Chapter 19 Another Interview " A security guard ? " Lucas had not told Joseph that a security guard had been involved as well . Chloe nodded , and as she recounted the incident , she felt aggravated . Rolling up her sleeves , she showed him the scratches . " This is what he did to me . There's a wound on my calf too . " The two scabs on her fair skin looked like damage on a priceless piece of artwork , and the sight was jarring . As she continued to complain about Fairlight , his expression grew increasingly dark . Chloe only noticed something was amiss with Joseph's expression after she had finished venting . She cautiously prodded him with her finger and asked , " What's the matter ? " ' Is he a friend to the CEO of Fairlight ? ' " Nothing , " Joseph replied . " Okay … " Joseph lowered his gaze and suppressed his emotions . " Go to bed early , and please wash the dishes . " " Sure , " Chloe said readily . She did not find any issue in taking care of the dishes since Joseph was the one who cooked . The lights were still on at the Johnson residence late at night . Sitting on the couch , Benjamin asked doubtfully , " The interviewer at Fairlight was fired because of Coco ? " Ava , who was sitting beside him , grabbed his arm . " It's true . What other reason could there be ? Such things don't just happen by coincidence . Coco must have found someone better than us . " Do you think she's really capable of doing that ? " Benjamin scoffed . " Those with power aren't idiots . " It was within the norms of high society for men and women to have a secret lover without their family's knowledge , and Benjamin was convinced that Chloe was being kept as a mistress by the man in question . " Daddy , we can't just watch Coco go down the wrong path . You should call her tomorrow and ask her to come home , " Ava said . " Indeed , society can be unforgiving , especially to those who try to benefit from the wealth of the influential without paying a price . Rumor has it that a young girl was caught by the wife of the man she was seeing and had her face disfigured . It ruined her life . Despite Coco's strong personality , she's still a Johnson and would do well to avoid any kind of scandal . Any negative publicity would have severe consequences for both Coco and the Johnsons as a whole , " Karen chimed in . After listening to what Karen said , Benjamin patted her shoulder and let out a long sigh . " She treats you so rudely , yet you're still trying to help her . " Karen smiled . "No matter what she does , she's still my child . I'm just afraid that Coco won't come home . " up the " She doesn't have a choice . She doesn't want to come home because she messed contract . If she refuses to come home tomorrow after I call her , she can say goodbye to the assets that her mother left for her . " He had originally planned to give Chloe a tenth of her mother's assets , but now he was reconsidering it . At his words , Ava hugged his arm and asked sweetly , " What about me , Daddy ? Where's my share ? " Benjamin's expression softened and a smile spread across his face . " My dear , every single thing in the family belongs to you . I'll make sure your wedding is the grandest there ever was . " After overindulging in the pasta Joseph had cooked , Chloe did not sleep well and woke up at dawn to the faint light of morning . She continued to lay in bed , listening as the occupant in the next room turned on the lights , went into the bathroom to freshen up , and then headed out the door . She could not help feeling envious of Joseph . Unlike her , he had a job . Chloe received an email at precisely nine in the morning , which is the customary time for many companies to start working . As she read through the message and reached the last line , her eyes widened in utter disbelief . Before she could even recover from her shock , a phone call came in . " Yes , I'm Chloe . " Huh ? The interviewer from yesterday was fired ? " Yes , I'd love to . " After scheduling another interview in the afternoon , Chloe hung up the phone . She clutched her phone tightly with both hands and spun around several times . She felt indescribably happy . Chloe still found it hard to believe when she arrived in front of Fairlight . Then , she noticed that the security guard who had thrown her out yesterday was nowhere in sight .
