Chapter 411

Chapter 411 To Feed Without Teaching Is the Father’s Fault

One hour later, Chloe and Samuel arrived at the police station. Only the lawyer was allowed inside, so

Chloe anxiously waited outside.

Another half hour passed. Joseph and Samuel came out at the same time. Chloe approached them

and asked eagerly, “How did it go? Can we leave now?”

Samuel let out a long sigh. “Yes, everything is fine. The urine test came back negative, and they

identified the person who placed the package through the surveillance footage.”

Her tightly clenched heart found relief, and she exclaimed indignantly, “Who was it? How despicable!”

“It was Jonathan’s subordinate, Isaac,” Samuel replied.

In other words, Jonathan had orchestrated all of this. According to the surveillance footage, Isaac

sneaked into Joseph’s office this morning. Although the culprit was arrested, he refused to admit that

he was acting on Preston’s orders, but due to the evidence from the urine test and Isaac’s incoherent

statements, the police had no authority to detain Joseph.

Chloe was speechless.

‘Is this retaliation for the altercation with Jonathan yesterday? Such foolishness and malice!”

Joseph’s gloomy mood enveloped him, his imposing presence intimidating. He gently ruffled her hair

and said, “I need to go to the family home. Samuel will take you home.”

Chloe shook her head. “I’ll go with you.” 1

Even if Preston and Octavia knew the truth, they would undoubtedly stand on Jonathan’s side. Harold

might favor Joseph, but there was little he could do since both sides were his

grandchildren.

Joseph’s eyes flickered slightly, and his mood improved a little. How could he refuse when Chloe

wanted to stand up for him?

At the Whitman family home.

After hearing the whole story, Harold’s face turned livid with anger. He glared at Jonathan and said,

“How dare you… Don’t you know how important that house is to Joseph?”

“Grandpa, I’m in need of money, and he refused to give me any. Why don’t you blame him?” Jonathan

retorted.

“Shut up!” Harold shouted, refusing to hear another word from him. “You even got Isaac to frame Joe.

Have you lost your mind?!”

“I didn’t! It wasn’t me!” Jonathan defended himself.

“That’s right, Dad. You can’t just believe everything you hear. Even Isaac denied it. Why are you

accusing Jonathan without evidence?” Octavia chimed in as she tenderly touched

Jonathan’s bruised cheekbone. “Look at him. Jon’s been in pain all night. Don’t you feel sorry for him?

How can you still blame him?”

Joseph closed his eyes and sank into the leather sofa he was sitting on. After a while, he said, So

you’re saying that everything is my fault?”

Preston spoke solemnly, “We’re all family, and you two are cousins. It’s not about who’s right or wrong.

But let me speak fairly, as the older cousin, you should support Jon’s entrepreneurial endeavors.”

“Hah.”

A short, mocking laugh broke the tense and heavy atmosphere, igniting the fuse and quickly setting off

an explosion.

Hearing the chuckle, Octavia stepped forward and accused, “Chloe, if I remember correctly, you’re no

longer part of the Whitmans. You have no right to intervene.”

“Okay.” Chloe looked at Harold with clear and innocent eyes. “Grandpa, if someone doesn’t welcome

me here, I won’t come again next time.”

“Don’t listen to her nonsense. This is your home!” Harold said.

Octavia was infuriated, her eyes rolling in exasperation. ‘How could Dad not help his own family? He

really has gotten old!’

“Stop talking about these irrelevant matters,” Preston said, thinking that with Harold present, he could

speak with more confidence than the previous night. “Joe, look at what you’ve done to your cousin. It’s

time to calm down. When will you reinstate Jon to the board?”

Chloe again chuckled at this remark. “You’re talking about an unrelated matter too. Why did he get

beaten? And why was he kicked out of the board? He can’t just whip out the victim card just because

he made a mistake and was punished. That property was worth roughly 150 million, and he sold it. To

put it more seriously, according to the law, with such a large amount involved, are you aware of how

many years Jonathan will end up behind bars? And do you really think Joseph doesn’t have any

method to force Isaac to speak the truth?”

Joseph was powerful and intelligent. He had plenty of ways to deal with such individuals. He had

returned here out of consideration for their kinship, and he wanted to lighten Harold’s burdens. How

could this family continue to take advantage of his kindness?

Joseph opened his eyes and looked at Chloe, who was fervently defending him. Emotions flooded his

deep and cold eyes. It felt as if a missing piece in his body had been filled. An indescribable emotion

permeated his heart as if someone had traversed mountains and rivers to stand in front of him, offering

the most precious warmth. It infused his once

monochromatic existence with vibrant hues, overflowing with unbridled passion, and profoundly stirring

his soul.

“They’re cousins!” Octavia declared, her voice resonating with emotion.

“Even blood relatives have to settle their accounts.”

Preston said, “You don’t understand. Jon has made significant contributions to the Whitman Group over

the years. He should be treated better than this.”

“All right, let’s tally up his contributions and see how much he has actually done,” Joseph replied

calmly.

Preston fell silent.

Joseph stood up, his gaze cold and detached as he swept it over Preston. He let out a low, sardonic

laugh and continued, “If Jon has generated profits of at least 100 thousand dollars for the Whitmans, I’ll

heed your words and reinstate him onto the board. If he hasn’t, it will reflect his inability to learn and

your responsibility, Uncle Pres. To feed without teaching is the father’s fault. I suppose you wouldn’t

feel comfortable staying at the Whitmans Group any longer after that, would you?”

Jonathan, feeling infuriated and ashamed, refused, “No, I don’t agree to this!”

What did it mean to generate 100 thousand dollars in profits?

In a conglomerate like the Whitman Group, anyone with normal intelligence could achieve. that. It was

not that he lacked intelligence, but rather he had a propensity for taking reckless. risks, which resulted

in greater losses.
