Chapter 202
“This time, it’s not the midnight killing bell. It’s the midnight killing surprise.” Oscar drank a mouthful of red wine and made a small joke.
After all, he and Riley were accompanying his sister tonight, so he thought Joseph did not dare to be rash.
Otherwise, the sharp knife in his cross was not to be trifled with. At that time, even Jesus could not save him.
“Joseph actually dared to come to the door? Motherf*cker… F*ck him!” Riley cursed, his eyes never leaving the screen as he typed with his hands.
“What? What do you want to do to him? A keyboard?”
Chloe shook her head and got up with a depressed expression. “I was the one who summoned the ghost. It should be me who sent the ghost away. I’ll go down and take a look.”
She came to the entrance alone and opened the communicator.
On the screen, Joseph’s handsome face instantly appeared, with a hint of coldness.
“What are you doing here?”
Chloe’s eyes were calm, as if she did not know him, “Medo has no other attractions? Why do you have to come to my house for a walk?”
“Chloe, come out for a moment. Let’s talk.” Joseph ignored her mockery and said in a deep voice.
“You can’t talk about it like this? Is it because I can’t see your face, or is it because I can’t hear your voice?”
The man’s throat tightened and he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
The woman in front of him was really cold and ruthless.
Chloe, stop messing around. Come out, I have something to tell you.”
“Mess around? Which eye of yours saw me messing with you? I was clearly very serious about chasing you away. Can’t you tell?” Chloe could not help but sneer.
“Come out, I want to see you.”
Joseph’s starry eyes flickered in a daze. His voice was hoarse as if he had endured too many complicated emotions. He could not bear it any longer and finally revealed it. It was as if all his pride and dignity had been blocked.
I want to see you.
Chloe’s heart shrank violently. All the blood in her body flowed backwards, and she pursed her lips and took a step back.
After a while, she took a deep breath and chuckled.
If it was in the past, she would probably be so excited that she would cry tears of joy when she heard what Joseph said. She was willing to do anything for this sentence.
But now, this desire came too late. If the expired relationship was entangled, it would only make her be cheaper.
“Joseph, the world of adults is very cruel. It is not that you can have whatever you want. It is not that you can do whatever
you want.”
Chloe tilted her head, and her teasing smile made his heart feel cold. “You spent three years teaching me this.”
“Chloe…” Joseph choked, and all the nerves in his body spasmed.
“It shouldn’t rain tonight.”
Chloe looked up at the Moon and said in a cold tone, “Joseph, the last time I went out to see you, I was afraid you would be struck to death by lightning. This time you want me to go out to see you, unless there is raining knife in the sky. You can go.”
Di-
The comms call was closed and it fell into a heartless darkness.
Joseph stood outside the door with blank eyes. His whole body was wrapped in the breath of late autumn bleak air, and the cold invaded his tall and straight body.
Chloe walked back upstairs with heavy steps.
She didn’t understand. The man who used to ignore her, how could he have the nerve to come over and say that he wanted to see her? He was too shameless.
What else was there to say? In three years, he once had three years to tell her everything he knew, but he chose to ignore her
in the big villa.
She had already wasted three years and would no longer waste her time on this man.
When Chloe entered the study, Jordan hurriedly asked with concern, “How is it, Young Mistress? Did Joseph make things difficult for you?”
“Hmph, he dares.”
Chloe walked behind Oscar, bent down and wrapped her arms tightly around her big brother’s neck, acting like a spoiled child.
“What about you? Did you make things difficult for Joseph?” Oscar asked with a smile.
“Oh… I didn’t either.”
“What a pity.”
Oscar gently raised his hand to touch her cheek and teased, “I am here tonight. What a good opportunity. You should beat him up to vent your anger.”
Chloe was speechless. “Big brother, your kindness is in my heart, but devout believers should solve the problem in peace.”
“Chloe! I’ve finally found out! Hurry up and open a bottle of red wine to reward me! I want the most expensive one!” Riley was so excited that he raised his hands high and shouted.
“Jordan, go to the wine cellar later and reward my second brother with the best bottle of red wine.”
The dark clouds in Chloe’s eyes dispersed. She hurriedly walked to Riley’s side and placed her left hand on his shoulder. Her right arm supported the table as she stared at the screen. “Who is the person who provides the manuscript?”
“This is her main account!”
Riley pointed to the screen. “She is a social media reporter on the A Headline. Her name is Shelby Gondor! The IP address of that small account is exactly the same as this one!”
