Chapter 111


    Chapter 111 We Aren’t Fit for Each Other


    Joseph exuded an air ofziness as he lounged on the sofa, his face partially concealed by the angle


    of the photo.


    Yet, even with only half of his face visible, his captivating presence was enough to enchant anyone who


    laid eyes on him.


    Upon seeing the handsome guy, Emily’s mind cleared up a bit. “Isn’t this the handsome guy we


    encountered at the bar who was with Jake’s uncle that day?”


    Chloe’s anger was written all over her face. “What did you say?”


    Perplexed, Emily repeated, “What’s the matter? He’s the guy we met at the bar. I also met him at the


    ss reunion the other day. Honestly, you could make a move on him if you weren’t so fixated on


    seeking revenge against that despicable couple.”


    Even during the short encounter at the bar, Joseph’s charisma remained undeniable. He emitted an


    aura of elegance and exceptional grace. While others might have been easily forgotten, he possessed


    the ability to leave asting impression.


    “Stop it…” Chloe was on the verge of tears. She thought Emily had made a mistake, but it turned out


    that she was the one who had misunderstood.


    ‘I’m such an idiot!”


    “By the way, why do you have his photo? And from this angle, it looks like a sneak shot….” Realization


    quickly set in for Emily, her eyes widening in astonishment. “You know him?”


    Dropping to the floor, Chloe clutched her head and said exasperatingly, “He was the man I flirted with at


    the bar…”


    Emily’s jaw dropped, her face filled with disbelief. “You must be joking!”


    “What should I do? I’m married to him…”


    ‘I also nearly had sex with him…‘


    Emily stood there in a daze, taking a moment toe to terms with reality before a smile slowly crept


    onto her face. “This is great! He’s so handsome, and he must be very wealthy, right?”


    Lifting her head, Chloe bit her lip and said, “He’s the owner of Fairlight.”


    ‘Not only that, but he also has a big mansion, fancy cars, and a coboration with Patterson.‘


    The heavens had given her countless signs, but she failed to delve deeper into their meaning. Emily


    jumped from the bed and said excitedly, “Don’t forget me when you get rich!”


    “Stop teasing me. I’m so f*cking worried right now.”


    “What’s there to be worried about? He’s rich and handsome. You should consider yourself lucky.”


    “He doesn’t love me. Our contractsts only for three years. After that period, we are to get divorced.”


    “Enchant him and make him fall in love with you. Persuade him to extend the contract, and before he


    knows it, a lifetime will have passed in the blink of an eye.”


    “You’re making it sound so simple.” Chloe smiled bitterly. “We aren’t fit for each other. Our background


    doesn’t match. What’s more, he doesn’t like me at all.”


    Emily fell silent. Throughout history, the union of individuals from the same social standing has held


    significant importance in marriage.


    Chloe let out a sigh, feeling lost. She hid like a turtle at Emily’s ce for a whole day, keeping her


    phone turned off to avoid the harsh reality she did not want to face.


    While applying her face mask, Emily nced at Chloe and sincerely offered her advice. “You should


    have a serious conversation with Joseph. Dragging it out like this won’t solve anything.


    ”


    “I don’t know what to say…”


    “Well, I think it’s fine if you don’t say anything. After all, you still have three years. During that time, you


    can stay by his side and even work at Fairlight. Make good use of these three. years, and focus on


    your career. Even if you can’t win his heart in the end, at least you’ll have a respectable job.”


    Chloe picked at her nails, hesitating. “But wouldn’t that be using him…?”


    “Oh please. He married you to appease family expectations.”


    “You’re right…”


    Emily removed her mask and casually tossed it into the trash can. “Let me ask question. Do you not


    have feelings for Joseph whatsoever?”


    Three years was not long, nor was it short either.

    the notion of “mismatched backgrounds.”


    Chloe found herself at a loss, unsure of what to do. There were moments when Joseph treated her


    kindly, and she could not deny that she had developed some level of affection for him.


    However, every time the flickering me of love began to ignite, it was abruptly extinguished


    by his cutting remarks.


    “No. Anyone who likes him is just asking for abuse,” Chloe said.


    Emily responded with a contemtive silence before stating, “You should think it over. I’m off to meet


    my boyfriend now.”


    “Shouldn’t it be chicks before dicks?!”


    The night stretched on.


    Chloe felt a mixture of anticipation and unease as she switched on her phone. She scrolled through her


    messages, but to her disappointment, there was no message from Joseph. Instead, she saw a


    message from Icarus.


    [Chloe, are you avable at 8 tonight? I have something to discuss with you. Let’s meet on the fifth floor


    of Gilded Harvest.]


    She checked the time. It was seven o’clock, and she figured that she still had enough time. She quickly


    tidied herself up and set off.


    However, as soon as she stepped out of the building, her vibrating phone in her bag caught her


    attention. She pulled it out and saw the name “Joseph” disyed on the screen.


    At the sight of the name, Chloe’s hand trembled as she answered the call.
