Chapter 27 He Had Met Countless Beautiful Women Like Chloe
“Make of it what you will.”
Chloe felt warm inside and muttered softly, “I didn’t expect you to be so kind-hearted despite your usual
stern expression…”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing!”
Joseph glanced at her suspiciously and asked, “Were those two chasing after you your parents?”
“Well, not really.”
Joseph froze for a moment. He had read Chloe’s personal information before and knew that her mother
had passed away, so the two people were probably her father and stepmother. Although it looked like
Chloe was facing some challenges at home, it was difficult for Joseph to make judgments about family
matters and determine what was right or wrong.
The car became quiet. Chloe sat silently like an abandoned little animal, enduring grievances without

didn’t you go to work today?”
“There was a bit of an accident.” She sighed, a bitter smile on her face. “And now, I’ve
lost my job.”
“Is it because of the rumors online?”
“You’ve read that article too?” Chloe sighed again. “Those people have nothing better to do than make
something out of nothing. A clean hand wants no washing. I’d be an idiot if I let those things affect me.”
“Do you really think that way?” Joseph looked at her with newfound appreciation.
“Of course. Do I look like someone who’ll be affected by those baseless claims?” Chloe
asked.
Joseph chuckled quietly. He had met countless beautiful women, many of whom were quite sentimental
and willing to use their looks to take shortcuts, even becoming someone’s mistress just to get ahead.
But Chloe was different. She was diligent, honest, and stood out from the rest. There were very few like
her.

The car slowly arrived at Joseph’s place. He switched off the engine and got out.
Chloe also stepped out of the car, but her sprained ankle made it difficult for her to move smoothly. The
pain on her face aroused a protective instinct within people.
His patience wearing thin, Joseph decided to take matters into his own hands and lifted her up,
carrying her to the second floor.
Chloe tensed up, surprised that he would actually help her. The distance between the two suddenly
became very close-close enough to see his thick eyelashes, perfect jawline, and sexy Adam’s apple…
‘He’s such a fine specimen…’
When Joseph looked down and saw the blush on her cheeks, he sneered. “You didn’t even blush when
you tried to pick me up at the bar, and now you’re all shy?”
Chloe was speechless. ‘How could he be so rude?”

says and one does.”
“You have a point,” he agreed. xo.com fast update
Joseph put her on the bed. “Get some rest. We have to go to my family’s house to meet my elders
tomorrow, so don’t oversleep.”
“I’m injured, and you still want me to go with you?” Chloe was stunned.
“You didn’t fracture your leg, so it won’t affect anything. Even if you did, I’ll just buy you a wheelchair,”
Joseph said casually, stunning Chloe even further.
“Did you find me tonight just so I can accompany you in dealing with your family tomorrow?”
Joseph nodded and stood with his hands in his pockets, looking cool and indifferent. Though he was a
little worried about her, he did not feel the need to tell her that.
Chloe felt a little embarrassed. She had been touched by his concern earlier, but now it seemed as
though she had been way over her head.
It had been a long day for Chloe. After she had applied some ointment on her ankle, she fell asleep as

Joseph was the one who woke her up, his voice drifting in coolly through the door. “Are you waiting for
me to come in and dress you
