Chapter 231


    Chapter 231 She’s So Troublesome


    “I found the friend of the man in the footage. He’s one of the homeowners of this neighborhood. I went


    to see him, but he had already deleted the video…”


    “Tsk.”


    Since Xavia had achieved her goal, it did not matter if the video was deleted. Lowering her head, she


    said nervously. “My emotions got the better of me when I watched the video yesterday, and I unjustly


    used Ms. Chloe. Joe, is Ms. Chloe at home right now? I want to apologize to her.”


    Joseph’s jaw tightened, his expression cold as he sneered. “No need to apologize. Didn’t she hit the


    dogs? Did she not lie? What’s done can’t be undone. Since she made a mistake, she needs to be


    punished.


    After briefly pausing, Xavia agreed with Joseph, “You’re right. Lying isn’t about the size of the problem


    but about one’s fundamental attitude.”


    Upon hearing her words, Joseph’s gaze darkened, his countenance subtly changing with a chilling


    aura. “Please see yourself out. I want to be alone for a while.”


    Xavía nodded silently and reminded him, “Remember to take your breakfast. You have a weak


    stomach.”


    Joseph looked at the white bandage on Xavia’s arm and suddenly became irritated again.


    Noon arrived.


    Joseph thought that Chloe would beg him to let her out, but he had not heard any movement from the


    bedroom. Frowning, he called out to her. “Chloe.”


    There was no response.


    He twisted the doorknob and saw her lying in bed. Her face was pale and covered in cold sweat as if


    trapped in a nightmare. Her eyes were tightly shut as she muttered something helplessly.


    His heart skipped a beat, and he touched her forehead. ‘D*mn it, she’s having a fever.’


    “Wake up. I’ll take you to the hospital”


    Joseph tried to wake Chloe, but she seemed to sense someone beside her and curled up in fear,


    resembling an abandoned little kitten.


    Joseph had no other choice but to carry her. However, as soon as he touched her, she screamed in


    panic.


    “No… It wasn’t me… Please don’t hit me…


    “Dad… It really wasn’t me…


    “It was Ava. She’s the one who did it. It wasn’t me…”


    A pang of pain shot through Joseph’s heart, and hisrge hand gently patted Chloe’s back. soothing


    her emotions in the middle of the nightmare.


    In the end, he invited Harold’s doctor to the vi. After a simple examination, the doctor said, “Her body


    is weak, and her immunity system isn’t in great condition, so she caught a cold. She just


    needs to take some cold medicine.”


    Once the doctor left, Joseph retrieved cold medicine from the first-aid kit, intending to feed it to Chloe.


    She tightly sealed her lips, refusing to take the medicine, causing most of the water in the cup to spill.


    Joseph frowned. “You’re so troublesome.”


    Without hesitation, he ced the medicine in his mouth, leaned down, and kissed Chloe’s lips.


    Evening came.


    Chloe woke up in an exhausted state. When she saw someone beside her, she instantly became fully


    alert.


    “Why are you in my bed?”


    Having slept for too long, coupled with menstrual difort and having a cold, Chloe felt weak all over,


    and her voice sounded soft and tender, resembling a spoiled child.


    Joseph, who had not been fully asleep, was awakened by her fuss. Putting his hand on his forehead,


    he replied irritably, “This is my bedroom.

    Chloe was momentarily stunned, recalling being forcibly locked in the room by him yesterday. Without


    hesitation, she uncovered the nket and got out of bed to return to her own bedroom.


    Softening his tone, Joseph spoke as if he was doing her a big favor. “You have my permission to sleep


    here tonight.”


    Over the course ofst night, she should realize where she went wrong, and it was about time she


    apologized to him.


    “Thanks, but no thanks.” Chloe put on her shoes without even a pause.
