Chapter 184 Change Your Clothes

"I'm heading to the station." Chloe struggled against him. She refused to continue dwelling on that topic. "You can't go." "It's fine. I don't care." "But I do." He bent his forefinger and flicked her fair and delicate forehead rudely before he asked, "Have you forgotten about your current identity?" After a brief pause, she became quite upset. "Oh, shoot! I forgot about that." Chloe had signed a contract with Joseph. She could be humiliated, but not the Whitmans. If the media dug out the truth and reported about this incident exaggeratedly, saying that the mighty wife of Joseph had showered rotten eggs on another woman in public... Pfft! That scene was both amusing and terrifying... Joseph stared at her as she stood there in worry, but she failed to suppress her laughter at some point. Her thoughts were unknown to him. "Stay here to reflect on your mistakes." Chloe wanted to resist but soon lost her confidence when she thought of Samuel's legal fee. She decided to hold herself back. At the police station, after Samuel met Tyson and learned about the incident, his expression turned hideous. Did he have to come here just because someone smashed a few rotten eggs on others? If the others in the same business heard that had taken on such a job, he would be embarrassed. Karen was waiting in the interrogation room. When she saw a lawyer-like man come in, she immediately covered her face and sobbed. "My poor Ava! She suffered this pain for no reason. What a great trauma it’ll be for her!" However, Benjamin's face turned extremely grim when he saw who it was. Samuel was a top lawyer in the industry but he was sent here to deal with this. Benjamin did not know if the old man behind Chloe was indeed filthy rich or if it was because he loved Chloe that he did not mind spending a lot of money to help resolve her issues. The moment Samuel entered the room, he detected an indescribable pungent scent as if the people sitting across from him were two piles of sh*t instead of people. He covered his nose in disgust. "We agree to pay the compensation but 4 million isn’t within our consideration." Karen did not know Samuel, so she assumed that Samuel could be easily dealt with. She refused sternly, "No, we won't accept a penny less than 4 million. Otherwise, we'll sue you." Hearing this, Samuel broke into a smile. "Sure. Please hurry up and provide the documents to the court so we can have an early court session." If he could earn 50 million this month, he would break the record for his highest monthly income. Karen was taken aback. She had never seen anyone so happy to receive a lawsuit. Benjamin pushed her behind him and uttered impatiently, "How much are you willing to pay?" "On top of the medical expenses, an additional compensation for psychological damages of $35 will be given.” Benjamin’s anger rose. He grabbed Samuel by the collar as he said violently, sputtering saliva, "You dare to scold me in this way?!" Samuel was fearless as he appeared unconcerned even though he was indeed scolding Benjamin. But he stated seriously, "I answered your question. I didn't scold you. You have a preconceived notion." "Sit down. No one is to lay hands on anyone!" Tyson stepped forward and separated the two of them. At last, they did not reach a consensus. The resolution Samuel suggested on Chloe's behalf was merely $35. There was not a penny more. If they could not accept it, they had to file a lawsuit. When Benjamin and Karen walked out of the interrogation room, they bumped into Ginny, who was playing in the corridor. Ginny had her hair up in a bun. At that moment, she asked Tyson naively, "Daddy, are they cleaners who clean toilets? They’re so stinky..." Tyson broke into a roar of laughter before patting his daughter’s small head. He neither denied it nor explained it. Benjamin clenched his fists tightly. Today, he was faced with inexplicable malice from every direction. When they arrived at the hospital, Ava had long regained consciousness. Or perhaps she had only pretended to have fainted in the first place. Chloe smashed a poop-like thing on Ava on the street, and Ava's date had been right beside her. There was no other way out except pretending to faint to avoid a fatal humiliation and awkwardness. When she saw that Benjamin was back, she eagerly sat up on the hospital bed. "Daddy, how did it go? When is Chloe going to say sorry to me in public?" "She refused to apologize." Great excitement dawned on Ava. "So, does that mean she agreed to pay me 4 million as compensation?" 'Is she that rich? I should’ve asked for more.' Karen did not have the heart to disappoint Ava, so she did not know how to expose the truth after being hesitant for a long time. Benjamin vented all his fury out at the side and demanded Ava stay far away from Chloe in the future. Chloe was a curse. After waiting for an entire afternoon, Ava only received $35. She collapsed on the bed as if she had suffered an invisible slap, her face was burning with shame. She then clenched the bed sheets tightly and became furious. "Daddy, I'm going to the South today." The Lopez family was very satisfied with her but Max had been scared off because of that b*tch Chloe. Two of her marriage prospects had been ruined. If she could not deal with Chloe, she could at least bully Chloe’s old folks. It would be for the best if they were dead. If not, they would suffer greatly. * The warmest season of the year descended on Aesper City. Chloe took Toto for a walk in the morning. When she got home, she was all sweaty. After taking a bath, she fished out a pair of breezy shorts and paired them with a light, thin shirt. She wore her thick black hair in a bun. The getup made her appear pure and young. When Joseph saw her straight and symmetric legs as well as the large part of fair skin that was exposed on her upper body, his face inevitably sank. "Are you planning to go to work in that?" "Isn't it pretty?" Chloe twirled in front of him. She looked fair and charming. Any expression she made was bewitching and seductive. Of course, an exceptional lady of her caliber was attractive. However, Joseph did not want others to enjoy her charms. His expression became ice-cold. "Put on a different shirt."
