Chapter 1076 Joseph Is Infamous

Kenneth was caught off guard, and his gaze became shifty. "What are you talking about?” "You kidnapped Zoelle, didn't you? The kidnappers were your men," Chloe stated firmly while looking at Kenneth with a mocking gaze. Kenneth naively thought that his scheme had been flawless. Besides, the kidnapping had been more than a month ago. He had not expected Chloe to still be on about it. He glanced at their surroundings through the corners of his eyes. Seeing there were many upper echelons around them, he hastily whispered, "Let's talk in the car." Chloe rejected, "No, thank you.” After taking a deep breath, Kenneth said in a controlled tone, "There are too many people here." Joseph's eyes were cold. He said softly, but loud enough for the surrounding people to hear, "Oh, wow. The prince is so shameless." At that statement, the other guests of the charity gala stopped conversing and looked toward the trio as they started whispering among themselves. "Hey, is there something going on?" "I don't know. I wonder what the prince did to offend Joseph?" "I'm curious too. Looks like the prince is outmatched." "I don't think so. He is the prince, after all." "Have you forgotten that Joseph is the husband of the prince's elder sister?" Overhearing the whispers, Chloe teased Joseph, "You sure are infamous." Others were of the opinion that even the prince would not dare to offend Joseph. Kenneth clenched his fist in anger. He felt like he had been made a laughingstock in front of everyone. He had never been humiliated like this. He was always in the limelight and adored by everyone. Besides, he had clearly humbled himself to talk to them, so why were they reluctant to return the favor? Chloe noticed the fury in Kenneth's eyes. "What's the matter? Are you mad? We're the ones who are supposed to be mad here." As expected, the spoiled Kenneth could not handle a blow. "Yes, I asked some people to kidnap Zoelle,” Kenneth retorted mockingly, "So what? Is that the answer you wanted? Are you satisfied now?" His questions earned him a furious glare from Joseph. In a dignified and overbearing manner, Joseph rebuked Kenneth, "Don't make yourself sound so innocent. We're the victims here." He had not found fault with Xavia at Louis Town because he could not bear to harm the baby, and he was with his family too. It would be too great a loss if an accident were to occur. Though Kenneth was ashamed, he remained stubborn. "Yes, Xavia’s a bad person, but I can't ignore the baby." "You're right, but that isn't an excuse for you to tolerate a wanted criminal." "Would you guys have said yes if I had told you?" "What do you think?" Kenneth said disdainfully, "I made a bad move because I knew you guys wouldn't agree. I also know that you're going to tell my father about it, so let's just tell him today." He might as well admit to his mistake instead of waiting for them to report him. Chloe laughed. She had never met someone so eager to ask for punishment. "Sure, why don't you tell us Xavia's address too? I'm sure she has already delivered the baby by now." The guilt-ridden Kenneth ignored her question and strode away. Chloe and Joseph looked at each other and followed after him. * At the palace, Kenneth's palms were slick with sweat, and he was nervous. He could not handle Joseph and Chloe's sarcasm, hence, he went straight to Callum. Creak… The door opened and Callum entered the room. Kenneth went up to Callum and said with trepidation, "I was forced to make a wrong choice, Father. I hope you will forgive me."
