Chapter 217


    Justin angrily berated Chloe, as if she had killed his mother, bullied his wife, and desecrated his


    family’s ancestral grave, all


    rolled into one.


    Jordan, upon hearing this, blushed with anger, while Miss Thorp seemed unfazed. She raised her red


    lips and said with a


    smile.


    “Heh, quite interesting.”


    “What did you say?” Justin was taken aback.


    “I said that this Miss Gondor has some appeal.” Chloe added, greedily reaching for a piece of


    chocte.


    Seeing that there wasn’t enough sweets, Jordan couldn’t help but smile indulgently.


    “You’ve only known Shelby for two months, and she has youpletely enthralled. You’ve risked


    everything for her, even challenging the authority of the corporate magnates.”


    “Oh, Miss Gao is truly a role model.”


    “Chloe, you have no right to mock Shelby like this! You’re just a malicious woman who abuses her


    power! If it weren’t for you, Shelby could have lived as a proper heiress of the Gondor family. It’s you


    who ruined her life!”


    Justin shouted, his emotions getting the better of him. “The evil corporate magnates, the scourge of


    society!”


    Jordan didn’t understand why Miss Thorp didn’t immediately send her to the police station. Instead, she


    engaged in a verbal duel with this love-struck madman.


    “Well, I don’t mind if you curse me. After all, you can’t control what others say. My father has survived


    amidst such criticisms, and he has been assassinated more than once just because he is wealthy and


    influential.”


    Chloe’s eyes turned cold as ice. “But you’ve harmed our Thorp family’s business. Don’t me me for


    being ruthless.”


    “I’ve always been like this. Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish. Those who go


    against me and harm my interests never end well.”


    Justin was shaken to the core, overwhelmed once again by the pressure emanating from Miss.


    Miss’s aura was indeed overpowering!


    “I know you want to clear things up, so I might as well tell you. From beginning to end, Shelby never


    loved you. She was with you only because you were affiliated with KS. She wanted to use you.”


    “You’re talking nonsense! Nonsense! You can’t-sow discord between us!”


    Justin was deeply provoked by Chloe, roaring like a wild beast. “It’s my fault alone. I will avenge


    Shelby! You won’t tarnish her name! You won’t defame Shelby!”


    Chloe looked at him coldly and ordered Jordan to turn on the TV.


    On the screen were explicit and scandalous pictures!


    And the protagonists of these scandalous photos were unmistakably Shelby, Justin’s beloved girlfriend,


    and Mr. Mayhew, the CEO of A Headline!


    Jordan was shocked!


    Although he had investigated Shelby before, this information definitely wasn’t part of what he had


    provided to Miss.


    “This isn’t real… It can’t be real! This must be photoshopped! It can’t be real!”


    Justin clutched his head in agony, watching his girlfriend being embraced by a middle-aged man, both


    of them wearing nothing, their smiles so seductive. There was no sign of coercion, and he felt like his


    heart was being torn apart!


    Miss seemedpletelyposed. After all, those explicit photos of Grace were even more


    scandalous than this.


    But Jordan felt ufortable seeing these explicit photos. He turned his gaze away as if he had


    broken his vows like a


    monk.


    “Their hotel records date back a year. If you don’t believe me, I also have their dating videos. Would


    you like to watch?”


    “No!”


    Justin screamed in agony, falling to his knees.


    “Where did you get these?” Jordan asked in a hushed voice, leaning closer to her ear.


    Chloe remained calm. “I’ll tell you


    “Why why would she do this to me…” Tears rolled down Justin’s cheeks, and he felt utterly lost.


    “The information you provided not only allows her to vent her anger, but also offers her substantial


    benefits,” Jordan coldly sneered at him.


    “Benefits?”


    “You were used by Shelby, and behind her, there are people who have bought her loyalty.”


    Chloe tilted her head, supporting her chin with her hand as she smiled. “Otherwise, how do you think


    she found you so quickly and hit the contract’s critical points so urately? Do you believe there was


    no one behind the scenes guiding her actions?”


    Justin broke down in tears, overwhelmed by remorse.


    He wasn’t regretting his ruined future, he was regretting treating Shelby as a treasure despite her being


    a schemer.


    “President Thorp… I will tell you everything I know now.”


    Under Chloe’s relentless pressure, Justin confessed everything about how Shelby had manipted


    him to steal business


    secrets.


    And Jordan, as the secretary, recorded everything on the side.


    Justin was secretly transported to the police station, andter, Jordan, serving as Chloe’s secretary and


    legal advisor for KS. WORLD Hotel, would officially file charges against Justin for corporate espionage.


    The cicada has been caught, and now it’s time to catch the mantis.


    Chloe looked at her perfectly tidy desk, sighing, “Ah, even as a thief, he does it so elegantly. Look at


    how neatly he stacks everything after he’s done. He must’ve put in quite some effort.”


    Jordan: “Miss, you haven’t told me…”


    “Joseph gave it to me.”


    Jordan was astonished, staring at her with an incredulous expression. “Joseph gave it to you?! He and


    our KS arepetitors. Why would he do that?!”


    “Maybe he couldn’t stand having his work taken by Aubree and her daughter, so he wanted me to help


    him deal with Skyler.”


    Chloe suddenly remembered Joseph, who had gently wiped her hair that night. Her heart trembled for


    a moment, and she coldly smirked, “I’d rather believe in ghosts than believe that dog of a man is doing


    this for my benefit.”


