, I know.” On her way there, she had figured out what she wanted to say. “I admit that the person

who’s suffering from irregular periods isn’t Em but me. I was too embarrassed to tell you about it.”

Hearing this, Joseph put away his grudges. He immediately asked, “What about the doctor I hired for

you? Didn’t he go to you?”

“Yes, he did. I got some medicine at the hospital, so I can’t add on too many other medications right

now. I didn’t let him check me either.”

“The old herbalist is very famous. Just listen to his instructions. If it’s ineffective, you can go to the

hospital.”

“I’ve already started the medications. It’s better to finish one full treatment course to see its effects.”

Chloe did not want to dwell much on the topic. She then sald inadvertently,

“What did Noah say to you on the phone last night?”

Joseph sneered. “Didn’t I tell you?”

But Noah’s words were generally unreliable, and Joseph did not believe that Noah was with the dumbo

the day before. He was just upset that they were keeping in touch in private.

Chloe was rendered speechless. She did not know who to trust. After all, both of them did not look as if

they would lie to her. Hence, she was engulfed with conflicted feelings.

“You still don’t trust me?” Gnashing his teeth, he stared closely at her.

“I want to customize a few pieces of jewelry. He helped me ask the jewelry designer. We haven’t

contacted each other about anything else except this.” Chloe took the initiative to explain helplessly,

“What did he say yesterday? Is it possible to customize them?”

“No,” Joseph spoke concisely. He did not want to say anything more about Noah.

Chloe did not want to bring contempt upon herself. “Fine, got it. I won’t ask you about Noah anymore.

Did you find out who killed Hazel?”

“No, the car didn’t have a license plate, and the driver wore a mask and sunglasses to hide his face.”

“His face was hidden…” Chloe murmured before she thought of Vanya’s face. “Was it someone from

Duskfall?

“What does Duskfall have to do with Hazel? If she was killed because of a recording, doesn’t it prove

that Xavia has some kind of unspeakable secrets with Duskfall?”

Joseph narrowed his eyes. He neither refuted nor echoed this statement.

Chloe stared at him with her clear eyes. “Do you still believe that Xavia is a pure white sheet and that

everything that happened has nothing to do with her?”
