“Why are you calling me uncle?” he asked.
“It’s because you’re Jake’s uncle.”
“Why does Chloe want to be with the uncle?”
“You silly! She wants to take revenge on that scumbag Jake, of course!”

“Ms. Chloe, Mr. Joseph learned of your purpose in approaching him.”
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. Her mind went blank and her lips trembled. “How did it happen?”
“It was because of your friend.”