“Well done, Second Brother. Although you are a little slow.” Chloe raised her eyebrows and smiled.

“This time, it was fast! I say, why didn’t you call Sami to do it? He is the most professional in this kind of work. You have to find the professional person to solve this problem!”
“A few days ago, I contacted Fourth Brother. He has been on an important mission recently. I dare not disturb him.”
“Chloe, I remember that your hacking level is also very high, no less than Fourth Brother. You may have found out yesterday if you did it.” Oscar also did not understand.
Chloe yawned. “I’m lazy.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Riley: “…”
So he was the fool!
Chloe carefully browsed through this twitter account and sneered, “Ah, what a righteous reporter.”
It was just that if she did not expose her cat and dog fight but suddenly revealed the layout of my hotel wedding, it would be a bit of a busybody.
“Chloe, do you mean that this reporter was ordered by someone?” Oscar asked with a frown.
“It wasn’t someone who ordered it, but took money to help people get rid of the disaster. This was because media reporters all had their own stands. She was a social media reporter, so logically speaking, she wouldn’t touch the entertainment circle.”
Chloe stared at the name Shelby and muttered to herself, “Shelby Gondor… Shelby Gondor… Why do I feel like I’ve seen this name before?”
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and shouted, “I know who she is? She is Michal Gondor’s daughter!”
“Who is Michal Gondor?” Riley asked foolishly.
“The former deputy manager who was fired by you and sent to prison by you?” Oscar raised his eyebrows with interest.
“Yes! It’s his daughter!”
Chloe had excellent memory. She had seen Michal’s information before, so she immediately realized Shelby’s identity. “If she exposed it, then I can understand it.”
“I can also understand. You caused the downfall of her father and his reputation to be in prison. She didn’t even be on the social news. That means that she has showed mercy.” Riley nodded with a serious face.
“He took bribes. I didn’t send him to jail, then should I keep him in my company?”
Chloe raised her chin arrogantly, “The one who did something wrong was Michal, not me. If she was a filial daughter, she should visit her father more often, instead of trying to take revenge on me in order to comfort her heart.”
“Her father made a mistake, why should I pay for it? Ridiculous.”
“Young Mistress, I checked the surveillance before. Except for the people in our team taking turns to supervise the scene, the workers handed in their mobile phones when they worked. There is no
possibility of any outsiders approaching the wedding
scene.”
“So, I can be sure that there is someone in the team who is working with this woman.”
Chloe saw that this Shelby had a good look. Thus she had a guess. “Jordan, from now on, keep an eye on everyone in the team, especially men, and secretly monitor them 24 hours a day!
“If anyone has any private contact with Shelby, report to me at any time.”
“Little sister, why are they men?” Riley asked curiously.
“Because men are all greasy carbon-based creatures who can’t control their lower bodies!” Chloe sneered. The failed marriage made her have a lot of prejudice against men.
“I am an exception,” Oscar said.
“I am also an exception!” Riley said.
Jordan quickly raised his hand and surrendered. “+1!”
“I know that all of you are good men. You don’t have to be in such a hurry to confess to yourself.”
“No matter what, you are still better than the one standing at the door, right?” Chloe stretched her arms like a slim kitten.
It was too late for the investigation, so Oscar and Riley stayed in the guest room that Jordan had arranged for them.
Chloe was too tired these two days, so she went back to take a shower and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, a purple thunder tore through the night sky and woke up the sleeping Chloe.
She wasn’t easy to wake up from asleep, but she didn’t know why she would be woken up by the thunder tonight.
Then, she was completely awake.
Chloe got up, put on a silk nightgown outside the silk red nightgown, put on the red velvet slippers, and went out to get some water to drink.
Outside the window, the wind and rain were gloomy, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
Chloe stood by the window of the corridor with warm water in her hands.
When she was a child, she remembered that her mother would hold her in her arms and sit on the rocking chair in front of the window every time it rained. She looked at the window that was wet by the heavy rain in a daze and murmured like she was dreaming,
“The night when mother left there was also like this.”
Where the night?
Suddenly, another bolt of lightning exploded in the night!
Using the fleeting lightning, Chloe was stunned to see it.
Outside the window, at the entrance of the villa.
Joseph raised his head and looked in the direction of the window in her room. He was standing straight in the wind and rain, standing like a mountain, messy in the wind.
