Chapter 248 Why Would You Steal My Dogs?
Chloe planted a kiss on Joseph’s cheek and changed into her pajamas. “I’m going to take the dogs for
a walk. You can head to bed first,” she said.
During her period, Joseph had taken care of walking the dogs. Now that she was feeling better, it was
her turn to take them out.
“It’s raining tonight. Let’s postpone it to tomorrow,” he replied.
Glancing at the time, Chloe noticed it was already one hour to midnight. The dark clouds outside
obscured the moonlight as if the night itself held lurking dangers, creating an ominous atmosphere.
Feeling an unexplained sense of unease, she nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
The dogs were in the backyard and had the freedom to use it for their bathroom needs, so there was
no urgency for them.
Before retiring for the night, Chloe received a text from Xavia, informing her that she would come to see
Oreo tomorrow morning.
Outside the courtyard, two professional dog catchers were stationed along the path that Chloe typically
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttook to walk her dogs. However, even at one o’clock in the morning, they failed to catch sight of Chloe.

soothing female voice answered the phone, “She won’t be walking the dogs tonight. Go home, get
some sleep, and come back tomorrow morning. Remember to follow the route I
provided.”

The night rain brought with it a refreshing and delightful atmosphere the next morning. Chloe, who had
not walked the dogs last night, woke up half an hour earlier to take Oreo and Toto out. Just as she set

“Chloe, I came to work early today, but the security guards at the entrance aren’t here yet. Do you
happen to know the password for the ground floor?” Sophia asked.
“It’s six sevens. Why are you at the office so early?” Chloe inquired.
“I completely forgot to prepare the presentation slides for today’s meeting,” Sophia confessed, “Chloe,
I’m heading up. Can you tell me the password for Marketing’s entrance?”
“It’s the same as the ground floor.”
“Oh, I see.”

questions one after another. It seemed like she had no intention of ending the call with Chloe just yet.
As it was work-related and Sophia was still new to the company, Chloe patiently addressed each
question, providing thorough answers.

usual path. Oreo and Toto, on the other hand, sniffed around in excitement, their tails wagging in
anticipation. Occasionally, they stumbled upon freeze-dried snacks scattered on the ground, seemingly

dogs.

onto Oreo’s and Toto’s leashes.
Suddenly, two men emerged from the bushes, catching Chloe off guard. Without uttering a word, they
forcefully wrestled the leashes from her grasp. Fear gripped Chloe as she helplessly watched Oreo
being taken away by the men. She resisted and tried to snatch Oreo back from
their clutches.

you steal my dogs?! I’m telling you, this neighborhood is equipped with surveillance cameras, and you
