Chapter 647 She Dared Not Defy Joseph Any Longer
Nathan''s face sank. "I''m sorry."
Ava had to stay in the hospital for observation, and Nathan needed to work. He went home to pick
up hisptop before heading back to the hospital to apany her.
When no one was around, Ava sent a text to an unknown number. [Chloe has discovered my
identity. What should I do?]
The reply came swiftly. [What do Nathan and the others think?]
Ava replied, [Everyone else believes me.]
The response came, [Then there''s no need to panic.]

Joseph arrived home in the early hours of the morning. He had matters to handle at the Whitman
Group, so he went to Docwood after leaving the hospital. After resting briefly in the living room, he
headed to the office for a meeting just as the sky began to brighten.
After the meeting, Lucas brought breakfast and ced it on the coffee table. "Sir, please eat.”
There were two ck circles around Joseph''s eyes, and he sounded weary as he said, "I''m fine.
Has Chloe contacted me?"
Lucas took out his phone and checked if there were any unread messages. However, there were
none. He shook his head slowly. "No..."
Joseph gazed at the ceiling above and said, "Yesterday, she insisted that Nathan''s fiancee is Ava,
her half-sister."
"What? That''s impossible! They look nothing alike," Lucas said.
He had met Amelia and could not find any resemnce between her and Ava.
"What if she had stic surgery?" Joseph asked.
"Seriously?!" Lucas replied, his voice thick with disbelief. But after considering the current
technology in the beauty industry, he cautiously added, "Well, it''s not entirely impossible. Many
people change their appearance drastically through stic surgery..."
Joseph took a deep breath. "Go to the prison and get some blood or hair samples from Karen.
Fingernails will do too. Just get whatever you can."
"Sir, are you nning to do a maternity DNA test between Karen and Mr. Nathan''s fiancee? Will he
agree to it?"
"Who said we''re asking him? Just find the right timing to get what we need."
"Okay.”
However, Joseph underestimated Nathan''s protectiveness over Amelia. He could not arrange a
meeting with him for the next half a month. He knew it was because Nathan was still upset about
what happened.
In reality, Nathan''s protectiveness was not because of Amelia, but because of his lingering regret of
losing Serenity who had died in a car ident right before his eyes.

After returning from the hospital, Chloe became extremely obedient. She no longer sarcastically
confronted Joseph and behaved like an emotionless doll. He thought she had realized her mistakes
and regretted her impulsive actions, so he nned to take her out to brighten her mood.
But as Christmas approached, his work piled up. Numerous tasks from Docwood and Aesper that
required his attention came knocking. He was so busy that he had to put the matter regarding
Amelia to the back of his mind.
On Christmas Day, Chloe found herself alone at the dining table, surrounded by a feast of dishes.
As she looked at the empty chairs around her, a self-deprecating smile tugged at her lips.
Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye. Xavia was about to give birth, and
Chloe was nine months along. The hospital determined Chloe’s due date to be on the tenth of the
next month.
In recent days, Chloe pretended to follow the prescribed schedule for the herbal medicine. As soon
as the maid left, she secretly poured the medicine into a flower pot. She did not dare to let her body
recover fully, fearing that she might wake up one day to find herself on the operating table.

n with her. But before Emily arrived, chaos erupted outside the house. It was as if more than a

stop talking.
