Chapter 200 How Bold of Him to Pursue Joseph’s Woman
“Do you know her?” Ellie asked.
“Chloe used to work at Baxon, and I had always desired a taste of her,” Maurice said.
This caused Ellie to pause in surprise. She had never expected Chloe to have worked for Baxon, and it
seemed to her that Maurice held a strong interest in her. “Find a way to arrange a meeting with her
quickly. I don’t care what you do, but I need a few photos as evidence,” she said.
Maurice replied, “Arranging a meeting with Chloe won’t be easy. She’s wary of me.”
“You want me to help you?” Ellie questioned.
“Let’s not frame it as helping or not helping. If you help me, you’ll benefit too.”
Ellie contemted for a brief moment, her mind filled with vivid images of a future where Chloe’s
reputation waspletely destroyed, leaving her unable to pose anypetition. A wave of pleasure
surged through Ellie, engulfing her with a sense of satisfaction.
“All right then, but it’ll cost you more,” Elie agreed.

Since the day Xavia appeared at Fairlight, several days passed without her reemerging. The Johnsons
seemed to have
vanished from Chloe’s life as well. Life settled into a tranquil rhythm as if turning over a new leaf. Yet,
an unsettling feeling lingered within Chloe.
Xavia would not simply appear before her without reason, just as she would not genuinely withdraw
from Joseph’s life for no apparent cause. Even if Chloe tried to overlook Xavia’s peculiar behavior and
believe her words, she could not help but
question why Xavia had not stayed away in the first ce. What purposey behind her actions?
In addition, it had been more than a month since the Johnsons had stirred up trouble. They hade
close to achieving their desired oues on two asions, only to have Chloe thwart their ns. If
they were willing to show reason and ept responsibility for their actions, opting for a peaceful
resolution, it would undoubtedly be a favorable oue.
However, given Ava’s cunning and treacherous nature, Chloe could not believe she would endure the
humiliation of being showered with rotten eggs. Was it possible that Ava was brewing something
behind her back again?
Sitting in the VIP seat, Joseph nced below the stage.
Whether it was deliberate or unintentional, Chloe fell precisely within his line of sight. She had her eyes
cast down, lost in her thoughts.
Today was the outdoorunch event for Fairlight’s new project. The gentle breeze tousled Chloe’s hair,
and a few strands floated in the air. She had opted for light and natural makeup today, and her sky–
blue round–cor short dress entuated her delicate and charming appearance.
She furrowed her brows at times, then rxed them. She shook her head, then nodded slightly, clearly
lost in a daydream. She did not even notice when her pen fell from her hand, and it was a male
colleague sitting beside her who
helped her pick it up.
When he returned her pen, his fingertips grazed her hand, and intentionally, he grasped her palm, as if
examining her hand lines or engaging in palmistry. Chloe listened intently, while Joseph’s expression
darkened.
His thin lips parted, and he uttered her name, “Chloe.”
The product manager came to an abrupt stop. He humbly looked at him, awaiting further instructions.
Amid the crowd, Chloe was bewildered as she looked toward Joseph, pointing to herself with her finger.
‘Was he calling me?‘
“Don’t drift off,” he responded.
He did not lower his voice and it possessed a maic chill, carrying an undeniable aura of
intimidation that sent a chill down everyone’s spine. Suddenly, everyone in the room became hyper
focused, devoting themselves wholeheartedly to their work. Whether in school or at work, being called
out on the spot was always the most embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, Chloe had developed the resilience to handle such moments. While she wore an
expression of embarrassment on her face, her response remained calm, “Yes, Mr. Joseph.” Her ability
to remain unruffled by praise or humiliation earned her admiration from the male colleague who had
been reading her palm.
“Based on your palm lines, you’re a woman destined for greatness!” he eximed.
“You’re giving me too much credit,” Chloe replied modestly.
Enthralled by Chloe’s radiant beauty and joyful demeanor, the male colleague could not resist the urge
to ask her for her
contact information. Sensing an opportunity for further interaction, he proposed, “Let’s exchange
numbers. I’m from Tech downstairs.”
Considering they were coworkers, Chloe saw no harm in
exchanging numbers and agreed, “Let’s do it once the event is over.”
‘Otherwise, that guy over there will call me out again,‘ she added silently.
The project manager, having been interrupted, lost his flow. With a sense of urgency, he rushed
through the remaining content, wrapping it up in about ten minutes, leaving the audience eagerly
anticipating their chance to ask questions.
As Joseph left the stage, he nced at Chloe exchanging numbers with her male colleague. His face
instantly turned dark, and a faint aura of terror seemed to emanate from him. ” The one with the
sses. Fire him,” hemanded, his voice dripping with fury.
Lucas‘ body was drenched in a cold sweat as he followed
Joseph’s gaze, witnessing the man’s audacity to pursue
Joseph’s woman while employed under him. He could not help but admire the man’s remarkable
courage in the face of such a risky endeavor.
