Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 684 The Shame of Her Life

Benjamin's face became badly bruised from the punch, but he had no chance to retaliate. As expected, the warden pulled them apart.

"I'm not lying. There’s a watch back in the villa that the man left behind. It's in the basement." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

This revelation filled Chloe with extremely complicated feelings, and she found it hard to say anything.

Noah regained his wits. His eyes turned icy as he said, "How do we know if you're lying or not?"

"Go ahead and do a paternity test." Benjamin started coughing and his breathing became labored. He suggested intermittently, "I…I’m running out of time. We…We should expose the truth to…the public."

Benjamin could admit that he had cheated on Luciana first, but this was the true reason he disliked Chloe. Before he was imprisoned, he had always thought of her as filthy since she was not a true Johnson. Alas, people only gained epiphany on the verge of death. Although she was not his child by blood, Chloe had seen him as her father. He had failed to cherish those days.

The warden took Benjamin away.

Chloe felt rather dizzy. She did not want to believe him, but her desire to go to the Johnson villa betrayed her true thoughts. Noah did not stop her. Similarly, he doubted Benjamin's words.

They drove to the Johnson Villa. Following Benjamin's story, they found an old watch in the basement. Noah studied it carefully and realized that it was an invaluable watch.

"This comes from a brand that's been globally popular for twenty years. Only three of these yearly- commemorative watches were ever sold. Benjamin could not have bought it during that particular year given his past financial level."

Chloe's heart skipped a beat. It had been a long time since she had felt so helpless.

Noah could understand her feelings. He patted her head. "These watches were sold out that year. It won’t be hard to find who the buyers were."

Exotic Star was one of the top luxury goods brands, and Noah had been immersed in this circle since his childhood. He should be able to quickly find out the original owner of this watch.

Chloe nodded. That was all they could do at that moment.

Xavia paced back and forth in an apartment not far away from the villa. She had received word that Harold had been discharged from the hospital. Of course, it must have been done with a reason. After eliminating the possibility that he was transferred to another hospital, the only other possibility was that Harold was about to wake up.

Fear engulfed her when she thought of the second possibility.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Xavia reflexively shuddered before slowly walking over and looking through the peephole. Eustace's face appeared in her vision. She felt her breath hitch. How had he found this place?

"I know you're home. Open the door if you don't want a scene."

Xavia gnashed her teeth and let him in.

Eustace sized up the apartment and smiled casually. "It’s been a long time since you’ve last visited the child and me."

Xavia clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress her anger. "We made a deal—I’d give you the child, and you’d stop disrupting my life."

"Did you do that willingly? Would you say that if Mr. Noah hadn’t found the child you dumped in the trash?" Eustace flared up in a rage. A deep coldness engulfed him as he brought this up. "No matter how cruel you are, how could you bear to kill your own child?!”

"She isn't my child! She's a stupid girl who's mentally challenged!" Xavia became agitated too. She stared at him angrily and argued, "I refuse to admit I birthed such a child. She’s the shame of my life!"
