Chapter 286 The Divorce

Chloe paused for a moment before saying to the driver, “Could you please take me to a nearby hotel?”

The next morning, Chloe woke up in the hotel room. Observing her reflection in the mirror, she noticed dark circles hanging heavily under her eyes, making her look like a panda.

Throughout the night, she pondered her thoughts and gained clarity. There was no denying that she bore responsibility in this situation. If she had made a mistake, she needed to face the consequences. Regardless of how Joseph treated her, she had to explain herself.

After freshening up, Chloe returned to the villa, only to be surprised by Xavia’s presence. Caught off guard, Chloe mustered a reluctant greeting toward Xavia. However, Xavia avoided making eye contact and appeared visibly uneasy.

Joseph lifted his gaze, his expression icy cold as he delivered his words. “This afternoon, we’ll go to City Hall for a divorce, and I expect you to have your belongings cleared out before tonight.”

Chloe’s face drained of color, leaving her speechless. Before she could utter a word, Xavia, appearing more flustered than the person directly involved, interjected, “Joe, you don’t need to bear any responsibility for me. Don’t argue because of me.”

Confusion clouded Chloe’s mind as she questioned, her voice trembling slightly, “What responsibility are you talking about?”

Xavia, for some inexplicable reason, felt compelled to explain, “Aren’t you upset about the intimate rendezvous that happened between Joe and me on Thursday night?”
