Chapter 558 Unbelievable


    Joseph''s face darkened. He gripped his pen so hard that it snapped in half.


    He found it difficult to believe that this was happening. Thinking back to Chloe''s silent demeanor


    from a few hours ago, he realized she had been nning to break up with him since then. No,


    maybe even earlier than that.


    As this thought coursed through his mind, his countenance grew even darker and the fury swirling


    within his chest pierced him like a thousand sharp des.


    Lucas perceptively sensed the changes in Joseph''s emotions. He carefully approached him and


    asked, "Sir, would you like to continue the discussion?"


    "Please give us a chance, Mr. Joseph. Having one more friend means having one more source of


    strength."


    "If Braike hadn''t overstepped, we wouldn''t be troubling you with this."


    The business partners thought they had a chance and expressed their sincerity one after another.


    Little did they know that their voices irritated Joseph even more.


    “Get out!”


    Joseph''s sudden outburst reverberated through the room, his eyes aze with crimson fury and the


    veins on his forehead throbbing intensely. An eerie silence descended upon the space, and


    everyone froze in response.


    Lucas was puzzled and could not understand why Joseph would suddenly fly into a rage. His gaze


    landed on Joseph''s phone, and his pupils constricted, finally grasping the reason behind Joseph''s


    immense anger.


    ‘How bold of you, Ms. Chloe…''


    Suppressing his fear, Lucas escorted the bewildered business partners out of the office. When he


    returned, the room was empty.


    Joseph sped back to the house, fury coursing through his veins. He disregarded the traffic rules and


    even received a fine from an officer. After that, although he still failed to reign in his emotions, he


    managed to restrain himself from any further outbursts or misconduct.


    "Chloe, I''ll count to three and you''d better be out of the bedroom by then. Otherwise, you''ll face the


    consequences," Joseph said, throwing his car keys onto the coffee table and casting a cold gaze


    upstairs.


    A terrifying silence hung in the air, with no response to his words. Joseph''s fingertips trembled


    slightly, sensing what might have happened. He strode toward the bedroom door and gave the door


    a gentle push.

    The wardrobe door was wide open, revealing an empty space where once Chloe''s clothes resided.


    Her absence confirmed that her heart held no trace of nostalgia. Joseph''s muscles tensed, his


    anger concealing a hint of unnoticed nervousness.


    He dialed Chloe''s number, hoping she would answer ande home. If she offered him an


    apology, he was willing to forgive her. The call went through quickly, but instead of hearing Chloe''s


    voice, he was met with a familiar, icy mechanical one.


    "Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavable. Please try againter..."


    Joseph strongly suspected Chloe had blocked him. He called Lucas and asked him to try reaching


    out to Chloe. However, Lucas too received the same message of her phone being turned off.


    A strange sense of relief washed over Joseph. He sat down, took a sip of water, and then headed to


    the Johnson Group. The receptionist was puzzled upon seeing him. "Ms. Chloe went to Estre on a


    business trip and has yet to return."


    Joseph furrowed his brow, scrutinizing her face. The receptionist felt a chill down her spine, and she


    quickly defended herself, "I''m telling the truth."


    He sensed that she was not lying and thus wasted no time as he turned around and left. He knew


    that Chloe would not return to Oceanic Residence. So that left only two other options: the Johnson


    vi and Emily''s ce.


    Joseph instructed Lucas to find Emily while he went to the Johnson vi. When Emily saw Lucas,


    she pretended that she did not know anything and said, "Coco hasn''t contacted me. Joseph must


    have upset her again."


    "I don''t know. I''m just here to ask questions." Lucas stared at her. "Do you really not know where


    Ms. Chloe is?"


    "I don''t!" she asserted boldly, urging him to leave. "You have to leave now. I need to get back to


    work. This won’t look very good to my superiors if they found out."


    Lucas had no choice. He did not want to disturb Emily, so he reported to Joseph about his finding.


    "What was Emily''s reaction when she heard about this?"


    "She seemed surprised…"


    Gritting his teeth, Joseph said, "She''s lying"
