and her countenance twisted with anguish, evoking a heart-wrenching sight.

in her mind. In a confident tone, she exclaimed, “I saw this woman with another man, and I wanted to
help you catch them in the act. You shouldn’t trust her.”
Joseph remained silent the whole time. When he heard Jane’s words, he narrowed his eyes slightly
and locked his gaze on Jake, seemingly scrutinizing him.
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat, anxiety coursing through her veins. “We simply ran into each other,” she
explained.
“Why is he protecting you then?” Jane pressed on. “I overheard your conversation outside. It’s clear
that you two know each other.”
Chloe was left tongue-tied. ‘Of course, we know each other. He’s my ex-boyfriend!”

with annoyance and said, “You’re so nosy.”
Jane was stunned. “I was helping you!”
“I don’t need your help,” he responded curtly.
Joseph had nearly believed Jane’s words. However, the man standing before him exhibited at weary
and dejected countenance as if he had recently endured a significant setback in life. The only
redeeming quality about him was his moderately appealing appearance.
But that did not concern him, as he himself was far more handsome than Jake. Despite Chloe’s
occasional foolishness, she had good taste in men.
Chloe patted her chest in relief, released a pent-up breath, and made a face at Jane.
‘Hah! Serves you right!’
“Joseph, is there something wrong with your eyes? It’s clear that something is fishy going on between

“I trust Chloe. Your focus should be on how to apologize to her to satisfy me,” Joseph responded

‘He can be good sometimes…’
Jane was consumed with so much rage that she felt she might have a heart attack.

she threatened.
All the women Harold previously selected for Joseph were esteemed ladies. Jane was certain that
Harold was dissatisfied with Chloe, which was why there had been no wedding ceremony despite
Joseph and Chloe being married.
Chloe could not help but smile disdainfully. “We don’t have time to entertain your tantrums.”
Although Chloe did not know if Harold would believe Jane, she was certain he would not take
