Chapter 291 Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

There was a brief silence as Chloe collected her thoughts.

Joseph’s gaze bore into Chloe, the contempt in his eyes blazing. He was convinced that she was a stupid woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Unfortunately, there would be someone better, and Chloe’s acting skills were inferior to those of Harold’s.

Exiting the ward, Chloe turned to Joseph and said, “We can’t let Grandpa find out the truth for now. He can’t handle any more shocks.”

“So?” Joseph replied, his hands casually tucked in his pockets, his demeanor cold and impassive.

Chloe furrowed her brows again. ‘He’s your grandfather. How can you act as if it’s none of your concern?’ she thought.

Speaking calmly, she proposed, “I’ll give you three months. Xavia can take my place during that time, and after that, we’ll go our separate ways. During these three months, I’ll cooperate with you.”

She was willing to persevere a little longer for the sake of Harold’s well-being.

Joseph clenched his jaw tightly, his eyes filled with a dark gloom. ‘Does she really want to end everything between us like this?’ he thought.

“Xavia will not be marrying into the Whitmans,” he stated.

“Huh? But why?”

“It’s none of your business.”
