Chapter 367 Fatal Consequences, Escorted to the Police Station

Patrick was momentarily at a loss for words, contemplating his response.

“Ms. Chloe, you’re right. Mr. Harold can only oversee things for a while and not for a lifetime. But what about you? Do you no longer have any feelings for Mr. Joseph?”

Chloe froze, her eyelashes quivering ever so slightly. “No, I don’t,” she admitted with a heavy sigh. Joseph was right, she should not have provoked him. She had only brought discomfort

herself.

Without bidding farewell to Harold, Chloe left the Whitman home. She knew he would

continue to try and persuade her, but the decision had already been made, and there was no need to further prolong the inevitable.

Upon her return to the office, the first order of business for Chloe was to investigate the records of the car accident. With Icarus’ license plate number in hand, she accessed the traffic accident database. Her heart sank as she read the information that appeared on the screen.

To her disbelief, the vehicle that collided with them that day was not a tanker truck, but a regular private car. Unable to accept this revelation, Chloe decided to visit the traffic enforcement department and make further inquiries. To her dismay, the information she obtained there confirmed the facts.

Chloe experienced an inexplicable sense of unease. Why would Icarus lie to her when he had always been a kind-hearted person? Even if he did not lie, she had already considered being with him. She remembered all the good things about him.

The sleepless night took a toll on Chloe, leaving her in a state of confusion and exhaustion. Upon her arrival at the company the next day, the receptionist informed her that someone was looking for her and was waiting in her office. Chloe first thought it was Joseph, but then she heard the receptionist hesitating before providing a description. “He appears to be around forty years old, with a square face. I think he’s the CEO of an entertainment company.”

‘Calvin Norman! But why is he here? Is he here to speak out on behalf of Ava again? It’s been a

while since I last saw her…’ Chloe wondered silently.

With a nod in response, Chloe nervously made her way upstairs. There was something unsettling about Calvin’s psyche. Why had he suddenly claimed Ava as his goddaughter and treated her with such kindness and genuine care? It all seemed peculiar and out of place.

In the office, an air of awkwardness enveloped Chloe and Calvin. The latter appeared uneasy as he said, “I didn’t grasp the situation correctly before, and as a result, I unintentionally caused you harm.”

“Huh?” Chloe was taken aback. “You came all this way just to apologize to me?”

“Yes… Truth be told, I mistook Ava for a child of an old acquaintance, and that led me to

shower her with excessive affection. And I often wrongly believed that you were mistreating

her…”

Chloe comprehended his explanation. “I see. So are you still her godfather?”

“No, no. I’ve severed all ties with her.”

These past few days, a heavy sense of guilt had weighed on Calvin’s conscience. When Noah shared the details of how Ava and Karen had bullied Chloe since their childhood, he had never felt more

foolish in his entire life.

Chloe graciously accepted his apology. In her opinion, the past had already transpired, and apologies held little significance. However, she believed that accepting the apology might offer some solace to the remorseful party.

Calvin felt a sense of relief upon receiving forgiveness, yet a lingering bitterness still resided within his heart. He had wasted precious time, and to add to it, Ava turned out not to be Luciana’s daughter. He would have to start anew, embarking on a quest within the vast sea of individuals to locate Luciana’s daughter. It seemed easier for Noah to investigate since he had more information. Perhaps he would be able to find her.

Then again, if Luciana’s child were to return to the Sullivans, they would have to collaborate with Noah in managing Exotic Star. Could he genuinely accept that deep down?

Upon leaving the Johnson Group, Calvin made his way toward the parking lot. Suddenly, his attention was captured by the sight of uniformed police officers entering the company premises, heading straight for Chloe’s office. He stood rooted to the spot as Chloe was soon. escorted out by the police.

Desperately, she explained her case to the officers, her words filled with urgency. “I strictly adhere to building regulations. The matter of wage settlements falls under the responsibility of my partner, Aaron Mitchell. This has nothing to do with me!”

“Aaron Mitchell has absconded. The unpaid wages are a minor concern now. The primary issue at hand is the safety equipment at the construction site. There was an accident resulting in an unexpected fatality. The victim’s family is filing a lawsuit against you, and you will be held legally accountable.”

In one swift motion, Chloe swayed as she was forcefully ushered into the police car by two female officers.

There was a significant distinction between a mere accident and one that resulted in someone’s death. Calvin wasted no time in contacting Joseph to relay the news. Their top priority now was to secure a competent lawyer who could effectively navigate the situation.

At the hospital, the doctor held the prenatal examination report and addressed Joseph with a hint of disapproval, “Despite the patient’s significant health improvements due to NôvelDrama.Org © content.

chemotherapy, her condition still can’t be equated to that of a healthy individual, particularly when considering the risks of pregnancy. Emotional stability should take precedence over everything else. As the father of the child, it was disheartening to see that you didn’t visit her last night when she was admitted.”

Xavia interjected in a gentle tone, defending Joseph, “Doctor, he has been swamped with work. It’s understandable.”

The doctor let out a sigh but refrained from saying anything further.

“Joe, I-”

But before she could finish her sentence, their conversation was abruptly interrupted by the

sound of a ringing phone. Joseph saw that it was a call from Calvin and raised an eyebrow before answering it.
