Chapter 524 You’re the Liar, Not Me

Joseph fell into a dilemma. “We don’t have any evidence to prove this.”

He had been dating Xavia for so many years, so he was fully aware of her social and friend circles. Previously, he

had his underlings investigate her, but there was nothing suspicious about her except those humiliating love affairs

she had during her younger days.

“A woman’s instinct is sometimes more accurate than proof.” Chloe flared up in a rage. She felt that Joseph was

defending her, so she became stubborn. She had now forgotten why she had come here in the first place.

Knock, knock, knock

Someone’s knocking interrupted their argument.

“Come in.”

Lucas entered the office. He glanced at Chloe before saying to Joseph in slight embarrassment, “Sir, was I

interrupting something?”

“Just tell me what’s wrong.”

“Umm… I’d like to ask for the rest of the day off.”

Joseph looked up and scrutinized Lucas with his slender eyes. “Didn’t you just get back from a long vacation a few

days ago? What do you plan to do now?”

Chloe pitied Lucas who had been working tirelessly for a few years. “Let him take a day off. I can help you if you’re

busy. He’s constantly working long hours, so why can’t he ask for the occasional day off?”

“He’s responsible for some projects. If there’s a problem, he has to be here to solve it.”

“Sir, I-I won’t go far. I’ll be in A-Aesper,” Lucas stammered.

“Just answer my question.”

Joseph felt the need to get to the bottom of it if Lucas was trying to hide it. Lucas’ relatives and friends were not at

Aesper, and his only social circle consisted of the employees of Fairlight.

“Emily wants me to pretend to be her boyfriend and go home with her to placate her parents.”

After suppressing himself for a few minutes, Lucas finally exposed the truth in one breath, his tanned face flushing

red.

Feeling stunned, Joseph looked into Chloe’s eyes.

After a moment of shock, Chloe became agitated. “When did you and Em start dating?”

She had noticed that their relationship had changed slightly, but it had developed to this point

quicker than she had anticipated.

“No, we’re just putting on an act. Emily ruined her previous blind date, so her parents are unhappy with her.”

Chloe did not believe him and thought it was just an excuse. The act might become real one day.

Although Lucas was merely an assistant, he was exceptionally capable since he had managed to stay under

Joseph’s employment for so many years. On top of that, he was good-looking and had tanned skin and a slim body.

His facial features were nice, making him look like a witty man.

It would be fine if he and Emily ended up dating, but Chloe recalled that Emily’s parents wanted a son-in-law who

was from the city. And it was best if he was a civil servant.

Chloe said to Joseph, “I’ll go for dinner with Em tonight to ask her about it.”

She did not mind it if Emily dated Lucas, but she knew that Emily was a fool when it came to love and might

accidentally expose Chloe’s pregnancy to Lucas, so Chloe had to take some. precautionary steps.

Joseph nodded and pinched Chloe’s cheeks. “Okay, I’ll find you once I’m done dealing with these documents. Just

send me your location.”

“Okay.”

Chloe contacted Emily, and they agreed to meet at the mall. They arrived there one after another. She was about

to ask her best friend what was going on between her and Lucas when she heard a familiar voice coming from

inside the maternity and baby products store beside her.

“Please pick out for me a few gender-neutral outfits for newborn babies. Oh, including shoes and caps too.” Xavia

was wearing a simple, long blue sweater with a beige beret. She supported her waist and stood there gracefully.

Emily shot Xavia a glare. “Come on, Coco. Let’s go and get some clothes too.”

‘She acts like she’s the only one with a baby. She has yet to get the amniocentesis, and she’s already buying clothes

for the baby. She’s so sure of her success.’
