Chapter 560 Don’t Defy Me, Chloe

Joseph's eyes narrowed slightly and he asked coldly, "Which room is she in?"

The owner lowered his head to check the system. "Please wait a moment, let me check."

Tyson took back his identification and glanced at the man beside him silently.

"Room 3, second floor," the owner stated.

Joseph fished out a cigarette, lit it, and proceeded up the stairs. Tyson followed closely behind and

asked, "Did you and Chloe have a fight?"

Joseph remained silent, showing no intention of answering.

"Have you two remarried? Have you obtained a marriage certificate? How’s her health been lately?"

Joseph turned his head to look at him. "Do you have something to tell me?"

Tyson touched his nose. "No. Nothing."

He just wanted to see if Chloe had terminated the pregnancy. Judging by Joseph's reaction, it

seemed likely that she had, but she probably did not inform him. Otherwise, how could he remain so

composed? After all, a pregnancy would begin to show at four months.

The guesthouse was not large, and they reached Chloe's room within a minute or two.

Joseph and Tyson exchanged a few words, with the former instructing, "You should leave."

"Okay, okay. I won't intrude on your private conversation," Tyson responded understandingly, taking

out his walkie-talkie and leaving to find his colleagues.

Joseph raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

"Who is it?"

A familiar voice piped up, causing his brows to furrow tightly. He found it difficult to believe that

Chloe would stay in a place that cost only 10 bucks per night.

'Where’s that card that I gave her? Does she not know how to use it?'

Chloe had ordered takeout and assumed it was the delivery man, so she opened the door without

any precaution. Before she could react, Joseph stepped inside.

Chloe was momentarily stunned, looking up at him in a daze. Their eyes met, and sparks flew. She

widened her eyes, wanting to push him out of her room, but Joseph's tall figure remained unmoved.

He firmly grabbed her shoulder and hissed, "Are you trying to push me out?"

"This is my room, and you’re barging in without permission. Why can't I push you?" Chloe retorted.

He took a deep breath, gripping her wrist and trying to lead her outside. "Let’s go home."

"No, I won't. We've already broken up," Chloe replied.

"You’ve been at this for a whole day. Haven't you caused enough trouble?"

"I haven't caused any trouble. I'm serious, Joseph. We’re done." Chloe sneered.

"I won't become the stepmother of your ex's child," she continued, "I don't want to endure such

grievances. It doesn’t matter whether you think I'm untrustworthy or I'm just throwing a temper

tantrum. In any case, I've decided to end our relationship. Now, please leave."

Joseph stared into her eyes, and a disdainful smirk spread across his handsome face. "Do you

know the significance of simultaneously owning Fairlight and the Whitman Group? Our child would

be born into a position of privilege, far superior to others. Xavia's child on the other hand will be in a

pitiful position. What more could you ask for?" he taunted.

"I'm not ungrateful. I just can't bear it!" Chloe exploded, tears shimmering in her eyes as she

suppressed her pain. "I can't sacrifice my dignity just to be with you!" The thought of raising his ex's

child together disgusted her.

"In what sense would you be sacrificing your dignity?" Joseph pressed his temples, his gaze cold

and impatient, each word piercing her heart. "You're simply taking advantage of the situation.

"Come home with me now. Don't make me say it a second time," he demanded. He had made

countless compromises in this matter, only to receive her stubbornness and willfulness in return.

"Fine, think of it as me taking advantage of the situation. Will you leave now?" Chloe retorted.

"Chloe, don't defy me," he warned.

Despite meeting his cold gaze and feeling a tinge of fear, Chloe mustered the courage to express

her innermost thoughts. "Now that our relationship is over, I have the right to stay wherever I

choose. You can't dictate my freedom."

A malicious smile played on Joseph's lips. "Our relationship isn’t something you can end by simply

calling it quits."
