Chapter 707 Icarus Is Dead


    Putting on a fake smile, Chloe said, "Is it that hard to understand?"


    Joseph was livid. "I just want a chance to talk to you properly. Is that wrong?"


    "It is.”


    "Don''t twist the truth here. Where did I go wrong?" he said, refusing to admit his mistakes.


    "Did I ever say I wanted to talk to you? Did I ever say I wanted to listen to that recording?


    Everything you do is based on your own assumption. I don''t want to relive those days of unbearable


    pain. It''s no different from being killed all over again!" Chloe shouted at the top of her lungs.


    No one knew if she was truly angry or if she was just putting up an act. However, her eyes were


    filled with tears and she looked pitiful.


    Joseph could not bear to see her cry and immediately surrendered. "Please don''t cry. I just wanted


    to exin things. I won’t hurt you again."


    "You''re just selfishly trying to prove your innocence. You don''t care about how I feel at all!"


    "I’ll never do it again. I''ll change," Joseph promised sincerely, his eyes filled with affection as he


    gazed at her.


    Chloe pushed him away. "It''s toote. I''m Noah''s fiancee now."


    Why should he have the privilege to exin himself and erase all the pain he had caused with just a


    few words? It was unfair.


    Joseph froze. Although he knew that she would not forgive him easily, it still pained him when he


    heard her say she was Noah''s fiancee.


    Chloe noticed the change in his expression and felt a small sense of pleasure. However, it did not


    last long as she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did Icarus really die?"


    Joseph looked at her and replied, "Yes, he did. I was the one who collected his body."


    Frowning, she asked, "Did you…"


    "It wasn''t me."


    "Then who?"


    "Duskfall. After I beat him up, I threw him out onto the road. A car then ran him over."


    Chloe gasped, realizing the terrifying power the Sinirs held. They treated life as if it was nothing


    and killed anyone they wanted. Suddenly, she did not want to seek revenge on Xavia anymore. She


    had always felt that Xavia was somehow connected to Duskfall. If she caught their attention, the


    cost would be too high.


    "That’s why I didn''t do anything. It was to find out the truth. Will you please give me a chance to


    make up for my mistakes?" Joseph asked, looking like a boyfriend trying to appease his girlfriend''s


    anger.


    Michael, who was standing in the corner, felt quite speechless. It had been hard enough for him to


    come across a girl he was interested in, yet this one seemed to have so many identities. One


    moment, she was Joseph''s ex-wife, and the next, she was Noah''s fiancee. He did not want to


    offend either side, yet he did not want to give up on her so easily.


    After contemting for a few seconds, Michael voluntarily left Chloe''s office. It seemed like he was


    giving them space, but as soon as he stepped out, he went to find Noah.


    Noah was surprised to see Michael as he knew about Chloe''s new marketing n. "What''s the


    matter, Mr. Michael? Is there something wrong with your contract?"


    "No, there''s nothing wrong, but there are some things I want to talk to you about. I''m not sure if I


    should though…" Michael said, sounding hesitant and unsure.


    Noah put down the pen in his hand and said, "It''s all right, go ahead."


    Michael continued, "Mr. Noah, did you and Ms. Chloe recently get engaged?"

    "Yes, we did."


    "Well, here''s the thing. I was in Ms. Chloe''s office discussing work earlier when Mr. Joseph came to


    see her. They talked about the past and emotions started flying. Perhaps you’d like to go over there


    and check on them?"
