Chapter 537 Renovation for the Matrimonial Home
The CEO’s office had seen various occupants over time. First Harold, then Joseph’s father, and now Joseph himself
held the position.
Preston had never been given the opportunity to sit in that coveted seat.
Although Joseph had taken over Fairlight, he seldom came to the office. Despite this, Harold still trusted him enough
not to pass on the CEO title to Preston.
Being told that he lacked the necessary abilities was tolerable for Preston. He had never been. overly ambitious.
Remaining within the Whitman Group and having a voice on the board of directors had been enough for him.
Yet, Joseph did not appreciate it. Preston gave an inch, yet Joseph wanted a mile. After expelling Jonathan, Joseph
proceeded to strip him of his board position..
It was clear that Joseph intended to bring ruin to the family, and Preston knew he had to take
action.
He knew that the CEO’s office had a double-layered password, but he was not sure if Joseph had changed it or not.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a try-and-see attitude, he entered the password.
With a click, the door opened.
Preston peered into the office. It was pitch black inside, impossible to see what lay ahead. It felt like sinister ghosts
lurked within, and once he stepped in, there would be no escape.
In spite of his apprehension, he pressed on, believing in the principle of “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.”
He blamed Joseph for the troubles he faced, and he was not going to let Joseph enjoy an easy life while causing him
misery.
Preston knew the password to the safe. Harold had told him after Joseph’s father passed, asking him to temporarily
take over the Whitman Group. He smoothly obtained the
documents from the safe. They contained various confidential data such as the chip project. that would be
announced at the end of the year.
He felt triumphant, never expecting Joseph to be so careless. He quickly copied the data onto a USB drive. While he
could not take the chip with him or print it out, he took away the development team’s data.
When he finally left, he sent a text to Otto.
“I got it.”
Early the next morning, the chief secretary of the Whitman Group discovered signs of
computer usage in the CEO’s office and felt a sense of unease. He promptly informed Joseph about it.
Joseph’s face sank as he responded calmly, “Go to the security room and check the surveillance footage. Find out
who did it, report it to the police, and have them arrested.”
The chief secretary hesitated and asked, “Mr. Joseph, won’t you come over personally?”
After all, the situation was critical. The new project was about to be launched, and if the chip’s information was
leaked prematurely, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With a composed demeanor, Joseph replied, “I’ll leave the matter in your hands.”
Joseph’s attitude remained aloof. He did not ask any further questions and ended the call decisively.
The chief secretary muttered to himself while looking at the phone, “It’s over. Mr. Joseph is giving up on the
Whitman Group…”
It seemed to him that Joseph was giving up on the Whitman Group. In other words, he would lose his job soon.
When Chloe woke up, she sat up, rubbed her eyes, and gazed at Joseph. He was dressed in navy blue pajamas, his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhair was wet as he had just come out of the bathroom.
He bent down and planted a kiss on her forehead. The refreshing scent of mint wafted over, making Chloe feel
revitalized.
“Did you sleep well?” he asked.
“Yeah, who were you talking to on the phone?” she asked, vaguely catching words like “police ” and “arrest.”
“An employee of the Whitman Group,” he replied casually, “Go wash up. I bought a villa near your office. Let’s go
take a look later.”
Chloe blinked. “You’ve already bought it?”
In the past, she would have felt embarrassed about him spending money on her, but things had changed. If she did
not spend his money, the Whitmans would probably suck him dry like
a bunch of leeches.
“Yes, and we’re starting the renovation on our matrimonial home this month. It should be completed by month’s
end. We’ll leave it empty for two months for the smell to dissipate,” Joseph said as he gently twirled her hair with his
fingers, “If you have any preferences or ideas. for the style of the house, just let me know.”
“A matrimonial home?!”
