Chapter 749 The Person He Thought He Knew Duped Him
Joseph squinted as his voice contained a hint of uncertainty and hesitation, "What are you talking
about?"
"Grandpa hasn''t told you, huh?" Chloe straightened up as she narrated the facts nonchntly,
"Xavia’s working for Duskfall. She’s the one who orchestrated all the twists and turns."
Chloe did not wish to meddle in other people''s affairs, but neither did she want to owe anyone
favors, especially not to someone as arrogant as him.
Joseph froze, his brows deeply furrowed. "How could Xavia possibly be involved with Duskfall? And
if she is, why would she still pester me after Grandpa has woken up?"
"That''s why she has been getting close to Keh."
Not wasting too many words, Chloe yed for Joseph a recording taken at Dawnstar. In it, Xavia''s
tone shifted from furious roaring to desperate begging. The whole ordealsted no more than ten
minutes, but the extent of her evil deeds was enough to be unforgivable for a lifetime.
A dark shadow took over Joseph’s face as he emitted a chilling aura. The person he thought he
knew had duped him for years. She had even used Jasper to seek attention. His heart ached as he
grasped the extent of the harm he had caused Chloe, and this was just the tip of the iceberg. The
atrocities hidden in the darkness, concealed from the light, might be more than he could ever
imagine.
When Chloe decided to leave Aesper with Noah all those years ago, she must have been
heartbroken.
Chloe calmly looked at Joseph, then nced at the two bodyguards beside him. "But Duskfall and
Xavia probably don''t know about your rtionship with Callum."
Xavia was trying her best to climb her way up to Callum’s side, unaware that Joseph and Callum
were friends. This dynamic was...rather intriguing.
Joseph stared at her as he asked in a tense voice, "If you knew all along, why didn''t you tell me?"
Chloe rolled her eyes. "I mentioned before that Xavia is problematic and that she might be
connected to Duskfall. You’re the one who didn''t believe me."
Though theycked concrete evidence at the time, they were husband and wife. He should have
trusted her unconditionally, but he had let her down.
Joseph''s throat tightened as he fell silent, unable to find the right words to respond.
A gleam of satisfaction shed through Chloe''s eyes. She adjusted her cor and said, "I suggest
you think before you act. Go home and have a chat with Grandpa first. Don''t let your emotions cloud
your judgment and upset him."
Joseph''s brow was tightly furrowed, his expression cold. After a moment of silence, he took off his
coat and draped it over her. "Even if Xavia is connected to Duskfall, certain things still can’t
proceed. Be wary of Noah."

Late at night, at Duskfall, a loud crack echoed through the room.
Crack!
A whip with sharp spikes struck Xavia''s tender skin, causing it to split open. She trembled in pain
and blood flowed out of the cuts. It was onesh, and this one pushed her the limits of her
endurance.
"S-Sir, I didn''t know that Chloe and Callum were acquainted."
Cyrus'' face was cold as he gripped the whip tightly. "ording to my investigation, Callum''s men
have been secretly protecting Chloe for several days. You didn''t notice anything?"
"N-No… I didn''t know. If I had, I would have informed you immediately."

"You useless piece of trash! Chloe snatched away what was supposed to be yours, and now she
has a rtionship with Callum. Yet, all you’re capable of is seducing Callum''s son. Is there any way
you can fail more miserably?!"
Cyrus'' words of anger cut like a sharp de. His usual calm temperament was now reced with
coldness mixed with a hint of terror.
Xavia said through parched, cracked lips, "Sir, are you saying that Chloe and Callum are having an
affair?"
Cyrus scoffed at her naivety. "You''re an idiot whose head is filled with nothing but romance. Do you
think rtionships between men and women are only limited to sex?” He knew Callum''s
temperament and knew he would not be swayed by a young woman in her twenties.
