Chapter 691 Does It Feel Good to Be Mistrusted?


    Before Jasper could speak, the woman jumped in andined, "Your son bit my hand. You have


    topensate me."


    Chloe examined the bite marks on the woman''s hand and then turned to Jasper. "Is that what


    happened?"


    "She scolded me first. She also pinched me, so I bit her," Jasper said truthfully.


    "Nonsense! This child only knows how to lie. Why would I, an adult, hit him?" the woman


    vehemently denied. Pulling her daughter close, she asked, "Did you see me scold him?"


    The little girl, with her mother fiercely winking at her, said softly, "Mommy didn''t hit him or scold him."

    Jasper could not believe that his ssmate would sell him out.


    The woman, having achieved her goal, smugly extended her hand and demanded, "You heard her.


    Compensate me."


    Chloe stood her ground and pointed toward the gas station''s surveince camera. "I''m willing to


    compensate you, but first, let''s review the surveince footage together. If your ount matches


    what actually happened, I''llpensate ordingly."


    The woman''s face changed. She pulled her daughter’s hand and started walking away. "If you don''t


    want topensate me, then don''t. What a pretender."


    Chloe rolled her eyes at the woman''s theatrics, then turned to reassure Jasper with aforting


    look. "Stay here. I''ll get the surveince footage just in case she causes more trouble."


    Fifteen minutester, Chloe sent the surveince video to Jasper. Staring at the phone, he


    murmured to himself, "You believe in me more than her."


    Every time something happened, that woman would immediately put the me on him and never


    give him a chance to exin. He had only known Chloe for a short time, yet she had stood up for


    him, and it felt nice.


    Chloe raised an eyebrow teasingly. "You''re too easily moved."


    With his emotions exposed, Jasper disyed some uneasiness. He cleared his throat and turned to


    look out the window as if trying to conceal something.


    Soon, Chloe arrived at the vi. After watching Jasper go inside, she turned the car around to leave


    as someone in a red car made their move. They suddenly elerated and headed for the rear of


    Chloe’s car. Having long noticed the car, she quickly swerved to avoid the collision. The oing


    car spun out of control and crashed into a nearby road sign, creating a loud noise upon impact.


    Chloe refrained from getting out of her car and instead quickly grabbed her phone to photograph the


    red car''s license te. She then immediately made a call to report the incident to the authorities. As


    she exined the situation to the 911 dispatcher, a woman stumbled out of the red car. She red


    in Chloe''s direction and quickly disappeared from sight.


    Chloe smiled. Something about that woman''s figure reminded her of Xavia.

    At 8 in the evening, Chloe stormed into Joseph''s presence and mmed the photos she had taken


    onto the table. "Control Xavia and don''t y with fire. You’ll end up harming yourself and others."


    Josephced his fingers over his chest, adopting a superior posture, and replied, "I''ve checked the


    license te number. That isn''t Xavia''s car."


    "I know. It belongs to Megan, a good friend of Xavia''s. Shouldn''t you use your brains before


    showing bias?" Chloe felt exasperated, and her face filled with disdain.


    Whether intentional or not, a smile tugged at Joseph''s lips. "You expect me to believe you just


    because of a license te?"


    "Fine, forget the whole thing if you don''t believe me," Chloe replied with a hint of frustration.


    She had only wanted to warn Joseph about Xavia, concerned about her current state of mind and


    her ability to take care of Jasper properly. But if he was going to y dumb, there was no point in


    continuing the conversation.


    As she stood up to leave, Joseph gripped her arm. His intense gaze bore into hers as he asked,


    "Does it feel good to be mistrusted by others?"


    "Are you crazy?" Chloe snapped.


    Wasting no time, Joseph presented a set of blueprints. "These are the floor ns of the hospital


    where the fire happened. There''s a secret passage in the operating room where you were. Even the


    current hospital director is unaware of its existence. Care to guess how Noah managed to rescue


    you so timely?"
