Chapter 426 Her Name’s Luciana Sullivan
At the female prison, a prison guard fished out Ava’s file. “She was released on bail a while back.”
Chloe furrowed her brows. “It’s that easy to bail her out?”
“I don’t know either. It was an order from higher up.”
“When exactly did this happen?” Joseph asked.
“Early August.”
Joseph tapped on the table and cracked a profound smile. That was the time he had met Noah at the Johnson Group.
Chloe found it strange, but she thought there would be no useful clues to dig out of Ava. At the moment, she needed to find a day to go to the South. What piqued her interest more was what Joseph had said to the prison guard earlier. Why did Benjamin behave himself after that incident?
“I told the guard that Benjamin asked us to help him escape from prison.”
Chloe was rendered speechless.
Joseph then changed the topic and promised solemnly, “I’ll reconsider what to do with Xavia’s
child after the delivery. I promise to give you a reply that you’ll be satisfied with.”
For some reason, she wanted to believe him and looked up at him in silence.
Pinching her cheek, he snorted. “You don’t believe me?”
“Don’t you dare lie to me.”
He pursed his lips and leaned down to touch her head. “I won’t. But didn’t you do just
that very same thing?” 2
Chloe muttered, “Don’t hold grudges.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She had lied to him once. Besides, she was also a victim. Emily had not pointed out clearly who Jake’s uncle was.
“Let’s head back to the family home tonight.”
Chloe was about to turn him down when he said in dissatisfaction, “Have you forgotten about your task?”
After a pause, she recalled that she needed to help him get the note. She smacked her forehead in frustration. “I did forget about that. I’ll find you after I finish drafting the proposal. I have another client coming in this afternoon.”
She had been trying to get in touch with that client for a long while, but she got no response until this morning when the client called her. Although it was a little strange, the customer was king, and thus she could not refuse to see the client.
After dropping Chloe back at the company, Joseph called Calvin to meet up. Slight confusion overcame Calvin because of Joseph’s invitation. After they agreed on the time, they quickly
met up.
“Mr. Joseph, nobody does things without a reason. May I know what I can do for you?” Calvin was an open-minded person, and people could adapt quickly to situations. In the past, they argued with each
other because of some misunderstandings. After he apologized to Chloe, he texted Joseph to express his apology though Joseph gave no reply.
Joseph picked up his teacup and blew on his tea. After that, he elegantly took a sip. “I’d like to know something about Mr. Desmond’s daughter.”
Calvin’s expression turned solemn. “Why’s that?”
“You can’t tell me?”
Calvin recalled Noah’s words and nodded. “Yes, I have some concerns.”
“I won’t make things difficult for you. Just tell me her name.”
After a slight hesitation, Calvin confessed, “Her name’s Luciana Sullivan.”
When Chloe got back to the office, she worked for more than an hour before finishing the first edition of the proposal and emailing it to Nathan’s father. As she was about to head
downstairs to grab a cup of coffee, the receptionist called and informed her that the client had arrived. She immediately headed downstairs to receive them, but a crease formed between her brows when she saw the person.
‘Why is it a woman?’
It was not that Chloe discriminated against women, but she recalled that the client should be a middle- aged man.
