Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 515

Chapter 515 Watch Your Back

As someone who was a notorious money-grubber, even Samuel could not stand Edgar’s audacious attitude. He sneered, “Hazel’s barely been dead for three hours, and you’re already eager to profit from her death. It’s a great sorrow to have you as a brother!”

“You don’t understand,” Victor retorted, “Once a person dies, they can’t come back to life. If her death can serve a purpose, she would find it honorable in the afterlife.”

“Tigers never devour their own cubs, and siblings should never deceive each other. Keep in mind that karma has a way of coming back around. Victor, oh, Victor. Your father bestowed you with such a name, hoping you’d always emerge victorious. But the truth is, you’ve never once triumphed over me. Doesn’t the name ‘Victor’ now seem like a cruel jest? Perhaps it’s because your numerous transgressions are catching up with you, and now you’re facing the consequences?”

Victor was left speechless, his face turning red with embarrassment. “Hmph! Do you still have the luxury to argue with us here? I bet you can’t bear to see your beloved wife behind bars, right, Mr. Joseph?”

Joseph stood tall, his chin slightly raised and his gaze cold as ice. “Of course, I’ll never let that happen.”

As he smirked, Edgar started to think of conditions to propose. But in the next instant, Joseph’s voice changed as he said, “I won’t spare anyone who had a hand in this, so watch your back.”

Edgar’s face sank, and he retorted impolitely, “Threatening me won’t benefit you. Is it that hard for you to humble yourself? Or do you think that woman isn’t worth as much as your reputation?”

As far as he knew, Chloe held a significant position in Joseph’s heart, and he would do everything he could to help her.

Victor chimed in, even bursting with confidence as he began to lay out conditions. In the past, the Cottrells would never dare to speak to Joseph in such a manner, but now, the situation was different. It was no longer just about business. Victor did not believe that Joseph was capable of bailing out a murder suspect from jail.

A subtle smirk curved Joseph’s lips, his smile sending shivers down Samuel’s spine. Every time Joseph smiled like that, it meant he was about to take serious action.

Joseph walked to the side and made a phone call. Edgar and Victor exchanged glances, feeling somewhat uneasy. But after some time, nothing happened. They began to feel relieved, thinking it was all just a bluff.

“Sir? Aren’t you on vacation? Why are you here?” A young police officer sitting in a chair

gaped at the middle-aged man who entered the hall. The man was dressed casually and appeared to be around forty years old.

Nathaniel Harrison’s face was stern as he ignored the young officer and strode into the interrogation room. After about ten minutes, a barrage of furious cursing could be heard from

inside.

At this point, the Cottrells sensed that something was amiss. Sure enough, the officer in charge of the case hastily rushed out and said to Joseph, “Sir, please wait for a moment. Ms. Chloe just has to sign a few documents and she can be released.”

“What?! Are you kidding me?! Chloe is the prime suspect. How could you release her so quickly?!” Edgar questioned angrily.

“Chloe isn’t the culprit. We’ve already confirmed it,” the officer replied.

“Bullshit! Did you even investigate properly?! Chloe’s motive for the crime is as clear as day!”

“Sir, please trust us.” The officer’s expression turned grim. Without further explanation to Edgar, he turned around and went back to complete the formalities with Chloe.

Edgar and Victor looked at each other, then turned their gaze to Joseph. They smiled at him awkwardly and said, “Mr. Joseph, we were just joking with you.”

Joseph parted his lips and said, “Get out of my sight.”

Edgar and Victor had no other choice but to leave in frustration. Samuel looked at them and asked, “Who did you ask for help?”

He knew that Joseph had a team of his own, but it seemed that it was not deployed in this situation.

“I just informed my grandfather about Chloe’s situation.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Huh?”

“Mr. Nathaniel’s father served under Grandpa back in the military,” Joseph replied flatly,
