Chapter 68 You’re Such an Idiot
Narrowing his eyes, Joseph pinched her cheek.
“You’re such an idiot,” he remarked.
Chloe believed that he was unfamiliar with the area since he had just returned to the country, so she
took it upon herself to exin, “Fairlight is located in Dixie Center. 1 didn’t make a mistake.”
It was he who was the idiot.
Joseph remained silent, a hint of inscrutability crossing his gaze. Chloe stared into his deep and
unfathomable eyes, feeling as though she was peering into an abyss.
Suddenly, something shed through her mind, but she could not quite grasp it. She thought carefully,
but could not catch the passing thought.
It was hot in the afternoon. Chloe joined her coworkers for a quick lunch break. downstairs before
returning to her desk. As she pulled out her phone to check her messages, she realized that Miles had
not responded to her morning message even after five hours.
While contemting whether to call him, she scrolled through her Facebook feed and noticed that
although he had not responded to her message, he had forwarded a corporate promotional message.
Chloe took a deep breath and tapped the call button.
“Mr. Miles, do you not have time to review the files?” she asked.
“I’ve been very busy. I’ve been in court all morning,” Miles replied.
“When I went homest night, I reviewed the contract we signed. The date on it was forst
Wednesday, and today’s already Monday. ording to the contract, you should’ve already contacted
me. I don’t know if you’re too busy to remember work-rted matters, but regardless, please make
time tomorrow at noon to meet with me face-to- face. Let’s meet at your office, I’lle to you.”
Chloe did not give Miles a chance to refuse and promptly hung up the phone.
Irritated, Miles lit up a cigarette and called Benjamin.
“Your daughter is causing trouble for me, please deal with it quickly,” he demanded.

“I’ll contact her this afternoon, but I’ll need you to cooperate with me,” Benjamin said calmly. He had
alreadye up with a method to deal with Coco a long time
ago.
“I can cooperate with you, but you need to make sure that she doesn’t suspect anything. You already
have the money, so I trust you won’t betray me. My entire family depends on me to provide for them,”
Miles said.
“It’s true that I’ve gotten the money, but I didn’t forget your shares back then.’
Miles felt a little regretful. The benefits he received were insignificantpared to the assets left by
Chloe’s mother. Since he had decided to break the agreement, he should
have asked for more.
Benjamin ced his phone on the coffee table and Ava immediately hugged his arm, speaking in a
gentle tone, “Daddy, why don’t we return the assets to Coco? Even if I don’t have money, Jake won’t
look down on me. But Coco is different. She has a bad temper and if she gets married without any
money, she’ll be bullied by her inws.”
“She ran away and left this home, so there’s no need to worry about her,” Benjamin replied.
ording to him, Chloe had sunk so low that she was now behaving like a promiscuous woman who
shamelessly sought the attention of older men. She was nothingpared to Ava, who was both kind-
hearted and knowledgeable.
Since she refused toe home, Ava should get the assets.
Ava’s heart swelled with delight as she heard those words. She reached up and brushed her fingers
against the diamond ne adorning her neck, a precious heirloom passed down to Chloe from her
late mother.
From the moment Avaid eyes on the ne, she was smitten with its beauty. The diamond
shimmered with a warm, translucent glow in the sunlight, and one could tell its immense value at just a
nce.
Now, in addition to the billions of dors, the ne and diamond ring were all rightfully hers.
Suppressing her sense of satisfaction, Ava said, “Daddy, I managed to get in touch with Mr.
Alexander’s secretary. I have an appointment this afternoon, and if the opportunity arises, I will discuss
our business n with him.”
Benjamin nodded in agreement and emphasized the importance of securing the
partnership with Patterson Real Estate as it would determine their family’s sess In bing a
major corporation.
“Be sure to return early. We need to cooperate with Miles tomorrow,” Benjamin.
reminded her.
Ava smiled lightly. “I will, Daddy.”
Holding a folder, Chloe got into thepany car.
In the afternoon, she joined her colleagues on a visit to a client’spany to discuss some ns. They
soon arrived at the entrance of Patterson Real Estate, which had a simr simple yet grand style
reminiscent of Fairlight. On both sides of the entrance. sat two pots of marigolds.
As the team leader, Chloe got out of the car and had a brief conversation with the security guard, who
then nodded and went inside to notify the client after telling her to wait patiently for a moment.
The afternoon sun was scorching, so Chloe went back into the car to wait. At that moment, not far from
the entrance of Patterson, Ava was having a conversation with a man in formal attire. Both of them had
unpleasant expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, the man spotted something in the distance and gestured to Ava. She followed his gaze and
her eyes lit up. Chloe was curious and followed their line of sight too.
She saw a young man in his early twenties, perhaps even younger, step out of a pink Maserati. He had
slicked-back hair and he exuded a rebellious nature.
Chloe knew who he was. She had seen him on a celebrity gossip site. Adam Graham, the sole heir to
Patterson Real Estate, and a ssic example of a privileged young man. Born into wealth and luxury,
he had a reputation for getting into brawls, dating famous women, and stirring up controversy.
She could not fathom why Ava’s expression suddenly changed upon spotting Adam. It was not until
Ava pretended to trip and fall in front of him with a pitiful and seductive. look in her eyes, resembling a
peacock in heat showing off its feathers, that Chloe’s red lips curved into a scornful smile.
‘Jake, oh, Jake. Looks like someone is going to cheat on you soon.’
