Chapter 119

Outside Tong Garden.

Joseph stood alone, tall and elegant, by the black Ferrari, his back as straight as a pine tree, refined and graceful. While waiting, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at the handsome plaque.

For the past few days, he had been relentlessly investigating and gaining an understanding of the Thorp Group. Stefan’s wife Chloe’s mother purchased the only Garden mansion of its kind in the entire country, whose value was immeasurable.

The reason why it was named “Tong” was because Chloe’s mother was called “Tonks” Lewis.

That was why she adopted the pseudonym “Raya” to remain close to him.

Yet, why did they name her Raya?

She was clearly not diminutive in any way.

As Joseph’s thoughts drifted, the door creaked and slowly opened a crack.

Upon hearing the sound, he immediately averted his gaze and tensed his broad shoulders.

Chloe, shielding the brilliant sun with her palm, stood on the steps, gazing at Joseph.

The man with the dog didn’t don the three suits welded to his body today; instead, he wore a beige pair of trousers and a light blue jacket. He was neat, radiant, and dignified, looking as handsome as jade and as cool as a breeze.

Chloe had never seen Joseph dressed like this before. Usually, this man was like a young master from an old sect, hailing from the “Gold and Yellow Powder Family”. He was usually strict and restrained, meticulous in his ways. Today… she couldn’t help but feel that he looked more casual than usual, though she suspected it was all part of a plan.

He was really good-looking, but unfortunately he was a human model, that acted like a canine.

Chloe was drawing nearer to him, her haste evident in the home slippers still on her feet. Her light, graceful steps had an indescribable charm, inviting intimacy.

Joseph lowered his gaze and fixed his eyes on her feet. His heart burned.

“Why are you staring at my feet? Haven’t you ever seen slippers before?” Chloe’s toes, concealed in the slippers, curled uneasily, not giving him a clear view.

“You always wear high heels,” Joseph said, narrowing his eyes. “I’ve never seen you in this.”

“Ha ha, it’s obvious your eyesight isn’t great”

“For the past three years. I’ve been strolling around in front of you, yet you claimed you’d never seen me before.”

“I’m aware that I’ve never been visible to you. Now that we’re no longer together, there’s no need for you to ridicule me like this again, correct?”

Joseph’s heart suddenly stopped and his face grew dark in an instant.

He remembered, yes.

Once he returned home, she must be the first to welcome him.

She ran up to him with cheerful little steps, wearing an apron and holding a small spatula. Her white face was always oily, yet she smiled gently and kindly at him.
