Chapter 639 She Could Not Depend on Anyone

Chloe had no energy to deal with Jonathan and Octavia. She wiped away the tears from her face and quietly entered the hospital ward, sitting quietly by Harold’s side.

Octavia became even angrier when Chloe ignored her. She grabbed Chloe by the collar and shook her forcefully. “Why are you pretending not to hear me when I’m talking to you?!

“Don’t think you can avoid responsibility by ignoring us. We’ve heard what the police said. You attempted to kill Dad, and we’re here today to make you turn yourself in,” Jonathan chimed in, his tone full of disgust and hatred.

Both of them were convinced that Chloe was the culprit behind what happened to Harold. After all, even the police considered her the prime suspect. They simply could not fathom why Joseph continued to protect her. It was as if he was blinded by something, making him unable to see who his real family was.

“That’s enough!” Joseph roared, his gaze sharp as a knife. “If you want to argue, do it outside. Don’t cause trouble here.”

“But Joe, we’re not causing any trouble. We just want Chloe to face the consequences of her actions,” Jonathan said.

“I know what I’m doing. You should stay out of this.”

“If you know what you’re doing, then why don’t you hand her over to the police?”

“The police don’t have enough evidence. They can only detain her for 24 hours at most. I’d rather keep her here and conduct my own investigation,” Joseph said, looking at his cousin with a cold gaze.

As Chloe glanced at Joseph, a sense of confusion overwhelmed her. He had shown trust in her in front of Nathan, but he was now saying such words in front of Jonathan. She could not tell which side represented the truth and which side was the lie. Yet, considering their situation, the truth did not matter anymore.

Jonathan was taken aback,

“Are you questioning me?” Joseph asked, his tone grim.

Jonathan felt a chill down his spine. He shook his head frantically and gulped. “No, no. I believe in you, Joe.”

“We’re just worried about Dad’s safety and don’t want the culprit to escape. Why are you scaring Jon like this… We have yet to ask you about why you concealed from us that Dad is still alive…” Octavia grumbled indignantly.
