Chapter 418 I Should Die to Give Way to You
Joseph was caught between tears and laughter. “Xavia doesn’t have that kind of power. I haven’t said anything, so please don’t assume what I’m thinking.”
Chloe gazed at him intently. “It’s not about her personal capabilities, but the people behind her. Besides, she’s incredibly beautiful. What man doesn’t desire a beautiful woman? They’re attracted to her beauty, and she’s enticed by their power.”
“If that’s the case, would they allow Xavia to bear
my
child?” Joseph questioned.
Chloe fell into silence, unsure of how to respond. Joseph’s reasoning made sense. Moreover, even though he did not explicitly say anything, he was clearly troubled by the fact that Xavia was carrying his child.
The more Chloe pondered the situation, the more distressed she became. Deep down, she vehemently resisted the idea of her baby and Xavia’s child sharing the same father. If that were the case, she would rather not have the child. She could just find another man with a clean background, marry him, and make him a Johnson.
“I don’t have any objection if you insist on filing a report, but I don’t believe it’s necessary,” Joseph said in a low tone, displaying no hint of mercy toward Xavia. He believed that filing a report and launching an investigation would not yield results and would only alert the enemy.
Chloe’s mind raced with countless thoughts, and she lifted her head to stare at Joseph. “I don’t care what you think. I’m filing a report.”
Unraveling the truth became a secondary priority. At the moment, Chloe’s main objective was to bring Xavia under control and make her stop whatever she was doing. That would be sufficient for Chloe. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Joseph was speechless.
Chloe wasted no time and went to find Tyson again.
During a music concert where Xavia was performing, the police delivered a message to her and took her away for questioning. It was her first performance in Aesper since her return, and it instantly caused a commotion among the audience.
“You’re arresting me without any evidence! You better watch out! I’ll sue you for abusing your power!” Xavia exclaimed angrily, her chest heaving with intense emotions as she sat in the interrogation room.
“We haven’t taken any action against you. We just want to have a conversation, so relax,” Tyson said calmly.
Xavia maintained a hostile expression as she looked at him. “Did Chloe send you to arrest me?
How could I, a chemotherapy patient and a pregnant woman, possibly sneak into her house in the middle of the night?”
“You’re a suspect. We didn’t say you were the one who did it. Lower your guard and cooperate with us.” Tyson looked at her intently. “Where were you on the night of August 29th at 8 PM till 3 AM the next day? And what were you doing? Do you have any relevant witnesses?”
Xavia’s gaze drifted, and the next moment, she choked up, “I was at home the whole time. The nanny can testify. Chloe is just jealous that I’m carrying Joe’s child and deliberately causing trouble for me… This has nothing to do with me… Haven’t you already found fingerprints? Why are you still making things difficult for me? Did you accept her bribe too?” Xavia protested.
Tyson frowned and signaled to his colleague before excusing himself. When the officer had connections with the person who filed the report or the suspect, they had to stay away from the case to avoid suspicion.
Half an hour later, Xavia was released. As she caught sight of Chloe and Joseph, a flicker of resentment flashed through her eyes, and she abruptly threw herself at a distant table. Although her action seemed violent, she controlled the extent of her force.
Joseph quickly stood up and intercepted her. He grabbed her and admonished, “What are you doing?!”
With reddened eyes, Xavia’s tears streamed down uncontrollably as she said, “Ms. Chloe suspects me, and you’re not helping me either! I don’t know what to do. I’m alone and helpless in this world. It’s better to die so that you two can be together!”
