Chapter 409 As Long as Joe Is Happy, I’m Content
Xavia felt her heart race, anxiety bubbling within her. “Are you sure this plan will succeed? What if it’s discovered?”
“It has to work. It’s your only viable option. As per our initial plan, you need to find a way to terminate the
pregnancy within three months. Do you think it’s still viable now?”
“Terminate the pregnancy?’ Xavia’s mind recoiled at the thought. She vigorously shook her head, realizing that if
she followed through with that plan, she would lose her reason to remain by Joseph’s side, and things often do not
go as smoothly as anticipated.
Vanya smiled sarcastically. “Well, the boss has done his part for you and paved the way for you. You’re fully aware
of the consequences if you fail.”
“I’ll do my best to meet the boss’s expectations and not disappoint him. But what if Chloe reveals to Joseph that
she’s also pregnant?”
“It doesn’t matter. Just make sure to publicly announce that you’re carrying Joseph’s child. Let everyone assume it
as a fact. The rest will naturally fall into place.”
Xavia nodded in agreement, confident in her ability to captivate and control the men she pursued. However, she
acknowledged that Joseph and Gabriel stood on different levels. She did not need Vanya to explain the boundaries
of her actions. She knew exactly what to do next.
Today marked the official beginning of autumn. As Chloe strolled down the street, she marveled at the vibrant
yellow leaves adorning the trees. A sudden gust of cool wind swept past her as she pulled up her collar and walked
briskly into the Reese family-owned conglomerate firm.

task at hand was even more challenging and demanding than Fairlight’s requirements but Chloe was not one to
back down. No matter how difficult it seemed, she was
determined to give it her best shot.
After spending ten minutes conversing, Mr. Hugo, Nathan’s father, abruptly excused himself to attend to other
pressing matters. Left alone, Nathan and Chloe delved into the specifics of the project. She listened intently, her
focus unwavering, as she meticulously jotted down
in her notebook.

Nathan sighed and could not help but admire the captivating allure of an independent woman. His admiration was
genuine, devoid of any hidden motives.
As their meeting concluded, Nathan glanced at the clock and prompted her, “Joe is waiting for you downstairs. If
you have any questions, feel free to text me.”
Chloe was surprised. “Why is he here?”
“Must be something important,” Nathan chuckled and playfully rubbed his nose. “Go ask him.”
“Okay.”
She packed her notebook into her bag and went downstairs, where she saw Joseph waiting in a sleek black
convertible Maybach. From afar, he exuded an air of sophistication, his tailored suit

accentuating his commanding presence. His gaze was lowered, carrying a hint of icy allure that surpassed mere
handsomeness. He seemed like an unattainable deity, his looks possessing a lethal charm. Every time she laid eyes
upon his face, it never failed to enchant her.
Chloe tenderly caressed her belly, hoping that the baby inside would be a boy that would inherit his father’s good
looks. If he grew up and failed to excel in other aspects, his appearance alone could pave his way in life. As for a
girl, she knew she would have to rely on her own talents, just
like Chloe herself.
She sat inside the car, fastening her seatbelt, and asked, “Are you here for business as well?”
“No, just catching up.”
“With Mr. Hugo?”
“Yeah.”
Chloe’s face wore a peculiar expression. “You’re catching up with Nathan’s father… Why do I suddenly feel like
Nathan is of lower status compared to you?”
“If Nathan is willing, I don’t mind.”
“Where are we going?”
“To catch a movie. There’s a new one that just came out.”
Chloe was taken aback. “You’re taking me to watch a movie?”
‘Did the sun rise from the west?’ Chloe thought to herself. ‘In the past, whenever I wanted to go to,
the movies, he needed Grandpa to push him to seize the opportunity. Is Grandpa urging him.
again?’
Joseph’s eyes darkened. “What’s with that look? Am I treating you poorly?”

“No, you’re not,” Chloe responded, “But you rarely accompany me on these small romantic gestures. You said they
were a waste of time, like absorbing garbage, and that watching a movie was not as beneficial as reading financial
news.”
Joseph glanced ahead, his expression indulgent and lazy. “If it’s something you like, I’ll make
time to accompany you.
Chloe felt warmth spread through her chest and grinned, her almond-shaped eyes forming crescents. She adopted
a slightly bossy tone, “Well, not bad. Keep up the good work.”
Lucas was the one who booked the movie tickets. But because there were very few bookings for the VIP couple
rooms, the cinema stopped selling those tickets. As a result, he had booked tickets for the regular hall instead.
Chloe did not mind, and Joseph did not care either. Joseph felt a tap on his shoulder as they settled into their seats.
He turned his head and in the dim light, he saw Natalie’s cheerful face. She spoke in a jolly tone, “Joe, have you two
made up?”
“Nope,” Chloe responded first, smiling playfully. “You still have a chance to pursue him.”
“I’m glad to see that you’re both on good terms now
In comparison to Xavia, Natalie was more accepting of Chloe. While Chloe may not have had the same privileged
family background and features as her, at least Chloe lacked any scheming traits.
“You’ve moved on from Joe so quickly?” Chloe found this young girl quite interesting and could not resist the
temptation to tease her.
