    Chapter 475 He Didn’t Want Others to See the Photos


    After enduring a bout of nausea in the restroom, Chloe felt a bit better and decided to step out. But as


    she pushed open the door, Joseph was standing right outside, his eyes dark and swarming with a


    myriad of emotions.


    “I saw the photos,” he said.


    Chloe stood there in a daze, and then she saw Joseph holding her phone tightly in his hand.


    “I can exin. It’s not what you think. Icarus and I are not-”


    “You’ve disappointed me greatly,” Joseph interrupted her, “I asked you many times today, giving you


    plenty of opportunities to tell me, yet you didn’t say a word.”


    ‘Am I truly that undeserving of her trust? Does she really prefer to carry this burden alone or seek


    Tyson’s help rather than turning to me?’


    ”


    As she heard his words, her heart tightened in her throat. Believing he was angry, she said, Please


    believe me. Nothing happened between Icarus and me that day. They forced me to take off my clothes.


    If you don’t believe me, I can call Icarus right now to prove it.”


    “Enough!” Joseph gritted his teeth, cutting her off.


    Like


    any other man, he too felt furious upon seeing such photos. The irony was that the overwhelming rush


    of anxiety and fear overshadowed his anger. He dreaded the thought of those indecent photos falling


    into someone else’s hands. It would cause irreparable harm to her and leave asting shadow on her


    life. Yet, she persisted in exining herself, afraid he would not trust her.


    Seeing her like this left a bitter feeling in Joseph’s heart.


    “Joseph…” Chloe softly called his name, unsure of what to say.


    “Go to the room,” Josephmanded, taking a deep breath to calm himself.


    She took a step back and said, “Can’t we talk about this here?”


    The veins on his forehead pulsated. He firmly grasped her hand, leading her upstairs despite her


    resistance.


    “Stay here. Don’t go anywhere, and wait for me. I’lle back and settle this with youter,” he


    instructed before storming off, mming the door shut behind him.

    Chloe tried to open the door, only to find it locked. She looked around the empty room, her heart filled


    with sadness and a sense of grievance spreading within her. Why would he not believe her? Why did


    he not give her a chance to exin? She could have called Icarus and everything would be as clear as


    day.


    That night, she slept dreadfully, drifting between dreams and wakefulness.


    In the morning, Patrick brought breakfast to her room. She tried to leave, but he stopped her.” Miss, Mr.


    Joseph instructed that we are to wait for him to return before letting you out.”


    “Where did he go?” she asked.


    “I’m not sure, but rest assured, miss. Whatever the issue may be, Mr. Joseph will take care of it,


    “Patrickforted in a kind tone.


    “Patrick, you don’t understand,” Chloe said, a bitter smile dawning on her face.


    Joseph had zero tolerance when it came to such matters, and for him to trust her was a luxury in itself.


    It was true that Patrick did not fullyprehend the situation, but he could see that Joseph treated


    Chloe well. After what they had gone through, he hoped that they would not argue again this time.


    As Patrick prohibited her from leaving, Chloe could only stay in the room. Her phone was taken away


    as well. Worried that she would get bored, Patrick thoughtfully brought some books for her to pass the


    time.


    As the hours flew by and evening descended, there was still no sign of Joseph’s return. Growing


    impatient, Chloe pounded on the door, yearning to be free.


    “Miss, please be patient. Mr. Joseph is on his way back.”
