Chapter 41
Chapter 41 Is Chloe Not Your Daughter?
Joseph stiffened and murmured robotically, “Yeah.”
Chloe’s words were so pleasant that Harold felt like he was wrapped up in a cotton jacket. He beamed
so wide that his smile reached his eyes. “Okay, okay. I’ll do as you say, Chloe.”
They enjoyed their dinner in a harmonious atmosphere, and before Harold left in his *car, he
remembered that the two families had yet to meet. However, he resisted the
urge to bring up the information he had uncovered about Chloe’s family.

‘Well,’ he thought, ‘I could just meet them on my own.’
After seeing off Harold, Chloe removed the stickers on the refrigerator and carefully wiped off the glue
that stuck to it with a cloth. As she wiped, she told Joseph, “I’ll make it sparkling clean. I’ll remove the
potted nts on the balcony too. Rest assured. Your house will go back to exactly the way it was
before.”
Joseph felt a bit embarrassed at Chloe’s words. She made it sound like he was the one being
unreasonable here. He picked up the leash to take Toto for a walk and said, ‘
Never mind. Let’s just leave it as it is. Grandpa will visit again, and it’s too troublesome to keep
rearranging things.”
“You’re right.”
In any case, Chloe did not feel like cleaning everything, so she put away the cloth and went to the
bathroom to take a shower. As she approached the bathroom, she turned to Joseph and said, “By the
way, what do you think of Baxon Corporation? I’m nning to
go
there for an interview tomorrow.”
“You’ve found a job?”
“Yeah, just today.”
Not understanding why Joseph was not responding, a look of confusion appeared on
Chloe’s face.
When Joseph faintly spoke, his voice was steady and his jaw clenched tightly. Despite theck of
malice in his tone, there was an indescribable, spine-chilling feeling to it as he asked, “Didn’t you say
Fairlight was a good choice? And yet you’ve already moved on so quickly?”
Chloe could not figure out how she had upset him and forced out a dry smile. “I didn’t

show up on my first day of work at Fairlight, so even if I wanted to work there, it’s not in the cards for
me anymore.”
Joseph was momentarily silent before saying, “Baxon’s pretty good.”
Chloe was ustomed to his unpredictable reactions and did not take it to heart.

Chloe had matters to attend to tomorrow, so she went to bed early. As soon as shey down, she
remembered the “surprise” she wanted to give Joseph tonight. She thought *of the sexy nightgown she
bought today and her face grew hot with anticipation.
Despite this, she decided to dy the n until after the interview. After all, she had to secure the job
before making any moves on Joseph. With a job in hand, she would not have to worry even if he kicked
her out.
The next day was overcast, and the streets below themercial building were crowded with people
who seemed busy with their own affairs. They held cups of coffee and looked down at their phones,
paying no attention to the dark clouds overhead.
At the appointed time, Chloe arrived at Baxon for her interview. Since she was rmended by an
internal staff member, the interview process went smoothly, and she was informed on the spot that she
had passed.
Although the sry was not as good as at Fairlight, she was aware that it was probably the best
opportunity she could get for the time being. As an unemployed individual, she could not afford to be
choosy. Thus, she agreed to begin work the following day.
“Okay, I’lle in tomorrow.”
In the meantime, at an upscale club, Benjamin was adjusting his clothes with a nervous
best and excited expression on his face. He instructed Ava, “Make sure to give your performanceter.
We can’t afford to make any mistakes. This is very important since this investor is crucial to our
company’s expansion ns.”
“Don’t worry, Dad,” Ava reassured him.
She had taken great care in dressing up. A full face of makeup coupled with bright red lips made her
otherwise ordinary appearance seem a bit shy. With the pressure of her father’s expectations
weighing heavily on her, she felt her palms growing sweaty.
“Who is this person and why did he want you to bring me along?” she asked.

“I don’t know either. The old man sent someone to tell me that his granddaughter is about your age and
he always brings her along when he conducts business. So, he wanted me to bring my daughter too to
keep his granddaughterpany,” Benjamin exined.
He may not know much about the old man’s background, but one thing he was certain of was that the
man was not an ordinary wealthy person based on the car he drove and the ring on his finger.
“Ah, I see,” Ava replied with a hint of disappointment written on her face. Soon, the door was pushed
open. Benjamin and Ava stood up from their chairs and put on a smiling faces to greet the neer.
Silently, Harold surveyed the room. When he only saw Ava-who had a forced smile on her face and not
Chloe, his face turned grim.
He was displeased with the father in front of him for bringing only Ava. After all, was his granddaughter-
inw not a member of the Johnson family too? No wonder Chloe never mentioned anything about her
family to them.
As Ava met Harold’s eyes, her legs could not help but feel weak. She turned to Benjamin, feeling
slightly aggrieved and not understanding what she had done wrong.
However, Benjamin’s attention was focused solely on Harold. He was busy pouring tea and handing
Harold the menu, trying his very best to cater to the old man’s needs.
Harold’s butler intercepted the ss of water that Benjamin handed over with both hands and said, “Mr.
Harold doesn’t drink anything prepared outside. He thinks it’s dirty.”
