Chloe shrugged, neither confirming nor denying his assumption.
After approximately three minutes, the sound of the elevator’s “ding” resonated from outside. Chloe swiftly slipped
into the restroom, leaving the door slightly ajar to discreetly observe the unfolding scene. Joseph let out a sigh,

were under his control. This plan had been meticulously laid out for over a year, making it difficult to trace back.
“Joe, let’s leave the past behind us,” Xavia declared, rising from her seat and approaching him with a tender, loving
