Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 688 Frieda’s Personal Information

“At least I'm not seducing men in public." Xavia gritted her teeth.

Chloe simply shrugged and concurred, "Of course not. You're just exceptional at putting on a facade."

An innocent flower in public, a scheming serpent in private.

Xavia sneered. "You've been playing this act for five years now. No need for flattery." She had hoped to at least remain by Joseph's side, even if she could not win his heart. But with this slut’s return, her chances were now even slimmer than before. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Tucking her hair behind her ear, Chloe casually remarked, "It has been five years, and you two haven’t made anything official. How embarrassing."

This had caught Chloe by surprise. She assumed that after posting online, Joseph would come to Xavia’s defense. But to her astonishment, the netizens instead ridiculed Xavia and pointed out that she was not married into the Whitman family. Joseph remained single to this day and had distanced himself from Xavia. But although she was not a good person, he was not any better.

"Shut up!" Xavia was stung by Chloe's words, her face alternating between shades of red and white. She turned to Joseph and said, "Joe, I came to find you today because of the online rumors. The students at Jas’ school are using it to attack him. We have to suppress the rumors."

Joseph did not care for Xavia, but he cared for his son. Moreover, he saw Jasper as an extraordinary child, valuing and respecting his son’s opinions. When public opinion had been brewing, he had sought Jasper's input. Jasper's response was that he did not care about other people's opinions. Besides, intentionally suppressing trending rumors could be seen as "Where there's smoke, there's a fire.”

"I've already told you that you no longer need to interfere in Jas' affairs. As for custody rights, I've consulted with a lawyer and drafted up an agreement. If you have any objections, we can meet in court," Joseph coldly said.

Xavia was taken aback, forcing out a smile as she kindly reminded him, "Joe, that's not what we're talking about right now."

"There's no need for us to discuss anything else."

Her expression froze, unable to believe that Joseph would embarrass her like this.

Lucas intervened right then. "Sir, the forum is about to start."

Having seen enough of the commotion, Chloe waved to Frieda. "I’m heading off now."

Frieda glanced at Chloe, then at Joseph. After a brief pause, she suggested, "Ms. Chloe, why don’t you come with me? They say the forum will be very insightful."

As a strange expression crossed her face, Chloe declined the invitation. Perhaps Frieda realized the awkwardness of the situation, so she smiled in embarrassment and entered the venue alone, clutching the invitation letter.

Chloe started the car and hit the accelerator, skillfully maneuvering the vehicle out of its parking space. Suddenly, a small figure stood in front of her car, extending their arms to block the way.

With a raised eyebrow, she remarked, "Filling in for Xavia, are we?"

The son appeared barely after the mother left. He must have been lurking in the shadows, observing the situation for quite some time.

Jasper did not respond and instead got into the passenger seat. He then brought up a location on his phone’s navigate app. "I want to take you somewhere."

Chloe responded, "I don't want to go, thanks."

"Aren't you curious about where we're going?"

"Nope, not all."

Jasper remained unaffected by her indifference, calmly taking a sip of water before clearing his throat. "If you refuse to go with me, I'll report you for attempting to kidnap a minor."

"...Being as despicable as your father at such a young age isn’t a good look," Chloe retorted.

Jasper simply shrugged, appearing unfazed. "Let's go then."

After Frieda entered Fairlight, Lucas quickly escorted her to the office. Before long, Joseph walked in, holding a file containing Frieda’s personal information.
