    Chapter 166 Reiming Her Man


    Chloe’s smile widened as she replied, “Of course, I’ll make sure to find the perfect gift for you after


    work today. How do you want to celebrate? Will we be going to Grandpa’s ce?”


    “Just you and me,” he replied.


    She was slightly taken aback and said, “Okay, got it.”


    Tomorrow was Joseph’s birthday, while the end of the month loomed a mere two days away. Time


    seemed to slip through their fingers, carrying them closer to the impending court hearing.


    Fairlight’s marketing department convened their regr morning meeting, and Ms. Wendy somberly


    delivered the news that Jason had been fired. Curiosity and concern filled the room as whispers of


    confusion and spection floated among the team members.


    “Why did this happen?”


    “I saw him working overtimest night. Why did this happen all of a sudden?”


    “He hasn’t led any major projects recently. What could he have done wrong? It seems like it’s

    serious.”


    Ms. Wendy shook her head. “I’m not privy to the details. The decision was made by the higher- ups.”


    Upon their arrival that morning, the team had already noticed Jason’s belongings being packed up


    under the watchful eyes of the security personnel.


    A peculiar glint sparked in Chloe’s eyes. She pursed her lips, determined to uncover the truth, and


    swiftlyposed a text to Joseph.


    [Is Jason connected to Jane?]


    A swift response appeared on her screen.


    [Yes.]


    Suddenly, it all made sense. Jason’s mysteriously well-timed bathroom breaks yesterday revealed his


    motive with rity. Given Jane’s long-standing infatuation for Joseph, it was no surprise that she had


    nted covert eyes and ears within Fairlight.


    While Chloe acknowledged the situation, she consciously chose not to dwell on it, immersing herself in


    her work after the meeting. With unwavering determination, she directed her focus toward her tasks


    and responsibilities.


    During that time, she received a call from Ms. Wendy, summoning her into the office. The


    instructions from above were clear: terminate the cooperation with Moongazer Constructions. Chloe


    was surprised. “So, who will bepensating whom for the breach of contract?”


    Ms. Wendy responded with a mysterious smile. “My guess is that it will be Melody Grace.”


    “That seems highly probable.”


    A well-established business unexpectedly took a turn for the worse, and Melody could not escape


    me for it.


    In the afternoon, with no immediate work on her te, Chloe decided to take half a day off and met


    Emily for a shopping trip. They nned to buy a gift for Joseph.


    The two rendezvoused at a luxurious shopping mall. With her hair pulled back into a high ponytail


    which exuded vibrant energy, Emily appeared to be in a much better state than before. The intimate


    photos had never been exposed to her; perhaps it was for the best.


    Chloe yfully remarked, “Finally back to your old self, huh?”


    “Of course! There’s no point in being sad and shedding tears over a scumbag. I was just a little down,”


    Emily replied, her expression filled with mischief.


    “Let the past stay in the past. Preventing yourself from sinking further is the wisest decision,” Chloe


    advised.


    Emily leaned in with a mischievous grin on her face. “Oh, look at you, spouting all these wise quotes.


    Seems like you and Joseph are having quite a fruitful time together.”


    “Stop teasing me,” Chloe said, brushing off Emily’sment, before turning to the task at hand.


    “Tomorrow is Joseph’s birthday. What do you think would be a good gift for him? It’s a bit difficult to


    choose because he already has everything due to him being so rich. He doesn’t care about


    inexpensive things, and I can’t afford extravagant ones. It’s quite a headache.”


    Understanding the dilemma, Emily nodded in agreement. “That’s why the thought behind the gift


    matters most. I don’t think you need to worry too much. Just choose something you feel suits him and


    falls within your budget. It’s the sentiment that counts.”


    “You’re right.”


    Due to budget constraints, Chloe scoured the whole mall, excluding luxury stores, in search of a


    suitable gift. Eventually, she stumbled upon a cozy home attire that was priced a little over $ 450.


    Considering that Joseph often wore pajamas at home, it seemed like a practical choice.


    “Miss, this pajama set also has a women’s version. It’s currently on sale. Two sets for a 55% discount.


    It’s an amazing deal. Would you like to get an extra one?” The salesperson presented a matching set


    of pajamas in the same color to her.


    Chloe’s eyes sparkled as sheid her gaze upon the outfit. ‘A 55% discount!’


    She reached out and felt the fabric, which seemed even softer than Joseph’s. Realizing that she did not


    have many summer pajamas, she felt a strong temptation. However, the sets were designed for


    couples. Would Joseph misunderstand her intentions if she bought them?


    Emily, equally excited about the discount, chimed in, “Absolutely! A 55% discount is practically a steal.”


    “Okay.” Chloe gritted her teeth and agreed. “I’ll take both sets.”


    She reasoned that there were already enough misunderstandings between her and Joseph, so one


    more would not make a significant difference.


    Afterpleting their purchase, Emily suggested they grab a coffee. The bustling coffee shop was


    filled with people, so Emily maneuvered her way to the front to ce their order while Chloe patiently


    waited behind.


    As she stood there, someone tapped her shoulder and asked, “Hello, are you Chloe?”


    Chloe turned around and saw the face of a stranger. “Um, you are?”


    A sinister smile appeared on the man’s face. Without warning, he swiftly covered Chloe’s mouth and


    nose, forcing a noxious and overpowering odor into her senses.


    Overwhelmed by the strong scent, Chloe’s body instantly grew weak, and she lost all her strength. In


    the blink of an eye, darkness engulfed her vision, and she copsed to the ground, unconscious and


    motionless.


    Joseph, on the other hand, was attending a press conference. The venue was expansive, teeming with


    a sea of bodies. Following the host’s grand introduction, the press conferencemenced in earnest.


    The podium glowed under the re of bright lights, and Joseph, with hismanding and graceful


    stature, confidently stepped forward.


    The room buzzed with anticipation, particrly due to the presence of numerous photographers. As


    Joseph made his appearance, their shutters clicked rapidly, each vying to capture the perfect shots that


    would grace the covers of prominent magazines the following


    day.


    Joseph’s face remained cold and expressionless throughout the event.


    Jane, concealed within the crowd below the stage, fixed her gaze on him. Wherever Joseph went, he


    could not escape being the center of attention. This remarkable man should rightfully be hers. It was


    that despicable wretch who shamelessly stole her man.


    Today, she would reim what was meant to be hers!
