    Chapter 204 A Date With Maurice


    Chloe was almost suffocated from the kiss, so she was dizzy now. For a moment, she could not


    understand his words.


    Joseph stared at her blurry eyes and smiled like a demon. He then bent down and made a purplish


    hickey on her slim and fair neck.


    Chloe did not feel much and thought he just kissed her on the neck. When she was back in her office,


    her colleague beside her asked her secretly, “Did you get a boyfriend?”


    “No, I didn’t.”


    Her colleague snickered but said nothing else.

    “Godpa, someone bullied me. Sob…”


    Ava sought out Calvin toin about what had happened, all while crying piteously.


    Calvin put away his work andforted her, “Who bullied you? Tell me.”


    Ava avoided the major issues and dwelled on the minor issues, misrepresenting the truth. As a result,


    she painted Joseph as a senseless, violent man.


    Calvin frowned, ruminating over the matter carefully. “I’ve never met Joseph, but I don’t think he’s such


    a person. Was there some kind of misunderstanding?”


    “Mark got beaten up and was hurt. Of course, there’s no misunderstanding.” Ava pouted and behaved


    like a spoiled


    child before she showed him the photographs Mark Lewis posted on the Inte.


    Upon seeing the picture, Calvin said gloomily, “I’ll get

    someone to deal with it. I can’t let you be bullied for no reason.

    He was going to return to Agosver after a while, so he could not just leave this unresolved.


    Hearing this, Ava agreed to it happily. “Okay, I won’t disturb you anymore, Godpa. Toodles.”


    “Okay, go ahead.” Calvin nodded. He then thought of something and stopped her. “Ava, don’t get too


    close to other celebrities since you’re dating Wyatt now.”


    Ava’s face turned pale. “Okay, I understand.”


    Calvin asked someone to investigate the whole incident and learned that Ava went to Fairlight to meet


    Chloe and that Joseph had arrived halfway through their interaction.


    Calvin’s subordinate reported, “Chloe is Ms. Ava’s younger sister. It looks like they’re always been at


    odds with each other. Chloe moved out of their family home earlier this year. Various things have


    happened since then, and their rtionship is always very tense.”


    “Ava’s younger sister?”


    ‘Isn’t that the child the worthless piece of trash had with another woman?‘ Calvin thought.


    “Yeah, Ms. Ava is one year older than Chloe, but it looks like Ms. Ava was the one who made this


    scene.”


    Calvin’s square face sank. His impression of Chloe instantly soured. Only a few months after Luciana


    Sullivan passed away,


    Benjamin had married another woman. And it seemed that


    they had a daughter too. That b*stard might have even hooked up with Chloe’s mother long ago. Of


    course, Chloe would not be a nice person given that her mother was such a shameless


    woman.


    “Let’s end this here. Tell Ava to stop getting in touch with


    Chloe. If not, she’ll be influenced and might turn out for the worse.”


    “Yes, sir.”

    Ellie finally made her move on Friday. She handed an invitation card to Chloe. “Baxon has a forum in


    themercial district of the city tomorrow. Go and check out what their highlights and operations are.


    See if there’s anything we can learn and apply flexibly.”


    Chloe hid the coldness in her eyes and pretended to be ignorant. “Okay, but why don’t you go instead?”


    Ellie was full of scorn. “You are one of the many juniors in this department, and you guys don’t get to


    see much of the world. But I’m different. I’ve attended countless forums.” She pursed her lips and faked


    a smile.


    At night, Chloe went home and told Joseph about this. He stared at the address on the business card.


    “I’ll go with you.”


    “It’s fine. I can handle it on my own. If you’re worried, you can ask Lucas to wait for me outside.” Chloe


    felt that Joseph’s time. was precious. She did not want to waste his time on such a trivial affair.


    A deep sense of gloom emerged in Joseph’s heart as sarcasm


    dawned on his perfect face. “Why? Do you want to get rid of me so you can go on a date with


    Maurice?”


    “No, I’m just worried that you might be busy, so I don’t want to trouble you…” Chloe noticed that her


    words might be taken the wrong way, so she immediately exined, “It’s best if you could go with me.”


    Joseph’s expression became slightly better upon hearing this. He opened his thin lips to speak when


    he heard someone park a car in the yard. He looked outside and saw Xavia anxiously getting out of the


    car.
