    Chapter 19 Another Interview


    “A security guard?”


    Lucas had not told Joseph that a security guard had been involved as well.


    Chloe nodded, and as she recounted the incident, she felt aggravated. Rolling up her sleeves, she


    showed him the scratches.


    “This is what he did to me. There’s a wound on my calf too.”


    The two scabs on her fair skin looked like damage on a priceless piece of artwork, and the sight was


    jarring.


    As she continued toin about Fairlight, his expression grew increasingly dark. Chloe only noticed


    something was amiss with Joseph’s expression after she had finished venting. She cautiously prodded


    him with her finger and asked, “What’s the matter?”


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ‘Is he a friend to the CEO of Fairlight?‘


    “Nothing,” Joseph replied.


    “Okay…”


    Joseph lowered his gaze and suppressed his emotions. “Go to bed early, and please wash the dishes.”


    “Sure,” Chloe said readily. She did not find any issue in taking care of the dishes since Joseph was the


    one who cooked.


    The lights were still on at the Johnson residencete at night. Sitting on the couch, Benjamin asked


    doubtfully, “The interviewer at Fairlight was fired because of Coco?”


    Ava, who was sitting beside him, grabbed his arm. “It’s true. What other reason could there be? Such


    things don’t just happen by coincidence. Coco must have found someone better than us.


    “Do you think she’s really capable of doing that?” Benjamin scoffed. “Those with power aren’t idiots.”


    It was within the norms of high society for men and women to have a secret lover without their family’s


    knowledge, and Benjamin was convinced that Chloe was being kept as a mistress by the man in


    question.


    “Daddy, we can’t just watch Coco go down the wrong path. You should call her tomorrow and ask her to


    come home,” Ava said.


    “Indeed, society can be unforgiving, especially to those who try to benefit from the wealth of


    the influential without paying a price. Rumor has it that a young girl was caught by the wife of the man


    she was seeing and had her face disfigured. It ruined her life. Despite Coco’s strong personality, she’s


    still a Johnson and would do well to avoid any kind of scandal. Any negative publicity would have


    severe consequences for both Coco and the Johnsons as a whole,” Karen


    chimed in.


    After listening to what Karen said, Benjamin patted her shoulder and let out a long sigh. “She treats you


    so rudely, yet you’re still trying to help her.”


    Karen smiled. “No matter what she does, she’s still my child. I’m just afraid that Coco won’t


    up the “She doesn’t have a choice. She doesn’t want toe home because she messed contract. If


    she refuses toe home tomorrow after I call her, she can say goodbye to the assets that her mother


    left for her.”


    He had originally nned to give Chloe a tenth of her mother’s assets, but now he was reconsidering


    it.


    At his words, Ava hugged his arm and asked sweetly, “What about me, Daddy? Where’s my


    share?”


    Benjamin’s expression softened and a smile spread across his face. “My dear, every single thing in the


    family belongs to you. I’ll make sure your wedding is the grandest there ever was.”


    After overindulging in the pasta Joseph had cooked, Chloe did not sleep well and woke up at dawn to


    the faint light of morning.


    She continued toy in bed, listening as the upant in the next room turned on the lights, went into


    the bathroom to freshen up, and then headed out the door. She could not help feeling envious of


    Joseph.


    Unlike her, he had a job.


    Chloe received an email at precisely nine in the morning, which is the customary time for


    manypanies to start working. As she read through the message and reached thest line,


    her eyes


    widened in utter disbelief.


    Before she could even recover from her shock, a phone call came in.


    “Yes, I’m Chloe.


    “Huh? The interviewer from yesterday was fired?


    “Yes, I’d love to.”


    After scheduling another interview in the afternoon, Chloe hung up the phone. She clutched her phone


    tightly with both hands and spun around several times. She felt indescribably happy.


    Chloe still found it hard to believe when she arrived in front of Fairlight. Then, she noticed that the


    security guard who had thrown her out yesterday was nowhere in sight.
