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 nonchalantly, "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 pesterafter Grandpa has woken up?"
"That's why she has been getting close to Kenneth."
Not wasting too many words, Chloe played for Joseph a recording taken at Dawnstar. In it, Xavia's tone shifted
from furious roaring to desperate begging. The whole ordeal lasted no more than ten minutes, but the extent of

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 glanced at the two bodyguards beside him. "But Duskfall and Xavia probably
don't know about your relationship 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 they lacked 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 flashed through Chloe's eyes. She adjusted her collar and said, "I suggest you think
before you act. Go hand 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

"S-Sir, | didn't know that Chloe and Callum were acquainted."
Cyrus' face was cold as he gripped the whip tightly. "According to my investigation, Callum's men have been
secretly protecting Chloe for several days. You didn't notice anything?"
"N-No... | didn't know. If | had, | would have informed you immediately."
"You useless piece of trash! Chloe snatched away what was supposed to be yours, and now she has a
relationship 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 blade. His usual calm temperament was now replaced 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
relationships 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.
