Chapter 749 The Person He Thought He Knew Duped Him

Joseph squinted as his voice contained a hint of uncertainty and hesitation, "What are you talking about?"

"Grandpa hasn't told you, huh?" Chloe straightened up as she narrated the facts nonchalantly, "Xavia’s working for Duskfall. She’s the one who orchestrated all the twists and turns."

Chloe did not wish to meddle in other people's affairs, but neither did she want to owe anyone favors, especially not to someone as arrogant as him.

Joseph froze, his brows deeply furrowed. "How could Xavia possibly be involved with Duskfall? And if she is, why would she still pester me after Grandpa has woken up?"

"That's why she has been getting close to Kenneth."

Not wasting too many words, Chloe played for Joseph a recording taken at Dawnstar. In it, Xavia's tone shifted from furious roaring to desperate begging. The whole ordeal lasted no more than ten minutes, but the extent of her evil deeds was enough to be unforgivable for a lifetime.

A dark shadow took over Joseph’s face as he emitted a chilling aura. The person he thought he knew had duped him for years. She had even used Jasper to seek attention. His heart ached as he grasped the extent of the harm he had caused Chloe, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.
