Chapter 142 I Think My Boyfriend Is Cheating On Me
Seeing as how Jake was awake in the middle of the night, it looked like he had not been having an easy time after breaking up with Ava.
However, Chloe did not care about that. She shuddered at the thought of going back to her
exes. Besides, she would never do that either.
She was not moved by Jake’s midnight pretense of loyalty and passion.
After washing up, Chloe went downstairs with Joseph.
The weather was perfect today-bright and sunny. Chloe’s work desk area was beside the window. She threw open the window and felt a light breeze which lifted her mood.
She enthusiastically typed away on her keyboard, making rhythmic clicking sounds.
“Chloe, someone is looking for you downstairs.”
After an unknown period, the receptionist called her and interrupted her thoughts.
Chloe took off her earphones and was stunned for a while. “Okay, I’ll go down right now.”
When she arrived on the ground floor, she furrowed her brows when she saw Jake.
“What do you want?” she asked.
“Coco, congratulations on passing your interview and getting a job at Fairlight.”
Although his hair was a bit messed up, Jake looked decent enough. However, dark circles could be seen under his eyes. He had lost so much weight and appeared dispirited and haggard. But
he sounded rather sincere.
“How do you know I’m working here?”
“Ava told me when I went to the Johnsons’ family to cancel the engagement.” After dwelling on it for a while, he suppressed his deep emotions and inquired, “Is the matter between her
and Adam true?”
Chloe was silent. He appeared pretty desperate, so she nodded. “Yes, it’s true. Ava took the initiative to get close to Adam for Patterson’s projects.”
“F*ck! That b*tch!”
Ava had worn such sexy clothes that day, claiming that she had gone shopping with Melody. She must have been out with Adam.
Jake knew now that Ava had cheated on him with a younger man. But that young man was Alexander Patterson’s son. Hence, he could only suffer in silence.
“Coco, I was wrong and blind. I didn’t see how nice you were to me. Is it…still possible

“Never,” she refused directly without any hesitation.

How ridiculous. She had started a new life. She must be crazy if she wanted to back together with him.
Jake laughed at himself. “That’s right. I’ve lost that right. Uncle Icarus is far better than me.”
Even if Icarus and Chloe ended up marrying each other, Jake would not object even if he could not forget about her. He had brought this upon himself, so he deserved to suffer as such.
“What does Icarus have anything to do with me?” Chloe instantly took a step back and tried to dissociate herself from that. “Stop saying nonsense.”
In a daze, Jake became hesitant. He said, “Haven’t you been spending time with Uncle Icarus?”
“That’s a misunderstanding!”
“No way. Uncle Icarus told me that he likes you. Why is it a misunderstanding?”
Chloe was slightly stunned, and her heart skipped a beat. “Are you sure it’s Icarus who told you that?”
“Yes, he told me.” Jake’s expression became strange. “Don’t you know? You told me before that Uncle Icarus likes you…’
While they were talking, many things that could not be explained previously were now
resolved.
‘Oh, gosh! Are you kidding me?’ Chloe scratched her head, frustrated. ‘I wanted to be Jake’s aunt, but not anymore. It’s too late now.’
Jake looked at her in worry. “Are you having a headache? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”
“No, thanks. I’m going back upstairs to work if you’re done.” She was in no mood to handle this now because she wanted some alone time.
“Yes, I’m done. I have yet to regain the dowry I gave to the Johnsons. It’s Benjamin’s birthday party next week. If they still refuse to return it to me by then, I’ll go there and ask for it on that day. Then, they’ll be thoroughly embarrassed.” Jake gnashed his teeth in hatred. After all, things had come to this state, and he did not care if he had a falling out with them.
After some slight hesitation, he stated guiltily, “I heard Benjamin mention your mother before I left. He seemed to be talking about a dowry. Are you going back to them?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Will you attend Benjamin’s birthday party? He cares about his reputation a lot. If you go there and ask for it that day, he may give it to you since he’ll be put on the spot in front of so

many people.”
Chloe shook her head. “You’re too naive.’
If it were that simple, she would not have had to file a lawsuit. The court summons should reach them in the next few days.
After sending Jake off, Chloe returned to her desk and continued working. When the work day was almost over, Emily suddenly called her.
As she sobbed, Emily said, “I think my boyfriend is cheating on me. Why Coco…..”
Chloe’s eyelids started to twitch furiously. She immediately recalled the couple she had seen hugging and kissing each other in the Toyota the other day.
She then glanced at the time shown at the bottom of her computer screen and comforted Emily, “Where are you now? I’ll be off work in about half an hour. I’ll come to find you.
Emily gave her an address to a private cinema.
A bad feeling dawned on Chloe. There was no doubt that they were about to catch the cheating couple red-handed.
Chloe decided to ask Joseph for a few guards as a safety precaution.
If they indeed caught the cheating couple red-handed, Emily might launch herself at the scumbag in a fit of rage. Hence, they had to come on strong and imposing.
