    Chapter 226 Sir, That’s My Phone


    Chloe’s fists clenched tightly, her eyes bloodshot with a burning rage. Hatred consumed her as she


    uttered the words, “Yes, let Benjamin suffer the consequences!”


    She wanted Benjamin to endure the same despair her mother had experienced before her untimely


    death.


    Lucas looked at Wren and asked, “Sir, how should we handle her?”


    “Send her back. We may need her as a witness at a crucial moment.”


    Chloe felt a heaviness in her heart, but to her surprise, Joseph canceled his morning meetings and


    devoted the entire day to being by her side. She clung to his waist affectionately, crying and finding


    sce in his presence until exhaustion overcame her. She unknowingly drifted off to sleep, tears


    staining her cheeks.


    When she woke up, it was already 2 in the afternoon. Her mood had calmed down considerably. Jojo,


    I’m sorry for disrupting your work this morning.”


    Joseph interlocked his fingers, leaning back in a rxed demeanor. “Feeling better now?” Chloe wiped


    away the remnants of her tears. Her gaze was determined and resolute. “Yes, I’m going to head back


    to Marketing. See you tonight.”


    The breakdown of an adult has its limits. Once the storm of emotions subsided, it was time to gather


    strength and tackle life head-on. Despair and tears never solved any problems.


    This time, Chloe was determined to fight back.


    In the afternoon, Chloe’s newly written marketing copy and project gained traction. It went viral, the


    copy garnering high praise from major tforms in the finance industry. Bloggers. specializing in


    finance shared andmented on it, using sharpnguage and presenting novel perspectives.

    Sweetheart of Finance,” recognizing her as the most beautiful girl in the industry. As a result, in the


    following days, her colleagues yfully referred to her as the “beauty icon of the finance. world.” Even


    Ms. Wendy, who had recently given birth, called to offer her congrattions.

    Lucas prepared a cup of coffee for Joseph and brought it inside. Just as he was about to leave, his


    phone started beeping. Without thinking, he instinctively reached for his phone to check the notification.


    Half of Joseph’s daily trivial matters were handled by Lucas, including tasks rted to the homeowners’


    group. The notification was from the property manager who had suddenly tagged him andter sent a


    photo apanied by a mischievous emoji.


    [Mr. Joseph, may we print this photo formunity promotion? Of course, we’d be happy to provide


    you with the image rightspensation. I identally came across it while reviewing the surveince


    footage yesterday. The image of you and your wife standing together is sol beautiful as if you were


    destined for each other.]


    The photo captured Chloe and Icarus, looking very happy together and two Border Collies obediently


    by their side. It perfectly depicted the ideal life that most people had in mind-lovers, pets, sunset, and a


    wonderful atmosphere.


    Other homeowners beganmenting.


    [Both of them have such high levels of attractiveness. Can having a dog enhance marital rtionships?


    I want one too]


    [Now that’s good looks and talents. Utilizing them for promotion will definitely boost the sales of houses


    here.]


    [I saw this couple passing by yesterday. The dogs misbehaved, and the female owner smacked their


    butts. Hahaha]


    Lucas’ hand holding the phone trembled. It was true that Ms. Chloe was the female owner, but Icarus


    was not the male owner.


    Joseph lifted the cup of coffee and took a sip, ncing at the stunned Lucas who was just standing


    there. “Anything else?”


    Trembling, Lucas stammered, “There might be something else…”


    “What do you mean ‘might be?” Joseph’s tone turned to one of displeasure. “Be efficient in your work.”


    “Yes, sir.”


    Joseph pinched his brow, his voice turning icy. “Is there something or isn’t there?”


    Lucas did not dare to beat around the bush and handed the phone to Joseph, cing it in front of his


    eyes. “Sir, please take a look. Can we agree to use it for promotion?”


    Joseph lowered his gaze, his eyes gradually turning cold as they fell on the photo. With a loud


    bang, the phone shattered into pieces. The screen waspletely ruined.


    Lucas dared not speak. He simply thought, ‘Sir, that’s my phone!”


    Joseph’s voice was chillingly sharp “Summon Chloe here now.”
