Chapter 593 Letting Xavia Stay

Patrick looked at Xavia suspiciously before glancing at Chloe. "What happened?"

Xavia beat Chloe to it. "I wanted to see Grandpa one last time but Ms. Chloe prohibited me from

doing so. She pushed me to the ground... Patrick, I don't blame her. She’s probably upset because

of her fight with Joe. I can understand her feelings."

Chloe was too exhausted and weak to argue with Xavia so she stayed quiet. She was not expecting

Patrick to speak up for her. After all, many people thought that her child was not Joseph's.

"You're right," Patrick said slowly, "But there's one thing you didn't do well."

Xavia became baffled. "What’s that?"

"You know that Ms. Chloe’s fighting with Mr. Joseph, so why did you come here and

disturb them? Are you trying to take advantage of the situation?"

"I just—” Xavia blushed and hurriedly tried to explain, but Patrick was not interested in hearing what

she had to say.

"Stop talking and stop dreaming. What you want is impossible. Mr. Harold drew up a will before he

passed. One of the conditions is never to let you be a part of the Whitman family. You'd better

behave yourself." He handed Oreo's leash to her. "Only this dog here is related to you. Leave after

you’re finished with your visit."

Anger rose in Xavia's heart. 'He's that old bastard's man through and through. He's just as

annoying.' She touched her belly, deciding to drive him away after marrying Joseph.

Chloe was touched and gazed at Patrick. Unexpectedly, someone was still willing to take her side.

Xavia saying she had come here to visit Oreo was just a ruse. After being admonished, she became

upset. She no longer wanted to stay and got up to leave.

Joseph, who had been watching from the second floor, called out to her, "Stay for a meal."

He had been standing behind a one-way glass window, so he could see the situation outside while

others could not see through the window. Its soundproofing was excellent too.

From the side, Harold hit Joseph with his walking stick. "You’re making me mad. I don't like her. Get

her out!"

"You have to stay in the room for now, so you won't see her. I'll have Patrick deliver your food to

your room."

"You ungrateful grandson!"

Joseph shrugged indifferently. "Are you going to continue scolding me? Otherwise, I'm leaving."

"I believe that Chloe isn't that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding between you

two. Stay calm and talk it out with her. Or, you can ask her to do an amniocentesis like Xavia. It's

simple."

Harold was aware of what transpired with Icarus yesterday. He would never believe Icarus' words

regardless of what he said and even if the truth was right before him.

Although Joseph was a bastard, his intelligence, wealth, and charms were one of the best in the

country. Icarus could never compare to him, and Chloe was not a fool. Why would she want to cheat

on Joseph with Icarus?

Joseph snickered sarcastically. "If she dared to have an amniocentesis, would she have waited until

now?"

After a brief silence, Harold smacked the table hard. "I don't care. In short, I don't believe that she's

such a person."

Downstairs, Xavia was over the moon. She purposely said while in front of Chloe, "Okay, I'll stay for

a meal."

Chloe narrowed her eyes and smiled bitterly. He did not have to behave brazenly even if he wanted

to give her up. Besides, why was he not disgusted by the thought of being with Xavia? Or, could he

make do with any woman as long as she was pregnant with his child?

Patrick gritted his teeth angrily. He helped Chloe up. "Please stay for a meal too."
