Chapter 143 The Cheating Couple
After Chloe exited the elevator, she gazed at the whole floor that Joseph occupied.
A realization overcame her. Although he had a bad temper and vicious tongue, he was not a playboy. After spending such a long time with him, she found that he had good self-control.
‘He is a pretty good man…’
When Lucas came out, he saw Chloe standing at the entrance of the elevator, lost in thought. She even nodded to herself from time to time.
He waved his hand in front of her and disrupted her thoughts. “Ms. Chloe, are you here to see Mr. Joseph?”
“Ah… Yes. Is he here?”
“Yes, he is.”
After saying that, Lucas deliberately added, “Mr. Joseph has left instructions that you may go straight in whenever you come by. It’s more convenient that way.”
Chloe gave Lucas a weird look. She just needed to come here once to deliver lunch to him at
noon every day. So, it had nothing to do with whether it was convenient or not. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Still, she gave a courteous reply even though she fancied such a thought.
Surprisingly, Joseph was not in his office working. Instead, he was taking a break, lying on the black leather sofa with his eyes closed.
Chloe took care to be light footed and held her breath. She then stopped in her tracks as she was troubled by conflicted feelings. She did not know if she should wake him up. After dwelling on it for a few seconds, she felt that Lucas might be able to decide on whether she could have a few guards.
She heard Joseph’s clear voice behind her the moment she grasped the doorknob.
“Spill it.”
Startled, Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. She patted her chest in resentment. “You’re awake.”
Joseph had been so silent. “I was, but I woke up when you came in.” He sat up on the sofa and rubbed the place between his brows.
His underlying meaning was that she had woken him up. She thought herself innocent since she had not made much noise.
“Umm… Can I get a few guards from you?”
Joseph’s eyes flew open and stared at her through dangerously narrowed eyes. “Are you going

to the Johnson residence?”
“No, my bestie thinks her boyfriend is cheating on her. I’m going with her to check things out.
He frowned and paused. After a moment, he said, “I’ll go with you. We can then go home together when it’s over.”
However, she frowned and gazed at him with some doubt. He seemed fine, but did he know
how to handle a situation like this?
Doing business and catching a homewrecker in the act were two vastly different affairs.
He had been in the business world for a long time, and he had never encountered other types of hardships. What if he got rid of Emily before it began just because he despised her for being too noisy with her crying and wailing?
Joseph then met her gaze and whispered, “I won’t go in. Lucas will go with you.’
“Deal.”
They soon arrived at the spot based on the address Emily had sent. She was sitting in the lobby of the cinema, her eyes red from crying.
“Did you see him go upstairs with a woman?” Chloe held Emily’s hands, her heart aching for
her friend.
“Yeah, I saw them. I know which room they’re in.”
Lucas looked around and felt that it was a rather decent place. “Is it possible they’re just here to watch a movie?”
“Impossible. People normally wouldn’t pick a room with a water bed if they really wanted to watch a movie!” Emily cried, “I’m being cheated on. We’re so unlucky, Coco. Your boyfriend cheated on you before this, and now my boyfriend is doing the same to me. We’re both on team cheated-on-and- dumped…”
Chloe’s lips twitched. “That’s enough. Stop saying nonsense. Let’s go upstairs and check it out.
The room the couple had booked was on the third floor. In the corridor, they could hear all kinds of explicit noises from inside. Chloe’s heart sank. There was doubt about it anymore.
Lucas pretended to be a waiter and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” a man answered, breathless.
“I’m a technician. There’s a problem with the wiring in your room, and there may be a danger of electric leakage. Let me check it out for you. I’ll have everything fixed in a few minutes.”
After that, they heard the rustling sounds of people putting on clothes before a man opened the door, the top half of him bare.
Emily immediately rushed into the room.
When Chloe saw the man’s face, she clenched her fists tightly. The man she saw kissing a woman in the Toyota the other day was none other than Emily’s boyfriend.