    “To avoid exposing his own dark thoughts, he even sent me an anonymous email. He thought I


    wouldn’t recognize him without his disguise.”


    Is she just a hacker princess with an inted reputation?


    “Now that the rotten fish in our team is taken care of, what’s your n for Shelby?” Jordan couldn’t help


    showing a hint of


    worry.


    “Even if we have justin’s confession and no solid evidence, we can’t sue her.” Jordan couldn’t help but


    show some worry. “Who said we’re going to sue her? Thew can punish criminals, but it can’t punish


    b****es.”


    Chloe squinted her eyes, a cold gleam shing in her gaze as she looked at the images of the couple


    on the screen who had been stripped of their disguises. “Send these photos to Mrs. Mayhew, the


    CEO’s wife.”


    “Miss, from what I know, this Mrs. Mayhew is a ck belt in taekwondo.” Jordan’s expression was


    intriguing.


    “Isn’t that perfect for some exercise? She can get some free practice.”


    Chloe’s delicate hand quietly delved into Jordan’s suit pocket, attempting to sneak some choctes.


    “I’ve dealt with her father, so I’ll leave her be. Otherwise, I’ll end up like those tyrannical business


    magnates in those Korean dramas.” Jordan suddenly ced arge hand on top of her pocket, gently


    stopping her mischievous actions. He softly advised, “Don’t eat too much, or you might get a


    toothache.”


    That night, after finishing work, Joseph didn’t immediately return to Maznd Manor. He sat in his


    office, waiting for a message from Max.


    Finally, Max returned with a jubnt look in his eyes.


    “Mr. Sawle! Mrs. Sawle has caught the mole hidden within the organization, and he’s been handed over


    to the police!”


    “Alright.” Joseph responded indifferently, relieved that the tension had lifted.


    “I wonder if you sent what Mrs. Sawle asked you to send.”


    “Even if she doesn’t use it, it’s fine.”


    Joseph thought of the woman who had been ‘causing chaostely. “What I gave her is just icing on the


    cake for her


    “With her abilities, even without the information I provided, she could handle this matter quite well.”


    He had underestimated his ex-wife for so long.


    Thinking back to his former self, he had always regarded Chloe as a dull and uninteresting woman,


    ignorant and only good at cooking.


    Now, he realized not only was he wrong, but he was incredibly foolish.


    A lifelong stain on his history!

    At that moment, the internal phone rang, and Joseph answered it, putting it on speaker. “What is it?”


    “Mr. Sawle, the secretary of KS WORLD Hotel, is here to see you. He didn’t make an appointment.


    Should I send him away?”


    Hearing that Jordan had arrived, Max was furious and retorted.


    “Let him in.” Joseph ordered with a cold tone.


    Meeting the formidable president of the Sawle Group was never an easy task.


    However, because Jordan was working for Chloe, Joseph was willing to make an exception for him.


    A few minutester, Jordan walked into the office with a cold andposed expression.


    “Mr. Sawle, I’m here on behalf of our Miss to deliver something to you.”


    With these words, Jordan ced a pure white box on Joseph’s desk.


    “What’s inside?” Joseph asked, his gaze still fixed on the box, not lifting his eyelids.


    “A bomb.” Jordan replied coldly.


    Joseph’s lips twitched,


    ”


    “Hey, do you think you’re funny?”


    Max, exasperated, retorted, “If it were a bomb, could you have made it through the security check at


    our Sawle Group?!


    Jordan sarcastically remarked, “So, Mr. Sawle, do you have any questions? In any case, it’s not a


    restricted item. Miss sent it to you, just ept it.”


    Max gritted his teeth and silently cursed, “This guy looks decent, but he has a really nasty mouth!””


    Joseph pressed his lips together, his curiosity piqued as he opened the box-


    Inside was indeed not a dangerous item but a cute cream cake shaped like a dog’s head, a bit goofy-


    looking.


    A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips.


    “Did our Miss make this herself?” Hisposed eyes concealed a hint of delight.


    “Heh, Mr. Sawle, how could you even think of such a lovely gesture? This was purchased for you by


    Miss Thorp.”


    Jordan smirked and replied,” Mr. Sawle, do you think you deserve our Miss to cook for you?”


    Joseph was left speechless, and his jawline tightened.


    “Your words are really insincere. Miss Thorp has cooked for our Mr. Sawle before. If he didn’t deserve


    it, she wouldn’t have done it for three years.” Max retorted, clearly exasperated.


    Jordan fixed his gaze on Joseph with a look of contempt. “Miss Lewis can make dog food, but our Miss


    certainly can’t.”


    Maxpletely lost his temper, clenching his fists as he was about to engage in a fight. “You’re out of


    line!”


    “Alright, Max.”


    Joseph halted him and then asked, “Chloe, why did you send me this?”


    “Miss asked me to tell you that she received the items you sent her anonymously, and this is her gift to


    you.”


    Joseph was momentarily surprised.


    She… she knew already? So quickly?


    “She’s sending you this cake to remind you not to underestimate her. She’s extremely clever and has


    capable people by her side. She doesn’t need the assistance of a ‘dog-headed strategist.”


    Having said that, Jordan left the office without any further ado.


    “A dog-headed strategist’? Are you referring to yourself?”


    The secretary, seeing through the situation, couldn’t help but point it out.


    Only when he saw Joseph’s dark, displeased expression did the secretary turn pale, retreating to the


    corner, appearing helpless.
