Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 84

Chapter 84 I’ll Destroy It if I Can’t Have It

Samuel’s eyes widened in shock.

“What?! You should’ve told me earlier! I wouldn’t have asked her to pay me lawyer fees then!” he exclaimed.

“Lawyer fees?” Joseph’s eyes narrowed. “She approached you already?”

He had returned from his overseas business trip earlier than planned and a lot of things were piling up on his plate. He had planned to finish everything and then inform Samuel about Chloe’s situation. He even intended to pay for the legal fees, but he had not expected her to be so impatient and approach Samuel herself.

“She called me yesterday. If I knew she’s your wife, I wouldn’t have asked for the fee,” Samuel explained.

“Help her with the lawsuit. I’ll have my assistant pay you.”

After regaining from his shock, Nathan looked at Joseph and teased him, “One second, you told me you couldn’t stand her, and the next, you married her behind our backs. This isn’t like you at all, Joe.”

It seemed that Chloe”s beauty and her ability to captivate men were exceptional. Otherwise, how could the unapproachable Joseph have fallen for her?

“Of course, this isn’t my style. Our marriage is just a contract.”

“What do

you mean?” Both Samuel and Nathan were stunned.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Calmly sipping his tea, Joseph then proceeded to tell them about his grandfather pressuring him to marry and have children.

“Wow, you went to such lengths just to avoid an arranged marriage,” Samuel commented, impressed by his friend’s determination. “However, you can’t keep up with this forever. Knowing Mr. Harold’s desire for a grandson, you need to consider an

alternative solution.”

As a top-tier lawyer, Samuel soon pinpointed the problem. It was common for people to tell lies to cover up for the previous one, but eventually, their lies would be exposed.

Harold might be old but he was sharp. He would figure it out eventually.

“Then why don’t you just make it real?” Nathan suggested with a grin.

Samuel’s eyes lit up with amusement as he added, “That’s also a solution. Since you’re

willing to pay her legal fees, my guess is that you two get along pretty well, right?”

Joseph tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, recalling his interactions with Chloe over the past few months.

“She’s always causing trouble. Do you really think that’s possible?” he scoffed.

“Beautiful girls naturally attract more trouble. She helped you out so much, so can’t you help her in return?” Nathan defended Chloe.

“You think I haven’t already helped her?” Joseph retorted.

Nathan and Samuel exchanged a knowing look, sensing an undercurrent of affection between the pair despite Joseph’s words. Despite his cold and indifferent nature toward others, his repeated willingness

to assist Chloe suggested that she held a special place in his heart. But since he refused to acknowledge any romantic attraction, they decided

not to risk their lives to reveal it.

Nathan urged Joseph, “Chloe is beautiful, kind, and cooks for you every day. It’s not easy to find such a good woman these days. If you have feelings for her, you should let her know before someone else steals her away.”

“But you haven’t even interacted with her. How do you know she has a good personality?”

“If she can live with you for such a long time and hasn’t run away in annoyance, doesn’t that prove her good character?”

“So? There are plenty of women who like me. Besides, I don’t like her. She’s at troublemaker,” Joseph said.

Nathan could not argue with him. In terms of family background, ability, and appearance, Joseph was undoubtedly the dream lover of all the girls in the city. However, his intuition told him that although Chloe might not be the most beautiful or come from the most affluent family, she was definitely the most suitable for Joseph.

After dinner, Samuel immediately contacted Chloe and told her that he could help her with her case for free, but his schedule was fully booked for this month and the next. They would have to wait until July.

After hanging up the phone, Chloe pinched her cheeks as if to confirm that this was not a dream. Just three hours ago, Samuel had hung up on her without hesitation when she could not afford his legal fees. Why was he suddenly willing to help her for free now?

The image of Joseph’s handsome face floated into her mind. ‘He’s the one who recommended Samuel to me. Could he have something to do with this?’

Chloe fell silent for a moment before typing “Samuel Winson” into the search bar on her laptop. As she read over the long list of impressive accolades that popped up on the screen, her eyelids twitched. Suddenly, 1,200,000 dollars seemed like a paltry sum.

The fact that Joseph knew such a capable lawyer only added to Chloe’s admiration for him.

After finishing work in the evening, Chloe planned to go to the market to buy ingredients and cook a nice meal for Joseph. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Jake came up to her.

“Move aside.” Chloe frowned.

Jake was filled with anger, and he widened his eyes. “Why are you so vicious? You ruined the engagement party that was going perfectly. Do you really have to destroy me just because you couldn’t have me?”
