Chapter 575 Chloe’s Not an Aristocrat or Some Noble
Xavia could not contain her cry of pain as a sharp tearing sensation shot through her scalp. Fear gripped her as she
said in desperation, “If you dare lay a finger on me, I’ll get Duskfall to kill you!”
The next moment, a resounding sound reverberated through the air as a powerful slap struck Xavia’s face. The
strength behind a man’s strike was vastly different from that of a woman’s. While the slap from Chloe the previous
day had been painful, it was within her tolerance levels. However, the force of Noah’s slap left her reeling, her face
throbbing as if her skin had been torn apart.
Xavia’s chest heaved uncontrollably. The intense pain twisted her features and she trembled. with a mixture of
anger and agony.
“You hit me… How dare you!” She seethed with fury, her anger overpowering her as she lunged toward Noah,
ready to strike back.

grasped her hair once more and delivered another forceful slap.
This time, Xavia was rendered completely defenseless. Her cheek rapidly swelled to the size of a pig’s. Noah
released his grip on her, his once gentle demeanor giving way to icy coldness. In a chilling tone, he uttered, “Don’t
even think about bullying Chloe. She’s not the kind of person that a piece of trash like you can lay a finger on.”
Xavia could not fathom why Chloe, an orphan devoid of prominent family background or significant company, was
considered untouchable. She was not an aristocrat or some noble, so what gave her the right to be untouchable?
However, the pain in her face was so intense that it made it difficult for her to even open her mouth.
At three in the afternoon, Joseph arrived at the Reyes residence. Tyson, who was taking at break, stepped out to
welcome him. “You actually made time to visit? Do you need to borrow some documents again?”
“I’m not here to ask for something but rather to give you something.”
Tyson’s eyes widened with curiosity as he asked, “What is it?”
Joseph hesitated, his gaze shifting toward the house. “Is your wife around?”
“She’s in the bedroom. What’s going on? Is something important happening?”
“Yes, it’s something significant.”
Upon hearing this, Tyson sat up straight and quickly responded, “I’ll go get her.”
“Okay.”
Eloise Whitman had just managed to put Ginny to sleep. She followed Tyson downstairs.
Joseph cleared his throat and began, “Grandpa mentioned that you guys desire a second child.”
The couple exchanged glances, and Eloise responded in a worried tone, “Yes, but you’re aware of my health issues
from a few years ago, right? It’s nearly impossible for us to conceive again.
“You’re also aware of Xavia’s pregnancy, correct?”
“We are.” Tyson’s eyes sparkled with a sudden realization. “Are you suggesting we adopt her child?”
“Yes. Would you be willing? There’s no obligation here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We’re more than willing. Though we belong to an extended branch of the Whitman family, and despite my
personal feelings toward Xavia, the child she’s carrying is yours and carries the Whitman blood.” Eloise smiled
faintly and pushed a cup of tea toward Joseph. “Ty and I had been contemplating adoption, but instead of adopting
someone else’s child, it’d be better to raise one from our own family.”
Of course, Eloise had an ulterior motive. She desired Tyson to leave his job as a police officer and get away from
the daily challenges, hardships, and dangers he faced. With her family’s significant assets, she believed it would be
better for him to resign and venture into business. And recognizing Joseph’s influential position in the business
world, she saw him as a powerful figure who could offer support and assistance in difficult times.
Joseph’s thin lips pursed slightly, his handsome face concealed behind an inscrutable veil of darkness. He lapsed
into silence for a few seconds before finally saying, “Then the matter is settled.”
By doing so, even if he could not raise the child, he ensured that they would have a good home.
Tyson detected an air of peculiarity in Joseph’s demeanor and inquired, “Why the sudden change of heart regarding
the child?”
“Chloe’s pregnant, and she doesn’t want Xavia’s child to be a part of our family.”
