Chapter 701 She pped Joseph


    Chloe stared at Joseph for a while before chuckling. "Oh,e on. If you still like me, just say it. No


    need to say such offensive words. Your intimidation won''t work on me."


    "I''m intimidating you?"


    "Yes, that''s exactly what you''re doing. You''re using disapproval and demeaning tactics to satisfy


    your ego, aiming to make me feel inferior and achieve your purpose," Chloe replied.


    "I''m not that despicable," Joseph retorted.


    "Well then, where did you get the idea that I relied on Noah to get into Exotic Star? Even if I did,


    what''s wrong with that? I got the man and the job. It''s a win-win situation. If you genuinely care for


    me, you should bless me instead of nitpicking and making me feel like you still have lingering


    feelings for me."


    Joseph fell silent and his furrowed brows slowly rxed. Had she finally figured it out? If he had let


    her go, why would he care about her rtionship with Noah?


    Chloe tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Her eyes sparkled as she teased, "Oh? Did I hit the


    nail on the head?"


    "What do you think?" Joseph asked. He assumed that Chloe understood his feelings and got


    engaged to Noah as a means of getting back at him.


    "Well…" she drawled as a sarcastic smile yed on her lips. "It''s normal that you like me since I''m


    so pretty, but I don’t backslide. Especially not to my ex-husband who’s an old man."


    Joseph''s face sank as he red at Chloe. What did she mean by calling him an old man? So Noah


    was young enough for her?''


    Sensing danger, Chloe grabbed her food and tried to escape. But Joseph was not about to let her


    off the hook so easily and locked his arms tightly around her waist.

    Refusing to back down, Chloe yelled, "Help! He vited me!"


    The area was filled with people. As Chloe caused amotion, the passing office workers stopped


    to see what was happening. In just seconds, countless eyes fixed on the two of them.


    Taking advantage of the situation, Chloe continued to y the victim and sobbed. “Someone please


    call the police. I don''t know this man! I think he’s a pervert and a human trafficker!"


    "What? Don''t worry, miss, I''ll call the police right away!" a passerby said, reaching for their phone.


    "Yes, we’ll all be your witnesses. Karma will take care of him!" someone else said.


    "Human traffickers should have their family lines cut off!" another chimed in.


    "Is this what you want to see?" Joseph asked.


    Chloe smiled and whispered, "This is just the beginning."


    "I vited you?"


    "Yes, you were. You hugged me without my consent. If that isn’t a vition, then what is?"


    Gritting his teeth, Joseph fixed his gaze on her lips and chuckled. A bad feeling washed over Chloe,


    but before she could react, he gripped her head and nted his lips on her. Wide-eyed and


    blushing, she tried to push him away, but his grip was too strong.


    The onlookers were stunned into silence.


    "What''s going on? Are perverts this brazen these days?" one person whispered.


    "Maybe they''re just having a lovers'' spat," another spected.


    "I agree. What pervert would be this handsome?"


    Joseph had intended to only give Chloe a small punishment, but her lips were so soft and he got


    lost in the moment. After what felt like an eternity, he worried he would lose control and reluctantly


    let go of her.


    Smack!


    The crisp sound of a p filled the air. Joseph''s face reddened and swelled up. The haze in his


    eyes vanished as he turned to look at the woman who struck him.


    "You hit me?" he said in an ice-cold tone.


    Chloe wiped her mouth and said, "You kissed me without my consent. Don’t I have the right to hit


    you?"
