Chapter 545 Men Fall Prey to Their Loneliness at Night
“Patrick did as you instructed and epted the medicine Dr. Spencer prescribed as per normal.
“Also, Dr. Frederick has confirmed that the herbs Ms. Chloe has been taking are normal herbs. to
regte her blood cirction. He says that she can go ahead with one round of the treatment and see
how it goes.
“Lastly, Otto lied to Preston. He gave Preston an empty promise” When Lucas reached this point, he
gave Joseph an admiring gaze. “Thankfully, you long guessed that the Sinirs would start with
Preston and made preparations by changing the documents in the safe. Otherwise, Preston would
have ruined Whitman Group.”
‘Mr. Joseph sure pulled off an awesome feat and nned ahead.”
Joseph opened his eyes as he smirked. “Did anyone in the family try to beg for mercy on Pres’ behalf?”
“No one else but Jonathan. He came once but Patrick turned him away.”
Joseph’s noble face became unfathomable. “Because of Jon, I’ve long sensed something fishy.”
Jonathan imed to have invested in a chip research center. Given his intelligence, there were only
two possibilities that he would end up making money he either got lucky or was deceived.
There were few centers doing, chip research within the country, and it was easy to find out the
mastermind with a little investigation. Other than the Sinirs, others would not have meddled with the
Whitman Group even if they had an ulterior motive.
After some thought, Lucas said, “Why didn’t you tell Jonathan about this?”
“Both parties were willing. There’s no reason for me to stop him. What’s more, Jon won’t listen to me
even if I told him to back down. I can’t change who he is.”
“But you’re allowing him to be entrapped when you know it’s a trap. I’m sure Mr. Harold will feel sorry
for Jonathan if he finds out.”
After all, Preston was useless now.
“We can’t show others mercy. Do you think that useless Jon is Otto’s real target?”
Listening to Joseph’s reminder, Lucas was enlightened. “Is Otto trying to take you down. through
Jonathan’s hands?”
Joseph did not deny it. “Pres is a good example.”
After a pause, a chill ran down Lucas’ spine. He muttered, “Sir, you have to be careful from
now on…”
Joseph ignored Lucas. When he felt his phone vibrate, he took it out and found the photo. Chloe had
sent him.
Her skin was fair and tender and her ck eyes shone brightly under her longshes. Donning a pink
T-shirt, she and Abigail’s arms were linked as she shed a peace sign in the photograph. They were
standing by the Cyen River. The two rows of shady trees beside the river, as well as the sunset shining
on the water’s surface, made for a breathtaking sight.
Joseph erged the photo until his phone screen was filled with Chloe’s face. He smiled in satisfaction
and quietly enjoyed her charms.
After dinner, Chloe checked her phone and found that Joseph had texted her back.
[The Cyen River isn’t half as pretty as my wife.]
Chloe was rendered speechless.
“This bastard sounds so cheesy when he says romantic words. But it’s an improvement from always
refuting me. I hope he’ll behave and not be so aloof or cheesy.”
Abigail took out her phone and snapped a lot of photos. Her usual aloof face was rxed as she
revealed a hint of joy. She said solemnly, “Ms. Chloe, thank you for bringing me here. I’m very happy
today.”
She had sensed something on their way here. Chloe did note here to buy gifts. She just wanted to
bring Abigail sightseeing.
Chloe revealed a faint smile. “It’s nothing. There’s a shopping mall right across from us. Let’s go there
and take a look around. We’ll get to tomorrow.”
One should rx and be serious at appropriate times.
“Okay!”
Xavia knew that Chloe had gone abroad. Therefore, she dressed up and put on some light makeup.
She then went to Fairlight to meet Joseph.
