Chloe’s fists clenched tightly, her eyes bloodshot with a burning rage. Hatred consumed her as she
uttered the words, “Yes, let Benjamin suffer the consequences!”
She wanted Benjamin to endure the same despair her mother had experienced before her untimely
death.
Lucas looked at Wren and asked, “Sir, how should we handle her?”
“Send her back. We may need her as a witness at a crucial moment.”
Chloe felt a heaviness in her heart, but to her surprise, Joseph canceled his morning meetings and
devoted the entire day to being by her side. She clung to his waist affectionately, crying and finding
solace in his presence until exhaustion overcame her. She unknowingly drifted off to sleep, tears
staining her cheeks.
When she woke up, it was already 2 in the afternoon. Her mood had calmed down considerably. Jojo,
I’m sorry for disrupting your work this morning.”
Joseph interlocked his fingers, leaning back in a relaxed demeanor. “Feeling better now?” Chloe wiped
away the remnants of her tears. Her gaze was determined and resolute. “Yes, I’m going to head back
to Marketing. See you tonight.”

Lucas prepared a cup of coffee for Joseph and brought it inside. Just as he was about to leave, his
phone started beeping. Without thinking, he instinctively reached for his phone to check the notification.
Half of Joseph’s daily trivial matters were handled by Lucas, including tasks related to the homeowners’
group. The notification was from the property manager who had suddenly tagged him and later sent a
photo accompanied by a mischievous emoji.
[Mr. Joseph, may we print this photo for community promotion? Of course, we’d be happy to provide
you with the image rights compensation. I accidentally came across it while reviewing the surveillance
footage yesterday. The image of you and your wife standing together is sol beautiful as if you were
destined for each other.]
The photo captured Chloe and Icarus, looking very happy together and two Border Collies obediently
by their side. It perfectly depicted the ideal life that most people had in mind-lovers, pets, sunset, and a
wonderful atmosphere.
Other homeowners began commenting.
[Both of them have such high levels of attractiveness. Can having a dog enhance marital relationships?
I want one too]

here.]
[I saw this couple passing by yesterday. The dogs misbehaved, and the fxo.com fast updateemale
owner smacked their butts. Hahaha]
Lucas’ hand holding the phone trembled. It was true that Ms. Chloe was the female owner, but Icarus
was not the male owner.
Joseph lifted the cup of coffee and took a sip, glancing at the stunned Lucas who was just standing
there. “Anything else?”
Trembling, Lucas stammered, “There might be something else…”
“What do you mean ‘might be?” Joseph’s tone turned to one of displeasure. “Be efficient in your work.”
“Yes, sir.”
Joseph pinched his brow, his voice turning icy. “Is there something or isn’t there?”
Lucas did not dare to beat around the bush and handed the phone to Joseph, placing it in front of his
eyes. “Sir, please take a look. Can we agree to use it for promotion?”
Joseph lowered his gaze, his eyes gradually turning cold as they fell on the photo. With a loud
bang, the phone shattered into pieces. The screen was completely ruined.
Lucas dared not speak. He simply thought, ‘Sir, that’s my phone!”
Joseph’s voice was chillingly sharp “Summon Chloe here now
