    Chapter 489 Cyrus Sinir


    Chloe btedly realized what he meant, her pretty face going a little pink. What was with this man? His


    mind was always in the gutter.


    Of course, Joseph was just messing with her. He was not so desperate as to get frisky in broad


    daylight.


    With the weather getting cooler, Chloe picked out long sleepwear, the soft cotton fabric loosely draping


    her delicate figure. The loose fit hid her pregnancy well, and she rarely experienced morning sickness.


    During her showers, her baby bump was noticeable, but once she got dressed, it waspletely


    hidden. She looked just like any regr person. Even now, lying in the same bed as Joseph, there was


    no way anyone could tell her secret.


    Joseph was not ustomed to taking afternoon naps, but the woman cuddled up next to him smelled


    so good and felt so soft-like a natural sleep aid. Before he knew it, he drifted to dreand.


    Out in the yard, Patrick was giving orders to the house helpers. “Mr. Harold’s meds are running low. Go


    find Dr. Spencer at the hospital on Monday and get a refill.”


    “Yes, sir,” the helper affirmed, sneaking a peek at Xavia who was still standing around.


    Patrick noticed her and said in an annoyed tone, “What is this? Didn’t anyone call a cab for Ms. Xavia?”


    Without giving Xavia a chance to say anything, he went on, “I apologize for the dy. It isn’t easy to


    catch a cab out here. I forgot because I was busy with other matters. The helpers probably didn’t notice


    either. I’ll get someone to drive


    you.”


    Xavia had not even considered leaving, but since Patrick brought it up, she could not possibly stay.


    Reluctantly, she nodded and replied, “Thank you.”


    Patrick called on the driver and watched as Xavia left through the main gate, his hands behind his back


    and a look of disdain on his face. “This woman has got some nerve. If I hadn’t said anything, she


    would’ve lingered around forever!’


    In the car, Xavia watched Patrick through the rearview mirror, a cunning glint in her eyes.


    Monday, meds, refill…’


    She had glimpsed a chance to mess with the old man and his medication.


    epii was jolted awake by his phone ringing in the afternoon. He rubbed his forehead, anced at the


    woman sleeping beside him, and quietly got out of bed, taking his phone with


    him as he left the room.


    “Sir, we found an important lead.”


    “Go on.”


    “The mastermind behind Duskfall is as you suspected. It’s Cyrus Sinir.”


    Joseph’s body trembled violently as a surge of memories, long suppressed deep within him, came


    rushing back. The image of his father’s death shed in his mind.


    “Sir, are you listening? We also discovered that Briake’s CEO always has thest name Sinir.’


    Could they be rted?”


    The word “Sinir” echoed in Joseph’s ears, mixing with his darkest nightmares. His eyes turned a


    deep, ominous red, and in a fit of rage, he hurled his phone.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Crash!


    The phone shattered into fragments upon impact.


    Chloe rubbed her eyes and came out of the room, perplexed by the sight of the shattered phone on the


    floor. “What happened?”


    Joseph quickly turned away, not wanting to scare her. “I dropped it. I’ll get someone to clean it up.”


    Chloe watched as he walked away, her face filled with bewilderment, unaware of what had just


    urred.


    Joseph reached the first floor and bumped right into Harold. The older man wore a grave expression.


    “Did you send someone to investigate the Sinirs again?”


    Joseph neither confirmed nor denied it.


    “Leave them be. The past is the past. He just can’t stand to see us doing well.


    “He had Chloe kidnapped, and now he’s after you. How could I let that slide?” Joseph said in a low


    growl as he seethed with anger.
