Chapter 774 He Could Better Protect Her Now
Joseph leaned back into the seat, leisurely controlling the steering wheel. But his grip tightened when he heard
Chloe's words and snorted. "I look forward to the day that you find out the truth."
"What else do you know?"
"A little. Vanya toldsother things when she was conscious."
Her heart skipped a beat. "Did she tell you anything about our child?"
"No." Joseph paused. He stepped on the brakes before turning toward her. "The child is gone."
"No, they're still alive." Chloe becagitated and stubborn.
"Did you hear something from somewhere?"
Chloe was stunned. "No, it's just a gut feeling."
Joseph stared at her with an unfathomable gaze. He stopped asking for fear of giving her a harsh blow. He then

"Could | meet your mother sometime?" Chloe said out of the blue as she grabbed her seatbelt.
Joseph's eyes narrowed. When he stopped at the red light of the next intersection, he said, "Okay, let's meet her
this weekend. She's busy with work during the weekdays."
"Okay." Chloe looked straight ahead and tried to remain calm. "I'll let you decide on the tand place." When
they were almost at the Sullivan manor, she questioned, "Why aren’t you askingwhy | want to meet your
mother?"
Judging by how fast he had agreed, was he already suspecting something?
"You can meet her if you want to. | trust no one else but you."
His words silently tortured Chloe.
"Bye." Barely able to bear the guilt, she opened the car door and dashed off.

Joseph watched her away while tapping on the steering wheel rhythmically. ‘What are you hiding from me,
Chloe?"
Instead of returning to the Whitman family home, he called up Imperium’s investigation team. "Look into who
Chloe has cinto contact with recently."
Now that Imperium had gotten stronger, he could better protect her.

Chloe expected Noah and Desmond to question why she was hso late, but they happened to be attending a
gathering themselves.
Noah was housing Vanya in a three-floor independent wing in the innermost part of the estate. Vanya occupied
the top floor while the servants occupied the second. Zoelle, who occasionally tended to Vanya, would stay on
the first floor, but she had not cby today.
When Chloe stepped out of the bath, Noah had yet to chome. While toweling her hair, she stared at the spy
camera on her table. After applying a face mask, she called one of the house helpers over. "Is Noah hyet?"
"Not, miss."
"Okay, you may go now."
After the helper left, Chloe picked up the camera and went to the wing. She would have fully trusted Noah if
Michael had not told her otherwise.

The next day, Zoelle dressed to the nines and went to Fairlight. One glance at the charming Zoelle and the
receptionist assumed Zoelle was well-acquainted with Joseph, so they quickly informed Lucas of Zoelle’s arrival.
Lucas had put the call on speaker. He looked at Joseph, who kept his eyes on his work, and asked, "What do you
think, sir?"
"Let her cup."
Lucas was surprised. "Okay."
Zoelle had exhausted a great tdressing up today. After all, to win the favor of a man as exceptional as
Joseph, she had to put in the work.
"Sir, Ms. Zoelle is here.”
"Okay, you can go back to your work," Joseph instructed without even looking up.
Lucas frowned deeply and gave Zoelle a sidelong glance. She was indeed charming, but Joseph was not a man
who judged a book by its cover.
Zoelle knew what Lucas' gaze implied. She covered her mouth with a red-manicured hand and said charmingly,
"Why are you staring at me? Did you think your boss was a gentleman who abstains from women? Did he let you
down?"
