    Chapter 370 Is Joseph Bothering You Again?


    Chloe followed Joseph out of the station. But before they even, Icarus‘ call came in.


    Joseph calmly crossed his arms and said, “Answer it.”


    Chloe whispered, “I don’t want to answer.”

    “I’ll answer it for you then.” He snatched the phone and answered while pressing the speakerphone


    button.


    “What’s wrong, Chloe? Why did you suddenly break up with me? Is Joseph bothering you again?!”


    Chloe was afraid that Joseph would get angry. She tiptoed and held onto his strong and powerful arm


    as she hurriedly replied into the phone, “It has nothing to do with him. It was my own decision. That


    day, it wasn’t a tanker truck in the ident, and you didn’t risk anysting damage to save me. I


    despise deception. Don’t contact me anymore.” She pressed the end call button and snatched back the


    phone.


    The entire sequence of actions flowed smoothly.


    Joseph smiled ambiguously. “Lying without flinching, as always.‘


    Chloe did not want to argue with him and wisely changed the topic. “How does Samuel n to handle


    the situation with the victim’s family?”


    “Standard procedure.”


    Chloe frowned. “But they’re not willing to settle…”


    “If hecks the ability to negotiate, then he shouldn’t be in this line. Being awyer requires


    professionalism and eloquence.”


    “I can ask him to offer them morepensation. I have money.” Chloe offered, realizing that providing


    additional mary assistance was the only contribution she could make at the moment. For other


    matters, she was willing to go to great lengths if necessary.


    Joseph nced at her but did not offer a response.


    Along the way,


    Chloe noticed that they were heading toward the Whitman family home. She focused her gaze and


    inquired, “Are we going to see Grandpa for the note now?”


    Joseph responded matter–of–factly, “Why not?”


    “Okay.”


    She wanted to assess Grandfather’s stance before delving into the matter. It puzzled her why the


    suicide note left by Joseph’s father, meant for his son, was being withheld from him.


    In a private hospital in Docwood, Noah looked at the just–awakened Eustace. He casually poured


    himself a cup of chamomile tea and asked, “What’s your rtionship with Xavia?”


    Eustace, the person he had unexpectedly saved, had been involved in an assassination attempt.


    Despite sustaining multiple gunshot wounds, none of them had hit any vital organs, allowing him to


    cling to life.


    The reason Noah decided to save Eustace was simple. He had found numerous photos of Xavia on


    Eustace’s phone, all taken at close range, some of which were rather revealing. The timestamps on the


    images indicated that they were taken rtively recently. However, ording to Noah’s knowledge,


    Xavia had recently be pregnant with Joseph’s child. The timelines simply did not match up.


    Eustace gritted his teeth and remained tight–lipped.


    Observing his reaction, Noah suddenly erupted intoughter, revealing pointy canine teeth, which


    appeared adorable yet innocent. He carefully set the teacup aside and took deliberate steps toward


    Eustace’s bedside,ing to a halt beside him.


    Eustace nced up at the young man, who bore a resemnce to a university student, with a


    perplexed expression, unsure of his intentions.


    Noah abruptly seized a handful of Eustace’s hair and forcefully yanked him downward. Eustace was


    taken aback by the sudden brutality hidden beneath Noah’s gentle and seemingly docile demeanor.


    Caught off guard, he was unable to react in time and found himself being forcefully dragged from the


    bed to the nearby bathroom.


    During the process, all of Eustace’s wounds were torn open, and his hospital gown became soaked


    with blood. His scalp was almost ripped off his head.


    Noah did not give him a chance to respond, pressing his head down firmly into the filled bathtub.


    Eustace struggled desperately, but Noah showed no concern, allowing the water to ssh onto his


    face. With innocent eyes, he serenely observed as the person in the water weakened and struggled


    until bubbles emerged on the surface.


    Just as Eustace was on the brink of drowning, Noah pulled him out, gazing at the person slumped on


    the floor. He tilted his head slightly and casually stated, “I saved your life, so your life now belongs to


    me. When I ask you something, you answer. Understand?”


    “Ack, ack, ack!” Eustace coughed up water, his horrified gaze fixed on Noah. “I understand, I


    understand…”


    “Excellent. Now let me ask you again. What’s your rtionship with Xavia?”


    Eustace hesitated for a moment, his desire to survive overpowering everything. With


    earnestness, he replied, “I’m her boyfriend.“
