Chapter 90 Challenging the Unchallengeable
Samuel was completely taken aback.
The Joseph he knew had no interest in women, let alone stepping forward in public and acting as a
hero to save a damsel in distress. So why would he take the initiative to help this girl?
‘Hold on a moment! He didn’t just rescue her. He also admitted to being the young, handsome, and
wealthy man this girl was talking about! It’s absurd how he’s willing to sacrifice his pride just to save
her. That’s some extreme level of narcissism.
‘But hang on… Something’s not quite right here. Is this girl Chloe?’
Samuel’s suspicions were confirmed as he observed Joseph and Chloe.
Chloe and Adam turned their heads simultaneously. The man before them was clad in an expensive
black suit. He was tall and slim with eyebrows that curved like crescents. The high position of his nose
bridge and tightly pursed lips gave him a distant, almost unapproachable air. His deep-set eyes were
dark and emotionless, yet his gaze was icy and cold as he stared at Adam.
The latter trembled visibly. His haughty demeanor disappeared the moment he saw the

“M-Mr. Joseph, what brings you here?” he stammered.
Chloe was slightly taken aback. “You know him?”
Before Adam could answer, Alexander, the CEO of Patterson, emerged from the building and pushed
him aside to warmly welcome Joseph.
Joseph gave a slight nod in acknowledgment, but his gaze remained fixed on Adam. It seemed to him
that Adam had a lot of nerves to flirt with his woman when he was barely out of diapers.
“Mr. Samuel? What brought you here today too?” Alexander was surprised to see Samuel.
“I had some time today, so I came to discuss the case with you,” Samuel answered with
a smile.
Remembering the legal troubles his company had been facing lately, Alexander said, ” Oh, in that case,
I won’t be of much help. I’ll have our legal department come out and talk to you.”
Despite having spent a considerable amount of money on multiple lawyers to resolve the issue, none
had been able to come up with a solution. Alexander was left with no choice but to turn to Samuel,
even though he knew Samuel’s services came with a high price tag.
As he spoke, his secretary gestured for Samuel to follow her into the building.
Turning to Joseph, Alexander said, “Mr. Joseph, shall we go in as well?”
Joseph did not immediately respond, slowly retracting his gaze while replying noncommittally, “Okay.”
Alexander observed this subtle movement and threw Adam a glance, wondering how his son managed
to get on Joseph’s bad side.
As Joseph walked past her, Chloe furrowed her brows, a hint of suspicion crossing her
face.
‘Could he really be doing business on such a large scale? He even has business with Patterson. But
how is this possible? If memory serves me right, Jake’s uncle isn’t that
influential at all.’
“I want to have chicken cordon bleu tonight,” Joseph said, stopping next to Chloe.
Chloe had been cooking for him for so long that she instinctively agreed, “Okay, I’ll go to the market
after work to buy some ingredients.”

“Oh gosh, I forgot that my department is having a dinner party tonight. You’ll have to take care of dinner
yourself.”
Joseph’s eyebrows knitted ever so slightly but did not say anything.
In the meantime, Alexander perceived the bond between the two and a realization struck him. He cast
a disapproving glare at Adam, admonishing him for daring to provoke someone as influential as
Joseph, all the while lamenting his misfortune for having an inept son.
With a heavy heart, Adam hung his head low. He never expected Chloe to have ties to someone as
prominent as Joseph. He did not know why his father was blaming him. xo.com fast update
After they had walked into the building, Lily snapped herself out of her trance and asked excitedly, “Ms.
Chloe, is that your boyfriend?”
“Nope,” Chloe replied.
“But you’re married!”
“Umm… Our relationship isn’t like what you think, Lily.”
Lily did not believe her and continued, “If you’re not in that kind of relationship, then what kind of
relationship is it? Why else would you cook for him? You two must be
living together. You’re just too embarrassed to admit it, right
