Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 186 The Elusive Opportunity

Ellie was visibly prepared as she forcefully pushed Chloe aside. “I told you to thoroughly inspect everything before coming here. Why didn’t you listen?”

Chloe was bewildered. “I did inspect it…” Although she had carefully checked the contents of the plan, there was clearly something stuck to the file with glue, which naturally should have been noticed.

‘Wait a minute…‘ Chloe suddenly noticed something and took another look at the folder. It was not a paperclip, but a sharp- ended safety pin!

Joseph nonchalantly wiped the blood off his finger with a tissue as if it was a minor inconvenience and turned his gaze to Chloe. “Did it prick you?”

“No, I recall when Ms. Wendy handed me the folder, it didn’t have this item on it, and I hadn’t used any safety pins. However, it’s still my mistake, and I’m sorry.”
