Chapter 505 Joseph the Scumbag

Joseph tilted his head, his face expressionless and his gaze indifferent. “Did they go to you for the lawsuit?”

Samuel was Joseph’s high school classmate. After Joseph went abroad to establish his business, the Whitmans thought that he and Samuel had ceased contacting each other.

“Of course not. I’m too expensive for them to hire.” Samuel looked proud but a look of disdain. engulfed him soon after. “Jonathan hired the second best-that lawyer who is always one level weaker than me.”

In the law industry, Samuel sat in the top spot while Victor Cottrell was in second.

Joseph tilted his head and snorted. “Victor Cottrell?” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Right on the money.”

“His father came here to make a scene today.”

Samuel reacted. “So, this family knows Preston? Are they on the same boat?”

“Yes, they’re the ones who will sink or swim together.”

Samuel poured a glass of water and swiftly gulped it down. “What’s your plan?”

Joseph shot his friend with a cold, scornful glare. “Can’t you handle it?”

“Yes, I can, but I’m afraid that Mr. Harold will pester you about this.”

After all, they were Harold’s descendants. If his grandson and son got into a fight, he would suffer the most given that he was the grandfather as well as the father.

“What’s Preston trying to sue me with?”

“Ungratefulness and disloyalty. He’s even claiming that you’re occupying family assets.”

Joseph sounded rather absent-minded. “I look forward to this lawsuit.”

“Aren’t you afraid of becoming a target of scorn?” Samuel clicked his tongue. “The Whitmans. are the top aristocratic family in Docwood. It’d be humiliating to bring such a mess to court.”

Ordinary people cared about their prestige and image, let alone a rich aristocratic family like the Whitmans. Of course, this sort of family valued their reputation very much.

“Meet with Tavia when you have the time,” Joseph suggested.

“Why? Do you want her to stop Preston?”

A malicious sneer appeared on Joseph’s handsome face. “Her husband cheated on her, and she has the right to know.”

Bewilderment got the better of Samuel. “Who’s Preston’s mistress?”

Octavia had gotten pregnant with Preston’s child before their marriage, and it had created quite an uproar. They claimed that what they had was true love, but after two decades, that statement had been refuted-maybe even earlier.

There were too few men in this world who had never cheated on their significant others.

“Hazel, Victor’s younger sister.”

Lucas became confused. “But didn’t Hazel just say that she didn’t sleep with Preston?”

“It’s likely that he didn’t manage to seal the deal, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t want to,” Joseph stated coldly. There was no difference in either case.

Samuel’s eyes went wide. He never expected Victor’s family to be such a mess. “Let’s go to a cafe and sit down to discuss this at length.” With this piece of gossip in hand, he felt that he could criticize Victor the next time they met.

“I’m busy. Just do as you see fit. I need to go home to my wife.”

Samuel watched as Joseph walked away and left. He then rubbed his eyes forcefully.

“Is that the same man who holds women in disdain? He’s now a man who’s afraid of his wife.”

Joseph was heading home at five o’clock in the evening. He clearly valued his woman more than his friends.

Lucas whispered, “The thing is, he bickered with Ms. Chloe earlier. He tried coaxing her all afternoon but failed.”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

Even pigs might even fly now. Joseph had learned how to coax people and was now no longer an insensible man. He had turned over a new leaf to become a warm, considerate person.

Chloe rushed home in a fit of anger. She wanted to grab a bite, but after going around for a day, she was exhausted. Lying in bed, she unconsciously dozed off.

After sleeping for three hours, she woke up. The sky had darkened, so the whole room was in shadow. She picked up her phone, but Joseph had not called or texted her.

She had given him both portions of takeout and was starving now, and it was normal for pregnant ladies to be emotional.

Feeling aggrieved, her eyes turned red. She scolded angrily, “You’re a fucking scumbag, Joseph!”
