“Why are you looking at me like that?” Chloe asked, unable to comprehend his

gaze.

“I believe I’ve warned you more than once to stay away from men of questionable character,” Joseph

said.

“He’s my friend,” Chloe retorted, feeling a bit displeased.

“You’re not just an individual anymore. You’re my wife, and you represent not only yourself but also the

Whitmans and Fairlight,” Joseph said sternly.

Chloe felt a shiver run down her spine. She lowered her head and weakly responded, “You now

acknowledge me as the Whitmans’ daughter-in-law? Why didn’t you tell me that before? Were you

afraid I was after your family’s wealth?”

“Have I ever hidden anything from you or deliberately kept you uninformed?” Joseph replied with

displeasure.

‘It was your own stupidity for not realizing it.’

“Well… You didn’t…”

Joseph snorted with an air of arrogance and said, “Act within your capabilities, and don’t go overboard.

Can you find a better place than Fairlight?”

‘Can you find a man better than me?”

Chloe was completely at a loss. She could not help but recall what Emily had said, which made her feel

worried. Before, she had tried to please Joseph because she believed he was Jake’s. uncle, but now

he had become her provider.

‘Goodness. Am I destined to be unable to leave him?”

“The contract clearly outlines the terms in explicit detail. We’re all adults, and there’s no need for further

explanation. I’ll consider today as an unauthorized absence, and the penalty for such absences is three

times the basic salary.”

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. “That’s a lot!”

“You brought it upon yourself.” He sneered.

After hesitating for a moment, Chloe cautiously asked, “Well, I’m just asking, but is it possible for us to

terminate the contract now?”

Joseph’s face sank and his eyes narrowed. Rising to his feet, he took a step closer to Chloe and

demanded, “Say that again?”

He had been very patient with her, yet she did not appreciate it. Everything had its limit, including his

patience.

In a split second, Chloe felt her back forcefully pressed against the chilling wall, leaving her with no

room for escape. She gazed at the man standing just inches away from her. His gaze was sharp, and

his handsome face remained devoid of any expression.

Her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

She really did not want to owe him any favors. Nervously, she stammered, “Can we terminate.

Before she could finish her sentence, Joseph pinned her against the wall. Startled, she looked at the

man before her and said, “Don’t get angry, I was just joking. I was just trying to lighten the atmosphere!”

With his imposing figure, Joseph loomed over her and cast his gaze

“Are you playing hard to get?”

downward.

“Huh?” Chloe paused, awkwardly touching her nose. “You caught me. Well, it seems like I’ll never win

your heart in this lifetime.”

She felt rather embarrassed after uttering those words. However, her immediate concern was to pacify

Joseph. His reaction had made it clear that she could not bring up the topic of

contract termination again.

Dealing with an enraged Joseph was simply too frightening!

A mixed expression flashed across Joseph’s handsome features as he met her clear gaze. He knew all

too well about her little tricks, yet he still fell for it.

‘D*mn it!’ he chided inwardly.

“Stop deluding yourself into challenging me in the future,” Joseph tossed out this remark before

releasing her.

Chloe sighed and nodded in resignation, accepting her fate. “I understand.”

For now, she would just focus on surviving and rolling with the punches. After all, she had tried to warn

him, and if things got exposed later on, she could not be solely blamed for it.

It was he who refused to let her leave!

Joseph glanced at Chloe’s melancholic expression and felt a tinge of displeasure in his heart.

‘Am I really making her suffer by insisting on her working at Fairlight? Or is it because of the man she

was talking to on the phone just now?’

At the thought, a wave of anger surged within Joseph.

‘I’m losing my mind, and it’s all this dumbo’s fault.

‘No, I can’t let that happen. No one should have the power to influence my emotions.”

Taking a deep breath, he composed himself and coldly said, “You don’t have to report to the marketing

department tomorrow.”
