Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 178 Don’t Worry, He’s Looking at Me

Noticing her anticipation, a faint smile played upon Joseph’s lips. However, he could not allow her to obtain it so easily.

He said, “We shall see…”

Chloe’s eyes widened in astonishment. It seemed that spring had arrived, stirring not only the seasons but also Joseph’s desires. She had previously assumed him to be impotent, but now she was certain he was not. And if he was a normal man, he would have physiological needs.

In the Johnsons‘ residence, Ava haphazardly threw all the jewelry left behind by Chloe’s mother into a suitcase from the jewelry cabinet. As the multitude of ornaments collided, producing crisp sounds, some came dangerously close to breaking. However, Ava paid no attention to their fate.

Karen fell silent. She too had not expected Chloe to be able to afford Samuel’s services.

“And Mommy, are that despicable woman’s grandparents truly just running a small business? If they could give their daughter 300 grand, they must have had at least tens of millions in assets back then.”

“They’re in the jewelry business, and they happened to strike it lucky once and made a fortune,” Karen explained.

200 grand, but with the accumulated interest over the years, it became 300. The reason the elderly couple had given Chloe’s mother that money was to persuade her to leave Benjamin and return to them. And when she was in the advanced stages of her illness, she did not wish to burden her parents and so deposited the money into the bank for Chloe to use
