Chapter 50 She Planned on Giving Them a Big Present
Patting her chest, Chloe let out a long sigh and muttered, “Thank goodness you didn’t see him.”
She had not truly become Joseph’s wife yet, so she was not ready to confess to him.
“What did you say?”
“Nothing. I didn’t say anything,” Chloe replied. After regaining some of her
composure, she apologized, sounding a little guilty, “I’m sorry for wasting your time today.”
Joseph did not respond. As he turned the wheel skillfully with his slender fingers, he said in a serious
voice, “You know that there’s something fishy about today’s matter, right?”
“Yeah…”
“You have a lot of enemies.”
After a period of unemployment, Chloe finally secured a job, but she managed to cause a huge
problem within the first month. Although Baxon might let her stay on, she would need to find the
courage to confront the rumors and gossip that would surely
circulate.
With a bitter smile, she explained, “It’s not that I’m bad at dealing with people. Luck just hasn’t been on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy side.”
Being born into an unfair family and having a father as biased as Benjamin was the
source of all her sorrow.
Joseph stepped on the accelerator and said, “Don’t think too much. Go home and get some rest. Go to
work as usual tomorrow. If Baxon is willing to keep you, then stay. If
not, quit as soon as you can.”
He had always looked down on Baxon, particularly their executives in the project team. They were
willing to sacrifice their employees to achieve their targets, showing a complete lack of humanity in their
pursuit of profits. Maurice was among those on the project team.
“No. As long as Baxon doesn’t fire me, I’ll keep working here. I can’t afford to lose this job,” Chloe said
firmly, shaking her head.
She could enjoy her days with the card that Joseph had given her, but she was not the
owner of the card and had no security. Besides, Joseph had not developed any romantic feelings for
her yet and she could not rely on him completely unless she found a better place to go. At least not for
now.
Chloe was not a pushover and would not stay silent when treated unfairly. It would be Ava and Jake’s
engagement party soon, and she planned on giving them a big present.
The news of the case being resolved quickly spread to Baxon. Yesterday, those colleagues who had
chosen to stand by and watch the show came one by one to comfort Chloe. She had already seen their
true faces and did not want to talk to them, so she gave them curt replies and went back to her desk.
Janice from the HR department walked over and said in a sarcastic tone, “Wow, you’re amazing. You
were brought to the police station and managed to get out. You must be well-connected.”
Chloe had not said anything yet when Maurice suddenly appeared from the corridor and joked, “Well,
it’s normal for someone as beautiful as Chloe to have some connections.”
Maurice had taken a liking to Chloe a month ago. After observing her for a while, he realized that she
was a proud woman. He had been hinting at her for a half month, but she remained unfazed. One time,
she almost slapped him. He had not met such a tough nut in a long time. If he could not win her over,
he was determined to make her suffer a little.
“Wow, that sounds great. I wish I had some connections too. Who knows? I might be made team leader
right after joining a company,” exclaimed Janice in a shrill voice that was unpleasant to the ears.

“What are you talking about? Our team leader got to where she is through her abilities,

She took a day off yesterday, and when she came in this morning, she learned about the big incident.
Fortunately, Chloe was cleared of suspicion and returned safely.
“What am I talking about? Why don’t you ask her yourself?” Janice scoffed coldly,” Everyone in HR
knows that Chloe originally applied for an Estrenian translator position. But after just a few days, she
magically became a team leader. Who would believe that she didn’t use connections?”
Because of this incident, the manager discovered that she had manipulated her performance and lost a
month’s bonus.
Chloe’s teammate was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Just as she was about to roll up
her sleeves, Chloe stepped forward and said innocently to Janice, “You
wish you had some connections too? But too bad, you can’t.”
Janice knew that Chloe’s words were not friendly, but she still could not help asking, Why?”
“Because… You’re not pretty enough
