Chapter 160 Kneel

“That’s because I like you!” Jane exclaimed, her gaze fixated on their intertwined hands, her eyes ablaze with fury “If I didn’t like you, why would I go out of my way to help you?”

Chloe sighed and rubbed her temples, feeling a sense of disbelief. The silver lining in all of this was that her connection with Joseph was solely contractual If they were a genuine couple, even individuals with the most composed and patient temperaments would find themselves tested by such relentless provocation. It would not be surprising if they ended up engaged in at heated argument with Jane.

“I understand your feelings for Joseph, and he should be happy about it. However, the reality is that he’s already married You don’t have to hold on to him. There are plenty of other men in the world, and I’m confident that you can find someone who is truly compatible with you.”

“But she cheated on Joseph. How can you let her off the hook just like that, Grandpa?”

Chloe frowned, taking a few steps forward. “That’s enough, Jane I haven’t even asked for your apology, yet you keep slandering me in front of Grandpa Show some restraint.”

“You-”

“I really like Chloe, and I firmly believe that she isn’t that kind of person. Most importantly, our family matters are none of your concern,” Harold interjected, his face devoid of emotion.

Blinded by anger, Jane remained oblivious to the change in his demeanor and persisted, Grandpa, I have no intention of causing strife. My only concern is for the well-being of your family and for your happiness. I’m genuinely worried that this woman might deceive you.

‘What kind of medicine has this wretched woman fed them? Why are they defending her?”

“That being said, this is a family matter, and I’m well aware of what needs to be done,” Harold stated firmly, his voice carrying a tone of authority and his gaze piercing. “As for you, you’re an outsider, and it’s not your place to interfere in our affairs.”
