Chapter 335


    Chapter 335 He Found Ava to Be Unlikable.


    Chloe instinctively tilted her head slightly and said, “Be careful. If things don’t go well, we’ll make


    a run for it.”


    Observing Joseph’s unwavering determination, Calvin summoned a group of burly bodyguards


    who menacingly closed in.


    Joseph’s clenched fist disyed prominent veins, his back slightly arched like a poised leopard, ready


    to sink his teeth into his enemies‘ flesh at any moment.


    Calvin barked out an order, “Teach him a lesson.”


    With those words, one of the bodyguards lunged at Joseph.


    A resounding “thud” echoed through the air as Joseph swiftly and forcefully kicked the assant,


    sending him crashing into the bathroom door, which recoiled like a tightly coiled spring,


    producing a loud, reverberating sound.


    An eerie silence fell upon the hallway, with Calvin and the others remaining silent and still.


    Furious, Ava berated, “What are you all standing there for?! Get him!”


    More individuals swiftly joined the assault against Joseph.


    One, two, three…


    Chloe anxiously observed the unfolding chaos, and in a critical moment, her eyes locked onto a young


    man descending the stairs. She urgently cried out, “Noah, please help us!”


    Noah followed the voice and his face sank. Without a word, he forcefully intervened to put an end to the


    commotion. “What do you think you’re doing, Uncle Calvin?” he questioned, his tone filled with


    usation.


    Calvin pulled Noah to a corner. His anger was palpable as he said, “Joseph just allows Chloe to bully


    Ava. How can I let them off the hook so easily?”


    “Have you forgotten who nearly ruined your business?”


    This isn’t Aesper. If no one finds out, it’ll be as if it never happened What’s wrong with teaching: Joseph


    a lesson?” Calvin’s voice lowered, his eyes turning red. “You know about what happened to Ava when


    Joseph took her to that bar, don’t you? Aren’t you concerned for dira?”.

    Noah’s gaze involuntarily shifted toward Chloe. Strangely, he felt a stronger sense of empathy for


    her than for Ava. After all, there was something about Ava that he found unlikeable.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you want to stand up for Ava?” Calvin asked again.


    “Uncle Calvin, you may have made a mistake,” Noah said, staring at Calvin.


    Calvin was momentarily taken aback. “What do you mean?”


    “Simply put, Ava may not be Aunt Luciana’s daughter.”


    “That’s impossible. When I first met her, she was wearing a diamond ne that Mr. Desmond


    made for Luciana. Only Luciana could have had it.”


    “It’s indeed a genuine piece, but Aunt Luciana might have taken more than just that piece of


    jewelry with her.”


    Calvin’s lips trembled. “What are you trying to say here?”


    “This month, among the jewelry that we recovered, I found another piece that might have been


    sold by Aunt Luciana a long time ago.”


    Calvin’s body swayed. He found it hard to believe.


    Noah lowered his voice and continued, “If you want to confirm whether or not Ava is truly Aunt


    Luciana’s daughter, ask her a few simple questions about her mother. As her daughter, she


    couldn’t possibly know nothing about her biological mother.”


    Enchanting piano music filled the air, its harmonious notes resonating throughout the building as the


    dozen or so bodyguards withdrew, leaving behind one severely injured bodyguard who had to be


    carried off the scene. Calvin led Ava upstairs and promptly shut the door tightly. For some unknown


    reason, Ava inexplicably felt that Calvin’s affection for her had suddenly diminished.


    “Coco, are you hurt? Do you need me to call you a doctor?” Noah looked at Chloe concernedly.


    “I’m fine,” Chloe shook her head and nced at Joseph from head to toe before adding, “He’s fine


    too.


    That’s good.”

    After speaking, she turned and entered the restroom. She looked pretty terrible. Her perfectly fine


    dress had been ruined, and it pained her.


    Joseph’s gaze turned icy as he observed Noah. Though he wore a smile, there was no warmth in


    his eyes. “You two seem pretty close.”


    During theirst encounter at the exhibition, Noah had addressed Chloe as “Miss Chloe,” but now,


    it had changed to Coco.

