Chloe walked over and took the document to take a look.Soon she put away all the displeasing affairs that had just happened.Her voice went a pitch higher and she appeared shell-shocked as she asked, "Is this evidence of Sebastian's tax evasion?""Mm-hm.""Do you want to report against the Foxes?" Chloe put both hands on the table. "Aren't they your family friends? Why do you want to do this?""Do you really believe in that superficial relationship?" Joseph’s lips twitched in an unfathomable manner and his expression filled with disdain.Jane's ambition was pretty obvious, so Mr. Harold never considered her when he was introducing women to Joseph. Of course, people cared about equal social ranks when it came to their marriages but they were also afraid that it might cause disaster instead.Chloe was slightly stunned but realized that he was right. Jane might really like Joseph, but she always talked about interests and profits. How sincere was her love for Joseph? What she care

After Chloe exited the elevator, she gazed at the whole floor that Joseph occupied.A realization overcame her. Although he had a bad temper and vicious tongue, he was not a playboy. After spending such a long time with him, she found that he had good self-control.‘He is a pretty good man…’When Lucas came out, he saw Chloe standing at the entrance of the elevator, lost in thought. She even nodded to herself from time to time.He waved his hand in front of her and disrupted her thoughts. "Ms. Chloe, are you here to see Mr. Joseph?""Ah… Yes. Is he here?""Yes, he is."After saying that, Lucas deliberately added, "Mr. Joseph has left instructions that you may go straight in whenever you come by. It's more convenient that way."Chloe gave Lucas a weird look. She just needed to come here once to deliver lunch to him at noon every day. So, it had nothing to do with whether it was convenient or not.Still, she gave a courteous reply even though she fancied such a thought.Surpris

Chloe clenched her fists beside her body and faked a smile. "Why?"Jane’s smile deepened as she leaned in closer to Chloe. "It's because the woman he loves is abroad. He remained unmarried for such a long time because he was waiting for her to come back. When she's back, it'll be time for you to get lost."He married you because he felt that you're obedient and easy to bully. It'll be easy for him to get rid of you in the future, and he won't get into trouble either."On the other hand, the Foxes and the Whitmans are family friends. If there's a marriage, it'll be an alliance. It won't be trifled with and we can't get a divorce so easily." Jane looked at Chloe and mocked her, "But you're different. Your mother died early, and your father hates you. Your family disowned you, so no one will step up for you. It won't cost much to make you disappear."Joseph is a businessman. He knows how to minimize losses."Chloe was stunned. She knew more than anyone the meaning of this marriage. S

Ava was dressed in a delicate white dress, laughing and joking with a stranger. Her enchanting demeanor made the man next to her blush."I'm relying on you for this case.""No problem. It's just a small matter. But can you handle your alcohol? You don’t look like a wild one...""I can handle some. Lawyers like you must have a challenging time in their daily work. Today is a good opportunity for you to unwind.""Then I'll follow your lead. Thanks to the timely rain outside, it has created this chance. It's an honor to have your company, Ms. Ava."In just a few sentences, Chloe grasped the situation at hand. Without hesitation, she boldly approached the pair, a sneer on her face.As soon as Ava caught sight of Chloe, her previously joyful expression turned serious. The man beside her observed the sudden change and inquired, "What's the matter?"Ava’s lips tightened into a line and whispered, "I just saw my sister."The man paused, following her gaze, and his eyes landed on Chloe,

"If you refuse to obey me, who else would you listen to?" Joseph disregarded the first part of her sentence, gripping her chin tightly as he questioned her coldly.According to customs from the olden days, a husband was traditionally regarded as the center of a wife's world, and it was expected of her to obey him dutifully.Joseph's intensity instantly grew, causing Chloe to gulp nervously. "I mean, our relationship is somewhat unequal. We should treat each other with respect.""Fine, as long as our capabilities match.""But even if I don't match, there should still be some humanity. I cook for you every day and even have to flatter you as Toto does. I’m a living, breathing person, and I deserve to be treated with dignity!""What's wrong with being like Toto?" Joseph raised his chin slightly. "Do you know that many people in the world envy Toto's life?”Chloe gazed at the Border Collie lying by the door, its luxurious bed imported from abroad and costing tens of thousands. A mere