    Chapter 336 He Disliked Her Treating Him Like a Nobody


    Noah tilted his head and replied calmly, “I guess so.”


    Joseph chuckled, his cold eyes seemingly prating all things.


    As the banquet proceeded, Ava and Calvin were nowhere to be seen. Chloe found this rather


    peculiar. After all, they had made the effort toe all this way, so it seemed strange for them


    not to show up just because of some incident. Given Calvin’s seemingly special rtionship with


    the Sullivans, should he not be more concerned about this event?


    Desmond stayed for a moment, exchanging pleasantries with the others before turning to Joseph


    and asking about Harold’s condition.


    “Well, it’s inevitable for people to be this way as they grow older. We worry about our


    children and future generations. Just like Harold, I’m putting all my hopes on Noah now,”


    Desmond remarked.


    Joseph nodded. “Now that our two families are cooperating, I’ll take care of him in the future.


    Please rest assured, Mr. Desmond.” 1


    Unless there were any unforeseen circumstances, Noah would solely inherit the Sullivans‘ assets.


    Despite his young age and not having graduated from school yet, he had been involved in business


    from a young age.


    However, Desmond still felt that Noah needed someone to support him. Since the Sullivans had


    the intention of establishing a good rtionship with Joseph, he had no reason to decline.


    Desmond was satisfied with Joseph’s response and shed a smile at him.


    Meanwhile, on the other side, Chloe engaged in a lively conversation with a real estate tycoon. The


    gentleman admired her courage and unique insights, leading them to exchange contact


    information.


    By chance, Chloe mentioned the ident involving construction site workers, and the gentleman.


    kindly warned her, “When idents happen at construction sites, it’s often due to insufficient funds and


    the purchase of substandard safety equipment. Keep an eye out. There might be some


    misappropriation of funds.”


    No one would neglect their own life, especially those engaged in high–risk industries. Of course. there


    were also a small number of people who harbored a sense of luck and were toozy to use

    Chloe was taken aback by this revtion and nodded seriously. “I’ll keep that in mind.”


    As the clock struck nine, the event came to a close. Everyone grew tired of toasting and exchanging


    pleasantries. Some headed to the third floor to rest, while others summoned their


    drivers to take them home.


    Chloe was prepared to leave. Before her departure, she scanned the hall but found no trace of


    Joseph. Noah was assisting Desmond back to his room. She did not want to bother them and so


    followed a staff member to the exit since the venue was vast and a little challenging to navigate.


    The attendant offered attentively, “Miss, if you give me your car keys, I can bring the car around for


    you.”


    Chloe maintained herposure and replied, “I don’t have a car. I’ll get a cab. Is there a ce


    around here for me to get one?”


    The attendant hesitated briefly before regainingposure. “Certainly. Allow me to escort you


    there.”


    After walking a few steps, her phone buzzed inside her purse.


    “Where are you?” came Joseph’s calm voice.


    “I don’t know,” she replied.


    “Come to the garage.”


    “Why should I?” Her tone remained calm. Gone was the pleading Chloe.


    “Stop acting ignorant. I helped you just now, so it’s time for you to repay the favor,” Joseph said,


    his voice tinged with annoyance, “If I don’t see you in ten minutes, you’ll bear the consequences.”


    As Chloe listened to the disconnected tone on her phone, she stood motionless for a few inoments.


    Then, she turned toward the attendant and requested, “Please take me to the garage. Thank you.


    Joseph had exchanged his vehicle for a new sports car, emanating an aura of dominance with its


    commanding ck hue. Chloe possessed limited knowledge about cars, but she could sense that this


    one had impressive speed.


    “What’s the matter?” She cut straight to the point, her tone distant..


    Furiowing his brows, Joseph’s gaze turned icy and something inside of him cracked He disliked

    “Grandpa is hungry and wants to eat a meal you’ve prepared,” he replied.


    Chloe was taken aback. “Your grandfather is hungry thiste in the evening?”


    “He got hungry again,” Joseph replied.


    “Fine, I’ll go home and prepare some food for him, but it’ll take some time. About an hour and a half.”


    “No need. Prepare it at my house,” he said.
